Hey everyone! We will be having a podcast discussing the entirety of the Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood series THIS FRIDAY 3/1 at 2pm! Please join us and be ready to call in via our Discord if you have any questions you would like to ask us!
I love how Hiromu Arakawa managed to write 3 different plot lines of Elric Bros, Mustang and Hohenheim, and interconnect them at that. Simply masterpiece.
I love how you see Ed, Al and Winry age. If you compare them to the earlier episodes you see how much older they've gotten. It's a nice touch that most shows don't do or don't do well.
One of my favourite tiny details in this show, is after Alphonse returns to his body, but before Edward destroys Father, and after he gets his right arm back, you can see the visual difference in his two arms.
I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH. THANK YOU FOR THIS JOURNEY. NOW WATCH THE BLOOPERS. P.S: The reason they didn't kiss is because the author couldn't draw two people kissing lol.
@@inferno9103 Plus Mustang and Hawkeye really can't act on any emotions due to Mustang being her superior. So it would be against Military Rules for them to be in any sort of openly romantic relationship. Which is why the Author says she never had them openly admit their feelings. At best maybe when Mustang becomes Fuher she would step down and marry him and become the First Lady. Like General Grumman hints at when he says Mustang should marry his Granddaughter and make her the first lady and his Granddaughter is Hawkeye. Although I wouldn't be completely shocked if Hawkeye didn't step down and stayed on as his body guard. Unless Fuher are forced to marry if they are young enough. Which at that point doubt Mustang would accept marrying anyone who isn't Riza. Which might force her hand to retire from the military.
*Not to argue over the morality of it, but I'm pretty sure that the only way a philosopher's stone could be destroyed is if it all the souls are used up. Otherwise, those souls would be stuck inside that stone forever because it's a perfect material. So at least the last stone is being used to heal rather than destroy.
Technically Dr. Marco could have destroyed them with the circle on his hand he used to destroy envy's stone but that feels more of a waste than to help those who are suffering (even if it wasn't the souls in the stones choice to be used in that way since of course you're assuming what they want)
@@foxfireespresso marco can unbind the souls, but we don't know what happens to them after, and many of the souls in the stones express joy at burning themselves out, so i think they would be fine with being used if it means their descendants are restored and the soul gets released from its bindings in the stone.
@@Yal_Rathol did they use the wording unbind in the manga? Because Marco in the English dub just said they know how to create them but also destroy the stones. I dont think it ever mentioned if the souls were or were not destroyed inside the stone when the stone was destroyed. I dont remember hearing unbind but I might have forgot ^^"
@@foxfireespresso i don't recall, it's been years since i read it, but as demonstrated with ed crushing father's stone, shattering the stone doesn't burn the souls out. they just fly off into the sky, and hoenheim being able to place souls in the environment for his trap shows that souls can be separated from the stone and the body and still retain their form, so unless marcoh is burning the souls out, he's just releasing them from the bindings.
@@foxfireespresso he said he knows how to both create and destroy the stone. but the stone isn't the souls its just a container, when the stone is destroyed the souls pass on through the gate
I think a point you guys forgot was that Mustang didn't volunteer to exchange his sight for knowledge. He was robbed of his sight. The stone is made and the deed is done. The power of the stone is being used to restore the robbed sight of the leader who is intent on restoring the nation whose souls were used to make that stone. Imo, it was a best use of an unfortunate situation. The stone will produce a good to the people who were harmed.
Incognito they can’t just revive thousands of people, I also don’t think that the fact that the stone is made out of their souls would make it any easier
@@claudiu6387 First of all, "Nazi" is an alternative name for the "Nationalsozialismus" or the National Socialist German Worker's Party. Since Mustang isn't part of this group, he literally cannot be a Nazi. Second of all, I think you meant to say that he's a fascist. None of his character development ever states that he supports giving up individual freedom for the good of the state (which, by the way, is the most common definition of fascism). Next, Mustang was a soldier, trained to obey orders without hesitation. He participated in the Genocide because if he didn't, he'd likely be court-martialed, then imprisoned or executed. Lastly, "healing the Ishvalans" makes no sense. You can't use a philosopher's stone to bring back a culture. But healing Mustang's eyes meant that he was able to carry out his duties and restore Ishval. So, in a sense, the stone WAS used to heal the Ishvalans. Therefore, I declare your point null and void.
Nowhere in the story it was said that using the stone is gonna continue the soul's torments. The soul sacrificed when Ed, Envy and Ling left Gluttony's stomach _thanked_ Ed for being sacrificed. The souls are energy and once gone, they're gone. You are destroying the stone when you use it, it's nothing different from destroying it some other way. They were not only using the stone for a good cause, they were allowing the souls to _fight_ the way Alphonse did against Pride. And Mustang didn't do nothing wrong to get his punishment. It's not anti-ethical at all.
Yeah he did nothing wrong by burning to death thousands of innocent people , he should use the souls of the people he genocided to get his sight back , sound fair
Incognito bruh, That’s probably the best use for it, you keep going around saying this but you do realize that using up the stone is probably better for the souls than just keeping untouched in a random place
Let us not forget Ed’s promise to Winry so long ago: “the next time I make you cry it will be tears of joy”. Also, in the manga, before she tackles the brothers, she says (paraphrasing) “I keep telling you to call before you come over” which is a call back to the first time we see Ed go to Winry for repairs.
