Fullmetal Alchemist
| Hey, I just finished Fullmetal Alchemist without any research so my question is. ''Is there any value in watching brotherhood?'' I actually enjoyed 2003 Fullmetal alchemist but now after little research I found that Brotherhood is just a remake anddd I am not sure if I want to watch it cuz I don't want to spend my free time on anime which I've already seen. So if you would be on my place, would you watch it ? Or whats the main difference between them? |

| After the first half of the old series is where the story diverges from the manga and the old anime created it’s own conclusion. Brotherhood is a remake where it goes through the full manga storyline. After the first ~13 eps of brotherhood it then goes on to manga storylines that hadn’t been adapted in the original so it would mostly be a new experience for you |
| It's vastly different, but not really worth watching. It's preferable to read the manga if you want. |
| 80% of brotherhood is completely different from the old series so yes it is worth watching. |

| yeah Most of parts in Brotherhood and this one are different I'll say one(without major spoilers) in FMA when Elric brothers went to Hughes' house his daughter hasn't born, Wife was pregnant. but in FMAB when they went Hughes' place his daughter was already born(this is just a tiny difference) believe me there are more. and also Story endings... You should try FMBA too π· |
 |
| The first 10 or so eps are the same, but after that it's completely different. Since you liked the original you'll probably like Brotherhood too and might even like it more. |
| It's not exactly a remake, but a reimagining of the source material. Give it a try and you might like it more than the older version, most do. Brotherhood skims through a lot of the early content so you're probably not going to get much of the feeling that you're watching the same series. |

Next time If i would recommend it to my friends I wanna know which one is better (for anime rookies)I first watched brotherhood, then the original. There are some differences but not a lot. The main story is the same. I would recommend just starting another anime. There are lots of great ones left. |

| FMA(03) only follow's the manga in starting.And brotherhood is almost adapted from the manga.And there are lot of difference in both of them. |

| Both are very worth the watch! I think both versions are wonderful, and Brotherhood has the added bonus of being faithful to the manga, so its writing is definitely a bit tighter. Don't worry too much about wasting your time, Brotherhood gets to manga-only content about 14 episodes in. Everything before that will be familiar already, and the bulk of Brotherhood's story only comes after. |
| I would say that there's definitely some value in watching Brotherhood. When the series was recommended to me by a friend they told me to watch both. I watched the original first then went back to Brotherhood about 2 years later. I liked both but ended up liking the latter more. And I think that watching the 2003 Fullmetal Alchemist gave me even more of an appreciation for Brotherhood. It's not a total remake because it is a longer show that's story diverges about a third or halfway in. The overall tone of both shows are different too. The original was a lot funnier whereas Brotherhood is more dramatic. I do think the original does a few specific things better (like the Nina episode), but Brotherhood seems to have a clearer and more thought out story overall. |

What exactly is ruined 'bout him ?BiohazardBK said: Hey, I just finished Fullmetal Alchemist without any research so my question is. ''Is there any value in watching brotherhood?''

So if you would be on my place, would you watch it ? Or whats the main difference between them? You can watch it because the finale and midway journey is completely different from FMA 03 , but brotherhood ruins characters of lust , some Homonculi , and Roy , but also some characters are better like Greed and King Bradley and sister of Mr.Armstrong . |

| Like everyone is saying, it's not really a "remake". And many consider to be brotherhood to be better |
 |
| Between the two I did prefer Brotherhood (may or may not have been influenced by the knowledge of knowing Brotherhood is canon material whereas the other one was anime original after a while.) but yes, the tone and storyline is drastically different! I’d give it a watch ^u^ |
wittyacorn said: yea, i am in 4th episode and i saw many difference, i will keep that in mind, Thank youI liked FMA03 better but Brotherhood is definitely worth a watch. Just don't watch it immediately after finishing '03. Approach it with a fresh mind. Otherwise, the first few episodes will be kind of boring since they cover many of the same plot points. But you can't skip them either because there are a few small differences that will be important later on. |

| nah FMAB is mid as f...u will be dissapointed ......don't recommend watchin it.......... |
 "I don't know about you But I'm feeling 22 Everything will be alright if You keep me next to you You don't know about me But I'll bet you want to Everything will be alright if We just keep dancing like we're 22, 22" |

It's shorter and actually sticks to the canon. Easier to get into. Edit: you might notice I don't have the original FA on my list, but I did watch some of it. My older sister is the one who watched the whole thing, though. She also recommended Brotherhood to me. |

We barely get to know some of the early homunculus, but it's still enjoyable and I didn't really get confused on the storyline. |
