Its in general more humor filled than the first attempt at the anime, but for christ's sake, its moving at a much too fast pace. I mean I know the creators are eager to get to the new content, but slow down! You can ruin parts of the plot by trying to cram large parts of it into one episode. Lets look at a big mac in comparison. Sure its big juicy and full of what everyone wants, but because its so packed tight with so much crap in it, it can kill you with a heart attack! The producers are trying to shove too much plot down our throats at one time. There's too much plot on our plate of what to eat each episode. I'm sure this phase of the serries will end when the new content appears, but christ if I wasn't such a fan of FMA to start out with and didn't know the plot already, I probably would have given up because its going to fast, and yes there are animes out there like that. Come to think of it, maybe its just because I feel so much joy in watching its opening each time and then waiting in suspense to watch the ending each episode after episode until the new stuff is finally released, which will take longer than we all will think it will. Heh... oops I've ranted on again. Not that a lot of people actually read what I post, but heh...
