Fullmetal Alchemist
| I think Father is a good antagonist. It's just he's not as good as other antagonists. Wrath, for example, is far cooler as a character and as a villain. I think the worst flaw is that something the comedy is out of context, but everything has flaws, so that doesn't make the show really worse. |
| Regarding Father, he literally removed his human emotions in a pursuit to become a perfect being, while failing to understand that's what made him who he is. He wanted to become greater than humanity but his entire existence stems from that; he lost because he indirectly rejected his own identity, meanwhile you have Ed who didn't abandon his humanity and is able to achieve his goal because he realised he is first and foremost a human. The other homculi are better villains, yes but Father is great antagonist when you consider what the themes of the story are. |
| "*Simply* because he was overconfident",Objectivity isnt always good,he was still fun and gave the final boss vibes,although was finale was a but anticlimactic,it was one hell of a ride all the way through(Dio also lost cause he was overconfident). The biggest flaw i noticed was with the careless handling of our protagonist's motivations. |

MAXproARYAN said: Dont get me wrong ,its a really great show with one of the better stories out there but imo its still far from a masterpiece. One of the most imp things about a shounen anime is its Main villain and father was a terrible villain who lost simply because he was overconfident . Edward had nothing to do with stopping father. Besides it , the comedy was underwhelmingly bad and the protagonists are meh. Its just my opinion but i wouldn't call it a masterpiece with all these flaws one major Problem too is the plotarmour in the later episodes... this one lion chimera dude should have died several times... |
| These are not objective flaws but rather your own subjective opinions. 1. Yes, Father was boring or rather he was supposed to be. By relieving himself of all of his sins and aiming to surpass God, he became bland in the process. This pretty much makes sense for him as a character who orders around far more interesting characters. 2. Saying that Father lost simply because of his overconfidence is completely false. Yes, he was overconfident but still in the end everything went according to his plan and countrywide transmutation was a huge success. The only thing he overlooked was the existence of Hohenheim. You could argue that he should've killed Hohenheim on the spot after the success of his plan, but Hohenheim had already set the Umbral circle to activate even if something were to happen to him. 3. I would consider Edward having nothing to do with the defeat of Father to be a plus point, since it allowed side characters who were far more responsible for Father's defeat like Hohenheim, Scar, Scar's brother etc to shine and makes us feel Edward to be a part of the show rather than being it's stars. Sometimes we forget that the main aim of this story was never about defeating Father, but for Ed and Al to get their bodies back. 4. Comedy is a highly subjective aspect. Still the jokes were are not that consistent to affect the overall enjoyment for me. 5. Edward is a great protagonist so I'll simply say you're wrong. |

| Arakawa has that habit of putting little jokes even in serious scenes. That's not a big problem in the manga, she can make those jokes occupy a small space in the page or panel of the manga, indicating to the readers that it's something of little importance. But in animation it HAS to occupy the screen, even if for just a couple seconds. So it ends up interrupting the flow of the scene and being kinda annoying. |

flaws, he says! the audacity! just look at this beautiful masterpiss  |
| Am I a good person? No. But do I try to be better every single day? Also no |
Dear god, you have absolutely no idea how much I cringed with those fucking, cringy moments. FMAB has one of the worst comedies I've seen, seriously, the comedy in this anime is simply garbage. I know that comedy is subjective, but these types of comedy are aimed at 10-year-old kids. If anyone actually laughed at that shit comedy then good for you I guess. |
cl0s3tweeb said: yeah, indeed it had ending. it definitely is one of the shows ever made!It had a competent ending, which many series fail to do. |

| -Excesive and unfunny comedy overused even at important and serious moments. The comedy was dogshit practically. -Most of the villains were basic and uninteresting. The best was by far Bradley. -The show was too soft for a show that is based in characters that are in a Special Military Police Force with them even trying to do a coup d'etat, you just couldnt feel the suspense or the danger in this show, you always knew how the outcome will be. -The resolution that Ed does at the end could be seem arguably as an asspull, he could have done that by the 1st chapter of the show having he realized he was able to do it. The show was indeed flawed but Kaguya being the #1 now isnt too much of a improve if I am being honest. |
An overconfident villain. That... literally describes almost every single anime villain in general. What kind of complaint is that? Next you'll complain about other overused anime tropes lol. |
