My best friend passed away this year. We watched FMA together many years ago and we grew up listening to this song. It just make me feel that he still here and we can talk about anime any time. I don't know where you are bro, but I want to thank you for these 18 years we had been together. You were the best friend I could have. Rest in peace!
This is actually depressing to read, I hope everything goes your way for a while, life has a funny way of balancing things. The absolute worst has happened to you and everyone else he knew, but now the only way is up right? Things will get better man, I hope you live a good life.
"Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only truth." -Alphonse Elric
"---- But the world isn't perfect and the law is incomplete. Equivalent exchange doesn't encompass everything that goes on here, but I still choose to believe in its principle. That all things do come at a price. That there's an ebb and a flow, a cycle that the pain we went through did have a reward and that anyone who's determined and perseveres will get something of value in return, even if it's not what they expected. I don't think of equivalent exchange as a law of the world anymore. I think of it as a promise, between my brother and me, a promise that someday we'll see each other again."
Never skip any opening. Unless it's one of those really annoying comedy anime openings that are sung by the characters in the show and basically just tell you what the show is about. Those can be pretty bad sometimes (some exceptions of course, like Gamers!). Still though, never skip any FMA openings at least.
it's good for 2003 version (which I watched first) but for some reason when it skipped end credits and skipped the next op, it never skipped undo (op3) and since I love that op I never skipped em, so in conclusion, our favorites are all personal, this one is a close second after undo
I watched FMA pretty late, especially since Brotherhood was what got me into the franchise, and when I heard this song, I could have sworn I've heard it before. I thought to myself, "isn't this that one intro song from that one flash sonic game I used to play hours on end when I was a kid?", and then I scrolled down to the comments section and... what do you know.
@@francyx_v ohh yes! Here's the game ruclips.net/video/9eU3-3Y8Suk/видео.htmlsi=I2U2syB57AMwuQ-Y I never understood the controls tho never got past the first guy
So I just finished watching FMA 2003... I’ll be perfectly honest. I was hooked until the end. After watching brotherhood first, I was intrigued and drawn to this alternative story. While others may say the ending was nothing short of heresy, I saw it as a way to give us hope, that one day, the Elric brothers would be reunited. All in all, I think it was one of the best damn anime of the early 2000s, retaining that classic feel, all while being an inspiration for the future anime to come
am i the only one who kinda cries internally when i hear this song? fma 2003 is truly a masterpiece: intense, wise, profound, tackling complex ideas. i have never seen something like that before. the ending ( before the film shamballa ) was somehow incomplete, yet rewarding. truly one of the most bittersweet things you will ever see
I would lose the sonic x5 final fantasy game on purpose just hear this masterpiece over and over again for about 2days in a row then learn and understand the lyrics thats how much I luv this song...sooo good.
All of the FMA openings have there own strengths but Brotherhood had probably the weakest one for it's last opening. Brotherhood also had some of the best openings and endings. But the only memorable ones in this one for me at least was Melissa and Ready Steady Go
story, at the beginning of quarantine, i decided to finally watch fma. I had watched brotherhood two years prior and always loved it. I heard it was different but gave it a shot anyway. I watched it straight for about 3-4 days. This was during the beginning of quarantine, when school was lightening up. Everyday me and my friends would play No Man's sky and i would watch this in class. Looking back now, its only been 6-7 months, but God Damn do i miss early quarantine. It was so fun and new. I already have nostalgia when i listen to this song. I swear quarantine really speeds the nostalgia process up ;-;
Fun fact: the first time I heard the starting bassline was the moment I realized I had synesthesia. I have never heard a more beautiful shade of sky blue before or since.
@@Swaggatron3000 no. It's when something trigger 2 human receptors. Like saying a color has a certain taste or a word has a certain smell. It is the brain associating a receptor, like smell, to something that normally doesn't trugger it and instead triggers another, like sound.
The opening guitar riff gets me every time. I just play this on repeat and after every few repeats I'm just like "I'ma switch the song real quick" but that little bit at the start pulls me back in. Every time.
I spent years with this stuck in my head, with no memories of where it was from. I found it years later. fma was the second anime I've watched, the first being yugioh. Drove me crazy for years but I found it. I'm almost 17
I went to a convention the day before yesterday and some people came up on stage to sing and I was one of them and I couldn't sing any other song but this one. To make it even better, the singer of the band that was going to perform at the convention came up and did the second voice in the chorus, it was a unique moment.
