Vii's Review Violence/Gore - Lots of blood. Lots and lots of blood. When people get hurt, they can get quite bloody. When people are seriously injured, blood often pours out. As for gore, there isn't much when the characters get hurt normally, it's mostly just blood, but a few scenes stand out as more gory. The first is when Ed and Al's past is shown. Ed lost his leg and his bleeding leg stump is visible. The second are the homunculi Being a homunculi, yhey can regenerate, but if their limbs are cut off, they grow back in great detail, first with the bones, then the muscles weaving over top, and the finally the skin growing back. Nudity/Sexual Content- No sexual content at all. Other than a few hints at romance, there's only a few mentions of finding a date between some of the military members, and a few mentions of Lust's big boobies (She also sports a fairly low-cut outfit) There's no full-on nudity either. A few characters take showers, but are shown either from behind or have part of the scenery covering them. One character is shown taking a bath later on, and the outline of her body is visible under the water. It's nothing more than a Barbie doll. And in one scene even later, one character is taking her shirt off to change clothes, and the underpart of her breasts are shown. Theo. Themes - Alchemy is used in this series (If the title didn't tip you off already.) It is explained as not being magic, but instead science. The idea of God and Truth also play a fairly large role in this series. Ed claims he is an atheist, that there is no god, or if there is, then god would just reject him, but as the series goes on, he doesn't always act that way. The Ishvalans worship their god Ishvalla, and one of the antagonists uses Ishvalla to justify his evil deeds. The Homunculi are all named after the Seven Deadly Sins. Other Themes - This anime can be quite dark at times, and a lot of the characters pasts have many horrors in them. There is a fair bit of swearing, mostly from Ed, but it never goes beyond d-mn, b-stard, or h-ll. One character is shown with a cigarette in his mouth quite often. There are a few instances of drinking alcohol, but only by adults. No drunkenness that I recall. Sub vs Dub - I prefer the dub for the most part. Both sub and dub are great, but I like the dub because it seems more natural for the setting. It also means I can pay closer attention to the fights and the characters expressions. |
