Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood Box Set 1 Blu-ray

This is a fun, straightforward magna series with an interesting storyline and well-developed characters interwoven throughout the series. This plus its companion box set represents the entire complete series for those seeking to determine which option to purchase. The items came on time and without any condition or shipment issues. I highly recommend this vendor for this buy.

I had viewed the original Fullmetal Alchemist TV series a few years ago, and had taken up reading the manga since then. Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood is a retelling, much closer to the manga's version of the story. The first 14-15 episodes are almost identical to the original TV series, to the point where I was wondering if they didn't just edit the old film. The script was almost identical, as was the backgrounds and character designs. But then the plot splits off, and becomes something completely unlike the old show. If you have seen the original TV series, Brotherhood is definitely still worth watching.Most of the Japanese voice actors have taken on their roles again, which was a plus for me. They are a big part of the reason I wanted to see the series subtitled rather than dubbed. As far as I could tell, the quality of the translation was good, and I had no problem following along reading at a comfortable pace with the voices.As of the time of this review, only the first half of the series is available Subtitled Instantly, so hopefully Amazon will offer the second half soon!Note: for some reason the dubbed version of season 1 includes more episodes, and I have no idea why. The DVD set for season 1 has the same number of episodes as this subtitled instant view. Hopefully that is just a sign that Amazon is slowly rolling out the second season.

I've been putting off watching this, since I've seen the original Fullmetal Alchemist series several times years ago. I felt it was just going to be a basic remake and more of the same, but after seeing the first half of the series, I can definitely say that Brotherhood is way better and definitely worth checking out. It starts off pretty much like the original FMA series, but as it progresses it gets a lot more interesting.

Dope box.

Good collection but overpriced.

Elric brothers are awesome! This whole series is phenomenal and one of the best Anime every released. I would recommend this to any Japanese Anime fan!