What a beautiful journey! I never get tired of rewatching Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, especially with cool people like you guys! That's the beauty of reactions, rediscovering your favorite stories through the eyes of other people, and it's twice the pleasure with such a great crew! For me, FMAB is straight up my favorite story of all time, I even put it above Game Of Thrones, Harry Potter and so on (the only thing that tops it is the LOTR trilogy by Peter Jackson, but that's more for personal reasons than objective ones). Great characters, great stories, great themes, and great lessons ... Everything I aspire my future stories to be! (not sure I will ever reach it, but it's good to aim for the top :D). Thanks again for the ride!!! See you soon for the bloopers!
I'm sorry, but 'nani' ? I would have left the exact same comment (except for the LOTR part, still have to read it all), but about reactions, how amazing FMAB is, not just as an anime but as a STORY, how it is above GOT and all to me, and how I wish the stuff I write will someday reach this level. Just thought it was weird how similar your comment was compared to the one I was about to post. xD
Same here, I've watched a fair few FMAB reactions and I still love it. I'm happy it was one of the first animes I watched and it remains my favourite story between all mediums, whether it be live movies, series, games, books and so forth, I think it's a masterpiece that checks out on so many things that makes a story great. It'd take an essay to probably break it down why, there's so many big to small things it gets right and continuously. I've had my interest in writing my own novels and stories, and FMAB is a big inspiration. Obviously it won't be like it, but there some things I felt FMAB did well that I think is important for a good story. There's one very important thing I feel FMAB made it stand out, and that is that it feels very tightly packed, with things going on all the time, bits of the story unveiled and new mysteries revealed, emotional rollercoasters, conflicts and triumphs coming and going constantly, and each character from side to background playing a role in setting up these scenes to make the world feel rich around the protagonists instead of focusing too much on them.
Eres una leyenda. Yo también considero a Él Señor de los Anillos como lo mejor de la historia, pero por sus libros. Las películas son tremendas, pero es que el libro es algo supremo.
That philosopher's stone is a prison for those souls, there is not purpose on it remaining as a stone that later might be use as who knows what. Mustang is giving those souls a purpose to help their people and rebuild Isvhal. The Elrics didn't want to use a stone to fix their mistake, but Mustang didn't lose his sight by one of his, it was robbed from him. On top of that, he took the responsability of fixing a mistake from the all nation against Ishval. We saw a similar situation when Al used the stone to fight, those souls were grateful.
@@Rolle-vx9ot Judging from his other posts. He seems to think the only reason Roy was at Ishval was cause he was loving doing some ethnic cleansing of his own. Basically: Roys not Ishvallan. Therefore Roy isn't allowed to have anything good happen to him.
@@claudiu6387 You for real are a full time hater 💀 Ik I’m late but you really thought you did something by saying mustang is a nazi 😭 it’s been 2 years hopefully you’ve changed
using the stone is the same argument that al had when he was forced to use it to fight kimbly and pride. the souls are already a stone. their existence is frozen. Al used the stone to save Ishaval and Amestris. and you all were with him then. Why against it now to use it to heal people?
I've never understood that either. If anything it's more humane to use the stones for good reasons like Alphonse did, otherwise the souls trapped within are basically stuck in limbo forever (or someone else will use it for evil intent anyway).
I liked that there is physical changes at the end of the story. Al got his body back and Ed grew taller. Winry and Ed's relationship is easily the best relationship in a shounen battle anime. This is one of my favourite anime of all time probably no.2 after Erased (you guys have to watch that).
Hey guys in regards to mustangs eyesight. Not only will he be helping scars people but remember he's the only person that saw the truth and was forced into it. He didn't choose to break the taboo it was forced upon him. So for that reason I think it's okay to get his eyesight back to help scars people. Food for thought
Also freaking love how OP 4 foreshadows the ending - when Ed and Al run to each other they end up opposite to each other, Ed on the West and Al on the East. Also the first person to appear near Al was Mei and on Ed's side it was Winry (simply another west/east foreshadow or Al x Mei confirmed after all ?)
They did end up together, it is confirmed in the final picture since in the manga Paninya and Garfield didn't appear in it and it is now referred to as the "new Elric's family picture".
Mustang said after he achieved his goal, he and the others would make sure they were put on trial for there part in ishval. Because of that statement, I'm all for him using the stone.
The way I see it is it's probably better for the stone to be used up so the souls can rest in peace. Instead of being stuck in a stone. That's just my 2 cents tho
The speech that Ed gives at the end includes an alternate translation of the first lines of the manga, where Ed has just lost his leg: "Teachings that do not speak of pain have no meaning; for humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return." I really want a synthesis of the two quotes as a poster. Maybe a tattoo.
they're gone gal, there's nothing they could do to revert it, but as there is no going back for the souls, they can at least help their people, by helping the living, the one which will save their people, so Mustang's choice was the right one
Something to be said about using the stone... obviously we can't ask the ishvalans in Marcoh's stone, but the people from xerxes in Hohenheim _did_ agree to be used to save Amestris and fight Father... of course Hohenheim could and did ask, something which isn't possible with non-sentient stones... but if they agreed, it's also _possible,_ at least, that those sacrificed ishvalans would have agreed to help Mustang help their surviving brethren, too... and, the only other possibilities were to leave them trapped in the stone forever (or, rather, until someone with less scruples or knowledge got hold of it and used it for some other purpose), or have Marcoh destroy it (as he did with Envy's)... and we don't know what effect _that_ would have on the trapped souls...
