Is there something wrong with me. Fullmetal Alchemist is usually at the top of most "best animes ever" lists.

I had some spare time last Tuesday and decided to binge 9 episodes while I was getting my hair braided.

I for the life of me can not get into this at all. I honestly think it's very disappointing, from the Writing, music, animation. There hasn't even been a single fight scene that is even worth talking about, none where I think it lasted more than 5 minutes.

The show can't get me to give a actual f about the characters either. Even the little girl and her dog, I was just watching that episode as distant as anyone can be.

The dialogue is awful. The writers don't build any suspense or anticipation whatsoever. There has been a couple of big moments early on and the writers just gloss over everything very matter of factly - (Like when the brothers realized there needs to be a human sacrifice for transfusion after reading the scientists studies).

That's a pretty big thing I would think, and it literally just came and went.

I have to say after coming from the Attack on Titan that I find is the polar opposite to what I'm seeing here, I'm very disappointed.

I know it has like what (60?) episodes. Is this worth continuing?

It’s better than it in some ways for me. The story is better/less forced. The cast of characters is much much better. Fights are better and clever. I agree the comedy is not great but that’s not the main point.

granted I haven't seen the very ending as I'm anime only but I think AOT has been a perfect story up to now. No filler, no corny jokes, no ass pulls to unnecessarily stretch out the narrative like FMA B constantly does.

We're in agreement with that, that whole manosphere cult around eren is weird at best and creepy at worst, but at least isayama pretty outwardly denounces that behavior so its not like he endorses gigachad eren.
But regardless its all jokes idc if yall hate aot, UNLESS its a one piece stan, then i got a problem

Gosso actually saved JJK. Really excited to see his future directing work.

every shonen ive ever read or watched fundamentally misunderstands how to handle human relationships. Saying this as someone who has read most the major ones. relationships only exist as a means to an end or a way to push the leads. they have no organic existence in their own world and exist only to introduce drama. it is uncanny. I understand it is written for children and children are self-centered as f*** for the most part but it's f***ing jarring sometimes. Practically no nuance in conversation or legitimate human interaction during conversation. So many exposition dumps.

sayin this as someone who has kept up with OP for like 15 years lol

Well, to me, it's more of the opposite. Because, granted, even in season 1, Eren already showed signs of a problematic character, but since the show framed him as the hero/MC, some audiences didn't pay much attention to said red flags. As the story progressed, viewers found themselves increasingly invested in Eren's journey, and as a consequence, some of them came to the f***ed-up conclusion that his selfish desire for mass destruction was justified.

Homelander, on the other hand, is immediately presented as a deeply problematic villain. Man has been a racist, sexist, rapist, sadist, misanthrope, etc. pretty much from the get-go.

So yeah, I'd argue it does not make more sense for mfs to relate to Homelander.
