For me it’s has to be “To Your Eternity” Yo me it’s just a really good anime and they story and ideals in it makes it so unique from other animes I’ve ever watched.
Maybe more parts of the Fate series? Like Fate Grand Order Babylonia, Fate Heaven's Feel, Unlimited Blade Works etc It would be really nice to see more fate lore bits ❤
Violet Evergarden it's simply a masterpice that, in my opinion, never got the fame it deserved you should totally watch it if you havent and i just know that a video made by you on this anime would just be perfect
FMA is no easy story to cover, certain things/chars being left out, but overall you did a wonderful job of capturing Arakawa's masterpiece. From the OG version I grew up w/ on Adult Swim (much darker, more character development) to reading the lighthearted, often funny, but at the same time a wave of emotions/plot in comparison. I'm glad it has remained a fan favorite for so long because it f'ing deserves it. Very rewatchable dub or sub (prefer the Dub on this one, RIP Vic) but in the end I would have liked one thing in Brotherhood - Ed's final words as he boards the train "There's no such thing as a painless lesson, they just don't exist. Sacrifices are necessary, you can't gain anything w/o losing something first. Although, if you can endure that pain and walk away from it - You'll find that you have a heart strong enough to overcome any obstacle; Yeah, a Heart made Full Metal!! 😢
i miss the time of mind bending stories like this eva are my two favourite anime for their incredable stories filled the layers and the internal struggles the charaters must face
@7angels844 Agreed. They don't make em' like they use to, mostly thanks to oversaturation of Isekai or simple Rom Coms, but rare Gems do pop up here and there. This season all I really care about is Re:Zero S3 sadly, maybe Dandadan one. Least it lets me touch grass! 😂
@@Sylenced1 Sure they do. Unlike in the past - we have less control by gate keepers, and this is a double edged sword. On one hand - The big publishers have to be more risk adverse as the low production value content they would once fill in their time with no longer is profitable to them, do to the fact that the likes of RUclips exists. Music Publishers make piles of money charging for recording - where back in the day, they would do the work to find the top content producers and facilitate them, and now - with affordable development tools at home (we are talking 2-4k to set up a decent enough recording set up at home): Big recording studio's have competition - they can't rely on people wanting to pay for studio time, when a few sessions cost is what it would take to set up at home. For Manga - the digital publishing tools are so much better. Same goes for all written work. For video games - Indie is more and more where it's at with the way big publishers seek profit returns over producing good content understanding that they will make money. And this brings us to a reality: Just about every publicly traded company has been captured by the economist model of profit maximization instead of producing good content, that results in big profits. And all we have to do is look at EA, Boeing, and Intel as three prime examples. Sure, they all make money - but they are making money basically off of existing momentum, not off of a quality engaging product driving sales and interest: And that, is a very risky place to be. To break down the numbers - something like 10% of creators are responsible for 90% of the top content. But we can break this down further as those top creators are self filtering out their worst ideas/bad content that they want to review, scrap, or just leave to stew for awhile. When we look at the vast majority of content - it's bad, repetitive, low value. In a world where niche creators can find a global audience - that, is going to be a problem. If you are a writer - patreon and more can let you find that audience, and let them support you. After all: 2-3$ a month, from 2000+ people is a living. If you have idea's for a work - you can pay for art to be created for affordable rates reaching out through online platforms, or even from that community. Self publishing in this way is accessible. The thing is - it's more work, and effort, and maybe you just don't want to bother with the hasstle yet. We don't have a situation where "they don't make it like they used to". We have a situation of "They don't publish like they used to" - It is more effort to find solid, reliable content. The flip side is: It's easier to find niche content.

I just got done watching the full series all over again and now I can’t wait to here Sock Sensei’s interpretation of it all! A truly 11/10 anime deserves an 11/10 overview 🎉
@@nogass5381He's probably a patrion (or whatever it's called) member of the channel. You can basically pay to get perks exclusively linked to this channel.
This summary was really well done and I enjoyed every second of it. However, for the few people that are using this video to decide if they should watch the anime, I would advise them not to make a decision based on the first few minutes of this video. While it is logical to begin where Sock started, you don't actually find out about that jerk in the bottle until later on. There is a significant amount of character building and tone setting that takes place before the Hohenheim reveal. FMA does a really good job of hiding the fact that Father and Hohenheim are 2 different people. That flashback brings everything together and doesn’t have the same effect when told out of sequence.
No fancy battle and no superpowers is just some actual absolute bullshit bro did u actually watch the show????? If u only watched this video it’s on the story that’s why not much action is shown, but don’t leave a comment like this misleading others.
One of the best feelings is finding a new RUclipsr with great editing and loooong videos. So excited to watch more already have a few in my watch later. Hell yea brother
Told myself I was going to bed early tonight.. 5 minutes in and I already knew I was going to watch the whole thing. Definitely worth it too! Well done, this deserves way more views!
I have no idea how you have managed to do it, but your videos have such a unique and intesnse feeling associated to them. Somewhere, your tone of voice, the cadenece at which you choose to speak, and the music that is used, all commicates the severity of these stories. You make good shit and I appreciate all the work you put into these documentaries.
