| 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. |

| 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. |

| It was good, but not as good as some people think it is, in my opinion. The plot was nice, but the characters didn't stand out enough. |
| I don't think it's overrated, I just think you went in with your expectations too high. In my opinion, the original FMA anime was at least a 9/10 with the only thing I didn't like about it being the ending. Brotherhood is definitely better than the original, not only because it stuck to the story better but also because it can be taken more seriously. If you'd seen it before you heard anything about it you'd probably give it a 10/10 |
| obv not. but im glad im not you. original was over rated.. |
 |
| To me it's a masterpiece, the closest thing to perfection an anime can achieve. |
| I honestly think the 2003 version is better in both its plot and characters (and music!) |
| If you think this show is overrated don't blame it on the one's who actually got good taste. If you did not like it there i something wrong with you and not the 64320 people who gave it a 10. |
 .. |
| To me the show is absolutely amazing. It's even in my top 5. |

SolBlade said: To me the show is absolutely amazing. It's even in my top 5. This. How can you deny this show? Seriously.... |
| Although I agree with Brotherhood being an amazing anime yes I think it's kind of over-rated in MAL being in top 1 lol. |

| Meh, people mistake the word "overrated" with "bad". If it's rated 10 by many while I rate it a 9 or 8, then I would think that the show is overrated. In fact, it would be normal for all who rated FMA:B less than 10 or 9 to think that FMA:B is overrated. It's just that most of these people wouldn't really bother to talk about their complaints. OP didn't bash those who liked it, so the level of hostility is beyond me. People need to learn to respect opinions. SMH |

You don't make a thread basically bashing an anime, in the anime's board where the fans hang out and expect a warm welcome. They might possibly, but that's not likely to happen when the OP doesn't provide much to talk about. He just stated his opinions about how he felt it was predictable and the characters were annoying without providing anything from the show to back it up. It looked like a rant, rants get no one anywhere. OPs can be asses too. |

| Well, I'm not the OP so I wouldn't know what he intends to incite, but it's my self-policy to answer questions with poise and tact regardless of the asker's intents. Regardless, we ought to stop being too off-topic so this ends here. BTW, I do agree that FMA:B is overrated. I think (and have rated as such) that it's around somewhere between 8 and 9. No problems with the plot whatsoever; it's just that none of the battle scenes made my heart race like crazy. I blame it on the lack of novelty on the jutsu aspect i.e. most of them simply manipulate terrain; the lack of a unique "hissatsu waza" for each character made the visuals of the battles somewhat less enjoyable for me (speaking of novel, Roy's fire is; he's cool. And Envy's monster form is atrocious; that's a compliment btw). All I can say is that it ended on a satisfying note, but didn't leave me hyped or anything. I don't consider it a masterpiece because of that. Before you bash me for being subjective, I say that there is no such thing as a totally objective review for an artform (anime). Different animes appeal to different aspects of the human mind (reason, emotion etc.) and whatever appeals to a person better gets a higher rating. |
