Reviews for "Fullmetal Arithmetist"

Lets clear this up...

Ed lost his leg after the first human tramsmutation, and Al lost his body. He then performed a second human transmutation by sarcificing his arm in order to place Al's soul in the suit of armor.
That aside, this was good, wouldn't of minded seeing how the rest of what happened translated though.

Builds up tension

Before reading the comment:
Aw, man, It started so good, with such a tense atmosphere and then ended. Anyways, nice enough.

After reading the comment:
I'm sorry, I never animated anything. So I'm worthless as an opinion to you? I'm sorry, I didn't realize I was incapable of seeing what you could do to improve yourself only because I'm not as artistic as you.
Seriously, do think about it. There are asses reviewers everywhere, capable of animating or not. Disregarding other opinions based on that is not constructive.

That posture will only get others to dislike you.
Receive all critic and weight them wisely.

Just to clarify, my rating is for the animation.
And I did my best to be as respectful as I could be.

BoobMarley responds:

Getting people to like me is not my prerogative. Sorry you thought that.

Mediocre.

This isn't a BAD flash, don't get me wrong. You say in the comments that you will disregard the reviews of those who haven't tried flash, and I have. I know how hard it is, and I would be proud of this piece of work. I'm not sure what it's based on, or any of the back-story. I am merely judging the work.
The voices were okay; good voice acting but bad quality. That is most likely just down to a bad microphone. The expressions were okay, but the hair seemed a bit stiff. The music did fit the piece well, but in time only; the mood didn't REALLY seem to match the music.
My main criticism is that the story is in bits. You have the boys at the blackboard. The boy with the blocks... eating him? Then him with no leg, and then the picture on fire.
This is NOT a bad piece of work, and with only two months of flash experience you could become a great animator. My advice to you is to keep working and watch other peoples work. If you learn to take different things from different works then you can put them together in your own style and improve the overall quality of your work.
Quick note: Please, as a request, do not be so hostile in your comments. It acts like a meeting point to trolls, and will only piss people off. Just ignore people who hate on your work.

BoobMarley responds:

If you aren't familiar with the source material I can understand how a lot of this seemed out of place, or just cobbled together strangely

I watch a few flash animations from time to and time, and usually am able to gather some ideas or inspirations on techniques.

I will however, never stop being hostile to those who I feel merit it. We here at BoobMarley do not negotiate with terrorists.

An insult to the best anime I have ever watched

This is pretty funny but just a plain insult to an honestly amazing anime,Interesting characters,a mysterious storyline,An underestimated plot and much more,and this just makes it look like something that would belong in a crappy videogame for an old fashioned hand held.

BoobMarley responds:

This is not an insult to FMA. The fact that you think this is an insult is an insult the general intelligence level of the FMA fanbase.

It looks the way it looks because a guy illustrated and animated it alone in a cave with a box of scraps.
If you hold fanart to the standard of the source material, you're going to be very sorely disappointed. I wonder if that has anything to do with your own lack of involvement in animation...

Constructive Critisism.

Voice quality is terrible bro and it needs to be more fast paced.

BoobMarley responds:

Voice quality is what it is, but the pace was by choice. Thanks for reviewing.
