interesting way to start off the show, animation looks great. though i don't know if i like that it just starts in the middle and then goes into a flashback

I love this anime, it's the 4th time I've watched it, every time I watch the first episode I get a feeling of nostalgia that I don't know how to explain. I think perfect is the best definition

Got some basic info about the main character's backstory, but the fighting was dull and there was nothing really interesting about the episode.

Haven't watched the original FMA so I know nothing about this but the first episode was pretty exciting, I liked it! There are a lot of questions as well as information from just one episode but I'll be patient as it looks like it's going to be an awesome 64 episodes of adventure

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood kicks off with a gripping start that promises an exciting journey ahead. The episode introduces us to a world where alchemy is a powerful and influential science. We're quickly immersed in a plot involving military intrigue and mysterious alchemists.

The episode sets up its main characters well, particularly Colonel Roy Mustang and the Elric brothers, Edward and Alphonse. Edward's character is engaging right from the start, balancing moments of humor with hints of deeper struggles. Alphonse, while initially shrouded in mystery due to his unique condition, also draws interest.

The action is well-paced, and the stakes are immediately high, with a rogue alchemist causing havoc and the military scrambling to contain the situation. The show blends intense scenes with lighter, character-driven moments, such as the interactions with Maes Hughes and his family, which provide a nice contrast.

Visually, the episode is impressive, with dynamic action sequences and a detailed setting that enhances the story's atmosphere. The alchemical battles are particularly striking and set the tone for the kind of inventive action fans can expect.

Overall, the first episode of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is a strong introduction that establishes the main characters, the stakes of their mission, and the intriguing world they inhabit. If you’re looking for a blend of action, mystery, and rich character development, this show is off to a fantastic start.
