also Minor Grip but why the Hell did they Preserve Fuhrer Bradley's Reputation Post Revolution??!
Whilst Simultaneously attempting to "Make amends with Ishval"
That's the equivalent of Israeli's Immortalising Netanyahu post-Oct7 and telling palestinians they want to execute the two-state solution
Seriously, that's just make-believe, If Ishvalans were Resisting Occupation Pre-Genocide, how could they accept that?
and don't even get me started on the Selim Resurrection but good asspull.

Listen Unc, Maybe you grew up watching this or something but It's not as good as these basedlennials give it credit for
Cool anime but let's stop acting like it's Peak anything, It's very shallow, just look at the occult themes throughout the show for example, they're extremely exoteric in portrayal like Eva (which is Basedlennial Slop I'm sure you enjoy Faggot) and surface level without any depth
Compare that Togashi's (Mason) HXH which is actually esoteric
that's just one aspect of the wider story
I can compare it in everyway to Other anime and how it did it Great but inferior in comparison

>>288879998
Cope.
Dororo is Better than FMAB
HXH is Better than FMAB
Cowboy Bebop is Better than FMAB
just to list a few
>>288880003
No.

I knew this would get uncs mad but you have to accept the reality folks, It's just now as good as you faggots claim, the glaze is crazy and I liked the show.

>>288879824
I'll do it. I'll call it bad. There were a couple things I thought were okay but the final cour was absolute shit, so fucking boring. Only good parts of the series was the SoL stuff.

>>288879824
It's better than Huntah by virtue of being a complete work. Simple as.

>>288880062
You're not actually a young person, you're just shitposting using these buzzwords. It's the same shitposts you always make but with awkward youth slang to be more annoying.

Garbage thread, OP is an underage retard

>>288880075
I wouldn't say it's Bad or boring by any means imo but the final arcs were dissapointing imo (I came in with Mighty Expectations thoughbeit) I did enjoy the SoL stuff, I dont want anyone to get the wrong IDea not a troon who hates everything Good on this earth but I have a theory that it's the SOL Themes that give the Masses a rose-tinted view of these shows which hyperinflates the rating
Same reason Frieren is Beloved beyond belief as Peak even though it's good but let's be real.
surprised to see someone with this take though, look at the reaction I'm getting saying it's not the holy grail, just watch your back blvd these freaks might maim you for this opinion.

>>288880087
retarded take and you don't even believe in this standard and don't apply it to your fav

>>288880120
> Faggot just saying anything
I'm going to watch the 2k ver cause It seems cooler (Scar apparently doesn't get defanged) I'm interested in a Bradley representing Pride
also I'm not counting this anime out
maybe I just prefer the older ver
Same way I really enjoy the original HXH Adaptation

>>288880339
>>288880150
I've gtg thru the archives after this, thought I was alone, then again, there's nothing new under the sun.

>>288880186
I just feel like alot of stuff was not expounded upon
desu missed opportunity and they had plenty of time for it, Xerxes = Indoaryans the Predecessors to Amestrian Alchemy, Drachma being Russia and fittingly having dogshit war strategy was funny though, There was so much opportunity to give us an ounce of worldbuilding but just refused

>>288880318
I think OP is a 40 year old retard using youth slang to shitpost, but yeah it's the same garbage thread as gets spammed every day

>>288880339
>retarded take and you don't even believe in this standard and don't apply it to your fav
It's not. Huntah is going to abruptly be unfinished forever and pretending otherwise is coping. We might be five fucking years away from Gon even making his way back into the plot lmao.

It's impossible to overstate how much an ending matters to a narrative.

>>288880362
Yeah, I guess I'd say it was a pretty interesting world, but terrible storytelling and no real reason to care about most of the characters. Same problem I have with AoT, although I'd say AoT is worse than FMA:B at least.

>>288879824
>IMHO, Hunter x Hunter is a More Indepth & Greater Story, from It's Plot, to Character Development, Nuance, Magick System & Esoteric Undertones.
Stopped taking the post seriously as soon as I read this. And I even agree with the premise.

