Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Dub – Some (Maybe Controversial) Thoughts

Okay, let's talk about Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Specifically, the English dub. It's legendary, I know. But hear me out!

Sometimes I feel like we automatically crown things "the best" without really... thinking. Like pineapple on pizza. People either love it or hate it.

Edward Elric: The Golden Boy Voice

Vic Mignogna is Ed. Iconic, right? He became Edward Elric for a lot of people. But… sometimes I wonder if his delivery ever felt a *little* too shouty?

I mean, Ed shouts a lot. It’s kinda his thing. But there are subtle differences between “angry shouting” and “just… shouting”. You know?

Maybe I'm just jealous of his vocal cords. I try to yell like Ed and I just sound like I'm ordering a pizza in a really demanding way.

Alphonse Elric: The Gentle Giant's Voice

Aaron Dismuke as Alphonse? Now that’s casting gold! Truly! Perfect. No notes. Seriously. Absolutely perfect.

His voice is so gentle and kind. It’s exactly what you imagine coming from that giant suit of armor. He was so young when he started too.

Roy Mustang: The Flame Alchemist's Voice

Travis Willingham as Roy Mustang? Smooth operator! I love it. He nails the cocky, yet secretly caring, Colonel perfectly.

He just *sounds* like someone who can snap his fingers and make fire. Like a walking, talking lighter with a serious backstory.

Riza Hawkeye: The Sharpshooter's Voice

Colleen Clinkenbeard as Riza Hawkeye is great. She is strong and calm. The perfect foil to Mustang’s showmanship. Maybe I am biased because she is the voice of Erza Scarlet from Fairy Tail.

Hawkeye always keeps her cool. Her voice reflects that icy resolve. Always professional. Always on point.

The "Other" Voices

Let's not forget the amazing supporting cast! So many talents contribute to the rich world of Amestris. They are all very gifted individuals.

From Maes Hughes to Olivier Armstrong, each voice actor brought something unique. I feel like I am doing them a disservice to pick one.

The Dub Debate: A Final Thought

Look, the Brotherhood dub is objectively good. It’s well-acted, well-directed, and full of talent. But is it *perfect*? Is *anything* perfect?

Maybe it's just fun to question things we hold sacred. Like, is the ending of *Lost* actually good? Was *Game of Thrones* season 8 a fever dream we should collectively forget?

So, next time you watch Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, listen closely. Appreciate the talent. And maybe, just maybe, you'll hear something new that makes you think. Or maybe I am just crazy.

Just don’t come at me with pitchforks if you disagree. I’m just one person with one (potentially unpopular) opinion. Maybe I'll go rewatch it now. And probably still love it!
