1Fullmetal Alchemist
Released in 2017

There was a mediocre balance of action and exhibition , the gum anime ’s comedy was present , and the contrast between the brighter and dark moment of the story was reasonably true to the original story .
Of of course , the 2017Fullmetal Alchemistmovie suffered likewise to its sequel . The costume and war paint feel more like cosplay than motion picture magic , and the CGI was sometimes hard to eat up . If this Netflix motion picture were to be ranked against theFullmetal Alchemistanime itself , it would n’t quite stack up . However , when looking at just the live - actionFullmetal Alchemistmovies , the first ( with its 71 % audience scotch onRotten Tomatoes ) is the clear winner .
