It also did a good job of connecting the dots no questions were left unanswered except some that of course would be more appropriate to be answered in a sequel or the light novel-or even left unanswered as they are not the point of the show. Most of the mysteries in this show are not your orthodox "whodunnit" type you'd find in Sherlock Holmes or Detective Conan, but the show did a good job of making the audience feel something's not right and dropping sufficient hints for the audience to figure out themselves what's It follows Siesta and Kimizuka as they travel the world to solve mysteries regarding abnormal humans preceding Siesta's death (and yes, she dies, but it's not a spoiler because it's literally the premise of the show) and Kimizuka's life after Siesta's death. You will enjoy it.įullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Part 1 (Episodes 1-13) and Part 2 (Episodes 14-26) are avaible on DVD, Part 1 and Part 2 also on Blue-Ray.The Detective is Already Dead is a romcom with spices of mystery, thriller, and sci-fi. Nothing is heroic in a war that is fought with everything you got.įullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is an anime you can watch again, and again and again. And that makes the anime different at the end because everyone in it needs to make choice for what they want to fight and on which side they stay. True, something sinister is going around, but it’s more the greed for power then the intention to do harm that motivates the figures in their actions against others. And with the development of the story that works just fine.īut still the best part is, that we don’t have a real evil villain. We get a good insight into the characters, their motivation, their development and they are believable in the context of the story.
I didn’t mind, because the rest of the show works as it should be. The anime doesn’t take a breath and allow us to really look back over the past events and let us gather our energy for the next jump into the darkness of the human mind, but everybody needs to decide how that works for themselves. There are a few isolated moments where I beg to differ, but overly it’s true. You can say the anime doesn't do silence and the moment of stillness well. Not far into the story the pace gets even quicker and soon it feels like running alongside the brothers on their wild chase through the country. More characters, more places, more plots, more secrets.
The Studio had more material to draw from and you can see that. I don’t say it’s a bad ending as it suits the show and it’s pace. It is important to consider that the end of the first show is totally made up. Soon the storyline of the original and the new adaption part ways and never get back together again.
