Netflix's Full Metal Alchemist live-action trilogy offers an uneven adaptation that ranges from frustratingly bad to surprisingly good. The second film stands as the trilogy's highlight while the first and third installments struggle with poor CGI, missing plot points, and bizarre creative decisions. • First movie starts well but devolves into a Resident Evil-like mess with strange plot changes • Second movie (Revenge of Scar) dramatically improves with better action, faithful storytelling, and character portrayals • CGI quality inexplicably drops in the third film despite being filmed alongside the second • Many iconic moments from the anime are either omitted or poorly executed • Key character developments are missing, particularly for Greed and Pride • Strong performances from actors playing Mustang, Bradley, and Armstrong throughout • Ending follows the Brotherhood conclusion rather than the original anime's ending • Second film earns an 8/10 while first and third films rate 4.5/10 and 6/10 respectively Text us for feedback and recommendations for future episodes!

Brace yourself for a mind-bending journey as we explore this tantalizing theory, linking two of anime's most compelling worlds. We challenge the status quo and invite you to ponder the implications of such an interconnected storyline, as we dissect the grim reality faced by the children of Grace Field House and the overarching moral complexities that shape their universe.

Our conversation is laced with both appreciation and critique, as we unravel the charm of returning to a beloved universe while expressing our mixed feelings about Yashahime's narrative execution and character development. A significant part of our discussion delves into the complex character relationships within these series. We tackle the controversial dynamics between Sesshomaru and Rin, exploring the discomfort around age differences and drawing comparisons to other notable anime couples like Inuyasha and Kagome.
