Fullmetal Alchemist
| I've had FMA on my Plan to Watch list for some time now, but never started. My friend liked it, so that's why I planned to watch it. However, now I'm seeing that FMA2 is a remake, and some people are saying follows the manga more closely? Basically, what I want to know is, instead of watching FMA1, would there be anything negative about starting with FMA2? I already have a number of animes I'm currently watching and wouldn't mind waiting every week for the next ep and rather it would be easier on me. |

| May as well just wait for this if it is indeed a remake starting from the beginning. It'll be nice new widescreen (most likely HD) and all, which adds to the viewing enjoyment. And if you don't watch the original you won't be comparing the two and can just enjoy this run as it is. But we have to wait and see if it does intend to start over or pick up somewhere in the middle, or what. There still seems to be some confusion about it; most people are assuming it is a complete remake starting over, but a press release had called it FMA 2. Who knows yet. |
| Ahhh, ok. Thanks man. I guess when it starts up, I'll watch it and ask you or whoever if it is starting from the beginning. |
| |
| I'm wondering the same thing too, if it is indeed a remake of the whole series and fallowing the manga, I'll watch FMA2 instead of the FMA, I think I would enjoy it more anyway. I'd love to see how it turns out though, w00t. |
 |
| i don't care if its a remake i'll watch it and enjoy it all over again |

| This is not a remake. The first anime is considered completely stand alone in the FMA-verse as is the movie. Both are very well done and I think worth watching. FMA2 is going to follow more to the manga, so you will see some similar things but it will be very different. |
| If it is a remake, I'll probably watch it. I saw a few eps of the first series on TV, but never got around to watching all 51 of 'em. |
 |
| Yeah, my plan is to just watch this series without seeing the one from a few years ago. I just hope I won't miss out on too much (or anything) that would make more sense had I seen the first series. |
| this is not a remake. sure, the first few episode may consist of a filler just to get everyone up to speed as to what the series is, but it will not be a remake. the first series branches off mid-point when the death of a certain beloved character happens. i'm pretty sure that fma2 will pick off right after that happens (after it's filled everyone back up with the knowledge in case they haven't bothered to pick up the manga) and will continue on from there and actually give everyone one hell of a new series to go along with the original. keep in mind that A LOT of the things that happened in the second half of the original, will most likely never be mentioned in fm2 because they weren't a part of that universe and A LOT of changes will happen especially when it comes to the humonculi. =o! i hope that explains a bit ^^; also, READ THE MANGA! it's beyond great. |
| I Think it would be in the company bones' benefit to make it more like a sequel because why would people who already watched the first one want to watch this one? But it might be in there benefit if they make an alternative version because It would attract people who didn't watch the first one and those who want to find how the two series are different. |

| If you have seen the original FMA series, then chances are you will probably be blown away by this series. It is in a whole another league then the original FMA series. This series actually follows the manga story line. Well studio bones had there idea of an "original story" that took place after episode 28. It was still well done. But i think in the end Brotherhood is the superior series. Anyways for anyone who wants to know the differences between the two. Check out this list i compiled. On the left are the episodes from the the original series and on the right are the comparisons to brotherhood. Episode 1 Brotherhood (exclusive manga) Episode 1 = Episode 3 brotherhood Episode 2 = Episode 3 Brotherhood Episode 3 - Episode 2 Brotherhood Episode 4 = Filler Episode 5 = Filler Episode 6 = Half filler half manga Episode 7 = Episodes 4 Brotherhood Episode 8 = Filler Episode 9 = Filler Episode 10 = Filler Episode 11= Filler Episode 12 = Filler Episode 13 = Filler Episode 14 = Episode 6 brotherhood Episode 15 = Episode 5 Brotherhood Episode 16 = Filler Episode 17 = Episode 6 Brotherhood Episode 18 - Episode 7 Brotherhood Episode 19 = Episode 7 Brotherhood Episode 20 = Episode 8 Brotherhood Episode 21 = Episode 8 Brotherhood Episode 22 = Episode 8 Brotherhood Episode 23 = Episode 9 Brotherhood Episode 24 = Episode 9 Brotherhood Episode 25 = Episode 10 Brotherhood Episode 26= Episode 11 Brotherhood Episode 27 = Episode 12 Brotherhood Episode 28 = Episode 12 Brotherhood Full Metal Alchemist Episode 29-52 (original story) Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood Episode 13-64 (manga story) Thats bout the slice of it :P |
