I love how Edward transmutes the weapon out of the pavement :D And it's such a cool looking spear, too!

Edward- I'M NOT LITTLE! DON'T CALL ME MIDGET! OR SHORTY! OR SHRIMP!

Public- We didn't say any of that!

Pretty good first chapter I guess. Decided to read down the list of top manga on MAL so got to this series. Problem is I have seen random episodes of FMA / FMA:B but gonna start from the beginning.

I already watched the two anime series (one was great, the other was awesome!) and now I decided that I'll read the manga. Even though it's the same is Brotherhood, I don't mind to relive the experience again! This opening chapter is awesome, of course.

5/5

Much prefer the Anime as of now, but let us see if the manga can grow on me.

Mayne, re-reading this brings me back to the first time I read it when I was a library aide. This manga is a gold mine 'cause I had no idea at the time this is what would spark my love for anime/manga lol

watched brotherhood before this.

i really like how it starts, has a lot of humor yet still feels really intense in how it deals with it's themes.

Interesting to see how the human transmutation scene is just one page in this chapter while both anime adaptations extended on it. Also wasn't expecting Rose to hide in Al's armor... XD

The humor is also way funnier when reading the manga. Loved the scene when Ed is chasing the townsfolk after they confuse him with Al.

I have a weird relationship with this manga. I began reading it several years ago, but stopped after a few volumes. Three years ago I bought the entire series and started again reaching Volume 11 and dropped it because I didn’t liked it that much. Please don’t throw stones at me.
Since this manga is one of the most popular ever and has a stellar rating, there has to be something wrong with me, but maybe I just didn’t paid enough attention while reading it and never reached the end to give it a fair evaluation.
So I’m gonna start it all over again, and wont let distract myself with other readings, giving it the right attention it probably deserves and hopefully change my mind.

Not like the first episode of Brotherhood but it was beautiful as it introduced us to our main characters
