Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood Episode 1 & 2 FULL REACTION!

Comments

I agree one of the only Anime's I recommend in Dub.

Dishant Patel

Dub makes this anime the classic. It's just one of the rare animes that dub is actually good. Dub is the choice

BiggieBenis

When it comes to FMAB dub is the only way to go looking past how amazing the English va are FMAB is fast paced and you dont want to miss something because you were to busy reading the screen that's just my opinion

Joseph a kingsbury

Shouldn’t it be on how she wants to watch the show? IMO, it’s her experience, screw the viewers lol

Edgez

I say the more safe option is too just go with subs since there is gonna be more viewers who have grown accustom to subs and it would probably be awkward for them to start watching something in dub. Besides, you can never really go wrong with subs.

GotherL

Watch the sub if for no other reason because it comes with subtitles. If you're not watching the dub on dvd or bluray you won't have subtitles and subtitles are really important for watching with a reactor.

Lee Tsabiras

Yay its Ed! The heroic hero with brains and short stature for those of us who are vertically imparted to see ourselves in

Raynac

How stupid it is to leave for such a reason. And this says that the person who wants to look with sub. 😒

Alex D Sinn

Hey, Jamie, I just want you to know, while I would prefer the dub, if you feel like you need to watch the sub to keep the childish elitists from leaving in a temper tantrum, I understand. If you have to move forward with the sub version, I blame them, not you. In fact, at this point, I'd say it'd be better to go with the sub. The dub fans don't plan on leaving if it's sub, but if you chose dub, we already know a bunch of the sub fans plan on leaving.

GoldArthur

You're supposed to be watching her reaction to the show, not the show itself. It sounds like you're trying to ignore her, and watch the show, which is essentially piracy.

GoldArthur

No, the manga is.

GoldArthur

This assesment is quite accurate.

Laugh N Half

While the dub is passable the sub is the way it is supposed to be watched imho...

Laugh N Half

The dub wasn't as bad as many I've heard because the actor's voices actually fit their characters but it's still a bit too cheesy for my liking. The lines sound canned and appear to lack any genuine emotion, even Edward's lines during the transmutation. It certainly didn't help that I had to keep my finger on the volume controls the entire episode so I could constantly adjust the volume since the characters were often far quieter than SMF. And whenever she spoke during the audio I would completely miss what they were saying in the episode. Worst part is that it appears many of the comments state their personal opinion about which is better (sub vs dub war never ends) and not which actually works better in a reaction and review format. The only way I see dubs being doable in a reaction format is if SMF can turn on closed captions in addition.

Resticon

The dub is currently winning the poll, dub all the way.

Carson elliott

PLS stay sub

SuicidalTaco

Go subbed. You'll hear familiar VA's

PLEASE DO THE DUBS 🙏🏿🤞🏿

Joshua Burns

For Fullmetal personally, I like the dubbed better, it just fits.

Bringing the dead back is a big NO-NO in any religion. It’s a great series, have fun and enjoy.

Jimmy Orchid

you need to react to both opening and endings this are great!! you going to get a lot of them don't skip them

Tony

or endings !! :D

bLuGhOsT

I am not sure how I'd feel about rewatching FMA but the openings are some of the best I've seen. I advise you to not skip any of them even if you have to go thru some spoilers. Their just that good!

GotherL

Man watching dubbed anime is just cringe to me idk why.. and it's also really annoying watching a reactor talk over dubbed anime since you can't read the subs... Please watch the subbed version it's so much better

Gabz

That makes no sense, since Jaime REACTS in English, and you're supposed to be here for her reaction m, and not as a way to pirate the show.

GoldArthur

That makes no sense.

GoldArthur

Subbed pls. We cannot contrate on your voice when ya comment

Zerozaki

The opening spoils nothing. Chill out.

JmanTheOmega

Sub ist miles better, I personally don't even like the Dub

The subbed version is still superior in every way, even though this is a good dub by anime standards!

Steven

sub. dub feels pretentious

Chaudhary Sohail Sadaqat

DUBBED is 100% the best

Andrew Cordery

I like dub better for this anime

Lucio Hinojosa III

If you can't decide on sub or dub then you might as well flip a coin and leave it to chance. As you said, it's 50/50 at this point.

