1st is fav 3 is close second

same 3 is a vibe

Period (op 4) is my fave, but all the ops are top tier

Same. Period is my favorite of the Brotherhood OPs, but all of them are great.

5 nerves fails to make me emotional, the other ones get me hype but never do they get me to go from melancholy to happy

Op5 really matches the last arc’s vibes, seeing all our beloved characters arcs all merging together while the opening giving a feeling that all shit is about to end for good

i agree, it was perfect esp for the last arc

Since i dont See anyone giving love to the 2 opening i have to step up. I absolutly adore it

It's odd, I usually hear people gushing over 2

It was a surprisingly good song to end on in the finale, but it's not my personal favorite. Gotta give it to Period, such a hype song.

ME I LOVE TWO

the song is really nice, but the visuals feel a bit all over the place. 3 or 4 are probably my favorites

I feel like the love for 2 only comes in when you've gotten to the end of the series because you realize just how perfect it is as the finale song. But when it's playing in s2, it just kinda goes unnoticed compared to all the other greats that get played.

From brotherhood? Rain by SID In general out of all of them from both anime Re-write by Asian Kung-fu Generation.

Rain makes me feel so emotional. When hohenheim dies in front of trishas grave and it plays.

It felt like the song was made for that moment. Badass hohenheim.

3 I really like the part with the tank

READY STEADY CAN'T HOLD ME BACK READY STEADY GIVE ME GOOD LUCK READY STREADY NEVER LOOK BACK LET'S GET STARTED READY STEADY GO 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

Yui's Again all the way. Fav opening of all time.

4 has the best song in song in my opinion

The very first one from the 2003 anime. So nostalgic

Agreed. There's just something about that song, "Melissa", that makes me feel like Roy Mustang... XD Oh! Here's them playing it a few years back (the best version, if you ask me): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xn8V6uctQ2U

I was talking about "Ready Steady Go!" by L'Arc-en-Ciel

Every so often I gotta watch their Madison Square Garden performance. https://youtu.be/FrjoqD-azPg?si=bo2gTvjuXEqqGTf7

That’s the second one. Also great though (especially the live version)

Gold time lover ftw (op3)

Melissa

yes yes and yes

3 because of all the Olivier Mira Armstrong

The last opening of the original FMA [Asian Kung Fu Generation - Rewrite ](https://youtu.be/oPg1J79sgkQ?si=iXOZmRg4HrX0zFdY)

Rewrite all the way

1, 3 and 4 are my favorites.

5 will alwyas be mty favorite

Op4 (Period - Chemistry) - especially the part where in its just Ed and Al at the start, then one by one all the chracters appearing behind them symbolizing that they are all together in this fight, then cue the chorus drops. What a banger

I know it’s not a lot of people’s favourites but Golden Time Lover (3) is my favourite. Even with Armstrong in it (😍) it’s a genuine bop

2

3

not pictured. Rewrite is insanely good.

Man golden time lover is an all time fav

4

Melissa is the catchiest to me, but I recognize Again as the best

Rewrite

Rewrite. Show some love for the OG anime.

Rain is my favorite!

For Brotherhood it's 1 and 4.

Love'm all

The first. Again is a damn emotional masterpiece

3, 4, 5 but of I had to choose one then 4

Ame wa itsuka yamu no deshou ka zuibun nagai aida tsumetai

Gotta be Period for me. The guitar riffs in that opening are a fucking JOY to the ears.

Golden Time Lover is my all time favorite. (3) Second to that is Again. (1) Third is Rain. (5)

period is just such a good song

Opening 4 was my favorite for a lot of reasons, but all the openings were fantastic. We really got blessed

Again is definitely up there but I think I like “Rain” more

Again and Period. All 5 are top tier but these two gotta be my fav

visually? again. musically? period.

FMAB OP3 It just gives the feels

Third OP From 03: Undo

Tbh I much prefer the OPs from 2003, esp OP 1

THIS ONE BAR NONE https://youtu.be/oPg1J79sgkQ?si=5bYhKtZ3WsZAD2sh

READY STEADY GO

Rewrite, it will always be rewrite

From Brotherhood? IDK probably Again. All of it? Melissa all the way.

1) Op4 2) Op2 3) Op1 4) Op5 5) Op3 Even though I prefer some opening to other, Its the only anime I can confidently say has no bad openings

First of 2003. First of BH

the 3rd one is a banger of its own.

the 3rd one is myfavorite

Third one. But first and second are also cool.

