Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (2009) 

English One for all and all for one. When the original Fullmetal Alchemist ended with a spectacular final film, deviating from the manga source material, the entire series became an unforgettable fantasy ride and one of the best animes I have ever seen. Everything seemed concluded, and it seemed unnecessary to go through the whole story again with a different ending and a few new characters. And yet the first episode of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood eventually ended up on my screen, followed by another one. And another one. There was no turning back. The new perspective on the Elric brothers, homunculi, Central, or even the whole Amestris is grander and, above all, more complex. Father and the whole plot with the promised day is exactly one of the few things the original series lacked. And as I devoured the final ten episodes and every twist, even the smallest one, left me with my mouth open exactly where the creators wanted to take me, I realized that this was the anime I had been waiting for all this time. Epic fantasy, sincere confessions, breathtaking action, and a captivating soundtrack. There is no mood where I don't feel like watching at least one episode. The number one anime. ()