Hawkin

You probably should watch the subbed episode 2, though. It's the better episode and definitely got more emotional range, so might as well try to experience the more in-depth emotions from the Japanese.

Voidaken

And I don't really care what language you watch it in. It doesn't really matter to me what I'm hearing. But the dub definitely is of superior quality and nuance. I've already watched it, though, so I don't care how you wanna do it. The journey of the story is the important part.

Voidaken

Just so you know, this isn't like One Piece. Alchemy doesn't work like Devil Fruits, and the codenames don't mean that's their only power. It's a specialty at best. Fullmetal refers to the prosthetic limbs. You are capable of doing anything in alchemy than another person can.

Voidaken

subbed version

sub please

I'm just gonna say it straight. Anybody who is telling you to watch the opening of the anime on the very first episode, hell, the first three episodes, is a moron. Openings will always spoil something. Wait it out until you get the foundation of the show if you're trying to go in as blind as possible.

Voidaken

sub please

FruitsPunchSamurai

there is a point. its indecisiveness

Jasmeet Singh

No I found the "FULL Metal alchemist" english shout out part weird in them.

Mechi

It would be better the subtitled, taking into account those who are from other countries and haven't a fluent English.

Rafael Medeiros Mota

Honestly just do whatever you enjoy the most. Since the poll was almost even, I'm sure most of the viewers would not mind too much. They will have to get used to it lol

Jin

One of the few Anime where I prefer the Dub, they voice actors are fantastic.

No0neAtAll

It's a little odd to me that you thought the commercial break bits were weird. One Piece has had them as well, right from the start, and even changed them up from time to time (the wanted posters, the scenes of each character's signature items, etc.). Anyway, I am glad you are deciding on Sub vs Dub yourself. We get really passionate about it, in this community, but they are both excellent and you are the one who is watching, after all.

Nathan Grenawalt

Sub. For me its hard to take the characters serious with the eng dub :X

Elexis

Some of the voice actors in the Dub are perfect!!! It feels really real. But, still it doesnt supreme the Sub! The voice actor of Huse for example can never be crossed! So my vote goes for sub

Onepieceln

Watch Dubbed, trust me it's way better than the kiddish subbed on this anime.

Nerd King Krokus

i vote for subbed as well.

Just want to point out the vote in now 97/97 on the poll, so its back to 50/50 split. Dub all the way.

Carson elliott

im enjoying the subbed version way more than the dubbed

I can literally pull up so many comparison scenes where the dub is better but that would be spoilers(love both sub and dub but everytime I watch this I watch dub)

Mizanul Alam

Anything is short after you've watched one piece :)

Distraction

Dub please.

Berlen Alberto

then she could pause the episode whenever she wants to talk about a point

Sub

Sabrina

of course sub

Olina

i prefer the normal one...

New Pirate

That is true, but lot of english speaker has watch this serie no so much long when it come out with a dub, wich is really good, still far from the original

JoJoIsReference

Sub

Elmatoor

I vote sub.

OSC_23_

What If they can't read..............

Mizanul Alam

In that case, it might be time to do it differently from every other reactor??

Sheeya

Dub 100% imo. This is one of those series where the dub is better than the sub and everything just flows so naturally.

Devon

Even if this series has one of the better dubs it makes no sense to take advantage of it when the sub is of the highest quality already.

Sheeya

So I really hope that you decide to go with the sub. The dub for this anime is pretty good, but the dub just has this lack of emotion compared to the sub which really breaks it for me. The same scene in episode 1 and episode 2 where Elric was attaching the soul to the suit of armor it just felt much more emotional in episode 1 due to sub voices just being so exceptional. The music also goes so much better with the japanese voices/language. There's also some other reasons why going sub is better - you do like to talk and comment when things happen in your reactions, when we have to listen to a dubbed voice where the volume is turned down we can sometime miss words that are spoken, this is especially true for people who don't have english as their first language. Having the subtitles to read while you speak just makes it so much easier. I would love it if you on your spare time could just open up episode 2 dubbed and subbed simultaneously and just compare the scenes when they attempt human transmutation, hopefully you'll see there the difference in emotion in sub vs dub. Also if I don't remember incorrectly, the 1st episode is a filler meant to foreshadow events that happends later since everything is connected from start to end - but the manga starts pretty much at episode 3 with some pieces of episode 2 being shown here and there.

