Xing Symphony is definitely a contender for the best music in the soundtrack, it’s just so epic and distinct and fun that it makes you want to start jumping and doing flips 😂

You expected a big comeback from Bradley, I think they absolutely delivered. Bradley vs tank - one of my favorite scenes. He's such a badass. Can't tell you how many times I watched that 😍🤣 and yes I'm also sad for the Briggs soldiers (since I'm such a big fan of them. They are such a great addition to the story) but I have to admit - I enjoy Bradley's fight scenes way too much. Sorry not sorry😳😁

Bradley is a monster. I believe Arakawa even said in an interview at one point that if he had been in his prime during the series, she wouldn't have been able to think of a believeable way for the heroes to best him. FMA is grounded in a more realistic setting and may not have over the top mountain destroying powers like others in its genre, but the sheer SKILL that Bradley has is insane for the setting.

Every time you say „Oh my goodness“ it seems like your at the peak of your hype haha No, most of the times the mangaka/OG writer has almost nothing to say during a anime production. It is very very rare that a mangaka/writer gets a chance to decide something like Isayama but I also don't know if Arakawa did decide some things here. The production commitee decides all that kind of stuff, how long the show is gonna be, how much they will adapt, how much time they have to produce the show etc. How animes are produced over there is very different from how western media gets produced. The production committee has the call and that’s also why many fans call out the production committee as soon as a anime has a bad production or bad animation in general. There are are animes that don’t have any production comittees cause it only consists of the studio that produces the anime itself. Examples for that would be Chainsaw Man and Re:Zero. I think Mushoku Tensei has a production committee but that animation studio got founded just to produce the anime which is crazy but I’m not 100% sure with these examples but they exist.

How much of a say on things authors have is a case-by-case thing and varies for all adaptations. They can have a pretty big say on things if they want to, and for what I'm aware of Isayama hasn't gotten any kind of special treatment; he just chooses to be more involved. Many authors let the anime staff do their thing. The committee decides how long of a production gets funded - but for longer shows like this the episode count is not set in stone when the series starts airing. They believed the anime would end around March of 2010, but ended up lasting until July; the manga ended in June. The last four episodes were boarded according to Arakawa's drafts of chapters that weren't finished yet when it was time to do so. I don't think she had any kind of a say on the pacing of the series. An educated guess (only thing you can do as an outsider) is that Masahiko Minami is largely responsible for the health and treatment the adaptation got. He was part of the committee and is known to work close with the anime staff. I think he is pretty much the only person who'd have any kind of authority on multi-million dollar stuff like the episode count (I guess through him Arakawa *technically* could have had a slight "say," but again depending on how involved she was). And Re:Zero has a committee. It's in the credits of the anime, but its parties aren't listed beneath it. If there's a committee, there are numerous companies involved. *edit: Fixed stuff I remembered incorrect. *edit: Quote from an interivew with series director Yasuhiro Irie. Which confirms that Arakawa wasn't involved in the production. "For the production of Brotherhood, the original author, Arakawa-sensei, did attend first meetings, and of course she also checked the storyboards and the scripts at that time, but she was too busy because of the magazine serialization schedule, so she and the editor just attended the meetings for the first episodes. They were there to sort of check and see what kind of direction the production was heading and what kind of approach we were taking. Instead of saying that there wasn't much creative freedom, I'd rather say the standard was basically just the manga. That was sort of like the Bible for the whole thing; all the meetings and the whole process was about figuring out how best to convert the manga into anime." It's spoiler free and not even about FMAB (if Im sees this and wants to read it). https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2017-11-30/interview-yasuhiro-irie/.124659
