If FMAB were separated into seasons what would you think it’s rating on MAL gonna be for each?

For example;

1st season ep1-26 (First 2 cour)
2nd seasom ep27-50 (next 2 cour)
3rd season ep51-64 (last cour)

Just wondering if anybody thinks its 10/10 all the way from the start. This is because I heard somewhere that FMAB got that high rating only because it has many episodes compared to its competitors who had to divide its rating between seasons.

I think it was mentioned in an Attack on Titan Season 3 Part 2 thread ("To all the people that think this doesn't deserve top spot" was the title of the thread)
I don't know, I am only at episode 8 of FMAB but I don't think is the best anime I have ever seen (please don't kill me, it's just an opinion since I am still watching), but people told me it gets better so I can't say

I definitely think the 1st part would be much lower rated, that's usually the part a lot of people say is pretty boring. Final part though I can see it being even higher rated than it currently is since it's basically SnK S3 P2, except with a proper ending and not prepping for another season

I know people are going to argue it but for me each and every single part of this show is a 10/10. It's still the best anime I've ever watched and my list of anime is pretty extensive even if I do say so myself.

For me also, the early 1-20 episodes are not quite as good as the later episodes but they are still good and there are lots of highlights in that period that deserves 10/10. But as they approach 25-26 it peaked to 10/10 and stayed at that level to the end. Last 14 episodes is the most epic moment I ever seen in anime.

In my opinion each part deserves 10/10 but what you said about it being this highly rated because it is just one season is wrong because if you look at most anime usually only people who liked it will stay for the later seasons so the score gets higher because less people give lower scores while with long shows the lower scores given from people who didn’t like it are for the whole show

First 2 cour - 6/10 or 7/10
Next 2 cour - 8/10 or 9/10
Last cour - 10/10

I think overall it deserves my 9/10, but yeah, it ain't a masterpiece from the start. Also, this type of rating would made me give a really lower rating to some arcs of HxH

I know this is just theoretical, but this would be extremely stupid, considering FMAB is treated as this giant story that has a huge finish where everything is tied together very nicely, i cant see you separating any part of fma at all

Dude, so you have SnK 1 and SnK 2 both 10 rated but somehow so disappointed in SnK 3P2 to rate it with 1? Don't you find it looks kinda... well... weird?

FMAB is great show but its' fanboys are just worst

yep. It is weird because watching s3p2 before season 3 part 1 and straight up rating snks3p2 a 1. It is most likely a down voting.
Should I troll in the troll bait threads? It is kinda idiotic to be logical in the troll bait threads. Well, it will depend on my mood.

I just noticed that too. What makes if even more funny is that fact that he has Attack On Titan in his "Animes I gave a 9-10" section. Really disappointing to see this amount of toxicity from this community, simply because their favourite anime was dethroned from the top spot due to a glitch.

Nah. The worst fanboys to me definitely goes to HxH. Last time I rated the show low because i don’t like it even after watching nearly half the episodes. Its not even a day passed, my account got flooded by comments and messages by the fanboys asking me why i rate it that way. I tried to give them answers then I realised they will never accept what ever answer I gave them. They just kept on asking which episodes is this?, which episode is that?. Then I just gave up replying to them.

Even if you go to r/anime or youtube comments about anime video, it is literally full of the fanboys telling HxH is the best anime evar...! and everybody should watch it.

For part 2 and 3, I would give a 10 out of 10. Not sure on part one though. The first 13 episodes were really rushed, and I honestly think the very first episode was confusing to new viewers. But, at the same time, it was probable that they did this, considering they already went through all that stuff in the 2003 series. It was only a 5 year gap til the remake, so it also makes sense for them to do an anime only "welcome back" episode, although I personally think that was a bad decision. So with that in mind, I'd say part 1 would be a solid 8.

If u really want to divide like this than the last 1-2 cour would be 9.3+ easily!!

Amd yeah the ending really influences the score. A crap ending to a brilliant show is off putting, while a brilliant ending to a mediocre show can propel it to 8.5 something (from 8 something). Take steins gate as example, last 5-6 eps propelled rating from 7.9 to 9.1

I actually think all the scores would be lower.
Really, FMAB is nothing that amazing, but what makes it what it is, is how consistent it managed to be, as a whole. Seperately, I would rate each part 8, but together they're a 9 to me, somehow

Since I've not watched the complete show, basing my judgement on the first 5,6 episodes, I'll give it 7, which is the lowest I've ever given to an anime. I didn't find it confusing, just boring. The only thing I found confusing is how it manged to get top spot. But I guess the ratings are not based considering the initial episodes. I think a day will come when I'll complete the show, but I guess I'm going to be disappointed since I expect a lot from a show at the top, and the initial episodes are something I'd call, disappointment. It might be an amazing show as a whole, but I'm just afraid to pick it up.

The last Shonen anime I watched after being recommended to me was MHA, and it really disappointed me.

m I think that if thet separated Fullmetal it would take more time but it will be a good idea to remake Fullmetal maybe in 10 years but it most ikely wouldn't be as good as the first one because is a masterpice and if they seperat full metal into 3 seasons I think the first season will get a 7.8 and the sacond will get a 8.4 but the last season will get a 9.3 because the last day arec was soo good Fullmetal gets better by time and its a masterpiece

Why would it be separated? It aired continously week after week (with exceptions of X-Mas breaks).

Knowing FMAs fanbase they would probably push all 3 seasons to be no1 and only allow the next season to overtake the previous one.

Personally
s1 - 6/10
s2- 8/10
s3 - 7/10

1st season ep1-26 (First 2 cour) : 6/10

For me the start of the series was pretty bad thanks to the ton of crap jokes and terrible comedy that destroyed most serious scenes and weren't even that fun. How many serious scenes were destroyed because of a joke about Ed being short or confusing him with Al for the Fullmetal title ? It was a good thing it became far less and more controlled as the series went on.

2nd seasom ep27-50 (next 2 cour) : 10/10 Best period of the series

3rd season ep51-64 (last cour) : 9/10 great ending to the series and the promising day delivered a lot though I felt the final battle with the father had some big bullshit thrown into it, but all was forgiven when Al sacrificed himself for Ed to regain his arm and all that happened after it.

Overall FMAB is a top notch series but tbh it doesn't deserve a full 10, at all, at least should lose a point due to the bad comedy at the start which destroyed many good scenes. I feel 9/10 is perfect for it. It wasn't without its flaws, but still a top tier Shounen.

I didn't like the end too much in comparison to the rest of the series, the last few episodes, so maybe 10/10, 10/10, 9/10

This can be said for most anime, including attack on titan. fmab was just lucky to not have its manga ongoing during this time as it would get the same seasonal treatment life every other anime is getting that is still ongoing.

To be honest, the strongest point of FMAB was the last 23 episodes for me. If it were separated into three seasons or something, I think the charm of FMAB would only be less impactful compared to how it is as just one show/series. Having different seasons would mean changes in the studio, narrative focus, and sometimes even much more than that. If FMAB followed the recent anime format, FMAB, in my opinion, would be a lot more because it wouldn't have been able to maintain the consistent quality and execution that it's known for. Also, I don't think the plot would have built up as brilliantly as it did were it for the consistency of the series.

Definitely true though, how the last part of FMAB basically carries the honestly okay/good first part to the top. The second part was very good for me tho. So basically:

1st season: 7/10
2nd season: 7.8/10
3rd season: 9.4/10

But if I think if IT WAS RELEASED in the recent anime format, considering the consequences that doing so might, it'll be more like:

1st season: 7/10
2nd season: 7.3/10
3rd season: 8.9/10

For me atleast.