Sheeya

Dub, you get a better sense of everyones personality

Shiftycrane

I'm usually a sub guy, but the dub cast for FMA is legendary, so much so that every time I choose to rewatch the show I watch it dubbed

Ohrick

This is probably one of 5 series with the best dub so i would take advantage

Kyle O'Reilly

subs as u end up talking unintentionally over the dubbed audio ,u might miss some key points

Chinmay Hegde

There is a big problem with brotherhood version. Its that it is really hard to get a hang of if you dont know the first version of this show. Cause its completely out of order and you dont get why people do the things they do. But it will be better past the half point though. But i just hate the start of this version of the show

Morgan Hellström

I hope for dubbed aswell

Sub, it's better and won the poll anyway, even if only by a few votes. A dub is always a change to the original work and the japanese voice actors are a significant part of the show.

Phillip Grischa

So she makes a poll to ask US what we prefer and when state our opinion it means we are giving her shit, ok.

John Smith

I like dub

Akshay

I'm hoping for Dub.

Theloneous Washington

Dub!

Byrizzle

dub

Juan Linan

I prefer the japanese voices.

you can dub if you want but ill say you have a lot of fans all over the universe that some of them doesnt really understand english soooo...... i hope sub ahha

Mike Strike

Throwing my hat in the dub corner

Dub with subtitles!

Fabian

some of you guys are fucking cunts to smf, saying dub this sub that and giving her shit for whatever shes watching, be fucking appreciative that shes fucjing reacting FOR US,, most of you guys are fucking ungrateful, man fucking pricks

Eric

ED &gt; OP for me in this case

bLuGhOsT

sub

crownex

Well, at least you admit it, and seem to have a more jovial attitude about it, as opposed to some of your fellow elitists.

GoldArthur

Subbed, so you wont miss stuff while talking.

Hanta

Armstrongs voice is so much better in English..

Delip K Hurtault

Since I've seen so little of the sub, I just realized that King Bradley has the same Japanese voice as Dragon from One Piece. In terms of being able to follow along with the tons of dialogue that acts as the exposition of this show, dub is better just for you to follow along and understand.

Sherv

Love your reactions Jamie-chan. Please watch the English dub!

I've watched both and are fine with either though I think I prefer the Japanese cast. FMA: Brotherhood is a fantastic entryway anime in my opinion. It has a lot of universal humor but also serious themes, there's not many hard to understand names, it's a Germanic setting and the characters are endearing.

Monkey bing bong

It's rare to get a great Dub. So i would say enjoy it while you can! Most of what you watch is subbed, so enjoy the dub!

Zana

I prefer sub as it brings out more emotions as this will be an emotional anime

Isabel Delgado

I’d say subbed

Kwame Brown

The dub is solid and I also think the translation is better. Subbed voice acting is great as it always as but the translation tends to be awkward and cringey when translated to English. In the end tho I don't mind and no one should, do what you prefer!

SomeoneElse

need to pause the video while you're talking, tbh. If you're going to do dub.

JmanTheOmega

This

All Might

Sub

Robert Collard

watch sub pls

Pedro

Sub for me. I like them both but sometimes it's hard to hear in dub especially when you talk.

Hammi

Out of all the anime I've watched this has the best dub voice actors

Adelsic

Sub

Mettzen

I prefer dub for this one. Though if you go with it, you should raise the shows audio a bit, was kinda hard to hear

Maginpui

As someone who isn't a native english speaker, it's actually easier for me to follow the dub version. The sub version has some weird or questionable translations (at least the one SMF watched) which makes it a lot more difficult to follow the dialogue or story.

Daniel Burgmann

For this anime dub please . Just turn the captions on so we can follow along.

SkyKingBaby

I feel like everyone sounds very soft-spoken in subbed, while Ed's and Mustang's personality fit the stronger sounding voice that dubbed offers.

You miss subtitles to if your focusing on talking.

