FMAB is shorter one so it's better that way I think

Fmab. I couldn’t get into fairy tail
Lolicons are scum.
BABYMETAL is more metal than Metallica.
Naruto is objectively the best anime ever.
HxH 99' is decent. HxH 11' is bad.

Imagine comparing Fairy Tail to FMAB.

Also, AVOID FT.

I watched both and loved both, ofc FMAB is better than FT but FT (1st season) is really good. The 2nd and 3rd seasons are awful. So which one shall you start with? I'd prefer FT since that after u watch FMAB you'll just feel that every anime else is bad.

I've only seen one of them, therefore I am obligated to vote for Fairy Tail. Because as we all know, anything we haven't personally seen must suck.

Watch hunter x hunter 2011 and jojo instead of fairy tale

Fairy tale is not too bad, but there is much better long running anime

I recommend watching FMA 2003 before Brotherhood, but Brotherhood is much better than Fairy Tail.

Fairy Tail, actually.

Both are mediocre anime, but Fairy Tail doesn't have any hype around it, whatsoever (in fact, it gets trashed on a daily basis), so you won't go in with insanely high expectations.

Less of a recipe for disaster.

FMAB, Fail Tail is not really worth anyones time, as it's way to childish for a battleshounen.

Today, more studio's shoud pick up things from FMAB to make them great.
As FMAB is a shounen that is more dark then most happy battleshounen are nowdays.

Today we get shoune where friendships beat everything, we have eps with flowers and paiitng coming to live and they can dance around.

But if you have the time you really shoud watch both verison fo FMA as they are both very good.

Obviously Fairy Tail is better. Very deep, thought provoking, complex and interesting story+characters. FMAB is purely fanservice with one dimensional characters and unoriginal story. This site is rigged and Fairy Tail has always been no.1 easily. Watch Fairy Tail and then never watch anime again, there would be nothing left to satisfy your palette.

FMA: B is the top ranked anime on mal, so that should give you a indication of how well it's liked, and for good reason. It's an amazing show. I also liked Fairy Tail, but for different reasons.

I'd suggest watching FMA: B first and then move onto Fairy Tail.

Watch Pupa or Hametsu no Mars instead. They are way shorter and after you see them you dont wanna see anything else.

That is not even a question tbh. Even at its best FT wasn't on the level of FMA, and it got progressively worse after the worst 100 episodes or so.
I probably regret this post by now.

Fairy Tail is lowkey the worst of the most popular Shounen....i mean its literally shit at almost everything.

FMA:B is a fun watch and probably one of the best shows for the Shounen demographic, i dont give 2 shits about Shounen since 99% of them are recycled themes, plot and characters but FMA:B is in the 1% were it certainly has recycled themes etc. At the same time it has, for Shounen standards good worldbuilding. Its nothing spectacualar tho.

Or go full circle and watch something actually good ;) a good starting point is something like Hametsu no Mars. Merry fucking Christmas.

Haven't watched FT so FMA:B. It's very good but not a masterpiece.

Quite surprised that you compared these two animes and asked which is better, Everyone in the forums seems to hate on Fairy Tail(And everyone praises fma). So i think is kinda pointless to ask something like this since everyone would do anything but praise fma and shit on FT(fma:b is top 1 and FT is somewhere in the thousands i think).

Actually i'm more surprissed by the fact that people actually voted for Fairy Tail, I always tought that the series was considered one of the worse of its genre, But i can't jugde on that matter since i haven't watched it anyways.

Watch both versions of FMA and maybe throw in HxH if you have time.

Don't waste your time with Fairy Tail. It gets progressively worse and the characters are as cookie-cutter as they come.

Watch Fairy Tail first, for sure, so that when you watch FMAB you can enjoy it a lot more, when the quality between a generic shounen and a real good one will be fully noticeable.

Not really a fan of either series, but Fairy Tail is one of the worst shows I have ever seen. I also wouldn't recommend FMAB, but if it seems like something you like, it should be fine enough. It didn't offend me as much as Fairy Tail.

I wanted to look at your list to use that as a reference point to for recommendations, but alas, it is private. In any case, FMA:B is far higher rated than Fairy Tail, also much shorter, and is genuinely considered by many as one of the best anime ever. The setting is fairly expansive, the cast of characters are diverse and developed, and the overall plot is very good. So I do recommend that.

However, both these anime fall under the 'battle shounen' genre, but fairy tail can be further classified as a Jump Battle Shounen, i.e. a long running battle shounen that usually have a fair amount of shared tropes. So, if you have enjoyed stuff like Bleach, Dragonball, Hunter x Hunter Naruto, One Piece, Black Clover, My Hero Academia, etc, chances are you will probably like fairy tail. Mind you, perceptions of quality for these series vary, and Fairy Tail is more on the lower end as far as I can tell. Give it maybe 10 episodes or so. The rest of the series is fairly similar but with higher stakes and stronger powers.

FMAB is one of the greatest anime of all time. you'll know after watching it


And FairyTail.. as the story progresses, the plot gets weaker. I'll be honest, being a fan of FairyTail for long. It's a great anime to start your interest in Animes

But FMAB is clearly leaps and bounds clear from FairyTail

Just enjoy watching FairyTail, don't get into the details..

Even though I watched both titles, my vote goes to Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.

Reason being, the story has deeper impact than Fairy Tail which overused the "Friendship" trope.
