[Vault] Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood - 1x2 The First Day - Reaction!!

His first name is King. Gotta remember this is made by a Japanese creator. It's the equivalent of an American making a character that uses a common word from another language for a name like Watashi (which just means "me".)

Did you watch the Avatar reactions? Those were pretty untainted.

So, a few problems I am noticing. The camera angle is super impersonal, if we are going to be watching 64 or whatever episodes together we need a closer shot similar to the one for Avatar. Second, Ben should not be part of these reactions and in general people who have already seen shows, excluding Navi. (at least for story based shows) Ben dominates the discussions too. I know I sound harsh and unappreciaive, please believe that is not my intention.

"That's a good question" and "There is an answer" are my go to's when I'm watching a show with a friend who hasn't seen it before. "Glad you caught that" and "I enjoyed that moment too" also come into play. I can relate to both being introduced and introducing someone to a show that I enjoy, so I'll throw out a minor defense for keeping non-blind reactors as a part of the videos. They can correct minor factual/objective things that have already been part of the answers the show has given. This characters name is X, that's a country/event/region/character, and a bunch of "just keep watching". If its something the show has already mentioned (like the mistakes about Amai Mask in OPM) then I feel like that's an okay thing to correct. I think it makes for better speculation. I really hate to pile on, but explaining anything beyond what's available to a first time audience is going to affect how they respond. On the other hand, I'm not sure there is such a thing as a "pure" reaction to anything like this, so trying to please a desire for any sense of untainted emotional reaction seems a bit fruitless. I like Ben watching a show he loves with his friends. I agree that he's a bit too eager to answer peoples questions instead of letting the show do it.

He is the Fuhrer and his first name is King that’s why they call him that

I love Ben and he did do a good job in the AoT/OPM reactions, but I think this react series would be better without him. This show, like Avatar will explain everything as you watch and doesn't need someone else there to do it. The journey of learning how the world works and which characters will have full arches is part of what makes this show great. I think ya'll should consider only having blind reactions.

Wait with the jokes until after the episode is done.

Fuhrer King Bradley is kinda like Master Shifu (from Kungfu Panda); Shifu in Mandarin literally means Master. Or even The Los Angeles Angels, which literally translate to The The Angels Angels.

if only they knew how much trauma they signed up for. this is so not a kids show guys

This is exacrly why chris wasnt allowed for the avatar reactions. The over hyping of the show and connect plot lines ruins it for blind reactors and also takes away from the reaction itself

I really don't want to be rude, but I think there should be fewer reactors for this. Only blind reactors and Navi would be my preference. Ben seems like a cool dude, but he hasn't mastered the art of watching with blind reactors. He needs to be silent. I want to see Chris and Suraj figure everything out themselves. I know what Ben's feeling and I'm happy he loves the show, but his obvious excitement is over-hyping the show for the blind ones. He's also clearly excited to help people understand by explaining things, which is a huge no-no. I'm happy for Ben to stay, but he needs to pretend like he's not there. Tell Ben to only interact with the camera; subtle nods to we viewers is great. As hard as it is for a massive fan, Ben just can't be so obviously excited. It's going to ruin it. Over-hyping is an odd and counter-intuitive thing, I understand, but I think it'll be best if Ben follows my advice.

Can we get two episodes a week pretty please 😭

Also Dumbledore's friend in Harry Potter ;)

They don't go over exactly why they use the symbol but you can kinda figure it out later. The symbol itself is a flamel which was created by some alchemist from France named Nicholas Flamel.

His name is literally King Bradley, and Führer is his Title. He was renamed (i believe) at a certain point in his life, you will get that back story a long the way. Great Reaction. The editing kinda skipped a little to much with the transmutation scene in my personal opinion, but overall good stuff!

Griff

intelligent but not wise

Burooj Ahanger

seeing the truth also gave him the power to transmute without using the circles

Burooj Ahanger

"King bradley" is his name. King is part of his own name
