Plus I had high hopes for this guy, afteral, if Hiromu Arakawa herself liked the guy was was thrilled to have him work on the series, so that was a good sign. The main reason why i’m glad that they changed the composer, was that I felt that much of the soundtrack from the previous series would have been repeated in the remake if they had gotten the same composer, so it’s nice to hear something new. I thought the soundtrack for the first series was quite fitting for FMA, which had a militaristic-feel and other times it sounded just like the kind of music you would find in an old black and white film. I don’t mind this at all, in fact I kinda like the idea they decided to get someone new. As for the BGM, they decided to get a new composer for this series. *YUI fan* The ED is pretty decent too, and I liked the style of animation that was used. I would have posted my thoughts on this sooner, but I wanted to wait for more eps to be released before I did that.įor starters, the opening theme is kick-ass, and the lyrics fit the series to a T, and its awesomeness is doubled just because YUI sings it. And it looks like I will be getting my wish (along with thousands of other fellow fans).
It is very well crafted and one of the best series I have ever read! So I had been longing for a remake, wanting to see this great series done justice properly. The characters are much more developed, the story makes better sense and is much better in quality, and has the perfect balance of comedy and drama. However, when its compared to the manga, it’s pale in comparison.
I will admit, I did enjoy the first series, plus it was what got me into FMA afteral. It feels like I've been waiting ages for this.well, more realistically, I’ve been hoping for a remake of the anime the more and more I read the manga. SWEET HOLY MOTHER OF JESUS ITS FINALLY HERE! *angels sing*
