Fullmetal Alchemist
| It was interesting at the beginning, had some great mysteries and relations to be solved but it disappointed me a lot. More than half of characters I found childish and annoying or simply uninteresting. After 20 episodes I guessed correct about 90 percent what will happen next so I was often bored. In my opinion its way overrated and doesn't deserve to be in at least top 30. |
| I only kinda agree...in the sense that when I was watching it I liked it but wasn't into it...if you can get what I mean... |
 |
| Probably one of few. |
| Yes you are the only one on this site that has an opposite opinion about a popular and highly rated anime on this site. Any more questions? |

I would like to reinforce this post as much as humanly possible. I can also state for a fact that we never ever see nearly identical threads like this for pretty much every popular series. Never. |

| Fullmetal Alchemist is not over rated. Even me, who is usually the epitome of confrontational has to admit that Fullmetal Alchemist is awesome. |
| Once again people failed to see there is exist something called opinion. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| You should've watched the original. |
| You may not be the only one, but I definitely disagree with you. In my own ranking, it's my #1 favourite of all time. I already re-watched it 3 times but every time it was awesome. I won't re-watch it again of course because it will just get boring. But judging on my first time experience with FMA, it was simply the greatest anime in history. It was the first anime that got me so addicted. I remember when I watched I even tried a transmutation xD. I even looked some tutorials how to draw the transmutation circle (I was 14 back then). I can never say that a show that gave me so great memories is overrated, but rather underrated. |
| It's your loss for liking it less. |

| sucks to have your brain. |
| I'm glad I'm with the majority! |
| Am I the only one who thinks [your favorite anime] is overrated? If you think it's overrated, rate it what you believe it should be and be done with it. These threads really provides nothing in terms of possible discussion. |

| I was about to post something informative, But I lost the reason just by seeing 3 of your Favourite animu. |
| yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

I'm pretty sure ALL of his favorites are prime offenders of the whole "LOL DEEP" thing. Granted, the first half of Death Note WAS great. FMA: B's depth is not presented to you on a silver platter like say Elfen Lied. It's depth is subtle, and is something that you have to catch and then reflect on. It's depth also isn't pretentious or forced and it is not the plot itself that is deep. In truth I rolled my eyes a little at the ending, but I consider the whole thing a masterpiece because of the subtle way the characters change and the way the series makes you re-think the idea of the "7 deadly sins' being purely evil, among other great aspects of the series. |

| We could say the Exact same thing about Death Note. started off good but turned to shit before halfway. Lets not say how overrated that show is.... |
| Am i the only one who thinks Ecimir is overrated? Thumbs up if you agree! |
| I just dont seem to understand what so great in this show? Plot ? Has some depth but predictable with a lot of boring episodes Characters? huge cast of annoying characters Action? Ok, but seen much better Emotions? Very little and they are mostly joke Fun? Interesting at the beginning but later couldn't wait to finish watching I made this thread to see are there more people with similar thinking. Some mentioned Death Note, I admit last third wasn't good as the rest of the anime, you cant kill great characters if you cant create new at least that good . But you must admit it is one of the best. Detective style mind game with one of the most badass characters. It has a moral dilema. What marks Death Note is a fast developing unpredictable plot. I watched guessing always what will happen next and was rarely bored. It has a lot of memorable scenes , unlike FMA i can think of 1 or 2 at least. |
| Dude if you dont like it nobody is going to make you. Just keep in mind that there are a lot who disagree and not all does people are retarded. If you don't like it than so be it nobody is going to change your mind. |

Death Note fell flat on its fucking face when they decided to kill off the coolest character (and not the most annoying; Misa Misa) Then the show just became dull and completely ridicules, at least until the final episode which was pretty good. On top of that Light Yagami is a pretty generic anti hero, you never really get to know him which makes it hard to care what happens to him. I'd give Death Note an 8/10 at best This thread = 1/10 |

| @Candor : You know, whenever I see one of your post, I always read it in Rider's voice ... for some reason. OT; FMA:B is overrated? It doesn't deserve to be in the top 30? Nope. There is a reason why it managed to get an overall of over a 9 with over a 110,000 members voting for it (seriously, to manage to get even over an average of an 8.5 with denominator of over a 75,000 is admirable by itself). You can't just go and say it is undeserved when so many people voted for it to be great. Doing so is saying that you're the only person whose opinion counts. And you said it yourself, this is your opinion, which quite clearly is in the minority. If you wanted to find others, it would have been better searching for the hate club instead. |

Candor said: He was saying in his first post that he doesn't like it because it's childish and easy to predict. That LOL DEEP thing isn't neccasarily about depth but of someone thinking that a show is bad because of some flaws, when their favorite shows might have the similar problems or as much.IntroverTurtle said: That's my point.

| I'm halfway through but I can say that the canon part is much more well done in the older series. The new one overuses comedy and badly-drawn "funny" characters, overused the Ed jokes and it never actually delivered seeing how misplaced it is. A lot of serious moments lost their impact because of that. Also the major scenes in the series like the Nina/Alex, Hughes, etc..are horribly rushed it's sad. I guess this is a case where being unfaithful to the source is actually good. So the 2003 was amazing, but brotherhood is...good but not that impressive. So far 2 out of 3 homunculi shown the retarded "grow into an endgame big ugly monster when raging" syndrome which makes me think it'll become somewhat like DBZ or those action-focused stories. I'll finish it then tel you if it's really OR or not. |

| It's an 8 from me. I was thinking it may be a 9, but even though it's the best shonen I've seen, it's still a shonen. |

| I dislike this anime, but I don't consider it overrated. |
| I don't think it matters if you are in the minority or majority; there has never been a show that every single person has liked. FMA:Brotherhood is over-rated in the sense that people here give it a 10/10 its definitely no lower than a 8/10 but no where near perfection. Great show but its just that. I honestly didn't care for any of the characters. I did think the world was very interesting and the plot was fantastic. My main gripe was with the main character Ed. I really tried to like him but honestly I found him incredibly annoying all throughout the series. The only character I really liked was the Führer. Basically for me its a show that was fun to watch once but I will never re-watch it because it just doesn't jive with me. Maybe its the whole alchemy and magic theme or maybe its just because I hated Ed, thing is there's nothing that ever made me go "Oh man I can't wait to see the next episode". I rather re-watch all of Bleach then re-watch FMA:Brotherhood. I just didn't get the enjoyment factor that so many other people got when they watched it. |

| In a way, it is overrated. Manga fags give the original anime series shit for not being a faithful adaptation (for the most part, anyway) and praise the shit outta Brotherhood just for being faithful to the manga, even though the first few episodes were clearly rushed. |
