This is a disgrace to the Japanese language. Nihongo shouldn't be abused like this. :(

oh yeah I totally agree, I don't think that was compatible with the deadly sins thing at all, but I think it's more interesting than the deadly sins thing(mostly; the fact that all of their deaths in brotherhood were super ironic[with the possible exception of Lust] really tickles me)

I agree with the origin of the homunculi being good and used well but makes the idea of them being named after/embodiments of the seven deadly sins not make any real sense lol. What happens if an alchemist tries to bring an eight person back to life? Why do Greed and Gluttony seem more obsessed with their identifies as Sins (sort of at least, they're both big softies (other than, like, the murdering) in the end anyway) while most of the rest of them seem far more defined by their previous lives' identities and not that concerned with the "Sin" thing? Like I said I agree with you that it's a cool idea but it was retrofitted awkwardly onto character with baggage from a completely different idea (that IMO wasn't actually developed as well ironically).`

Brotherhood is way way better and also one of my very favorite shows, but will admit the pacing was a bit too fast in places (the Significant Death in the first third hit a lot less hard because of this imo). The 2003 anime had a little bit more time to get attached to the characters, even if they shit the bed on pacing after diverging from the manga. It also had some really cool ideas honestly:

[SPOILERS FOR FMA 2003] The whole "homunculi are created by people performing human transmutation, and look like the person they were trying to bring back to life" thing was a really cool idea, and imo was more interesting than the canon explanation. Also, Roy having been the one who killed Winry's parents, and the other world on the other side of the gate... more ideas I find really interesting, even if the execution wasn't quite there.

[END SPOILERS]

I also liked that Winry and the library girl were much more major characters; but on the other hand, they don't do my wife Riza Hawkeye the justice she deserves, and therefore actually 2003 FMA is garbage.

I loved Darker than Black season 1 but season 2 is really awful. It has been awhile since I watched it so I don't remember too much but Hei takes a young girl under his wing and more or less trains her as a child soldier, taking on the role of the verbally abusive drill sergeant/mentor. All of his endearing qualities are completely gone. There's a complete dearth of likeable characters and really bad pacing issues. I recommend skipping Season 2 because there isn't an ounce of any of the good stuff from season 1 in it.

Also I'm excited! Let me know what you think. Normally in order to watch anything I have to also be drawing or playing games but DTB frequently had me dropping what I was doing so I could pay full attention, which is rare for me.
