THANKS FULLMETAL!… THIS STORY WILL STAY WITH ME FOREVER! - FMAB #64

Yeah I was hoping to check them out as well. Such a shame.

Sarkkoth

Hey man, signed up to your patreon to watch all the FMAB videos. They are all unavailable :(. Any alternate links you could maybe give me? Thanks

Love this anime found it funny when they said "men who sit around and do nothing are boring." as we watch this series sitting down. Haha

Zachary Provenzano

And on a side note, that's a fucking great t-shirt you're rocking there.

Matthew Budgell

This was a blast. Thank you Curtis. I never would have watched this show had you not reacted to it. I've been putting off watching it for years and I feel somewhat stupid for doing that considering all of the anime I've watched that doesn't hold a candle to this series. It was a good experience watching the episode and then watching your reaction to every episode. I was able to soak up any info I missed during the first viewing with your reactions. It also prolonged the great experience. I'm sad it's now over.

Matthew Budgell

Thanks again Curtis. You’ve made this another awesome experience for me. Take care, sir. 👍🙂

Anthony Corvello

I hope you will react to either (or hopefully both) Seven Deadly Sins or Death Note. Both are great animes imo (Death Note being one of my all time favorites)

Rixadzin

A heart made fullmetal *cries*. So good.

EnderWiggin

do you have a schwingggggggggg tshirt yet?

It's the "Goosh Goosh" man! :-)

Spaz Boys Comedy

What is your opening because it looks creepy

SleepySnorlax

Very well said, My Friend!!

Spaz Boys Comedy

lol, just no. FMAB's ending is pretty good, because it tied up everything that have been proposed since the beginning -like Ed discovering about the two portals connected and etc. Moreover, FMAB villains and characters in general are far way better developed imo, as well as the story. The only thing 2003 version made as great as FMAB or even better is the soundtrack, but I really like both of them. Just because is a ''''''happy'''''' ending it is unoriginal? Fuck off

Nicolas Loure

I am fully in line with your ideas about this being the 'perfect' series. Throughout all the mangas I've read and animes I have watched, this series and the manga that it was based on have always remained my favourite. The way this anime was produced, it felt like everything seemlessly coming together. In fact, the final 64th episode of the anime pretty much coincided with the final 108th chapter of the manga (and keep in mind that the manga was a monthly one). Like a human being, this series is always in motion. There is not a single wasted episode. Nearly every scene teaches you something new about the characters or the world they inhabit. From the mangaka, from the publishers, from the animators and from the voice actors, this series has been nothing but the purest labour of love, and it shows. I do not believe in perfection, but this is definitely as close to it as us lowly humans can get.

Thanks curtis for taking us on this ride once again. FMA:B will always be one of my favorite series and it is one of the best stories ever told. Naruto into fma! Its been a blast!

Liam D

Ed really looks like his dad in the end with the trench coat and hair lol

if you remember the first episode the freezing alchemist was trying to destroy central and the establishment with lines like "you don't understand". So its more than likely he somehow knew about all the corruption and evil, and his character was a little crazy to throw you off that trail of actually believing him. (I'd also like to add at the end mustang had 4 badges on his shoulder in the photograph which is the rank of fuhrer woohoo)

My favorite quote is, “I understand why you think you have an advantage over a man like me since I possess neither your impenetrable ultimate shield nor an ultimate spear that can pierce any substance... but I’ll tell you a secret... do you know how I manage to distinguish myself amongst the storms of bullets on the battlefield time after time? To rise to my current position?”

The way they finished everyone's storylines are epic,especially with Scar going to Briggs,great emding

He will, he’s watched them already.

Will you react to the outtakes? :D

Enzo Grano

Actually consider Ed's last words about sacrafice and then combine those words with Pains from Naruto. In essence the only reason Ed can make a joke of it is he got a happily ever after. Interesting that their words are similar but because of the outcome of both characters different idealogies are born. Makes you wonder what type of person Ed would have become is he didnt get Alphonse back just like Nagato lost Yahiko.

"men who just sit around doing nothing are boring" Way to diss our entire fanbase :D and Curtis

Jojoekage

"i guess he rubbed off on me after all" Thats what he said

Jojoekage

From start to finish FMAB is one of my favorite stories ever with probably in my opinion one of the best endings ever we lost some friends and close allies but the elrics got the ending they fought for and deserved anything less after everything they went through wouldve sucked also I wonder how eds fighting style changed after losing his alchemy because no way he's not getting into trouble on his travels oh right his leg is still automail bet he got tricked out

Daniel Gonzalez

"Men who just sit around doing nothing are boring." I feel personally attacked.

Liesmith

If you want more FMA, there's a couple extra episodes (like "Teacher's First Love" and "The Blind Alchemist") that aren't part of the main plot, but are great side stories to watch!.

Ladies and gentlemen, Fullmetal Alchemist.

