| FMA Brotherhood is a good show. I think it does deserve it's praise, however the original FMA deserves more of it. Why People hate FMA 2003: -Not a happy ending -Did not follow manga -As a result, certain characters were not seen e.g. Ling, Olivier Armstrong Why FMAB is a good show: -Great Story. Goal of the plot changes because the brothers find themselves entangled with something much bigger than they think. -Great Characters -Good animation Why FMA is better IMO: -Focus remains on Al and the search for the philospher's stone. Plot more based around that instead. -So much darker tone that ties into the series' themes. Shou Tucker trying to bring back Nina. Edward on the verge of transmuting prisoners into the Philospher's Stone. The episode focused on Lust. Edward's conflict with killing Sloth. -Homunculi. Lust, Sloth, and Wrath are all well developed, Lust being my favorite and her conquest to become human. The show also reveals how they come about, via the obsession of humans which has more depth than being created by an evil being. -The ending. The ending was more than a happy ending(which is still good), I love how the moral isn't hard work always means equal gain, because that's been proven in the series to be wrong, and has been reflected to be true in real life as well. At times people work hard and get nothing as discussed by Dante, and that's simply the nature of the world. Not perfect. The moral really is if you keep working hard you are bound to be paid back, not that you can immediately expect working hard to mean equal gain- it's a promise as Alphonse says. -The apparent message that even if you gain something, doesn't mean you didn't pay for it before. If you lose something, it doesn't mean you didn't gain something. Ties in with equivalent exchange. Seen in Dante's dialogue and the ending conversation with Edward and Hohenheim. -The soundtrack "Brothers" and all it's variations. |
| “Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth. But the world isn't perfect, and the law is incomplete..." -Alphonse Elric "Then and now, what I protect has never changed!" -Sakata Gintoki I'll take anything like The Pet Girl of Sakurasou. Anything as good as that. |

Myklen said: Well said. FMA 2003 will always be a "classic", darker and more creative. -Not a happy ending (So what? Why can't people accept stories for what they are "stories"!!! This is the story the creators of 2003 created, how can something be bad for not having a happy ending? I thought creating fiction is about making your orignial story. If I tell you of a hero who dies after saving the princess people will say: why does he have to die? BAD!!! 5/10 " Because thats the story deal with it"!!, people acting like little children... who love bright things and average junk -Did not follow manga (Unfort. but just because it doesn't follow the Manga doesn't mean it's bad", people should clearly see why its a good series) -As a result, certain characters were not seen e.g. Ling, Olivier Armstrong ( I understand if MANGA readers are sad about that) People shouldn't hate "hate" FMA 03 maybe point these things out instead of acting like FMA B fanboys who are little children which love everything that looks nice and is funny. Berserk? AHH it's scary and disgusting :D :D I will stay with Naruto, Avatar and Ladybug Or it could be that people don't have a problem with those things per se, but they just didn't they were done that well in the anime. That doesn't mean they're children. Chill out dude, jeez. |

| FMA 2003 is fucking excellent. FMAB is just just that much superior. |
 |
| FMAB was pretty generic, not bad but just nothing special unlike FMA. Really love the latter, one of my first anime that showed how awesome this medium could be. A shame its bashed so much since lame FMA:B came out. |
| YEAH BRO, I definitely agree I liked 2003 better because everything just falls into place and it's such a nicer story to follow because you actually know the goal and can actually see them working towards their goal. to me the ending was not a happy or bad end, it was very realistic and I can accept that because that's what the show was, realistic. It ended off with a high note and I was a little sad that there was no winry and ed ending, but in my opinion it was an ok or maybe even a good ending the movie was kinda shitty but hey, we got to see al and mustang again and I'm good with that it was sad that they don't get to see everyone else, but I think it's fitting that they at least ended up together because they're like two peas in a pod! You can't separate them... edit: i finally got around to finishing fmab and i must say that the ending is better and it feels more concise but like the last 10 episode were amazing and the rest is like actually so boring (actually its specifically the first l40 episodes) i may be a bit over-critical to this to '03 tho |