> it's the same garbage thread as gets spammed every day
Really?
I've really never seen anyone call FMAB anything other than Absolute Peak on Socials
Swear to God this is my first Thread on /A
only other threads I've ever made on Media is on /tv about Under the Silver Lake and DOnnie Darko
I don't make threads on Media let alone Tranime which I've kinda matured past

>>288880385
ok blvd

>>288880395
Ok that's more reasonable, I don't think the issue is the viewers not having a reason to care for the characters (they grew on me, esp Mustang & Hawkeye)
but there not being any reason to buy their convictions, it's capeshit level the way they just falter in the face of their objectives because "Muh morals I just affirm this instant"

>>288880432
WHAT IS WITH THE HXH SLANDER
Maybe I'm missing something since I watched it growing up ? (2011 ver) but I don't think it warrants even a fraction of the slander It's received ITT

This is the same old man that was pretending to be a zoomer in the archive the other day

>>288880580
shit there's no /a section on 4plebs
Where can I go to see this shitposter all you fags are seething about? or is it just lost, gen curious cause I haven't seen anyone criticise this, the praise it gets is immense, even frieren get's more pushback.

>>288879866
nobody has addressed this
was the ending just rushed
also is the 2k adaptation better in terms of the ending (no spoilers please)

>>288880339
>look at the reaction I'm getting saying it's not the holy grail, just watch your back blvd these freaks might maim you for this opinion.
The fuck I care if somebody disagrees with me. I'll just bully them. All FMA:B faggots deserve to get bullied. Stop being so sensitive and demanding validation from other people. Like what you like, hate what you hate. Who gives a shit?
>>288880524
Threads about FMA:B aren't spammed at all. They're very rare because nobody here really cares about that show, or they think it's shit like I do and just ignore it. There might be some retards who get triggered if you don't like it, but they're too busy spamming Frieren hate threads to actually make threads defending the crap they do like.
I do kinda think you don't know what you're doing here and should probably go back. /a/ doesn't care about "other socials" or MAL scores or any of that. Your thread here is really out of place (even if you're right that FMA:B is overrated by normalfags) and you're making it really obvious. If you like HxH, why not just make a thread about that and find other people who like it. Stop worrying so much about what other people "on socials" have to say about a crappy, poorly-written shounen. It's really unimportant.

>>288880690
> /a/ doesn't care about "other socials" or MAL scores or any of that.
Yet they react similarly to normalfags
> If you like HxH, why not just make a thread about that and find other people who like it.
I haven't watched it since the first viewing growing up desu, I haven't read the Manga because I don't read manga outside a handful of exceptions sparsley at a snails pace
I just made this thread because of the acclaim for FMA which remains after so long, using Hunter only comparatively since they're similar in themes, acclaim and not having filler
by no means is this meant to be a thread shitting on FMA and Glazing HXH (again something I haven't seen in years0
I just wanted somewhere to share my thoughts
since I don't use socials for this & mainly browse /X
equivalent of ranting to a homeless fent addict
because why not

>>288880925
>mainly browse /X

HxH has one bad arc and inconsistencies. Fma has none of that; it's acclaimed because it doesn't really have any notable flaws, it's a well-written story. Whether you find it sufficient is debatable; many criticize the ending or say it's too simple. It's inoffensive, easy to understand, and well-made; that's why anyone can appreciate it and watch it effortlessly. It's that simple, there's nothing more to it. Now time to watch another show

what does /a think of Ergo Proxy
I'm watching NHK too got 4 eps left
and 3 eps left of Ergo
Really enjoying it
On socials it's seen as pretentious & Shallow and while I see where it comes from I disagree, it's not easily to follow through with the story but the characters are great aswell as the world building, I'm going through 2k animes I've never watched and they seemed to have put a lot more effort in the stories back then
It doesn't look like we're ever returning to that, atleast to the degree they were churning out kino in the 2000's
Now it's just about flashy images, aura and hype moments, instant gratification, it has it's place but without substance it's just sad.

