| I agree! It makes complete sense for a different interpretation of something to actually be different in some ways lol. The director seems very enthusiastic about the source material as well :) |
 I met the devil and god and couldn't tell them apart. |
| I agree, the new opening by Hiroyuki Sawano has me so hyped now! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VghhlTFL0Xw The visuals are amazing and I'm hoping this series gains traction! |

| That doesn't make much sense given that the OVA was very directly based off of the novels, there are few changes from the one to the other. The few changes made seem clearly to be refinments such as how "Westterland" was handled, the anime was clearly much better than the novel. |
| There are three kinds of intelligence: one kind understands things for itself, the other appreciates what others can understand, the third understands neither for itself nor through others. This first kind is excellent, the second good, and the third kind useless. |
| I think it is unavoidable that this anime will get compared to the original. The original was after all also based on the novels. So that means for newcomers like me, I'll be reading complaints bitching about this anime nonstop throughout its course. People always find something to complain about. |

The few changes made seem clearly to be refinments such as how "Westterland" was handled, the anime was clearly much better than the novel. Not quite, after reading the novels (the ones so far traslated) there are a few noticeable differences between those and the OVA. One example is my favourite character Dusty Attenborough gets more screen time than he really should. In the novel he really doesn't come into play until after the disastrous events at the end of the first novel. In the OVA he is shown to be the one talking to Yang about his rejected proposals and subsequently taking over as gunnery officer and navigation officer in the heat of the battle. In the book it's Lao/Rao (who later becomes Dusty's adjutant in the OVA) who is in that role. |

In the book it's Lao/Rao (who later becomes Dusty's adjutant in the OVA) who is in that role. Yes there are a few and that's one but I wouldn't say it's that important. The reason they do that I think is that you use him as someone to talk to to give Yang someone to talk to so he can explain things to the reader/viewer. As I wrote there are a few refinements in the anime OVA compared to the books. Making Dusty the talk to guy makes more sense than having a new guy Lao who just disappears after that scene. They join things up more i.e. refine them in the anime. I think it'd be a hell of a stretch to suggest this is a significant difference between the two though. |

| The novels are my main comparison point, and it still doesn't hold up well judging by episode one. It does in no way diminish the poor use of CGI, the lackluster character designs and lack of strategical focus. |

And Ed's and Roy'a face was drawn so fat compared to the original FMA. |
| HACKs! 🤢🤮 |
| FMA:B aired 10 years ago and didn't rely on CGI for 95% of what was shown on screen. The broader faces were never an issue for me, especially since it was close to the manga anyway. I still like the original FMA, and the way they wrote the anime original second half was actually pretty clever, but overall Brotherhood was the better adaptation, despite its rushed first ~7 episodes that covered the same ground of the first ~30 episodes of the original, minus filler content. Not sure what any of that has to do with this LotGH adaptation, however. |
| Ok, I won't not... |
| there's no real reason to compare it to any of them although it's fine if you do. by itself it's still mediocre |

It does in no way diminish the poor use of CGI, the lackluster character designs and lack of strategical focus. Literally the first episode, and already did better than the first episode of the OVAs as a "standalone" (since you are all sooo eager to comparr the quality as a whole having only this as a point of reference). They had more action and only shown one side. I would wait to see the other side in action to even claim such statements about the presentation. God, I wish this was a double lenght episode with both sodes, so people wouldn't be shitposting from day one about how did the anime not get every single thing in the first 20 minutes of content... |
