Fullmetal Alchemist Episode 1

"To Challenge the Sun" is a thematic powerhouse, masterfully pitting cold Equivalent Exchange against blind faith. It effectively uses the city of Reole to establish a mature, philosophical tone, grounding the Elrics’ quest in a world of heavy consequence. A superb start!

This Episode is so cool and it earns me a 8.5/10. Strong thematic setup, clear alchemy rules, and compelling moral tension between science and faith. Edward and Alphonse are immediately intriguing, though pacing is deliberate. It's a thoughtful, atmospheric opener.

Full Metal Alchemist is a mid 2000s anime with a pretty known reputation. This was my first time seeing it. Pacing: Very dense but also fast paced, very well done. Writing: Very good and also somewhat simple. Animation: Best part along with the pacing. Setting: Very memorable.