Just so you know, when they're put into a Philosopher's Stone, the souls aren't gone, they're trapped. So using the stone is heavily implied to be mercy killing. Mustang is doing those Ishvalans a favor by having Marcoh heal him.
The end discussion about using the Ishvalan stone is probably similar to the one after WW2. Should the research done unethically just be burned or should it at least be used even if it was obtained in such a horrible manner?
Been having a rough year and last night was one of the worst nights I've had in a minute. This quadruple drop of my most favorite story of all time and getting to experience it with you guys really kinda helped brighten my day a little. Thank you.
i know this react is old but i was missing fmab and started your series just last week and im so so happy you guys watched the whole thing!!!! this story truly has my heart and it continues to give as you rewatch it. there will never be something like fmab again but i hope old and new generations continue to experience this series!
For the last 4 days, I've binge watched you guys reacting to this anime. And for the last 4 days I've had the time of my life. I clicked on that first video without having any prior knowledge as to who you guys were. But I've had so much fun. Thank you Normies.
I don't get why are they so against Mustang using the stone to help the ishvalan. Alphonse used a stone to fight Pride with the excuse that the souls were fighting with him and they (the normies) were so hyped for that, and Hohenheim showed that the souls do have conscience, so They sure would be happy to be usefull.
@@AnuSharma-iz6dn That is the point, Mustang was the one that did wrong to the Ishvalans, so it is proper for Mustang himself to be the one helping the Ishvalans. It's not like he is just doing it for himself, even him recovering his eyes is just so that he could do a better work helping them.
@@yiledutei understand that, and it was the explicit condition Dr. Marcoh stated that Mustang would return the Holy Lands back to Ishval that he gave the stone to Mustang. so i agree that that makes sense, but i think it was distasteful of them that they did not first consult with the Ishvalan relatives/community members of the Ishvalan lives and souls that were stolen and murdered. :(
I stopped watching the reaction for this for a while back when you guys started it, but picked it up recently and did not stop watching. That was a great reaction. Glad you guys loved it.
>don't use the stone Ignoring that he didn't make the sacrifice and is going to restore their people/homeland/religion, they cannot be restored. Using them turns them to energy in the process. They are at peace and used for a good cause. No loose ends about it.
>used to heal the dead Neat suggestion. NOTE: You didn't finish your sentence. Did you have more to add? Perhaps you were going to go on to give your thoughts on why AT made Vegeta undefeated against Goku? Do tell.
YES! That is the feeling you get after watching FmaB. Something I at least have with so few shows that I can probably count them on two hands. When it's over ... it's just satisfying, well-rounded ... wholesome. Every character has their arc and by the end of it, you are in that weird state that you know you'll miss this show and you don't really want it to end, but at the same time it's so wholesome that you're perfectly content with the end anyway and don't even really want a prequel. the perfect show.
It was great to go on this journey with you guys! FMAB is just one of those shows that I appreciate even more, every time I watch it again. I'm really happy to see that you guys enjoyed this show as well. Especially considering how on the fence Chris and kind of Suraj was about it in the beginning. Like Navi said, I would recommend watching the first FMA as well. The beginning of the series actually helps to flesh out the side characters more, and I think goes through the beginning parts really well. The ending was not as satisfying as FMAB, but it definitely was an interesting twist. Definitely going to miss watching this with you guys, but it definitely was a fun ride :)
Guys the only way to destroy a stone is to use it, it's indestructible otherwise. Well, except when Marco did that thing to Envy but that was really vague not exactly sure what happened there.
Exactly. If using up a stone somehow hurt the souls inside it, then it would've been wrong to kill the homunculus. A soul's existence in the Stones is described as a tempest of bitterness and torment (basically they're in hell). At WORST, using a Philosopher's stone is putting those trapped souls out of their misery. Outside of that, there's at least a chance those souls can rest in peace, and go to whatever afterlife there is in the FMA universe
I don't know if they noticed, but the pose in the last photo with the children is the same one as the photos of them with their parents in the old photo....except Edward isn't crying.
As always with FMAB, from beginning to end, it was one hell of an emotional yet beautiful ride. A masterpiece! And I'm so glad that I took this journey again with you guys :)
@@sadekmiah3122 I'm actually not watching much newer shows at the moment, or any old ones. There's a few though but it's limited to anime like AoT (waiting for it to come back), Rising of the Shield Hero, and The Promised Neverland but that's about it. What's your recommendations?
@@lalalalisa41I was only looking for anime anyway. Not really watching anything now just Spice and Wolf. But I highly recommend Erased, Steins; Gate, Assassination Classroom, Parasyte, Deathnote and Dororo. Some are quite popular so you probably have seen them already.
I only started watching Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood last year because of your reaction to the first episode, and now you've introduced me to a world of anime that would otherwise have been left undiscovered. It's been an absolute treat of a journey and I'm glad I was with you all the way. Thank you so much for your reactions and reviews (and FMA:B's appearance in your skit!). I hope to embark on more journeys just like this one with you.
