I don't feel like I need to watch the rest of the FMA anime to reply to such a simple question. Oh, I couldn't make such a bold claim after only watching half an anime but maybe that's just me. |
RedRoseFring said: So....you don't like the shounen elements in FMA, but you like them in HxH? And the part with the little girl and her pet were among the first 10 episodes of the series. No. What I meant is, I think the specific story of FMA is unfitting for this genre. She appeared in episode 15 and I am pretty sure she stayed around for quite a while in order for me to notice :p |

Because FMA encompasses a lot of different genres. If so, then HxH would kind of fall under the same category, as many don't think it fits its demographic either. |

I just think it would be better off as a seinen series. Regarding HxH, I found the first arcs kind of cheerful and it seemed like it targeted the wrong age group, but it got better later on imo. |
| Like I've read above, my opinion is that FMA could be way better if it had a more dramatic atmosphere, seriousness and depth, as well as avoid the shounen mood while fighting. I wasn't talking about its age group target.. About HxH, we'll see if there's still a difference since a new arc, probably as big as CA is being prepared. |

Funny enough, those things you said it didn't have are usually what it gets praised for. That applies more to FMA 2003 than Brotherhood though. |

danae17 said: Seinen is only a demographic tag, only the target age and gender group, it has no other real definition. Say dramatic atmosphere, depth, etc instead because there are many seinen stories that don't have that at all so it doesn't help at all.Like I've read above, my opinion is that FMA could be way better if it had a more dramatic atmosphere, seriousness and depth, as well as avoid the shounen mood while fighting.

Where did I actually say that? It seemed like in the first arcs there was a different age group target whereas later on it seemed like it targeted an older age group. And in my opinion, the latter arcs were way better. The post was about a different matter in the first place, not its quality. |

I just hate those people who were like "Oh this looks childish/This is childish" then after that when it gets more serious and bloody they are like "Oh this is awesome, I thought it was kiddy crap". As if kids show can't be good, only "deep" or "mature", or apparently it's called "seinen" (lmao when people tried to categorize HxH as seinen disguised as shounen) show can. |

I agree, action-freaks can be pretty annoying..The reason why I personally like the latter arcs more than the first ones is because you get to know the characters better and they undergo significant character development (Killua for example). The new characters who are introduced are pretty interesting too. Yeah this notion about HxH being diguised as shounen is ridiculous. |

I wasn't talking about its age group target.. About HxH, we'll see if there's still a difference since a new arc, probably as big as CA is being prepared. If you're not talking about what age group it targets don't say shonen or seinen, because that's exactly what they are. I thought FMA handled most of that well - what it really needed to cut back on was some bad humor, which isn't linked to being a shonen or seinen. Yeah I know Turtle pointed out my mistake too. I have found some similar features in some series that fall under the same category and thought that these definitions include these features too, that's why I was mistaken.. |
| They all have their flaws. HxH dragged on at times, FMA:B had a very rushed start and FMA had strong feels but the ending sucked and the world wasn't as good as FMA:B. Personally I feel FMA:B = HxH > FMA |

Personally I feel FMA:B = HxH > FMA The middle third of FMA was almost as dragged as Punk Hazard. Really bad pacing. Not even sure if that deserved a story in the first place, though. I've said it before, FMAB is the best "generic shonen" but can't compare with things like the original, or HxH. |