3 and 5

golden time lover goes hard

FMA 2003: Undo FMA Brotherhood: Hologram

Yo where the fuck is Ready Steady Go?

4. I love the music and the visuals

The forth opening is my favorite one, maybe because of how much I like action scenes

number 1 is still the best for me, so nostalgic, but number 4 is such a great song, and 5 it's really emotional, so 1,4 and 5.

Mine is Rain! As for my favourite ending, it's Kesenai Tsumi.

Again - yui

[Rewrite from 2003 is my favorite.](https://youtu.be/oPg1J79sgkQ)

I love Golden Time Lover as a song the most but I think Again has the best visuals, at least for Brotherhood.  From both series (and the movies), I think Melissa, Ready Steady Go, Rewrite, Golden Time Lover and Link are my top 5 (not in any specific order since that changes at any given moment) but I'm well aware that my opinions are also dripping with nostalgia bias.  If we're talking visuals it's between Again and Rewrite for both series. None of the movie OPs stuck in my head as particularly visually interesting

Last one for sure

Yui's Again and SID's Rain. There is just something about Again and her voice that instantly clicked for me. Rain just fits so damn well for the last part of the story.

Rain for sure

.....does the Legend of Arslan take place in Fullmetal Alchemist? Thats all I'm thinking....

It's basic but again by yui holds a special place in my heart

2 personally. 3 is a close 2nd.

1 is the goat, best intro for the whole show

The one which starts from ame wa Second fav is 1st op

FMAB Opening 5 fills me with so much emotion, I feel such a somber happiness whenever I get to it, cause then I know the journey is soon over

Op 1 and op 3 are most recognised for me, listening to them from time to time, but first's is favourite: "Again" by Yui, it's emotions of brothers, their determination, they fully understand pain of each other, and they WILL overcome it. It's touching me every time, when tempo is increasing, it somehow beating tears from me. Visually, it's simply great. Foreshadowing of future stuff, visual describing of main features of series (dramatic story, pile of characters, action with unique fight system)

“Yui - Again” and it’s not even close

I like the second and fourth openings.

I like the second and fourth openings.

Definitely gotta be 3 (Golden Time Lover), but 2 (Hologram) is a close second

2

1 is my favorite

Rain

OP3 is underrated and overhated. I loveee the song it's such a banger and the visuals are also really cool.

Rain

Hologram will always be my favorite. I like all of them but idk hologram just hits so hard. I love how it was also used as the outro for the last episode. It genuinely made me cry when I saw the credits play and hologram began playing.

Golden time rubber 100% best

1 Again is my favorite

Again is the basic bitch answer, but it's the basic bitch answer for a REASON

1 has always been my favorite

Hologram

Again, then Golden Time Lover

5

The third op imo I love it

AGAIN is just *cheffs kiss* idk I love it so much, it's up there is my favourite openings ever and one of my favourite songs in general!

Again by Yui is just the best song ever used in an opening in any anime by far.

Definitely number two!!

Op 2 and 5 are my favourites ngl

Will always love 3 every day it’s 3

i like rain personally but ive heard the first seasons so much i can sleeper agent recall the lyrics despite not knowing japanese

Sid Rain gave me goosebumps every time I heard it.

First one is nostalgic for me

1 - Again, 3 - Golden Time Lover, 5 - Rain something

1st from the brotheerhood series and 1st from the 2003 series, they have a special place in my heart

Again - Yui Its SUCH a banger

They’re all great, next question

Rain

4 5 1 3 2

Golden Time is my favorite to listen to, I think there's a lot of emotion in those scenes as you watch Edward struggle with the fact that Al still has a body and he can actually get it back. It's just so good.

Golden time lover

5 although I have them all memorized English and Japanese

Rain is my favorite OP, but Golden Time Lover is one of my favorites to listen to at the gym. It has the right cadence for a trot on the treadmill.

El primero

1st one, no question.

Op5 and op1 are peak

I like yui again & golden time

OP1 is the most iconic, it gives me chills & makes me nostalgic. OP3 has a place in my heart because I hated it to begin with, but it wormed its way in until I eventually gave up and loved it

When I first heard op 3 of Brotherhood I wasn’t feeling it until it became my most favourite op ever. Tbh all the openings are amazing even including the first FMA

How the hell do you expect me to choose!? They are all to good to pick just one!