SovereignArimik

Loved the reactions.

Antiquity

Remember to watch the bloopers: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3aFPN2dEOA" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3aFPN2dEOA</a>

Liesmith

I always love the moment where Winry calls equivalent exchange nonsense, and Ed says, "What'd you say?!" Hahaha, the way he says it makes me think he's about to say, "I'll fucking fight you bro!"

Tyler

Isn't that what Al said was happening to Ed?

Waver

Remember Maes Hughes is a Nazi <a href="https://youtu.be/KNUXmQp2DnU?t=3796" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/KNUXmQp2DnU?t=3796</a>

My thought is that Ed was so small because he was sustaining both his own body and Al's body within the gate of truth for all those years. So while he had some growth during the series (Due to switching to the lighter automail apparently), it's not until Al has his body back where Ed suddenly skyrockets in height at the end which I think is pretty great and symbolic of the burden he carried during the series, because of their mistake. I also appreciate how much Ed looks like Hohenheim as well, almost as if he has started wearing his dad's old clothes.

Caffeinated King

FMAB is almost perfection. I think the pacing is a bit too fast, there are not enough filler moments to help build our attachment to the characters, and the post credit scenes were an awful idea. But here I'm just being picky cos it's still an amazing series. Seriously though, post credit scenes are a terrible idea and should never be used in an anime ever again. FMAB❤

Master Gamataifu

Mine are Hohenheim, Scar, and Kimblee. But actually, I love all the characters except Tucker and the Gold-Toothed Doctor (for obvious reasons).

Master Gamataifu

I wish you had watched the 2003 version instead much better no sappy ending.

If I remember right, Curtis won't watch any ongoing anime. So Boruto is not an option for reactions until it ends or reaches a hiatus.

Master Gamataifu

Before Chimera Ant arc: These ants are fodder, they probably aren't even Phantom Troupe level. After episode 85: RRRRRRUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jamir Dixon

Fun fact: Mustang using the Philosopher's Stone to heal Havoc is actually something added to the anime. While the picture of him at the end of the anime shows him standing perfectly fine with Rebecca and Breda, the picture shown in the original manga was actually of him going through physical therapy and recovering the old fashioned way.

Subaru130

There is also a series of OVA shorts which is fun.

Peter Milligan

Yes, the bloopers are amazing! Just the icing on the cake to the perfection that is Brotherhood. Funny enough, Brotherhood is one of the only anime series I've ever bought. (Mainly just watch off Crunchyroll.) I just felt it was too good not to own in its entirety.

Ghost Tendency

For me...the moment that hit hard, a lesson that stuck with Ed and Al through the whole series, and is meme'd a lot is Nina Tuckers transformation into a Chimera and following death. It is always something to re-watch that moment, when Ed realizes everything. There is just the look of shock in his eyes, and immediate anger. For me its a question was he really mad at Tucker, or more so at himself for not realizing it. I always felt like Ed was more mad at his inability to save her, over what her father had done to her.

Some fun information: the final chapter and the final episode were released the same day. Arakawa had worked with the anime producers to have both ready at the same time. The original VA for Al in the '03 anime came back as young Hohenheim. Additionally, the way they get the sound for Al's voice is by doing their lines with a bowl on the head. The VA for Ed was often not shown the script ahead of time so that the reactions could be more genuine. So when Ed finds out what's on the other side of the gate of truth, after the stuff with Shou Tucker, and a lot of stuff toward the end are Vic's actual reactions.

Cetacean Needed

I still remember when Yt was building hype for Pain for you when you were watching Naruto :D

curtis u also have naruto shirts?`and btw will u continue with Boruto when u finish ur next chosen Anime 1$ petreon series?

BeissZang

Imho, this is the best show ever created, and I'm thrilled to have enjoyed it once again along with you, Curtis! Been a few years since I last watched it, so it was enjoyable

Probably only when they're too young to go with him. I doubt that he does all his traveling alone.

Connor Brennan

THERE IS NO MOVIE

Connor Brennan

The only thing I dislike about the ending is that Ed leaves his children behind when he goes traveling.

Scryehard

I freaking love how Ed is wearing Hohenheim's jacket.

Scryehard

You should watch the bloopers for this show! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3aFPN2dEOA" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3aFPN2dEOA</a>

James Hylton

That ending quote is my single favorite quote of all time.

Bloopers, bloopers!

Scryehard

Now that you’ve finished the series, who would you say are your favorite characters? My favorites are Hohenheim, King Bradley and Olivier Armstrong.

Now onto watching the bloopers ;)

Why is it that when I rawatched it with you, the ending saw more poignant for me?

Sean D

"I think we should try and bring mom back"

Polygon

I've seen OPM; amazing show! I can't wait for season 2!

