Right, time to join the long history of anime fans hating on live-action adaptations. I love Fullmetal Alchemist - I adore everything about it. The world is logically thought out and rich with history, the characters bold and unique and each valuable. So despite how unconvinced I was that this could be pulled off well as a live-action movie, I was cautiously optimistic. Were my hopes fulfilled? Not in the slightest.