By this Standard, wouldn't Capeshit like Invincible be the best show ever then
My issue isn't that people think it's a good show
Rather it's the claim that it's the "Greatest anime ever" and those who claim that, never call it the greatest show ever, meaning the specifically think FMA is the Peak of the Medium & frankly that's absurd.

>>288881265
Ergo Proxy is very good but requires attention. All pretentious anime earned that title because they require attention and can't be watched while scrolling through tiktok and eating popcorn. NHK is also a good anime. If you want action with substance, there's stuff like Madoka, though not much.
>>288881265
Invincible isn't well-written and the animation is garbage. Fma does everything well enough to stand out and everyone can enjoy it. And I did see people considering it the best show, although most normalfaggots still think that foreign shows, especially animated ones, can't surpass the top 5 popular American shows. People who respect the medium don't usually consider it the best, but they do consider it quite good; it has good writing. Other anime that normalfaggots defend as top 3 are Shingeki or CSM, so you get an idea about the reliability of their opinions. People in general don't think much, which is why popular opinion tends to be quite bland, and that's fine; everyone can enjoy what they want as long as they don't hurt others.

>>288879824
>>288881111
>>288881367
I went through the Archives & Just saw someone compare FMA to ATLA and I understand it Now.
I concede everything, from the Praise (which is tied to Nostalgia) to the Simplicity, I suppose I just came in expecting More because of the Acclaim which Itself originates from watching this show when it was Fresh.

Invincible is Slop, CSM is Unbearable (Stopped caring after Himeno died) & I stopped watching AOT RIght after the Rumbling, My headcanon is that the Yeagerists rule Paradis in Peace & Floch marries Yelena and they have children

also I want to hurt others, that's my life goal anon

Too hard to keep up the zoomer act so back to regular shitposting

>>288881265
>Rather it's the claim that it's the "Greatest anime ever" and those who claim that
Not here, though. Nobody here does that. Your argument is with people "on socials" not with /a/.

>>288879866
>Hey everyone just so you know our former king was a demon serving an immortal being who tried to kill everybody on the planet so they could become god
>Okay go back to your normal lives now
This will surely not cause any issues

>>288882697
Ok If I'm being charitable, you Could argue coming out straight up would cause chaos like in that first arc with the religious scam but once Mustang's Allies solidfy Power, there's No reason to Not come out with the Truth, At the very least the moral thing would to be subetly altering the History Books
I really don't see how it's a defendable move to just Immortalise the genocider when the whole show is about redemption and Moral Ideals about pragmatism except the part when it Matters LOL
this is probably the biggest narrative gripe for me even though as I've said here: >>288881494
I've given the show more leway with this newfound prespective

>>288879824
You know why people call avatar the greatest cartoon? Or why Frieren is also so high rated (despite being far from the best anime all time)? Because it
>appeals to both casuals and some elitists/well read people
>has little to no flaws
>has a baseline level of decently high quality

FMA isn’t that unique, crazily well written, ambitious, deep, etc

But it never dips below an 8/10, has no major flaws (characters are decently well written, plot strikes balance between simple and complex, has major payoffs, a decent ending, interesting world building, etc).
And can appeal to newbie anime fans, casuals, people who prefer high brow media , etc.


All of that adds together for it to be the best rated. There are better written series that appeal to less people, more unique or ambitious series that have more flaws due to that uniqueness and ambition, etc.

>>288879824
Why do You Type like This you tremendous Faggot?
I don't even like FMAB so don't even try to deflect. The only people who care about pointless discussions like "best anime ever" are newfags who have seen 20 anime at best, come back when you've seen 300+ your opinions are worthless garbage until then. By then you will hopefully have found out what you like and stop caring about what others think.
"Top anime" are always generally inoffensive shows with mass appeal, nothing more.

>>288879824
thanks Chatgpt

>>288879824
its great

This might be the zoomiest thread I've seen in 2026 kek.

FMA03>FMAB. /thread

>>288879824
FMA isn't widely considered the best anime just the most universal. You put this on for a millennial who thinks anime is weird but likes Avatar the Last Airbender and they'll probably love it
