Fullmetal Alchemist Episode 03
"Mom..."
Fullmetal Alchemist would have to be one of my two favorite shows whose titles begin with "full metal", right up there with Full Metal Panic.
I'll let that sink in.
Seriously though, this show is right around average, though I think episode three is a little too early to already have an extended flashback episode. I barely know what's going on, and I'm already getting overburdened with history.
I really can't stand Alphonse's little boy voice, especially when the mechanical whine is applied to it. Well, to be honest, Edward's little boy voice isn't all that hot either. On the plus side, this show has some outstanding production values, which shows in the quality of the animation and art. The music is above average, on the few occasions where it poked through the dialogue.
In this episode, we're whisked back into the past to observe Edward and Alphonse's childhood, where they attempted to revive their deceased mother through alchemy, and ultimately fail (didn't we just see this in episode one?).
Mental note: when preforming gargantuan, impossible tasks of alchemy, wait for clear skies and bright sunshine... avoid dark, stormy nights.
The story of their failed transmutation and subsequent mutilation is actually very good, though, and definitely above what I was expecting after the previous two episodes. If the story continues to improve, given the production values of this show, it could turn out to be a surprise hit.
Rating: B+