Man what a finale. It's been so much fun watching this series all over again with you guys and I'm so glad you enjoyed it as much as I do! Thank you so much for watching it with us! Oh! A few things: -Mustang didn't have the stache in the manga, so it doesn't have to be considered canon in your minds. -The family portrait at the end is titled, "Elric Family Portrait" as an homage to the first with Ed, Al, Trisha and Hoenheim -In the manga, Paninya and Garfiel actually weren't in the picture, that's a nice anime only addition! -Since Mei and Xiao Mei are included in the family photo, it's implied she and Al actually do wind up together -The last photo of Ed smiling by the train is meant to directly reflect Hoenheim; given the trench coat and suitcase and their general appearances, only Ed is happy whereas Hoenheim was haunted by his "curse"!
Man when I finished this show nothing could compare for a long time. It is still my number 1 anime. I remember when you guys started this knowing you would love it, and what a ride it has been. Thanks for everything.
Watch the bloopers! Also if you think back to the first episode with Isaac McDougal the ice alchemist trying to freeze central and he was trying to save the country. He totally knew what was going down and was trying to stop it 😂 not that his way of doing it was right but it was funny that he was actually trying to save people in his own way the entire time.
I really don't get why people hate using philsophers stones. The souls are trapped already. If they don't get used they're trapped for all eternity. We have no way to get them back. Literally every one we've ever seen "used" for energy has expressed gratitude
What a wonderful end to a series and what a wonderful ride it has been watching your reactions to it :) It seriously made my weeks so much better just knowing there's always going to be dropping a new reaction from you guys and I really can't thank you enough. I hope you are reacting to the Bloopers, and if you guys would be willing to take the time, it would also be absolutely awesome if you reacted to the 4 OVAs of the show. 2 of them are short and great and 2 of them are an absolute must watch, like a normal and awesome episode which fill in a few more gaps. Nonetheless, thank you again for this amazing journey.
I AGREE WITH THE PERSON WITH THE LOUISE HAT. YES. Thank you! The stone's fate should have been decided by Ishvalans, not Dr. Marcoh or Roy or whomever from Amestris. They should have just given the stone back to Ishvalan people and the Ishvalans would decide what to do with it. I don't understand why that wasn't the logical option. There are Ishvalan people who have clearly been maimed and hurt by Amestris and the genocide, so why is Roy any more deserving than Ishvalan people? IMO it is actually offensive for him, someone who carried out genocide, to use a stone made up of relatives and community members of those he killed.
Envy died envying the humans Wrath with a peaceful look in his face Lust died burned and disfigured Gluttony died eaten Greed dies sacrificing everything for others Pride "dies" and is reduced to just a kid. Sloth dies for the amount of effort he did that caused him to over use his philosopher stone.
Thank you for watching this anime. It’s been a joy to watch your reactions. FMA:B is IMO the greatest anime of all time. Legendary for its storytelling and character development. Also for having one of the best dubs of all time.
Ed and al can't use the stone because they freely choose to open the portal. Mustang was forced so it only makes since for him to get his payment back, also he is a high ranking official who has to deal with assassination attempts. He will 100% need his eyes literally and physically see ishval back at 100%. Do u want Hawkeye to be a nurse instead of a queen? Cause Armstrong sister is ready to steal that throne from a blind man, she don't care. He didn't open the portal, or make the stone and all he wants to do is help ishval.
My all time favorite anime! it’s just so satisfying and puts you through literally every emotion maaaaan. I tear up every time I watch the end of the last two episodes😭😭
Normies, I thank you. If it weren’t for your reactions, I would never have known about this gem of an anime! It’s always sad to see FMA Brotherhood end after watching it all over again, but it’s easier with how satisfying the ending is. Now I intend rewatch your full reactions on Patreon eventually. Thanks again Normies, look forward to the rest of your videos
What makes this show so emotional to me is how they handle every single death. Whether it's the villains, side characters, or even the human sacrifices for Philosopher's Stone; every life has value to the Elric family. This is why we as viewers and the adults in the show get behind them because they will sacrifice themselves rather than hurt others. Their bodies are metal, but they represent the best of the humanities.
I can totally see why Mustang getting his eyes back with the stone is a problem for some people but the reason why i feel like it's ok for HIM is because he was forced to open the portal unlike everybody else so he didn't had the choice.
You can't destroy a philosophers stone without using it up. So basically if you don't use the stone the souls will continue to suffer. Also Mustang wouldn't have been able to become Furor while blind. Furor is a military position and Mustang would have been discharged due to his "injury". Using the stone to give Mustang his eyesight back is the best thing for Marco to do with it.
I understand why people dont like Mustang decission but I dont think it is wrong because he didnt make the stone and the souls in that stone cannot turn back to their bodies. The damage is allready done so use it to do some good.
One thing you learn from watching Chris is that even if you're wrong then you're right if you just sound confident while saying it. Always amuses me hehe.

Also, in the manga, before she tackles the brothers, she says (paraphrasing) “I keep telling you to call before you come over” which is a call back to the first time we see Ed go to Winry for repairs.

Great characters, great stories, great themes, and great lessons ... Everything I aspire my future stories to be! (not sure I will ever reach it, but it's good to aim for the top :D). Thanks again for the ride!!! See you soon for the bloopers!
100 % agreed with literally everything you wrote. Best story of all time indeed.
I'm sorry, but 'nani' ?
I would have left the exact same comment (except for the LOTR part, still have to read it all), but about reactions, how amazing FMAB is, not just as an anime but as a STORY, how it is above GOT and all to me, and how I wish the stuff I write will someday reach this level.