My sister introduced me to FMA and it was our favorite. When we first searched this song up long ago, we freaked out when we found out it was called Melissa. Melissa is my sister's name haha. It just brings back nice memories.
This is the greatest song I've ever heard, this will always be my number one jam, man, thank you so much for uploading this! This is amazing! You're awesome at this, and I live for this song :)
@@sigurdtheblue I have seen Soul Eater and Resonance is also at the top of my list but Melissa has a special nostalgia for me. Not seen RK yet though I plan to at some point, thanks for the rec!

I am so glad I started with this version first before brotherhood (granted I didnt know that brotherhood existed until after). Watching this back in 2014 in high school was such an eye opener to anime for me. This opening will be in my top 10 forever even though I know there are probably better ones out there. The nostalgia factor will always lead me back to this.
Got some really fond memories of talking my grandmother into watching FMA '03 with me. She got ADDICTED, and we finished it in a week. Today marks three years since she passed away. I'm gonna go watch some of FMA for her today. I love you, Granny. I miss you.
Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is Alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one and only truth.
I love this comment section, because I just started watching fma this month and it's literally older than I am, and reading all these old comments about nostalgia and stuff is really cool Edit: so I just finished fma03 and I absolutely loved it! I'm watching fmab now and hoping it will answer some of the questions that '03 left unanswered, I read that it's the more faithful to the manga anime bc it came out after the manga finished so I'm very excited for the story and characters to be more fleshed out and stuff!
It's amazing how an opening can grow on you with lightning speed. For about 2 episodes, I hated it, but sat through it. On the third episode, I saw the automail hand and heard Melissa. I suddenly loved it.
Super Shadic Modo Explosivo pra que ele postaria a letra da música em alfabeto romano se ja tem no video e na descriçao? ele postou pro pessoal japonês ter acesso ao lyric da música, (e eu aprecio quem faz isso já q to aprendendo japonês tbm.) Então... ^^
This song suddenly popped into my head today and I couldn’t figure out for the life of me what it was called or where it came from. I had to keep Googling whatever I thought the lyrics were and hope to find a match. I’m so glad I finally found it!
This anime is a damn masterpiece with Brotherhood. I can never think of a thing to actually trash talk the anime about, that's how good it is. Just a quality story with great characters to watch through and through.
Lyrics: Sever all your pain from memories plagued in vain Stop the endless woe you've come to know Find your heart and soul ;Break through every wall Until you reach your goal Come on chap you hands and fight until you're finally made whole Gazing skyward, and so sure tomorrow will arrive I don't know how I'll get through by myself With my heart in a daze The birds beside me soar away into the endless sky Will the find with their free spirits the light At the end of this maze? Please wait...I want to fly with you Let me on your back to look of my soul All the pain that haunts me to this day will vanish If I just reach up higher, I'll find what I desire I'll never tire 'til I... Sever all your pain from memories plagued in vain And stop the endless woe you've come to know Find your heart and soul ;Break through every wall Until you reach your goal Come on chap you hands and fight until you're finally made whole In the dark of night and sitting in the endless breeze I am bent down to the ground with no strength And I'm lost in despair It's times like these, I wish I had some wings to fly with ease I don't mind even being the melissa sailing high in the air I've tried to stand upon my feet But every time, I fall back down again Maybe this is not the way to find my answer The wind is calling to me, and it is guiding to me free And I will then find... The key to my way out of this abyss of doubt There's no time to wait or hesitate Even if I'm bound, and the key I have isn't the right one found Still, I will end it with the impact of the lock on the ground My soul will shine it's life through the pain and strife If I'm never saved, I'll still be brave If I disappear, my soul will still live on and help you fight your fears And the moonlight will reflect my shadow to show I'm still here
same as me, when my brother and his girlfriend had to babysit me a couple years ago we watched this anime and i remember this song completely. favorite anime and song :D
I just started watching this show. It’s older than me. I’ll come back and edit this comment when I’m done with S1, then again after brotherhood. So far it’s really interesting, and I wish I was more interested in it back in the day. S1 (Finished 11/12/21): Wow. That ending was just amazing. Season one was a 10/10 for me. Never a dull moment. It was so great, especially with that twist at the end. I’m gonna watch the movie, then brotherhood. I’ll update again after the movie, so stay tuned. My hopes are high now. S1 Movie (Finished 11/13/21): All I gotta say is that I never expected to see Hitler in anime. The ending was... eh. I hope Brotherhood has a better ending because it kind of breaks the illusion when the ending's revealed. S2 (Finished 2/21/22): Holy shit that’s gotta be one of the best animes I’ve watched. It took me a while bc I had an episode of depression pop up in the middle of it, but my god that was so fucking good. 10/10 all around. It diverted from Fullmetal Alchemist’s first plot, while also being awesome, badass, and not really changing what made FMA be FMA.
