1. Story = 8.5
1.1 Main Story (10) = 8
Protagonist finds a way to undo his pact with a god. (about his body and his brother body) This adventure turn upside down by military act of their country and the reason behind that. With 64 eps and with this kind of story. It's too much -1 for that. It does not engage me all the time. Some of the episode will make you yawn because it does not cut to the chase.
However, around the end, things will get more intense. Most questions from the beginning of the story will be answer and what I'm really
...
looking for is all there. So it's worth the watch.
1.2 Characters/Progression (10) = 9
This show does a pretty great job in progression of the body. At the start of the show, the protagonists will look like a child but in later episode. They will all grown up. Also, all the characters have their past which will project in the story quite well. At least most are share same experience in Ishwa civil war. This make every characters deep and had their motive.
and most surprisingly is an awesome performance of homunculus in this show. They play a vital row around the end of the show. Their emotion and motive behind them is breathtaking. Their existence or meaning of life is well-design.
2. Art = 7.5
2.1 Character Design (5) = 3.5
Simple design and easy to remember yet unique in its own way. Also, suit with the setting of the world as well.
2.2 Background (3) = 2
I understand that its old but I can't give point more than this.
2.3 Animation (10) = 8
For its age to be ten years ago, It has a very well-done animation. All the action that perform in story really match with anime nowsaday.
3. Sound = 7.5
3.1 Voice/Dialogue (5) = 5
All voice actors are expressed characters emotion into their voice very well. For example, you may not see face expression of
Alphonse because he is an armor that walk around but you can feel how he was by the voice that he talks. I really like this. They nailed it.
3.2 OP/ED (5) = 2.5
OP that good (2 out of 5) = "again", "Rain (レイン)" by SID
ED that good (4 out of 7) = "Uso (嘘)", "LET IT OUT", "Shunkan Sentimental (瞬間センチメンタル)", "Rain (レイン)" by SID
3.3 OST (3) = 1.5
I only remembered the Main Theme. I don't recall any catching ost than this. So I give this half the full.
3.4 Special Effects (3) = 3
The sound of alchemist using is immersive. To create sound that no one hear before and feel like it's real is perfect for me.
4. Settings = 8.7
4.1 Feeling with Genre/Enjoyment (10) = 7.5
I count this as Action-Fantasy then. It suit its genre pretty well. The action pretty short but they made it with care.
I can say that this is masterpiece if it cut some unimportant things out from the story. Unrelated part make story too long and boring and I see a lot of this in early episode but in latter it's very lit!
4.2 World Design (5) = 5
Great job with world design. After you pregress through the story, you will realize that there are more than two nations in north, east west and south. This intrigue me to look for more in the world of FMAB.