Just thought it was weird how similar your comment was compared to the one I was about to post. xD
Same here, I've watched a fair few FMAB reactions and I still love it. I'm happy it was one of the first animes I watched and it remains my favourite story between all mediums, whether it be live movies, series, games, books and so forth, I think it's a masterpiece that checks out on so many things that makes a story great. It'd take an essay to probably break it down why, there's so many big to small things it gets right and continuously.
I've had my interest in writing my own novels and stories, and FMAB is a big inspiration. Obviously it won't be like it, but there some things I felt FMAB did well that I think is important for a good story. There's one very important thing I feel FMAB made it stand out, and that is that it feels very tightly packed, with things going on all the time, bits of the story unveiled and new mysteries revealed, emotional rollercoasters, conflicts and triumphs coming and going constantly, and each character from side to background playing a role in setting up these scenes to make the world feel rich around the protagonists instead of focusing too much on them.
FMAB is one of the animes that I have seen a bunch of times.
Eres una leyenda. Yo también considero a Él Señor de los Anillos como lo mejor de la historia, pero por sus libros. Las películas son tremendas, pero es que el libro es algo supremo.
Actually Mustang doesn't have a mustache, Ed just drew the picture and send it to bother him 😂 this was an amazing journey guys! Thank you so much 💙
Lmaooo i js found that out today
That philosopher's stone is a prison for those souls, there is not purpose on it remaining as a stone that later might be use as who knows what. Mustang is giving those souls a purpose to help their people and rebuild Isvhal.
The Elrics didn't want to use a stone to fix their mistake, but Mustang didn't lose his sight by one of his, it was robbed from him. On top of that, he took the responsability of fixing a mistake from the all nation against Ishval.
We saw a similar situation when Al used the stone to fight, those souls were grateful.
Ed never genocided thousands of innocent people from what I know like Mustang did. He should have remained blind
Incognito bruh, Mustang didn’t even choose to loose his sight, he was forced to do it, why do you hate mustang so much?
@@Rolle-vx9ot Judging from his other posts. He seems to think the only reason Roy was at Ishval was cause he was loving doing some ethnic cleansing of his own.
Basically: Roys not Ishvallan. Therefore Roy isn't allowed to have anything good happen to him.
@@claudiu6387 You for real are a full time hater 💀 Ik I’m late but you really thought you did something by saying mustang is a nazi 😭 it’s been 2 years hopefully you’ve changed
using the stone is the same argument that al had when he was forced to use it to fight kimbly and pride. the souls are already a stone. their existence is frozen. Al used the stone to save Ishaval and Amestris. and you all were with him then. Why against it now to use it to heal people?
Kevin Parmar Edward too, he used the souls that was inside envy, to come back from gluttony’s stomach.... so Edward is a ass hole. Lol
Kevin Parmar he shouldn’t have been able to heal his eyes anyway
I've never understood that either. If anything it's more humane to use the stones for good reasons like Alphonse did, otherwise the souls trapped within are basically stuck in limbo forever (or someone else will use it for evil intent anyway).
@@joewall8210 why? the stones bypass the Bullshit of equivalent exchange
@@Hoenhime344 how
The fact Chris saw lan fan in the picture made my night, for some reason everyone always misses that.
I liked that there is physical changes at the end of the story. Al got his body back and Ed grew taller. Winry and Ed's relationship is easily the best relationship in a shounen battle anime.
This is one of my favourite anime of all time probably no.2 after Erased (you guys have to watch that).
FMAB isn't shounen.
@@siwus333 it is tho. It's mature, yes. Doesn't mean it's not a shonen/nekketsu.
@@siwus333 It is shounen though.
@@siwus333 it is lol
Ed & Winry or Yusuke & Keiko not sure
Ed's monologue at the end always makes me emotional.. What a great series.
Also.. *Watch the Blooper Reel!!*
Hey guys in regards to mustangs eyesight. Not only will he be helping scars people but remember he's the only person that saw the truth and was forced into it. He didn't choose to break the taboo it was forced upon him. So for that reason I think it's okay to get his eyesight back to help scars people. Food for thought
He genocided thousands of innocent people , he doesn't deserve his sight back
Incognito still going?
Also freaking love how OP 4 foreshadows the ending - when Ed and Al run to each other they end up opposite to each other, Ed on the West and Al on the East. Also the first person to appear near Al was Mei and on Ed's side it was Winry (simply another west/east foreshadow or Al x Mei confirmed after all ?)
I mean. clearly they are a thing according to the end credit new elric family pic
They did end up together, it is confirmed in the final picture since in the manga Paninya and Garfield didn't appear in it and it is now referred to as the "new Elric's family picture".
Actually, here it is: images4.fanpop.com/image/photos/22300000/My-favorite-EdWin-manga-moments-edward-elric-and-winry-rockbell-22374463-1200-861.jpg

Avatar: The Last Airbender is on par with FMAB. Only show actually. Character development in that show was insane.
everyone has their own opinion
16:25 The dorkiest, but adorable confession ever
Mustang said after he achieved his goal, he and the others would make sure they were put on trial for there part in ishval. Because of that statement, I'm all for him using the stone.
He was never punished for his crimes. He knew that after decens and after he saved the country and rebuild Ishval , he will be forgiven.
The way I see it is it's probably better for the stone to be used up so the souls can rest in peace. Instead of being stuck in a stone. That's just my 2 cents tho
Same, I'd rather them used it to heal rather than let it stay a stone or destroy it for nothing.