Fma is easily the best anime I’ve watched, and among my top 5 best tv-shows ever in general. So just finished the ending I got here to remember a more naive time, when even though still bleak, the early parts of the show was hopeful and optimistic. It fills me with naive hope to listen to this, especially after finishing the final episode.
Watching both it’s not that much darker since they both have the same base elements. But 2003 portrays them a lot darker. For example, the homenculus in this have all been real people at some point, and they create a lot of painful conflict when people who knew who they were supposed to be meet them. Sloth for example is completely replaced by a homenculus in the likeness of Trisha Elric, their mother. She is sloth here, and instead of embodying lazy sloth she embodies ignorant sloth. The element of sloth that is not caring about anything at all, not even the people supposed to be her sons. Without spoiling any more the entire deal with Shao and Nina Tucker... sure it has the same basis, but the first difference is that we spend a lot more time getting to know Nina before... all that. But what makes it so much darker is why happens after... sorry, I can’t spoil. But watch 2003 and you will get what I mean. Sure it had several of the same base elements but 2003 expands on it a lot more.

caralho, amei essa música, acho que ouvi ela umas 7 vezes seguidas hoje, eu jogava sonic final fantasy também, mas não sabia de qual anime era a música, isso lá em 2012, dai nesse ano meu colega me recomendou fullmetal alchemist para assistir, aí eu ouvi a música da abertura e automaticamente dei um pulo de felicidade ao dever que minha busca tinha acabado, estou muito feliz de poder ouvir a música completa graças a esse vídeo :)
usually when I listen to a song to often it gradually becomes less enjoyable to hear. I don't know why but this song is the only exception. No matter how many times I listen to it's still as good as the first time.
I got back into fmab recently after a like 10 year span and I could’ve sworn the intro sounded off. Turned out I was watching FMAB and not FMA. I cannot explain in words how much nostalgia I got from hearing this
OH MY GOD THE NOSTALGIA!!! I know most people prefer Brotherhood, but I watched 2003 first, AND it was one of the first anime I watched period, so I have a really special place in my heart for it. I'm not denying that Brotherhood is objectively better, but it'll always be my second favorite anime behind the original. FMA 2003 is an absolute CLASSIC and it saddens me that so many people write it off just bc it "didn't follow the manga"
Bruh I remember this from Sonic Final Fantasy and it’s making me cry because life was so easy back then. I could sit on my computer for hours and play games, now I have responsibilities
Although I prefer Brotherhood, I'm just so thankful we have two anime, two animated movies and a manga to enjoy of this beautiful series. (Fuck the live action tho)
@@djfoster720 its on Netflix. It's alright, (the best live action anime movie I've every seen i'll give it that) (well the one for BLEACH was pretty good, but I've yet to watch the anime for it so I don't know how it compares) but there are are still some of the mistakes. Wriny's hair is WORNG! So is Mustangs. Ed's is okay, but the part of it that sticks up isn't their (and he's a bit too tall). Hughes and Hawkeye are right. Wrath is just plan WORNG. Envy's hair looks funcky in live action. They got Vic to do Ed's voice in the dup though. They got everyone from the English dup to do the dup for the movie in fact. (well the ones for the og anime, not Brotherhood)
Best opening ever used on an anime, when you listen to it, you can feel the alchemy inside you. Note I just started studying my Chemistry career at university just because I watched this anime ♥️💚💛 Greetings from México 🇲🇽✌️
Nostalgia hitting me like a truck right now. I remember in middle school back in the day, all I could think about was humming this song and wanting to go home and watch more FMA...those were the days.
My best friend passed away this year. We watched FMA together many years ago and we grew up listening to this song. It just make me feel that he still here and we can talk about anime any time.
I don't know where you are bro, but I want to thank you for these 18 years we had been together. You were the best friend I could have. Rest in peace!

Melissa,Again,Hologram,Golden Time,Period ,Rain. I ❤ all of them
Hologram is really good as well. One of my favorites
UGH THE NOSTALGIA‼️‼️ THIS WAS THE FIRST JAPANSESE SONG I LEARNED ALL OF THE LYRICS TOO
I am so glad I started with this version first before brotherhood (granted I didnt know that brotherhood existed until after). Watching this back in 2014 in high school was such an eye opener to anime for me. This opening will be in my top 10 forever even though I know there are probably better ones out there. The nostalgia factor will always lead me back to this.
