Gotta love Full metal Alchemist: Brotherhood. In my opinion the best series ever drawn/written.

Isn't this the old one ? I only watched that and I remember this scene. Unless it's in both

This is from 2003, not Brotherhood. But Brotherhood has an even more bombastic version of this scene, and the comment still isn’t wrong about Brotherhood being the best. 😁

Give me Tokyo Ghoul Brotherhood.

We need a second attempt at that series. It’s too good for the anime to be handled the way it was.

Throw in The Promised Neverland Brotherhood after that.

Ah, I don't think I agree with Tokyo Ghoul.

Like, yes, it was fantastic and I was following it during its run, but it gradually became VERY obvious that the author is burned out and just wants to be done with it asap. The ending wasn't game of thrones level bad, but it did feel rushed and left the "author gave up" kind of aftertaste.

I guess that's better than endlessly dragging the story just for the money and fame, so I'm not gonna bash Ishida Sui for how he handled Tokyo Ghoul:Re. But personally, I wouldn't watch the remake even if I'm fond of the 95% of the manga.

That’s fine. Anime watchers are notoriously hard to please when it comes to endings.

Anime’s either have “trash” endings: Naruto, MHA, Demon Slayer, Attack on Titan, Death Note, etc.

Or they never end, so they get to avoid the criticism: Hunter X Hunter, One Piece, Berserk, etc.

I stopped caring about the opinions of anime watchers long ago. I loved Tokyo Ghoul (manga), and I think season 1 showed the anime had SO much potential when executed properly.