The speech that Ed gives at the end includes an alternate translation of the first lines of the manga, where Ed has just lost his leg:
"Teachings that do not speak of pain have no meaning; for humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return."
I really want a synthesis of the two quotes as a poster.
Maybe a tattoo.
they're gone gal, there's nothing they could do to revert it, but as there is no going back for the souls, they can at least help their people, by helping the living, the one which will save their people, so Mustang's choice was the right one
hey guys, thank you for this, it was a solid ride
I swear suraj is not failing a joke recently 😂 I died at "Shoppiiing!“
It's not as if the souls aren't still trapped in the stone, atleast, they're being used for something.
Just as envy said. Leaving them in that state is worse than using them
Something to be said about using the stone... obviously we can't ask the ishvalans in Marcoh's stone, but the people from xerxes in Hohenheim _did_ agree to be used to save Amestris and fight Father... of course Hohenheim could and did ask, something which isn't possible with non-sentient stones... but if they agreed, it's also _possible,_ at least, that those sacrificed ishvalans would have agreed to help Mustang help their surviving brethren, too... and, the only other possibilities were to leave them trapped in the stone forever (or, rather, until someone with less scruples or knowledge got hold of it and used it for some other purpose), or have Marcoh destroy it (as he did with Envy's)... and we don't know what effect _that_ would have on the trapped souls...
Just so you know, when they're put into a Philosopher's Stone, the souls aren't gone, they're trapped. So using the stone is heavily implied to be mercy killing. Mustang is doing those Ishvalans a favor by having Marcoh heal him.
The souls don’t have a body to return to, so yes using the stone to help rebuild Ishval is in fact a mercy killing and for the greater good.
The end discussion about using the Ishvalan stone is probably similar to the one after WW2. Should the research done unethically just be burned or should it at least be used even if it was obtained in such a horrible manner?
Phireo well i know modern scientific/medical doctrines have rules about citing illegal/inhumane sources such as Nazi and WW2 Japanese war research.
Been having a rough year and last night was one of the worst nights I've had in a minute. This quadruple drop of my most favorite story of all time and getting to experience it with you guys really kinda helped brighten my day a little.
Thank you.
Perfect ending but it makes you want more
i know this react is old but i was missing fmab and started your series just last week and im so so happy you guys watched the whole thing!!!! this story truly has my heart and it continues to give as you rewatch it. there will never be something like fmab again but i hope old and new generations continue to experience this series!
Holy shit, there is a hardcover artbook with the manga illustrations? I already have the complete box set of the manga series, but need this now.
This is in my top 3 favorite shows of all time, I'm so glad I got to share the journey again with y'all!
For the last 4 days, I've binge watched you guys reacting to this anime. And for the last 4 days I've had the time of my life. I clicked on that first video without having any prior knowledge as to who you guys were. But I've had so much fun. Thank you Normies.
18:47 "THEY DID IT!!"
Some fans say that Ed is happy in that picture because he finally got laid... at least twice. 😂
Yet another brilliant journey. Thanks for that guys. I always love seeing people enjoy this great show. :D
Blooper Reel next please!!!!!
I don't get why are they so against Mustang using the stone to help the ishvalan. Alphonse used a stone to fight Pride with the excuse that the souls were fighting with him and they (the normies) were so hyped for that, and Hohenheim showed that the souls do have conscience, so They sure would be happy to be usefull.
Mustang literally carried out genocide. Al didn't. The stone should have gone back to the Ishvalans.
@@AnuSharma-iz6dn That is the point, Mustang was the one that did wrong to the Ishvalans, so it is proper for Mustang himself to be the one helping the Ishvalans. It's not like he is just doing it for himself, even him recovering his eyes is just so that he could do a better work helping them.
@@yiledutei understand that, and it was the explicit condition Dr. Marcoh stated that Mustang would return the Holy Lands back to Ishval that he gave the stone to Mustang. so i agree that that makes sense, but i think it was distasteful of them that they did not first consult with the Ishvalan relatives/community members of the Ishvalan lives and souls that were stolen and murdered. :(
So now we need MOB PSYCHO 100
^ This.
Yes please. They watched OPM. It's time for the far superior Mob (and Reigen).
You know what we need now?
MORE NARUTO UPLOADS!
YES!
YES YES YES !!! React to Mob Psycho 100 !!!!!!!!
I binge watched y'all's entire reaction to the entire series and I gotta say, it's my absolute favorite 💜💜💜💜 You guys are awesome!
I stopped watching the reaction for this for a while back when you guys started it, but picked it up recently and did not stop watching. That was a great reaction. Glad you guys loved it.
A heart made full-freaking-metal!!!! What a series and it’s been an honour watching with you guys!!
Ed made The best proposal and anime history.
Truly one of the strongest stories in fiction. What a ride from beginning to end.
>don't use the stone
Ignoring that he didn't make the sacrifice and is going to restore their people/homeland/religion, they cannot be restored. Using them turns them to energy in the process. They are at peace and used for a good cause. No loose ends about it.
He genocided thousands of innocent people , the stone should be used to heal ishvaliens , not nazis
>used to heal the dead
Neat suggestion.
NOTE: You didn't finish your sentence. Did you have more to add? Perhaps you were going to go on to give your thoughts on why AT made Vegeta undefeated against Goku? Do tell.
BigVEE I’m pretty sure the stone wouldn’t be able to revive the dead though, I feel like if you could do that Hughes would be still here
@@Rolle-vx9ot You confuse my mocking jest for sincerity.
