It's different than the other anime series, has different ups and downs.  Worth watching if you like the series.  No idea on the dub though.

Hey doods --

Is Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood better/as good/worse than the original? Is the dub good? I usually prefer subs because I feel like it's closer to the original experience but if it's good enough I'm okay with being lazy. I don't watch a lot of anime but I really enjoyed the original series, though I was kinda so so with the ending. Your input appreciated!

FMA's dub was pretty good and Brotherhood has the same voice actors, so, yeah, go for it.

Starting reading some more Medaka Box and made it up to chapter 23. The latest arc, and the current direction of the manga in general, isn't as good as the first 15 chapters. Too much shounen action and serious business, not enough with the funny [which was what the first 15 chapters were]. Don't know if I'm going to keep reading it or not.

Caught up on Level E, Fractale, and SRW OG.  Level E is great.  Color Rangers! :rofl
I still can't tell if Fractale is good.  Sometimes it feels like Ghibli x Last Exile, sometimes it feels like nothing happens.

Still need to catch up on Madoka & Wandering Son and then I'm at least caught up with the current season tv stuff.

Episode 5 of Fractale was pretty terrible, almost made me lose all hope in the series. Really awkward unfunny humor, Phryne's personality is all over the place, and even less happens/is revealed than in the first four episodes. Episode 6 was a lot better, though.

Level E is consistently amazing.

Finished the first season of Arakawa finally.  I liked it, but sometimes it was boring and I'd fall asleep and wake up a few mins later.

Did anyone watch S2?  Is it better/worse?  Not sure if I liked S1 enough to watch another season.

Just watched episode 7 of Fractale. Basically, nothing here suggests to me that the series is ever going to get over being all over the place. Some parts are pretty good, some parts are just terrible. The show moves at a glacial pace for 18 minutes dwelling on things that aren't remotely important to anything, then crams in a ton of plot-important revelations and action. The recurring villain who appears at the end of the episode is the kind mustache-twirling, always smirking villain that every single anime these days just has to have and it's beyond annoying. Nevermind that all the bad guys so far and incredibly one dimensional. Where's their drive? Why are they doing what they're doing. Who knows, who cares. That's apparently what the creators think. As long as the villains is totally evil, you'll completely buy into it and root for their inevitable come-uppance at the hands of our plucky, quirky heroes.

Everything surrounding the series, including the first episode or two, suggests that the series should be a fast-paced, story-driven adventure series [like Nadia or early Ghibli], but it's not. It spends too much time [of its 11 episode length] meandering about on slice-of-life stuff with no stakes and no relevance. There are a lot of things wrong with modern anime, we've certainly mentioned enough here in this thread, but I think this over-reliance on non-story may very well be the biggest.

No against slice-of-life, some of my favorites series are, but too often series try to tow the line, throw out a bunch of slice-of-life stuff and then try to cram some kind of serious story into the last few episodes and it never works. You know why Aria is such a great series? Because it doesn't try to cram in a story! It knows exactly what it's doing and then does that thing very, very well. Fractale wants to be a thoughtful scifi series wrapped in an adventurous storyline, but also play around with its characters as they visit some new place every week and have carefree adventures and learn about friendship and such. It's ruining what could have been a really good series. But there's also big problems with the writing beyond that, so maybe it would be ruined anyway.

It's just so frustrating.

On one hand it's a genre that doesn't get enough love these days.  Hardly anyone makes true adventure series anymore, where the characters travel around a fantasy world on an epic journey.  Instead almost every show takes place in a middle school classroom, in Japan.  Otoh, nothing happens in the show and it's 11eps and the characters have barely developed in the first 7.  So yeah...
Also there's way too much of a focus on GIRLS.  Boobs, moe, nudity, ecchi-man jokes, takes up like a quarter of every ep, when the time should be used elsewhere.

The scale of the art is really fantastic and reminds me of Ghibli, but there detail is definitely nowhere near.


I dunno, I don't think it's bad.  It's just not living up to its potential.  I'd still recommend it along with Madoka & Wandering Son as examples of modern quality anime.

I think the fact that it's actually better in a lot of ways than most other anime is part of the reason I'm so hard on it. There's a lot of potential here, and skill behind the scenes, to make it a lot better, but they seem content to not really push for anything other than being decent. It really needs a faster pace, more action, and way more plot progression.

It's a distant third behind Madoka and Level E, for me.
