However, it’s revealed to the viewer that Dante is the big bad almost right after Hohenheim appears the “that person” dialog only starts effecting Ed and Al’s ideas about their dad after the fact. From a plot standpoint, it only serves to throw off whether the ringleader is Hohenheim or someone else. there’s no discernible reason why the homunculi don’t call her by name when talking about her. One of the things I hate the most in anime is when the plot revolves around a mystery that’s only a mystery because it’s a mystery-i.e. I already knew that she was going to be the big bad, but I think that even if I hadn’t, all the scenes wherein the homunculi insist on calling her “that person” and needlessly hide her identity would’ve pissed me off. Starting with what’s on my mind at the moment, there’s Dante, the completely worthless main antagonist.ĭante first appears and is apparently killed unassumingly right at the point where the anime starts to seriously deviate from the manga’s plot (AKA when it starts getting shitty). It’s worth mentioning that I was already spoiled to a lot of the plot points, but I didn’t know how all of it comes together or anything.īecause my thoughts on this shitty ending are so jumbled and plentiful, I’m going to spew them in a somewhat disorganized matter. Now, I finally borrowed the DVDs from a friend and marathoned the show in the past two days. Besides watching the first ten episodes in Japanese a couple of years ago, I didn’t ever watch more of it until Brotherhood. Unfortunately, my family moved before the second half began airing, and we couldn’t afford cable anymore, so I never saw any more of the show. However, it’s not as though I’m experiencing FMA for the first time: I was a big fan of this show when it was airing on Adult Swim in 2005, and had seen the first half (26 episodes) back then. Instead, I went into finishing FMA that way. Here’s information: I never finished FMA before watching Brotherhood, so I didn’t go into Brotherhood with the same feelings about the show that other fans did who already knew one version of the story.