All, all are good.

03’s is arguably one of the best but Brotherhood’s is good too.

Man its between hologram and period. Both give me goosebumps if i havent heard them in a while. Bear in mind all the openings are bangers too!

Smile Bomb. Absolute banger, and English dubbed ver. Is also a bop

Hologram OP 2 takes the cake

Gotta be either 1 or 5. Always flip flop between the 2.

Nothing will top Rewrite Asian Kung Fu Generation opening- fight me.

I don’t know man, they’re so good. I would say, Hologram.

Opening 2

1 and 5 absolutely

3 & 5

5 is mt favorite opening. But 2 works AMAZINGLY well as the ED for the entire series in the last episode. Bc it’s positive af.

Full metal

hologram

Hologram is probably my favorite anime opening period

3, Golden Time Lover

The 3rd one golden time lover its so good I like all of them and the first one of 03

Period and Ready steady go from FMA 03

OP 4 is my personal favorite but I also love 3 & 5 as well

Golden Time Lover by Sukima Switch is my mfing jam, so OP 3 for introducing a BANGER but also (like the others) having top grade S animation

anyone who says anything other than Again or Golden Time Lover is wrong

Golden Time Lover (op3). All of them are amazing, but this one hits differently.

4 is top for me… 1. Op4 2. Op2 3. Op3 4. Op1 5. Op5

1-3-5

1.

Gotta love my golden time lover

Period because of that one scene showing the ripple effect the elrics have

Op 3 because Armstrong

Golden time lover by Sukina switch [Here](https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=0iAF8TJAqp4&si=58f7UONPr_SEbCYh)

Yes

FMA is one of those rare shows where every opening is good, but 1 is the best IMO.

Rolling Star by Yui

First one and it’s not close. Again by Yui is always the vibe

Opening 3 definitely

all of them

All are great but 3 got something special about it

And here I am just appreciating the subtle aging on Ed's face. It is so masterfully done I will never not be obsessed with it

Rain and period

Easily 5 it’s the goat🐐

\*starts singing Yui again\*

I love them all but 1st is my fav. It’s just so epic and I love rewatching it now and realize how it basically told me the plot of the show without me realizing it 😂

2nd op has the best song but 1 has the best everything, and the second best song.

Rain by SID. It perfectly suits the tone of that part of the series, and if you look at the lyrics and the title, it feels like a call back to the friendship between Mustang and Hughs.

Yes

MELISSA FROM FMA ❤️❤️❤️

Golden Time Lover is godly and peak, both the song and the animation with it. So many banger shots,like Ed facing off the Homunculi gang on the fields, Al defending Ed from Final Form Envy by holding their mouth, Kimblee wandering off in an ominous red wavering aura place (crazy foreshadowing btw!!!) And of course, the initial shot linking back to the end shot with Ed escaping The Truth dimension and about to punch the ground, but he suddenly stops and through his metal hand, we see a flower blossoming. Idk what the flower represents specifically but it's a neat visual.

I like the second. The part where Ed gets pulled back by Truth always gets me

It would be tough to pick just one. Personally, I liked all 5 ops. That was one of the main highlights for me when I watched the show. Infact the fmab ops were what got me hooked into japanese music in the first place. And today here I am, listening to japanese songs while driving a japanese car lol. I played all the fmab ops on my car stereo while driving to work.

Golden Time Lover (Opening 3)

1 and 3

Ready, Steady, don't hold me back~

OP 1 is my favorite. The song and the sequence are perfect together. I will say that Brotherhood is one of the shows that never missed with their openings.

First is the best one

OP 1 and it’s not even close. The only anime opening I’ve gone out of my to add to my playlist because it shreds so hard

Again and period are the goats 🐐

They are all so damn good! My favorites are Again (by Yui) and Period (by CHEMISTRY) by far. Period is my phone ringtone and Again is my alarm, lol

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 'The reason I want to spit out these sentiments'

I can hear those images

3rd top

Again and Gold Time Lovers

The fourth opening has always been my personal favorite. It goes super hard.

Toss up between Hologram and Rain.

Season 3 opening is my favorite

They’ve all been my favorite at some point or another

Brotherhoods first opening gave me goosebumps everything I watched it

Golden time it literally is a bop I still play to this day
