Anime Name: Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

Basic Plot: 2 brothers Edward and Alphonse attempt to bring their mother back from the dead by way of alchemy. It goes horribly wrong and costs Ed his right arm and Al his entire body. Ed gets Al's soul back by sacrificing his right arm and binds his soul to a suit of armor. Hilarity Ensues.

Character Development: Amazing. It balances humor with lots a of sadness as well dives into a lot of mature subjects.

Fan Service:


Sub or Dub: Sub or Dub. Sub. I cant stand Al's voice in the dub but Ed's voice is superb. Id just go for dub.

Verdict: Really worth watching. Not just for weeaboos

Score: 9/10




Brotherhood fixes all the stuff they did wrong in the original, it doesn't move slowly, but doesn't fly past at 60 eps total.  Great series worth watching until the end, no filler, no bullshit.

I watched the Dub on Netflix, most anime I watch subbed, but lately FMA:Brotherhood, Gurren Lagann, and Soul Eater I have watched dubbed.

is Gurren Lagann any good dubbed? I heard Simons voice (same guy that does Saskue and Suzaku) and I don't think its a good fit. What about the rest of the characters?

I usually prefer dubs over subs. Sometimes a sub is better, but lately most series have found good voice actors.

Yeah Smiffy made me watch Gurren Lagann in dub, the voices are actually really good.
I've watched in both, because Gurren is such an epic show.

Kamina's voice is what really sold it for me

Gurren Lagann

Anime Name: Gurren Lagann


Basic Plot: So humanity has long abandoned the surface land, and been forced into underground villages by the Spiral King. He has suppressed the human race with his minions, Beastmen who pilot Gunmen, mecha like fighting robots. One day, Yoko, a teenage redhead falls into Jeehad village, the residence of the main characters, Simon and Kamina. Accompaning Yoko, to the surface, Kamina forms Team Gurren, a group of rebels trying to push humanity to the surface and fight against the Spiral King.

Character Development:

Simon: I thoroughly enjoyed watching Simon, as he matured from a scared little boy into a badass leader. For some reason, there wasn't anything I could hate or find annoying about him, he was overall a well written character. There was a time skip in the middle of the 27 episode series, and it was interesting to see him after 6 years. I wish there was a second series, just to see Simon again.



Kamina: The cool older brother character, he doesn't change much along the series, but he doesn't have to. He leads Team Gurren, and appears to be pretty perverted but its still kinda fun. He motivates Simon to "DRILL TO THE HEAVENS!!!" later on in the series he plays a much bigger role for Simon.
Spoiler for Hidden:
He dies in episode eight, and will motivate the rest of Team Gurren to continue on.



Fan Service: They made Yoko into Gurren Lagann's sex symbol. I actually didn't think it was too bad and didn't ruin the series, but it was the focal point of one of the earlier episodes. One I thought was bad was how weak the writers made Yoko, sure she can fight in her bra and underwear, but at least make her a badass with it. She gets a sniper rifle, but it seems she doesn't really compare to the mecha gunmen in fights. So fanservice wasn't too bad.



Sub or Dub: The show's lines do get a bit cheesy at points, but I enjoyed it. Dub was actually pretty good, so I'll recommend it. You should probably test both and see which one you like more.

Verdict: A very good mecha anime, it does focus more on the mech fights than something like Code Geass. However along with iconic scenes, a good storyline, I would recommend it to anyone even those who aren't too big fans of anime. It's just sad that the reason we don't have a second season, is that they went broke.

Score: 9/10

Not to mention its basically taking the piss out of the genre of mecha anime, its almost a parody of the genre as there are so many jokes about goofy stuff they do in mech anime (COMBINING anyone?) so theres lots of funny stuff if youve seen other mecha anime, and the show NEVER takes itself too seriously.


Also its about being epic for the sake of being epic.

And the fact that by the end of the series they have gone so far in terms of the scale and sheer lunacy of battles they face...

Combining is a thing of MANLINESS.

Kaminas voice in the dub is pretty damn god tier. His voice actor is one of my favs next to Steven Blum (who voiced Leeron in Gurren Lagann)

Sammeh. Elfen lied. Do eet.

Im not doing any reviews. I would have to go rewatch the series to get anything out of it, specially since I watched Elven Lied like 3 years ago.
I'm too busy with uni, and watching currently airing shows to do all dat :S

However, if anyone wants to know if somethings good, ask away :) Although I might not have watched it.

I forgot to put it in the review, but how did you guys like Nia ? I didn't really particularly like her, as she was basically used just as Simon's love interest.

Jesus, I thought bleach was alright, not the best anime, but worth watching. If you really scored it that low, I should really check out code geass and gurren Lagann, seems like you guys like those a lot.
