We're making the case for why Fullmetal Alchemist should be the next series to receive the One Piece-style treatment on Netflix.
The Big Picture The new adaptation of the iconic anime and manga series One Piece has been a breakout success for Netflix. The show was incredibly well received by critics and audiences alike, and it’s already been picked up for a second season. The overwhelming success of One Piece has erased much of the negativity surrounding Netflix's previous Hollywood live-action adaptation of Cowboy Bebop, which was canceled weeks after its debut on the streamer.
'Fullmetal Alchemist' Has a Westernized Setting and Characters Fullmetal Alchemist highly lends itself to a Western-region adaptation due to the setting, concept, premise, and characters of Arakawa’s narrative. The manga series is a fantasy storyline primarily set in the fictional nation of Amestris. The settings and characters of Fullmetal Alchemist are already highly Westernized.
'Fullmetal Alchemist' Features Universally Relevant Themes Arakawa's manga series and its anime adaptations became so beloved and popular not only because of the iconic Elric brothers , but due to the universally relevant themes and ideas. Fullmetal Alchemist uses its setting of Amestris to explore ideas of imperialism and colonialism. The nation of Amestris is a military-controlled state, ruled by Führer King Bradley.
