It has returned!! :o I hope you enjoy it! Thank you for your patience and support ^_^ You're the best. I put a pinned comment on the video about why this took so long, so I will leave that here for those of you who would prefer to read it here:


Hey there, folks! Thank you for watching this video. I hope you enjoyed it.

I want to take a second to explain why this video took so long to make (especially for those who have seen my old FMA series and who waited patiently for this one). Basically, I was right on track to get this done within a couple weeks of the date I mentioned in my update video for the old FMA series, but then my computer broke. 

Unfortunately, the repair took nearly two months (even though I was told by the repair place that it would take a month at the longest), and I had no other computer I could use that would let me do any editing. While Chris the editor still edited certain sections of this video, I wanted to make some sections myself and to add in all the audio myself as well. 

This meant that I waited a long time for the computer to get back to me, but now that it's here there will be no more breaks anywhere near this length of time. The next part should definitely be out within a month, but I am aiming to get it out within a couple weeks.

And some of you might have noticed that this is different than what I said it would be. By that I mean that, in my update video for the old series, I said that I would go through the old videos, re-edit small chunks, and put it all together into one long video. However, as I went through the old parts, I realized that they were so incredibly variable in terms of quality of scripting, editing, audio, and presentation that I either had to redo it all or just leave it as is. 

So I chose to redo it all, tweaking the whole script, re-recording everything, cutting out repetitive sections, and streamlining the whole thing. I have also moved certain section around. For example, one part that was in the fourth video of the original series is in this section, despite the fact that the rest of it covers material from parts 1 and 2 of that series. 

I have used this opportunity to discuss some of the most major problems people had with this video. One of those is that some people felt that I didn't treat the manga as its own thing enough of the time, that I too often conflated it with Brotherhood. I agree, and I am adjusting this redo accordingly. 

Another change is that I have taken much more care to make the background music be in line with whatever I'm talking about and to use different tracks, as to stop the music from getting too repetitive. All of the music used is in the description, for anyone who is curious about which piece is which.

Of course, all of this is to say that, as you can already tell, this redo will not be one part of old material and then new material immediately afterword. My plan is to continue this redo with approximately 30 to 40 minute long episodes, then to move right into the new material. As I have many notes written out and have made a lot of progress on the new videos, there should be no breaks like those that plagued the old series of videos. 

Thank you for your patience and understand with all this. You're the best. I hope that this video was worth the wait.

Thanks! I'm happy you enjoyed it :) And also thank you for hopping on board the patreon! I really appreciate that ^_^

Gladly your finally back to doing FMA stuff.--it's what made me a patron after all :) I don't know why you're so hard on your original first couple comparison videos Lowart--while technically I think this video is slicker than your original first (and your voice cadence is also superior), I don't think the analysis is superior per se. I'm actually really glad you're keeping both videos up as I felt that there was some interesting new stuff in this video that your original lacked but there was one or two things mentioned in the first two original videos that you didn't cover here. Thanks for all your hard work and I am looking forward to the next FMA as well as other non-FMA too.

I'm happy that you're enjoying it :) Yeah, I think I'm just my own worst critic sometimes haha I definitely don't think those original videos are bad, just that they're not quite where I wanted them to be at the time. But yeah, that's the main reason I'm leaving both up--I know those original videos are special to some people and, even if I think all the changes I'm making are improvements, it makes sense that not everyone will see that the same way, or that some people might just prefer watching the old ones. Thanks again, bud :)
