Quote:The original FMA anime was a classic tragedy about hubris and its recognition that transcended its origins in the manga. In contrast, Brotherhood emphasizes the melodrama inherent in the manga by eschewing continuity-of-the-moment and instead flaunting its childish humor in a manner that deliberately deadens the potential for drama. We also still effectively have no contiguous mystery to offset the chance occurrences that are taking the place of plot line. So we end up with a tale that is uninspired and derivative.He's happy with the first anime.
