Probably one of the most phenominal animes that can last for 64 episodes and still be good. Fullmetal alchemist Brotherhood (FMA:BH for short) is supposed to be a remake of the orginal anime, following stricly by the manga. Its a good take, and the show was great, it appealed to newcomers and those who watched the old FMA. This is seriously one hell of a badass show, 64 episodes is probably the deciding factor.

Okay..lots of openings here. 1st opening is again by YUI, who sang rolling star for bleach. Its a great song,not doubt about it, one of the better out of the 5. After that is hologram, another awesome song, probably the best opening here. The 3rd opening is golden time lover, its kind of an old school kinda song, not really my style. The 4th opening is period by chemistry, whom should be quite well known in the anime industry for singing gundam songs. Its a pretty solid song, but could be better. Finally the last opening is rain by SID. Rain is a pretty moody song, and is great as it fits as the final opening of the show.

FMA:BH is an example of an ideal shounen anime. It has all the action you can have, great pacing, and a good story. The show never fails to suffice, it has moments of death, betrayal and other mixed emotions. In other words, its not a show like bleach or naruto where every1 lives and no1 dies. Its a show of mixed emotions, with some pretty cool quotes and characters, something that makes it addictive.

Everyone should know the great fullmetal alchemist, edward elric, the youngest state alchemist ever. His goal in the show's journey is to find a way to restore his arm and leg, as well as his entire brother's being, back to normal. With automail limbs he and his brother set out on a journey to find a way for thier restorations. With thier involvement with the military, they soon come across enemies known as the homunculus( which I may mention, are one of the coolest villian groups in anime history), whom hinder thier journey, as edward and his brother al are both 2 of 5 pillars needed for the sacrifice, to awaken "the father". In thier journey, they meet many other characters, some aid them, some are just obstacles in thier long journey, but the thing is most of them play a part in the overall story and are pretty memoriable. Its pretty damn cool.

FMA:BH is one show that shouldnt be missed. The action is pretty real, and the final 13 episodes or so take this show to a whole different level, making it on a phenominal scale. It has a full and complete ending to boot, it gives that "complete" feeling when you finish the anime, that way watchers wont ask for more, cause the show ended well, and in my opinion I think this show ended off in a great note. Seriously, this show should not be missed, especially if you are one that likes bleach, naruto and all the other shounen whatnot.

Peace.