Carson elliott

One of the few anime series I've never watched. I don't really know why.... But Im super excited to watch it for the first time with you ^^

Mattie

Fma b is such a complicated show , it took my two times watching the dub to fully follow everything, watch the dub. (Try to find a dub version with subtitles for the non english speakers) but dub all the way.

Carson elliott

I think you should do the dub. It's just as good if not better, and itd be a nice change of pace since you always do subs

Chase

Please sub. It's hard for me to follow without the sub and you talking.

I'm a sub purist soooo I am ofcourse gonna say watch the sub haha

Plz2ez

Dub better for this one in my opinion

Justin Anderson

I'm a native Spanish speaker, and I prefer 100% Japanese voices.

Félix Cuevas

u should rewatch this episode on dub, n tell us ur opinion I'm very interested on ur point of view .

Nicolas Cardillo

i think its easier for people to follow subs while youre reacting since everyone isnt a native english speaker

tom butto

This anime is my absolute favorite, I watch it a few times every year! I’ve watched it in both dub and sub and I personally prefer the dub. This is one of the VERY few anime that I can say that about but I feel like there are more emotions in the voices in the dub, especially with Ed. But if you decide to watch the subbed version here, I recommend that you watch it in dubbed by yourself if you feel like you have the time. It would be a shame if you missed it because I think that the english voice actors actually make this into a better anime.

AnimeFreak96

I’m a sub anime fan, it just always seems more natural to me but I just can’t watch this sub while knowing how the dub sounds, I just honestly prefer it more, however I was reading the comments in this episode and lot of people said that you might miss dialogue while speaking with it being dub so I personally hope that you choose dub and with captions so that’s nothing’s missed. Even tho all reaction channels miss when it’s subbed regardless!!!! I’m talking to you comment section!!!!! Hopefully you choose dub, it’s a good one lots of people like and it’ll be a nice change of pace. Lastly just choose which you feel like you’ll enjoy the show more in, after all if we were watching this just to watch the anime we can do that on our own, but we here for your reaction. Well that about it, stay fresh and bye (SMF Voice)

Richard Vazquez

Also, their childhood friend is called "Winry" :)

bLuGhOsT

I feel like you should just watch it whichever you prefer rather than look in the comments, you've already did a poll and you know the patrons are split 50-50 already! So I don't think you'll get any new info from this

bLuGhOsT

Well everything other than bebop has been sub so when so many people say it’s a great dub you should go dub. Give more love to dubs. Let’s be honest it could be the greatest dub in humanity’s history and the people who voted sub would still vote sub. Do what YOU prefer. Your ride or die patrons will always got your back 😎

Jechtsphere

Sub for the win , I think you will miss some dialogue in dub when your speaking.

JT

I think sub is way better, I'm brazilian and IDK if there's other patreons from Brazil that think as same, so, the times at you're speaking with the dubbed version it's a little hard for me, but, that just my opinion.

good idea

Mik

I think both sub and dub sounds decent in this anime, but it was hard to hear the dub when you were speaking at the same time so I think sub would be better for that reason

alicev89

some sports anime would be a change of pace instead of the adventure type thing.

Mik

Dub

was Hajime no Ippo ever in the poll for next anime.

Mik

yeah dub is wayyy better

Webster91

This is the one anime that you should watch in Dub. Sub is good too, but this is arguably the best English Dubbed anime.

You're going to have to pick a side at some point so just choose the version that you feel you're going to enjoy the series more with, I and many others that prefer this dub are also people I imagine that believe sub is the clear winner most of the time but with this one, we believe the english one is more suitable, anyway up to you :)

Wishmaker007

they also skip some of the first episodes of the 2003 anime because they assumed viewers already watched the 2003 anime

SmightySmiter

So the reason why the first episode felt all over the place was because it is a brotherhood exclusive story (aka it didn't happen in the manga). The reason why it was action oriented with little introduction was show that they know how to handle this series (imo). They did this because FMA actually has another anime that was produced and aired in 2003 (Brotherhood is 2009). The difference between these two is that 2003 came out while the manga was still ongoing. It eventually caught up to the manga and surpassed it. With blessing from the manga writer, the anime writers basically continued the story and took it in their own direction. Brotherhood is the version that focuses on telling the manga story pretty much 1:1, with some exceptions (like the first episode).