I've been searching for this song for 13 YEARS. ToT
Bless you RUclips ALGORITHM!
I don't know why but this has such a nostalgic sound to it, like it belongs to fullmetal alchemist, but specifically the original.
... because it does?
This op was the first contact that i had with an anime
i think that fmab is better than fma,but fma ops have an special place in my soul ❤
FandomTrash it was my first anime as well
fma is an anime i watched when i was 4 it was the 1st contact with anime ai had too
fma was my first anime too!!
@@andromeda_____5921 mine to
I watched them basically one after another and tbh I like them equally as much as eachother
Got some really fond memories of talking my grandmother into watching FMA '03 with me. She got ADDICTED, and we finished it in a week. Today marks three years since she passed away. I'm gonna go watch some of FMA for her today. I love you, Granny. I miss you.
I believe this is my favorite opening in all of anime history 🫡
It is.
mitochondria is the power house of the cell
Plain Idiot did Dr. Dark Frungus told you that fact? I know this because I have a PhD
wrong song buddy
It couldn't be more right buddy
Words of wisdom.
I was never taught what laws there are. I was never taught what laws there are!
This song gives me the vibes of sadness and hope. The bittersweet harmony makes this song great.

Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is Alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one and only truth.
i love this opening and fma03 so much😭 this specific opening reminds me of the summertime so much and give so much nostalgia
Fullmetal alchemist is one of my favorite series of all time
The best anime of all time
@@outside5973 one of the best*
@@kaushikkatikala it bring me nostalgia of my childhood age around 2012 but im 20 now
This, Inyuasha Change the World, and Gintama Pray will always be in my top 3 anime openings. I never get tired of them.
I love this comment section, because I just started watching fma this month and it's literally older than I am, and reading all these old comments about nostalgia and stuff is really cool
Edit: so I just finished fma03 and I absolutely loved it! I'm watching fmab now and hoping it will answer some of the questions that '03 left unanswered, I read that it's the more faithful to the manga anime bc it came out after the manga finished so I'm very excited for the story and characters to be more fleshed out and stuff!

It's amazing how an opening can grow on you with lightning speed. For about 2 episodes, I hated it, but sat through it. On the third episode, I saw the automail hand and heard Melissa. I suddenly loved it.
the most underrated fma opening and my favorite 💕

君の手で 斬り裂いて
遠い日の 記憶を
悲しみの 息の根をとめてくれよ
さあ 愛にこがれた胸をつらぬけ
明日が来るはずの空を見て
迷うばかりの心 持て余してる
傍らの鳥が羽ばたいた どこか
光を見つけられたのかな
なあ お前の背に 俺ものせてくれないか
そして１番高いとこで
置去りにして 優しさから遠ざけて
君の手で 斬り裂いて
遠い日の 記憶を
悲しみの 息の根をとめてくれよ
さあ 愛にこがれた胸をつらぬけ
鳥を夕闇に見送った
ちをはうばかりの俺を風がなぜる
羽が欲しいとは言わないさせめて
ちゅうにまうメリッサのはになりたい
もうずいぶんと立ち尽くしてみたけど
たぶん答えはないのだろう
この風にもいくあてなどないように
君の手で鍵をかけて
ためらいなどないだろう
間違っても2度とあくことのないように
さあ錠の落ちる音で終わらせて
救いのない 魂はながされて
消えゆく
きえてゆく 瞬間にわずか光る
今月が光る夜をうみだすのさ

This song suddenly popped into my head today and I couldn’t figure out for the life of me what it was called or where it came from. I had to keep Googling whatever I thought the lyrics were and hope to find a match. I’m so glad I finally found it!
This anime is a damn masterpiece with Brotherhood. I can never think of a thing to actually trash talk the anime about, that's how good it is. Just a quality story with great characters to watch through and through.
Lyrics:
Sever all your pain from memories plagued in vain
Stop the endless woe you've come to know
Find your heart and soul ;Break through every wall
Until you reach your goal
Come on chap you hands and fight until you're finally made whole
Gazing skyward, and so sure tomorrow will arrive
I don't know how I'll get through by myself
With my heart in a daze
The birds beside me soar away into the endless sky
Will the find with their free spirits the light
At the end of this maze?
