I hate clipshows.And, sadly, FMA: Brotherhood just had a clipshow episode.
Urgh.
I was actually distressed at first because there was a new theme song. A greatly inferior theme song. Which, from the looks of it, I'm going to have to put up with for the next ten weeks.
Though...there WAS a shot of a certain blond-haired, sword-wielding woman. Which made me flail. Muchlots.
But, yeah. Clipshow episodes are fail, and sadly, FMA
was no exception. Especially with the cheesy song near the end...it's like they took all of my episode dislikes and lumped them into one go.Oh. AND the subber was lazy.
The ending was okay, though. The new ending theme. Though it sounds sort of like a combination of one of the Naruto endings ("ALIVE") and one of the Bleach endings ("Sky Chord"). Mixed with something else. But it did have a cool shot of Ran Fan.
Ah, well. On to a more flail-worthy episode. I hope. Well, it's back on-plot, and Father is in it, so...
In other news, I don't know HOW Bradley walks around with four swords on his hip. You can't go through doorways like that!!!
ETA: Okay, I just watched the opening again. It is AWFUL. The song, at least. The shots are okay. A little weak in the second half...but there is Kimbley and Olivia. And even a vicious shadow. But the main point is that Olivia is a Large Ham in the piece, taking the normal flash shot, lingering for a little while, then doing another shot, and just...yeah. She doesn't leave the screen. Which is just fine. Actually, it's quite wonderful.

~CAPSLOCK-NARUTO: SPREAD THE CAPSLOCK LOVE.
My problem, though, is that I just can't get into the Brotherhood anime. I really want to, but I just can't: very frustrating.
It's mostly because they have Ed at the Gate, conversing with the World, in the second episode.We're not supposed to see that until halfway through the series or so.
The fact that the events of that awful night have been revealed bit by bit (coupled with their earlier, heartwarming discovery "one is me, all is the world") makes those cold, empty panels so much more gripping.
...I think I should learn to enjoy anime as its own medium, rather than expecting it to be a direct translation of the manga.

You could always watch the original FMA anime. Because that started when the manga was about four issues in. Remember how Soul Eater eventually branched off from the manga? Well, there's no "eventually" with the FMA anime. Of course, You Should Know This Already.
But the point is, it's like a whole different adventure! I mean, some things stay the same...but there are a number of differences, too. And more adventures. Like a pair of fake Elric brothers and Mustang fighting Ed in a duel (while Hughes proudly announces that his daughter is turning three).

Bradley looks at the door, and sees the right angle to go in from. Though it's problematic when he has the eyepatch on.

Yeah, I can't tell you anything about Brotherhood. I haven't watched it. So, sorry.
