I'm not really a fan of how much Brotherhood uses these funny faces that aren't really funny at all, it ruins the tone and atmosphere the show is going for. I don't understand how this could possibly be the "best anime of all time" like reddit and MAL insist it is (at least until Frieren came out)

See, here's another one. It just feels so infantile. I liked the original series since it was more serious and dark, dealt with heavier themes like Evangelion

Acting as though FMA, in any incarnation, could even hold a candle to Evangelion is peak reddit.

Funnyschizo you have gaslit me into thinking the Ed crocodile gag is the funniest thing to ever happen in the anime medium.
I used to think it was just a dumb slapstick gag. Now I think it's comedy gold and I break into hysterical laughter whenever I see it.

Brotherhood won

at least until Frieren came out

What? And MAL retards didn't try to get FMA back in number 1?

This, funnyschizo just needs to start enjoying it ironically because it's so stupid. Also it's the humor of a cute mangaka, so it's ok to take it lightly.

It should've been like Death Note. In fact more manga/anime should be like Death Note. You can have light-hearted scenes but without the dumb faces and chibi shit.

why are newfags so without any culture

you aren't supposed to look at them as still frames, it's supposed to be an animated joke

When I was a teenager I couldn't stand anime because of the dumb faces characters would make to convey emotion. I found it too immersion breaking.

Dumb faces are fun. Look at Misa’s fucking face.

uses these funny faces that aren't really funny at all

This is how I felt about FMA as a whole
I think the author is just a huge autist and that she was reproducing situations she thought were impactful without really understanding why on a deeper level.
None of the "funny" scenes were really funny, and none of the "sad" scenes were really sad.

Yeah but it's not exaggerated here, unlike shit like picrel

Those kinds of illustrations are definitely an artifact of the era. The mid to late 2000's had them all over the place. This was back when a super detailed face was an acceptable punchline. You have to accept that it's a slightly dated. We don't hate all old movies just because they're black and white.

Ever notice how Fanfic Alchemist 2003 fags never make threads about it? Only Brotherhood. I's like deep down even they know it's shit but are trying to convince themselves otherwise.

Just do what I did and read the manga instead. I don't care how good the voice acting is or how mindblowing the soundtrack is - it's just not worth it if shrill, obnoxious, atmosphere-shattering, mood-ruining babyshit is lurking around every corner.

This shit you see in 'faithful' adaptations like FMAB or Hellsing Ultimate is what happens when you literally reproduce manga panel gags 1:1 on screen instead of trying to organically adapt or alter them to work within an audio-visual-based medium. There's a world of difference between one goofy but otherwise fleeting (not to mention silent) panel on a page and twenty uninterrupted seconds of loud, brightly colored super-deformed clown shit with matching sound effects on screen. It doesn't work because different mediums have different strengths and limitations, so what may work well in one medium won't necessarily work well in another, despite how 'faithful' it is to the source material. You know, like you're supposed to actually ADAPT the original elements to fit the new medium, rather than trying to fruitlessly jam a square peg into a round hole.

Russian complaints who gives a fuck

I think the author is just a huge autist and that she was reproducing situations she thought were impactful without really understanding why on a deeper level.

Hold on now, why are you blaming the author for shit in the anime? Manga is a different medium, those goofy faces fit just fine when they're just a small drawing in the corner of the page. It doesn't fuck up the pacing to have the characters having a silly little argument for a couple of panels like it does in an anime where it has to take up the entire screen and take up actual time. This is an adaptation problem, not a flaw of the original work.

Hellsing Ultimate

At this point you people are just being contrairian for the sake of it. Nobody with a brain thinks Gonzo's Hellsing was good outside of the music. The animation , crappy digital coloring etc

Even shit like that would be infinitely more tolerable if it weren't constantly punctuated by literal cartoon sound effects: youtube.com/watch?v=WyGZyoWl7uo

good point

Brainlet take, you may be the autistic one here.

I don't like this funny face because it's meaningless. Funny cartoony faces should be exaggerated version of real human facil expressions and not whatever the fuck it is.

I for one don't like cartoony shit in my cartoons

I really hate how often brotherhood undercuts its serious and dramatic moments with gags.

Go watch Steven trannyverse, westoid retard.

I agree. More directors should follow Ryu Nakayama.

You don't get to have an opinion, zoomer shitter

Go back.

It's a typical mistake of people in charge of adapting manga not understanding what adapting means.

Why hasn't this retard killed himself yet?

Sniiiiiiffffff.... mmmmyeeeeeesss, a dizzying, full-bodied kaleidoscope of depth, sophistication, and scintillating pathos, with just a cheeky soupçon of wry insouciance, I daresay.

Most popular character in the series.

It's like a modern Marvel movie, only much worse.

name one other series that mindbroke a anon this hard, jeremy is pretty much close