Spaz Boys Comedy

I’m sure everyone noticed but nobody mentioned it. I really like how Ed is tall now and I also like that he’s taller then Winry bc she doesn’t like short guys

React to attack on titan, death note or one punch man... after super of course..lol

Full metal is a masterpiece!

The fact there is no sequel makes its legacy even better. The author set out to tell an amazing story and did it in only 64 episodes. Legendary

Nick

Best anime out there. It's all downhill from here. Sorry, Curtis.

Zhalterrix

Only one thing left to do."Let's bring Mom back."

ryan ecker

Scar was almost smiling? No, that was a full smile there.

Zhalterrix

ED FINALLY DICKED WINRY DOWN THAT'S MY BOY

I actually have never seen this series before you started watching so thank you for getting me into it. I still would have to say Scar, Al, Mustang are my favorites. Oh and btw in the thumbnail al looks like hokage naruto from the back which is pretty cool in my book.

I’ll never stop rewatching fmab because it is so deep tha every time I watch it again I notice something I haven’t noticed before

In the manga when it shows that picture xiao mei is a full grown panda

me realizing this show started airing 9 years ago

Acoleyte

Tomorrow

Brother E

Don't forget bloopers! I haven't even watched your video yet but i just wanted to make sure to remind you lmao

Ansley

If you guys want Fate Zero, we'll be having polls soon as to what to watch at the $5 level. The $1 level is already booked for quite some time.

Spaz Boys Comedy

DBS is next at the $1 level.

Spaz Boys Comedy

Voice acting bloopers when?

As far as"more" goes there is a short comic a few years into the future the author made? And also, its no continuation but there's always the 2003 series :) Watching this with you made me feel and realize how greatly this really tied up the series and made me feel the great journey Ive been on with this show. I might never have actually felt this before from this series like this time, when I first finished it I read part by part and then you grow so used to everything about it being the way it is and what it is. But yeah, this really was a really great series and I could really feel it this time around :)

Schmul Sjifris

Tfw Ed is basically Hohenheim now.

Robert Eisenman

Will he be reacting to the Sacred Star of Milos movie?

Sheriff Uchiha

Lol the cycle continues. The show ends, i get sad and rewatch again. Rinse and repeat. 😅

Soulley

Anyone told him about the bonus manga chapter that completes the journey or Al's armor?

I thought one of them was for sure giong to die. The lions speach to Al when fighting pride and kimblee is 1 of my favorite scenes in the anime

Soulley

Even though Ed "hated" his father, he became a traveler exactly like hes dad. Such a great show!

invo

I don’t know if you read manga or not, but the FMA manga expands on a few things! Episode 30 of FMAB is a whole volume in the manga, and it’s so chilling to see Mustang, Hawkeye, Hughes, and Armstrong do horrible things in wartime.

One more thing to notice is that ,at the end the white coat Winry is wearing at the train station is actually the same one that Ed was wearing in the begining of the episode when Al and Ed first got home

Matsumoto Erkin

You should watch the first series and compare them.

Ya boring

Yeah, tomorrow

invo

are you going to react to the fullmetal brotherhood bloopers?

Diego

Did you notice how much Ed looks like Hohenheim in the end there? I can’t get over that :) I know you’ve already filmed the blooper-video but I really recommend you check out the ovas! Especially teachers and Roy's. And the 4-kooma Theater shorts too! Tbh I just don’t want fmab to be over yet :) thank you so much for reacting to this awesome series

Anna Lena Ciplajevs

I second fate zero next.

Kaeden Coke Parten

This is the most well balanced anime series there is I feel. It was great fun watching it all over again with you.

Kree

Bloopers!!!

Matsumoto Erkin

Yes!

Ryan

Such an amazing series!! I think the relationship between Ed and Winry was really well done. Al and Mei too! Can't wait to see the blooper reaction.

Morgan

Holy hell watching it with you this is the first time I noticed Winry and Ed end up having kids??? And the grown up mei is cool too. Never noticed that.

SuperiorSpiderBoy

You better do the bloopers tomorrow cause they are hilarious!!!!!

Dustin Taylor

Hey, don't forget to react to Devil is a part timer!

Ever since I started watching anime I thought of "how nice would it be to forget temporarily about a series so I can watch it for the first time" :P

ArchmageVengard

I'm glad non of the chimera died I really liked them and for sure though one was going to die. So I'm glad for that and yeah what an amazing journey it was

Aidan

Also, Ed is the spitting image of his dad. he only needs a beard

Joey Visser

The sad thing is not the moment you finish a series, it is when you realize that you will NEVER be able to watch it a first time again ever in your life.

Brother E

Replace with Fate/ zero

Xavier Ruffin

The end of a Journey, and what a amazing Journey it was

Joey Visser

How wholesome 😁

Jojoekage

ALSO NO, it ended :'c

ArchmageVengard

YES

ArchmageVengard

And now to the blooper reel