Please wait...I want to fly with you
Let me on your back to look of my soul
All the pain that haunts me to this day will vanish
If I just reach up higher, I'll find what I desire
I'll never tire 'til I...
Sever all your pain from memories plagued in vain
And stop the endless woe you've come to know
Find your heart and soul ;Break through every wall
Until you reach your goal
Come on chap you hands and fight until you're finally made whole
In the dark of night and sitting in the endless breeze
I am bent down to the ground with no strength
And I'm lost in despair
It's times like these, I wish I had some wings to fly with ease
I don't mind even being the melissa sailing high in the air
I've tried to stand upon my feet
But every time, I fall back down again
Maybe this is not the way to find my answer
The wind is calling to me, and it is guiding to me free
And I will then find...
The key to my way out of this abyss of doubt
There's no time to wait or hesitate
Even if I'm bound, and the key I have isn't the right one found
Still, I will end it with the impact of the lock on the ground
My soul will shine it's life through the pain and strife
If I'm never saved, I'll still be brave
If I disappear, my soul will still live on and help you fight your fears
And the moonlight will reflect my shadow to show I'm still here
I typed "Kimi no Ke de" and i find this lol
Lol
Nick W kiki o keke
Lol I typed the same exact thing
I tiped kimini o tete
I typed "Kimi no tede"
Honestly, one of my fave anime openings even to this day! Just gets you kinda hyped, you know? Well, to anyone who sees this, have a good day.
tu nombre es igual al de la cancion, felicidades.
No other song slaps me in the face with early 2000s nostalgia than this
I really miss those times so much. Not even just nostalgia, the world was literally better
Real fma never NEVER BE SKIPPING THIS ABSOLUTE BANGER🙏🙏🙏
This song makes me feel strangely comfortable and genuinely grateful for everything.
awesome this song is my childhood ;)
You combine both comments
xD
Abraham Itriago indeed
:)
same as me, when my brother and his girlfriend had to babysit me a couple years ago we watched this anime and i remember this song completely. favorite anime and song :D
I just started watching this show. It’s older than me. I’ll come back and edit this comment when I’m done with S1, then again after brotherhood. So far it’s really interesting, and I wish I was more interested in it back in the day.
S1 (Finished 11/12/21): Wow. That ending was just amazing. Season one was a 10/10 for me. Never a dull moment. It was so great, especially with that twist at the end. I’m gonna watch the movie, then brotherhood. I’ll update again after the movie, so stay tuned. My hopes are high now.
S1 Movie (Finished 11/13/21): All I gotta say is that I never expected to see Hitler in anime. The ending was... eh. I hope Brotherhood has a better ending because it kind of breaks the illusion when the ending's revealed.
S2 (Finished 2/21/22): Holy shit that’s gotta be one of the best animes I’ve watched. It took me a while bc I had an episode of depression pop up in the middle of it, but my god that was so fucking good. 10/10 all around. It diverted from Fullmetal Alchemist’s first plot, while also being awesome, badass, and not really changing what made FMA be FMA.
Any updates?
Yeah, sorry. Just starting episode 31 now, actually.
Ki mi no te de... these words are going to give me nostalgia for the rest of my life
Fma is easily the best anime I’ve watched, and among my top 5 best tv-shows ever in general. So just finished the ending I got here to remember a more naive time, when even though still bleak, the early parts of the show was hopeful and optimistic. It fills me with naive hope to listen to this, especially after finishing the final episode.
It is that bad? I've only watched the brotherhood version, and i dont think that it can get darker than the "ed...ward" scene, Right!?
Watching both it’s not that much darker since they both have the same base elements. But 2003 portrays them a lot darker. For example, the homenculus in this have all been real people at some point, and they create a lot of painful conflict when people who knew who they were supposed to be meet them. Sloth for example is completely replaced by a homenculus in the likeness of Trisha Elric, their mother. She is sloth here, and instead of embodying lazy sloth she embodies ignorant sloth. The element of sloth that is not caring about anything at all, not even the people supposed to be her sons.
Without spoiling any more the entire deal with Shao and Nina Tucker... sure it has the same basis, but the first difference is that we spend a lot more time getting to know Nina before... all that. But what makes it so much darker is why happens after... sorry, I can’t spoil. But watch 2003 and you will get what I mean.
Sure it had several of the same base elements but 2003 expands on it a lot more.
I talk about JoJo a lot more because of my friends, but FMA will always be my favorite anime.