BigVEE Yeah I knew you were mocking that guy, he’s been going around saying the same crap to everyone
Such a wholesome episode no matter how many times I watch it.
lmao the lady talking about killing a baby shouldn't even mention ethics
>Killing babies is OK.
>He is not an Ishvalan, he has no right to use that stone.
Like what the hell, is she a left wing activist or what?
lol i love market value. but she can get a lil wacky leftist at times. shes great though!
@@naphackDT LOL
Went from chuckling at your comment to outright laughing at your username. That is clever, man
That baby is a reincarnated demon!
Next you should watch Code Geass. This will be sick as heck.
It's best
FMAB is definitely one of the best anime I've ever watched. The beginning and end of the series are especially strong. I'd give it a 9.5/10.
YES! That is the feeling you get after watching FmaB. Something I at least have with so few shows that I can probably count them on two hands.
When it's over ... it's just satisfying, well-rounded ... wholesome. Every character has their arc and by the end of it, you are in that weird state that you know you'll miss this show and you don't really want it to end, but at the same time it's so wholesome that you're perfectly content with the end anyway and don't even really want a prequel.
the perfect show.
It was great to go on this journey with you guys! FMAB is just one of those shows that I appreciate even more, every time I watch it again. I'm really happy to see that you guys enjoyed this show as well. Especially considering how on the fence Chris and kind of Suraj was about it in the beginning. Like Navi said, I would recommend watching the first FMA as well. The beginning of the series actually helps to flesh out the side characters more, and I think goes through the beginning parts really well. The ending was not as satisfying as FMAB, but it definitely was an interesting twist.
Definitely going to miss watching this with you guys, but it definitely was a fun ride :)
Guys the only way to destroy a stone is to use it, it's indestructible otherwise. Well, except when Marco did that thing to Envy but that was really vague not exactly sure what happened there.
Exactly. If using up a stone somehow hurt the souls inside it, then it would've been wrong to kill the homunculus. A soul's existence in the Stones is described as a tempest of bitterness and torment (basically they're in hell).
At WORST, using a Philosopher's stone is putting those trapped souls out of their misery. Outside of that, there's at least a chance those souls can rest in peace, and go to whatever afterlife there is in the FMA universe
Best anime of all time in my opinion. There is no anime I’ve found that’s made me cry,love,laugh, and learn as much as this series has.
I don't know if they noticed, but the pose in the last photo with the children is the same one as the photos of them with their parents in the old photo....except Edward isn't crying.
Edward proposing to Winry is literally the cutest thing.
As always with FMAB, from beginning to end, it was one hell of an emotional yet beautiful ride. A masterpiece! And I'm so glad that I took this journey again with you guys :)
I see you on so many channels. You watch a lot of good shows like Avatar, HxH and FMAB.
@@sadekmiah3122 Yeah, I get that a lot lol :)
@@lalalalisa41 You got any recommendations for shows to watch? I can give you some too.
@@sadekmiah3122 I'm actually not watching much newer shows at the moment, or any old ones. There's a few though but it's limited to anime like AoT (waiting for it to come back), Rising of the Shield Hero, and The Promised Neverland but that's about it. What's your recommendations?
@@lalalalisa41I was only looking for anime anyway.
Not really watching anything now just Spice and Wolf. But I highly recommend Erased, Steins; Gate, Assassination Classroom, Parasyte, Deathnote and Dororo.
Some are quite popular so you probably have seen them already.
YAYYYYY!!!
What a journey. I've watched those last few episodes so many times but they still get me in the feels. Absolute masterpiece!!
Is it just me or is the audio not synched up around 3:10
me too, audio is not sync
Yea it's not synced right
Yeah its the video
Oh thank god! I was worried something was wrong with my soundbar.
beautiful journey with you guys right from the start..thank you guys!
Crazy journey, cant believe its finally over, loved rewatching it with you guys
I only started watching Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood last year because of your reaction to the first episode, and now you've introduced me to a world of anime that would otherwise have been left undiscovered. It's been an absolute treat of a journey and I'm glad I was with you all the way. Thank you so much for your reactions and reviews (and FMA:B's appearance in your skit!). I hope to embark on more journeys just like this one with you.
Now come the flood of comments requesting/demanding them to watch the blooper episode. That episode is pure gold though.
Man what a finale. It's been so much fun watching this series all over again with you guys and I'm so glad you enjoyed it as much as I do! Thank you so much for watching it with us!
Oh! A few things:
-Mustang didn't have the stache in the manga, so it doesn't have to be considered canon in your minds.
-The family portrait at the end is titled, "Elric Family Portrait" as an homage to the first with Ed, Al, Trisha and Hoenheim
-In the manga, Paninya and Garfiel actually weren't in the picture, that's a nice anime only addition!
-Since Mei and Xiao Mei are included in the family photo, it's implied she and Al actually do wind up together
-The last photo of Ed smiling by the train is meant to directly reflect Hoenheim; given the trench coat and suitcase and their general appearances, only Ed is happy whereas Hoenheim was haunted by his "curse"!
Man when I finished this show nothing could compare for a long time. It is still my number 1 anime. I remember when you guys started this knowing you would love it, and what a ride it has been. Thanks for everything.
Thank you guys so much for doing these reactions. It's like I am a teenager watching these with my friends again.