Slow Hedgehog

The start of the op give me chills everytime ^-^ . I say sub.

An absent father and a mother dying of an unnamed illness,leave out the attempt at human transmutation and that's Usopp's backstory.

This is the only anime I will ever vote DUB for. IF you do decide on dub, make sure the captions are on, so we can still read along, like with sub 🤷‍♀️😉

Littleocean16

I originally thought dub would be better (it's my personal preference). But if you're going to commentate/monologue while you're watching, then you might not be able to hear dialogue, and dialogue is pretty important in this series. Then again, most sub formats for FMAB are pretty bad. The version that you used doesn't keep the subs on the screen long enough to read properly. Both sub and dub have their own drawbacks. Up to you

Jeffrey Su

Dub

Marcus Gustafsson

cause that is ur bias talking. i always had prefer sub over dub but for this anime and db the dub sounds just as good. edward is voiced by vic the voice of broly and anytime he is involve with the english dub ppl say that it is good. he even sang the english opening for one piece and ppl said it was good.

Dennis Jung

Sub

Jordan

I don't know dub version sounds so cringe for me :/

i don't get why FMA is 2x a week since it's short. while bleach is 1x a week when it is long.

Dennis Jung

I'd prefer sub

Just saying you going to need those tissues you got for the one piece reactions, so be ready this anime gets emotional 😢

Jarlyn

dub plzz it's so much easier to focus on your reaction and the story

please always sub !

dieskii

You should rewatch the same episodes in dub/sub to get a feel for which got the emotion across to you more I think. LIke episode 2 in the sub to see if there is a difference. I personally hope you choose sub, I think dubs are always cringe.

Robert Sommers

Personally I prefer sub but the dub for FMAB is really great. For a reaction I do think sub is better because not having the text to read can make it harder for the viewers to follow what is going on, especially for those who haven't seen it before, due to it being hard to hear what they are saying when you are talking at the same time. However, pick whatever you prefer, I'll most likely watch either way.

Nexs

Dub

Jarlyn

Sub

Clauberth Weerner

I feel like the point of the poll was lost if you're asking the question again when we voted already and the sub won. I mean you say the vote was 50/50 but it wasn't, if you actually take the percentage you will see the result was actually 51/49 in favor of the sub. I just don't see the point of asking the question again. If you wanted to watch the dub over the sub that'd be different, however the sub is better.

Aplord09

I know ppl who always prefer anime subbed as its default value, and there are plenty of them (i like to consider them in the majority). it's surprising that the votes were so close which leads me to believe that the dub might be better than the sub. A strong case for the dub is also made by watchmojo in top 10 dubbed anime list.

Jasmeet Singh

I would prefer you watch it in Sub. 😗 I've watched both in Sub and Dub and there's something about the dub where it didn't really pull my heartstrings when it comes to an emotional scene. 🤷‍♀️

AScarlet

When they introduced him as "Col. Roy Mustang", the "Col." is for Colonel. I'm watching as I comment, so IDK if you realized this later on, apologies if that's the case.

Jeffrey Su

Sub

Dub ez

ednapls

Dub

dajai montgomery

Dub is just overall better for reactions. It’s a solid dub with great VA’s and because it’s in a language you can understand it will make it easier to talk and react to without missing something which happens often when people reacts to subs

I love English dub with this anime and it lets you focus on the story with out subtitle distraction

yoselin ortega

pls never watch anime dub version T_T

Sub, cuz original will always be more accurate.

soor7

I like the dub more but I'm ok with both

nelons

Would be okay for dub if you can enable subs, it's all about understanding the episode you know

Dario Campos

...Then how do you understand her reactions?

GoldArthur

Actually, I watched it weekly, when it was coming out. I still prefer the dub.

GoldArthur

Sub is better for me

Gin032

Sub please. Or dub with subtitles. Either way I would like subtitles pls

condensed milk

dub is fine but gotta need sub to clearly understand what's going on, not gonna lie

Dario Campos

I don't get why people like dub so much. I mean I get that its personal preference, but the jokes get really cringy in dub ver. And I can speak both Japanese and English so I know sub version is way more natural.

kimchisux

Either way it is an amazing anime in general but I feel they really nailed it and got some amazing/established voice actors for this English dub.

