The Vampire Dies in No Time - Season 2 - 12 Episodes
My favourite show strikes again. I've never felt such consistency between 2 seasons. The humour sticks just as well as the first season even with all the new content.
All of the appeal is still there and I had a good laugh for many of the episodes.
This show gets me and I kind of hate it.
9.5/10 - Great +
Anime, the captivating world of Japanese animation, encompasses a vast array of genres, styles, and themes. From action-packed adventures to heartwarming romances, anime offers something for everyone. But with such a vast selection available, deciding what to watch next can be challenging. In this blog post, we’ll embark on a journey through the alphabet, exploring some of the best anime for each…
A while back I made a ranking of all the FMAB openings, but now I’ve decided to do a ranking of the ending songs too. This one was just as difficult because Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood has some really great music. If you need a refresher on what the endings are like, I included a link for each of them. Let’s go!
#5: Ending 3, “Tsunaida Te” by Lil’B
I don’t dislike this ending by any means, but one of them has to be last. I do like the focus on Winry and her time in Rush Valley, but the song doesn’t stand out too much to me and I don’t find it very memorable. The best part though is when they show Winry talking on the phone and you can tell just by her facial expressions that she’s talking to Ed :)
#4: Ending 2: “Let it Out” by Miho Fukuhara
This ending signals the start of things getting more serious in FMAB, hence the more emotional song and the stoic expressions of the characters. This ending, like ending 3, starts off focused on Winry, but includes shots of some of the other female characters as well. Overall it’s a perfectly good ending but doesn’t stick out too much to me, I think the reason why this one won over ending 3 is because I prefer the song.
#3: Ending 4: “Shunkan Sentimental” by Scandal
This one probably is my favorite song out of the EDs (maybe excluding my top pick). As much as I enjoy it, the animation for this one is kind of unusual because it really seems more like an opening than an ending. Like, it’s a more upbeat song, there’s a lot of flashing scenes and buildup, etc. Despite this, it does feel like the penultimate ending animation, like things are gearing up to be more intense as they approach the final arc.
#2: Ending 1: “Uso” by Sid
This one has such a nostalgic energy to it, the little animation is so adorable, and it’s a great start to the series. This is probably the ED most people think of when they think of FMAB. It’s very simple and pleasant, which is a reflection of how the show isn’t as violent or upsetting at this point in the story. This one in particular brings back strong memories of the first time I watched the show, so that may be why I like it so much.
#1: Ending 5: “Ray of Light” by Shoko Nakagawa
I have to admit I am a little biased since I am a Hohenheim stan, but this one is undeniably my favorite. I have teared up while watching it on more than one occasion, especially in the final episodes after we learn everything about Hohenheim and extra especially after his death scene. Those sad moments are such a contrast to his peaceful smile in this ending. I think it’s only fitting that the final ending of the series focuses on Hohenheim, since he is basically the hidden protagonist of the show.
I hope you enjoyed my ranking list as well as looking back fondly on all the great FMAB endings! Feel free to share your thoughts/your own ranking below, I have a feeling some people would disagree so I’m curious as to which your favorites are.
This is all the new (to me) anime I watched in 2022, ranked in order of how much I like them aka how crazy they made me. I didn't include anything I dropped, or movies.
This has got to be the longest season ever. I swear I stopped watching anime for a good few months and came back and the season's still going.
I definitely cut down the amount of shows I watched this season since I burnt out but the upcoming Spring season should be a banger.
My top 3 for this season:
Buddy Daddies
Sugar Apple Fairy Tail
The Vampire Dies in No Time Season 2
Here's this seasons final reviews:
Giant Beasts of Ars - 12 Episodes
Definitely one of the better anime originals I've seen in a while. This is a new sci-fi fantasy concept that felt a little reminiscent of Ghibli content. I was satisfied with the story but was a little disappointed they didn't end it off with 1 season.
8/10- Very Good
Trigun Stampede - 12 Episodes
I honestly loved this. Studio Orange killed it with the 3d animations (they did Beastars) and the story is well rounded. I think the series is definitely underated and many people skipped it due to the animation style but it's 100% worth a watch.
8/10 - Very Good
Vinland Saga Season 2 - (Still airing - 12/24 Episodes)
Who knew we'd see Facebook's farmville be animated in such detail.
But honestly, the first half of this season is absolutely brutal. I know they're keeping it real and the slow pace makes the rest of the season stand out all that much more but damn.
Doesn't pick up until episode 9 but somehow I still have high hopes for the rest of the season. (Side note - Mappa is killing it as usual with this take-over)
7/10 - Good
Blue Lock - Part 2 (Episodes 13-24)
This is definitely still one of the best sports anime I've seen in the last few years. All the characters are unique and enjoyable to watch, the art style is solid and well executed and the story progresses at a decent rate.
I honestly don't have many complaints about this series. (of course other than the usual butchering of english in the last 2 episodes)
If you like sports anime, soccer or just want to watcha battle royal, this is one to check out.
8/10 - Very Good
Endo and Kobayashi Live! - 12 Episodes
This honestly didn't feel like a novel concept but I had a lot of fun. It's 2 romance stories in 1 but with all the fun of shitty otome game intervention animes. (I can't believe this is a genre now). Just overall wholesome fun.
7/10 - Good
Revenger - 12 Episodes
I really thought this series could've been better. While I did enjoy it to some extent, the story ended up feeling very superficial and didn't feel like it really went in depth on any of the characters and just floated along the surface story for the whole season.
5/10 - Average
Tomo-Chan is a Girl - 13 Episodes
I nearly stopped at the first episode. I'm still not 100% sold on the concept where this strong girl just wants to be seen as a romantic interest and a lot of the gender stuff was really on the edge but I think they managed to walk around it. The story did end up being cute without it stepping all over tomboys. Was fun to watch but not as good as the hype behind the manga.
6/10 - Fine
Campfire Cooking in Another World with my Absurd Skill - 12 Episodes
I really enjoyed the manga for this series and I was stoked that Mappa picked it up. I found that as long as you don't try to look for a serious story from this series it's a fun lighthearted watch.
Definitely made me hungry while watching.
7/10 - Good
The Eminence In Shadow - Second Half
I think this show was actually pretty fun. Definitely more of a fantasy than isekai since it has nothing to do with his previous life.
I had fun with Shadow's character but found that it got boring for a few episodes until the end.
If it continues I'll likely still check it out.
7/10 - Good
The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague - 12 Episodes
This was really cute and I liked the change of pace from other romance series where they're all workforce adults, like in Wotakoi.
Still felt that it didn't really go anywhere.
Enjoyed it but likely won't continue to watch if there's a second season.
6/10 - Fine