I just want to say thank you 🙏 for this great reaction I had a lot of fun and thank you for dropping these last 4 videos together
12:05 *Let's bring mom back*
Your expressions @18:44 say it all! I really enjoyed watching your reactions to this show. You four were great fun to watch it with!
I love how the guy shout: they did it they finally did it" its was really my reaction at that 7 years ago🤩🤩😂😂 such an good anime.
THANK you guys for reacting. It was a nice weekly experience :D
Can't wait to see what's next.
Watch the bloopers! Also if you think back to the first episode with Isaac McDougal the ice alchemist trying to freeze central and he was trying to save the country. He totally knew what was going down and was trying to stop it 😂 not that his way of doing it was right but it was funny that he was actually trying to save people in his own way the entire time.
I really don't get why people hate using philsophers stones. The souls are trapped already. If they don't get used they're trapped for all eternity. We have no way to get them back. Literally every one we've ever seen "used" for energy has expressed gratitude
Use the stones to heal the oppressed minority rathen than the nazi who killed thousands of innocent people
thank you for these reactions, they were truly amazing :)
This was such a great journey with the normies I enjoyed every minute of it thank y'all for being so cool
PLEASE, Watch the 2003 version! I feel like ya'll would have fun comparing and contrasting.
Yes, that would be fun. After beginning to see how everything is different. And even the beginning is different.
What a wonderful end to a series and what a wonderful ride it has been watching your reactions to it :)
It seriously made my weeks so much better just knowing there's always going to be dropping a new reaction from you guys and I really can't thank you enough.
I hope you are reacting to the Bloopers, and if you guys would be willing to take the time, it would also be absolutely awesome if you reacted to the 4 OVAs of the show. 2 of them are short and great and 2 of them are an absolute must watch, like a normal and awesome episode which fill in a few more gaps.
Nonetheless, thank you again for this amazing journey.
I AGREE WITH THE PERSON WITH THE LOUISE HAT. YES. Thank you! The stone's fate should have been decided by Ishvalans, not Dr. Marcoh or Roy or whomever from Amestris. They should have just given the stone back to Ishvalan people and the Ishvalans would decide what to do with it. I don't understand why that wasn't the logical option. There are Ishvalan people who have clearly been maimed and hurt by Amestris and the genocide, so why is Roy any more deserving than Ishvalan people? IMO it is actually offensive for him, someone who carried out genocide, to use a stone made up of relatives and community members of those he killed.
Envy died envying the humans
Wrath with a peaceful look in his face
Lust died burned and disfigured
Gluttony died eaten
Greed dies sacrificing everything for others
Pride "dies" and is reduced to just a kid.
Sloth dies for the amount of effort he did that caused him to over use his philosopher stone.
Thank you for watching this anime. It’s been a joy to watch your reactions. FMA:B is IMO the greatest anime of all time. Legendary for its storytelling and character development. Also for having one of the best dubs of all time.
Ed and al can't use the stone because they freely choose to open the portal. Mustang was forced so it only makes since for him to get his payment back, also he is a high ranking official who has to deal with assassination attempts. He will 100% need his eyes literally and physically see ishval back at 100%. Do u want Hawkeye to be a nurse instead of a queen? Cause Armstrong sister is ready to steal that throne from a blind man, she don't care. He didn't open the portal, or make the stone and all he wants to do is help ishval.
Thank you Fullmetal Four! I enjoyed every second of this awesome ride!
0^0 When I watched 61 ep reaction... it's already all of them. what. surprise 0^0

They've continuously said stupid crap like this over and over again. Especially marketa who has a naive view on things.

Love Ed and baby Ed’s cheesy smiles, these boys deserved it after all the hardship they endured, loved this series one of my all time favorites 👏⚡️⚡️
Thanks for this ride again guys! One hell of a journey, such a great story!
My all time favorite anime! it’s just so satisfying and puts you through literally every emotion maaaaan. I tear up every time I watch the end of the last two episodes😭😭
Normies, I thank you. If it weren’t for your reactions, I would never have known about this gem of an anime! It’s always sad to see FMA Brotherhood end after watching it all over again, but it’s easier with how satisfying the ending is. Now I intend rewatch your full reactions on Patreon eventually. Thanks again Normies, look forward to the rest of your videos
What makes this show so emotional to me is how they handle every single death. Whether it's the villains, side characters, or even the human sacrifices for Philosopher's Stone; every life has value to the Elric family. This is why we as viewers and the adults in the show get behind them because they will sacrifice themselves rather than hurt others. Their bodies are metal, but they represent the best of the humanities.
The ova episodes of fullmetal alchemist are actually pretty cool
I can totally see why Mustang getting his eyes back with the stone is a problem for some people but the reason why i feel like it's ok for HIM is because he was forced to open the portal unlike everybody else so he didn't had the choice.
You can't destroy a philosophers stone without using it up. So basically if you don't use the stone the souls will continue to suffer. Also Mustang wouldn't have been able to become Furor while blind. Furor is a military position and Mustang would have been discharged due to his "injury". Using the stone to give Mustang his eyesight back is the best thing for Marco to do with it.
Use the stones to heal the oppressed minority rathen than the nazi who killed thousands of innocent people
I understand why people dont like Mustang decission but I dont think it is wrong because he didnt make the stone and the souls in that stone cannot turn back to their bodies. The damage is allready done so use it to do some good.
One thing you learn from watching Chris is that even if you're wrong then you're right if you just sound confident while saying it. Always amuses me hehe.