SupremeCai

It's the only anime I have watched where I prefer the dub

Slik

I always prefer sub, but the dub in this is actually good. And i usually hate dub. I think most people will be cool with whichever one you pick.

zebweasel

I choose dub 😅

Farshat Khalegjar

Dub was better. Also, you seemed to retain more info and enjoy it in the dub more.

GoldArthur

Dubbed

Alex Reyes true 1 PIECE FAN

dub

Dojee

Dubbed Is Best for FMAB

John Doe

Dub!

I'm fine with either dub/sub for FMAB (I'm usually sub only). 1 point though, since you tend to talk quite a bit during reactions you end up talking over the dub quite a bit. Personally I've seen FMAB enough times that I still know what's happening even when I can't hear the dialogue, but that might not be the case for others. But overall I think you should stick with whichever you preferred.

Barta Erik

sub!!!

Les Fromages

Sub....

Cesar

sub ^^

Avaren

I would prefer dub, but i will understand if you end up watching it subbed

Kakashi

This is the GOAT anime dub, every role is perfect. Plus Sub is inevitably hard to follow, Dub is just way better

Jeff

Dub

Travis king

Dub

Travis king

I'd say the dub.

RedBlaze

She did 2/week with hxh I assume this will be similar

Assimilater

For me English was easier to understand certain things that got complicated

Perez95

I prefer the sub, because as a German guy I better understand it.

Can you make 2-3 videos for FMAB per week? Since it’s a shorter series, they cover a lot of ground each episode. It will be easier to follow if your memory of it is fresh!

Steven

The manga is the original

Perez95

Sub please!! You went with dub for Cowboy Bebop, now it's time for sub.

AOP

Also maybe you should re-watch that 2nd episode in sub to get the transmutation scene in the original. The Japanese VA went crazy on that one.

Prime Echo

Sub :) Loved the reaction tho.

Prime Echo

Well as a French guy its a little complicated to understand without sub so i go for it. And i prefer the japanese voice anyway ...

Dr Poldovitch

sub squad rise

dp1105

Sub for the win, most people who like dub are because they have see it in english first time, i watched FMA:B when it come out, only way to do was with sub.

JoJoIsReference

Aguante sub :3

SirFusible

Dub all the way

Jcw490

Dub

Armstrong is voiced by All Might. That alone should be enough for the dub

Jcw490

My vote is for dub. And I'm a sub watcher. But this is the rare case which I prefer the Dub wayyy more. Don't get me wrong, the sub is good too. But if you're gonna watch any anime in dub then this is one of the best for it. And I'd prefer if you watch it in dub.

Karu

dub is better for this anime

Subbed! it's always just better

I say DUB but that’s just me

Ethan

fmab dub is so overrated.... definitely sub

kimchisux

True anime fan always goes sub:)cause original is always the best:)

Robert Technovsky

Dub all the way

Marquis Mattocks

i like subbed because sometimes i watch without sound

Antonio Monteiro

That's because you watched it in sub first. People thst watch ir in dub first feel the opposite.

GoldArthur

I prefer sub.

Steven

always sub!

Aplord09

I liked the sub more.

camel.d

for me sub is better

im at the opening and goosebumps!

Jasmeet Singh

Defniitely sub

Ghazi Aj

I like the dub more

Diego

Definitely Dub. I've never even seen a reactor watch the sub.

Well for most, it does.

Hanta

Please watch it on sub Dub just not feel right/the same No matter how many times I try it (And I really tried to give it a chance because of the people here..)

One of the few anime that is (in my opinion) better in dub format. Also, one of the few Manga/Anime series created by a woman, so expect strong women in this one!!

Nyk2121

I watched it subbed so dub sounds really strange. It just doesnt fit this anime at all.

John Smith

I actually preferred the Dub the voice actors are amazing in this anime

stressbean

Dub is superior for this anime

SupremeCai

Doesn't really matter they both 👍

Dub. my eyes hurt after so much OP

Jasmeet Singh

So the vote was very close, almost 50/50 so I did ep 1 in subbed and 2 in dubbed. Let me know what you guys think. Dub or Subbed? I like them both!

Mechi

get the tissues ready

Jasmeet Singh