You're one of the few real RUclipsrs i even see on here. I feel like RUclips is nothing but trends and A.I. Almost all major channels all talk about the same things at the same time. It's so boring. You bring really well done breakdowns of Anime and you really talk. I like all the lil imperfections of the human voice.
You know what I hate about FMA. Because the 2 anime are so similar, yet so different it's made it so I can't remember what parts go with which story. There are characters and story beats that I thought were part of the cannon story but maybe they were really just from the first anime. It's even worse because I saw them at the same time. I watched the original anime, then immediately started episode 1 of Brotherhood and watched that so it's all just a jumble in my mind.
It's kind of what I like about it too. Combined points makes it more enjoyable to me. Create your own canon between the two or enjoy them separately. All enjoyable and great
Here’s how you remember and keep them separate in your mind. If it’s a great bit of storytelling, and animation, it’s the far superior FMA Brotherhood. If it hurts your brain to think about it’s that other piece of crap and you should do your best to delete it from memory.
@@noirspiderman44 Only one of them is canon the other is literally fan fiction. Its like sayin Take what u want out of Dragonball / Z and Gt, its good but its fake ez as that. Not sayin its bad its just fake.
I'm grateful I live in a world where I got to read and see this story, it was honestly so good and seeing it explained just goes to show how perfectly this show juggles nuance with simplicity without coming off as full of itself, all with just enough humor to make it such a broad hit. Perfectly deserving of its Number 1 status for so long.
Interesting aspect that's been left out: the social ties of the brothers. They go here, they go there, fight this and that. But without the social bonds their actions could have gone in a completely different direction.
this is a fantastic love letter to one of my favorites stories, you really did justice to the tone and gravity of the series, thank you for reminding me of this timeless gem
I think this series' (deserved) high regard comes from large, complex topics explored in a very human way. Mortality, Sacrifice, Duty, are themes readily explorable to almost every human. By spelling out the alchemical rules very plainly, and then building the world around it, I think it becomes very accessible as a fantasy setting.
i have watched FMAB several times but these essays are always a joy to listen to. Great job on you hard work. You also have a GREAT voice for narration.
Hey Sensei would love to hear an overview of attack on titan. That show kept me guessing for a good while on what the true plot was and I really enjoyed the story telling. Idk just a thought. Thanks again for a banger of a overview.
This is such a week explained but more importantly paced video. You've done such a great job at pronunciating so well. Definitely saved and downloaded. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Being honest, i think i would love to see a vídeo about jojo. I am a big fan and would be great to see someone talking about the story and philosophy behind
I Love this Series so much, great Science Fiction and Human Condition. My favorite parts are the Chimera Arch and Mustand & Lust dating before he Burns Her to a Crisp.
Ok man you get the like and sub. I’ve watched this show what feels like thousands of times but after watching this of course I had to go back and watch again
Another killer video, senpai. You took a anime that most of us probably seen many times and somehow made it riveting to hear you tell it. My only nitpick is that you entirely omitted the pivotal "Grandma making stew" arc.
Such a beautiful anime. So much we can all relate too. Wanting something back so bad we will do anything for it. One of the best anime’s that has ever been made I say top 5 for sure .
FMA has and will always be my suggestion for getting into anime. Wanna laugh, cry, feel, and have an existential crisis along with a bunch of fun characters? FMA
Initially the video gives the impression that he is talking about FMA, but then it's clarified that he is talking about FMAB. Little bit of an oops, but I feel like most people watching this have seen the show, and immediately recognize the clips used are from FMAB.
To imagine such a genuine act of love was such an abomination to the powers that be that two young boys were punished so just trying to bring back the one who loved them... FMA WILL live forever with me a truly incredible tale full of heartwrenching moments
Hughes was my favorite character too :'( such a fantastic series, my favorite anime of all time. My first big tattoo was the flamel that ed has on his cloak.
One of the first anime I ever seen break the remote spamming next episode haha excited for this would love a video on legend of galactic heroes in the future! Gonna watch this before bed tonight
I love Brotherhood, really, but I feel like it constantly overshadows the 2003 version of the series. I need more content talking about that, because the approach taken towards that story is one that stands alone.
I understood evangelion on my first watch and I understood this anime on my first watch, and now I’m starting to question if I’m really smart or if I have a mental problem
I really thought the ending should have been Ed staying with Winry. Honestly because of Ed’s sacrifice of his alchemy more or less showing his desire of leaving that life and making a new one with his brother back as he should be. I just dont see why he’d leave Winry after all that.

Ninas' story foked me up as teen. Scar doing the right thing made me like the character more throughout the show.
TRUTH- I've never hated a person more than Tucker. His own wife and child...
Fullmetal Alchemist... FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST...
watching on cable tv can relate
love when anime shows their artist with ad break art work lol
After sad scene: FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST...
Fullmetal Alchemist....
The show ultimately ending with a call back to Nina is fucking gut wrenching and beautiful