And by that I mean both versions of FMA are at the top.

caralho, amei essa música, acho que ouvi ela umas 7 vezes seguidas hoje, eu jogava sonic final fantasy também, mas não sabia de qual anime era a música, isso lá em 2012, dai nesse ano meu colega me recomendou fullmetal alchemist para assistir, aí eu ouvi a música da abertura e automaticamente dei um pulo de felicidade ao dever que minha busca tinha acabado, estou muito feliz de poder ouvir a música completa graças a esse vídeo :)

Foi exatamente assim comigo também!
tmb man musica boa
That guitar solo SLAPS
One of the best anime opening songs in the history of anime.
unironically my favorite OP in the show, criminally underrated.
Amazing song I was just crying and having a whole mental break down while listening to this song to comfort me
Really love this song. Keeps repeating on my mind
this song is an anthem
usually when I listen to a song to often it gradually becomes less enjoyable to hear. I don't know why but this song is the only exception. No matter how many times I listen to it's still as good as the first time.
3:08 Best part ❤
Yes man
" Kimi no te de kirisaite tooi hi no kioku wo" is the best part of the song
took forever to find this
Where did you experience this first? I came from Final Fantasy Sonic X5. Took me a decade to find it lmao.
final fantasy sonic
BRO YES
You are cultured too, I see
That is where I first heard of it, not Full Metal Alchemist lol
Finally people who understand
YESSSSSSSS
I fu..ng love this song dude!! is beatiful
You forgot the k
@@hellotheremistaorladits4459 And the c. But she did that on purpose.
I got back into fmab recently after a like 10 year span and I could’ve sworn the intro sounded off. Turned out I was watching FMAB and not FMA. I cannot explain in words how much nostalgia I got from hearing this
OH MY GOD THE NOSTALGIA!!! I know most people prefer Brotherhood, but I watched 2003 first, AND it was one of the first anime I watched period, so I have a really special place in my heart for it. I'm not denying that Brotherhood is objectively better, but it'll always be my second favorite anime behind the original. FMA 2003 is an absolute CLASSIC and it saddens me that so many people write it off just bc it "didn't follow the manga"
why do you think FMAB is "objectively" better?
Bruh I remember this from Sonic Final Fantasy and it’s making me cry because life was so easy back then. I could sit on my computer for hours and play games, now I have responsibilities
Eu procurei tantooooooooo finalmente eu achei nunca vou me esquecer dessa maravilha
Eu espero que essa música nunca seja esquecida
@@samukai_shark07 tbm espero
Although I prefer Brotherhood, I'm just so thankful we have two anime, two animated movies and a manga to enjoy of this beautiful series. (Fuck the live action tho)
Lol
ThErE is A liVE ActIoN
@@djfoster720 its on Netflix. It's alright, (the best live action anime movie I've every seen i'll give it that) (well the one for BLEACH was pretty good, but I've yet to watch the anime for it so I don't know how it compares) but there are are still some of the mistakes. Wriny's hair is WORNG! So is Mustangs. Ed's is okay, but the part of it that sticks up isn't their (and he's a bit too tall). Hughes and Hawkeye are right. Wrath is just plan WORNG. Envy's hair looks funcky in live action. They got Vic to do Ed's voice in the dup though. They got everyone from the English dup to do the dup for the movie in fact. (well the ones for the og anime, not Brotherhood)
Best opening ever used on an anime, when you listen to it, you can feel the alchemy inside you.
Note
I just started studying my Chemistry career at university just because I watched this anime ♥️💚💛
Greetings from México 🇲🇽✌️
One of the best anime song even after all these years I stan
Fma ‘03 didn't deserve to be abandoned
is really underrated i don't understand why people don't like it
the best
tru
I think both are on a similar level
the bass is better in melissa and the background singing is better in a cruel angels thesis
If you’re listening to this in March 2024, you are a true legend. ❤️
this is the first anime opening that i ever thought was special and never skiped
This song is capable of cheering me up immediately
It's amazing
this songs always makes me happy
l like thes opening so much ❤❤❤
Okay someone who didn't see FMA hasn't seen one of the best manga ever in all history seriously
Riela KOKORO you can't see manga or hear mangas theme song, I do believe you mean anime?
@@ME-ki7vq lot of people cant make the difference xD
Nostalgia hitting me like a truck right now. I remember in middle school back in the day, all I could think about was humming this song and wanting to go home and watch more FMA...those were the days.
