| I keep on hearing people say this. Can HxH surpass FMA:B? Has it already done so? Thoughts? |

While they are both shounen, FMAB is only 65 episodes while HxH will easily go over 100. The powers are more developed in HxH, but right now the story is better in FMAB than in HxH. |

| I was thinking the same thing. Complete opposite. FMA:B>HxH>FMA 2003 I'm still watching HxH (Almost complete), but yeah it's really better then FMA original(Well, I think it is.), but I still got to give it to FMA:B. Thanks for reminding me though. Keep forgetting to update my list. |
Touch me, you filthy casual~ |
| Well, Mikasa likes pseudo-grimdark and edgy stuff... Still, this question is kind of strange as HxH is the adaption of a weekly WSJ manga with 300+ chapters while FMA is the adaption of a monthly manga. Or what other categories do you refer to? HxH being FMA as in "popular not 'Big 3' Shounen" ("Big 3" is an idiotic term invented by Western idiots anyway)? Or as in "animation reboot of a good/popular Shounen manga"? |

But I don't think the rest will change my mind much. @Nid just because there's violence doesn't make FMA or HxH grimdark. Actually going a bit below that makes them go to "too kiddy to show stuff" territory. But FMA:B's violence is fine. What sucks is the execution. What made me love FMA 03 is how powerful the scenes with Nina and Maes as well as others. Brotherhood made those suck ass with how rushed they were. The rest is the same "funny because it's badly drawn" comedy we see in Magi. Even the midget jokes are overused, overdone and the delivery of the punchline is off. So basically it's 40% comedy that isn't funny and the rest is awesome animation of badly executed scenes. New material is good but the whole hommunculi transforming into giant ugly monsters makes it seem like it's going the "too cliche" route. Ling on the other hand shows promise. So, no. HA, YN, GI, CA and HC13E arcs are all individually better than what i've seen of Brotherhood so far, whereas 2003 had more impact. |

Mikasa said: The only thing you've seen in Brotherhood is what's been remade from 2003 + like 5 episodes, the rest is completely different. You haven't gotten to the best and powerful scenes in in the whole story let alone Brotherhood so you're wrong to say it isn't good at the execution of those scenes. Watch all of it before you complain of it not having something.No. 31 so far. But I don't think the rest will change my mind much. @Nid just because there's violence doesn't make FMA or HxH grimdark.

| Not for me. If the whole series were to be like the Genei Ryodan arc then i would consider it, but it's not. |
| yes |
| The only good thing about FMA is how the first series handled it. Other than that there's absolutely no way FMA is better. Even if it has asians. |

There is no need for a thread like this.... FMA B, Old FMA , and HxH 13 are all great  |
| They're both better than the "big three", so who cares. Sides, you can also mention Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. |

| FMA= FMA:B > HxH 2011 >>>>> HxH '99 FMA is just better in most respects. Tells a more intricate story with more interesting and likeable characters and combines more genres for an overall well-packed story. HxH is too inconsistent in comparison, and '99 was just bad. Half of it is spent on one of the less interesting arcs and slowest starts in anime in general. Couldn't finish it when the better 2011 version was available to watch. |

| HxH 1999 => FMA:B > FMA >>>>> HxH 2011. Can't decide which one I like better, HxH 1999 or FMA:B. Maybe HxH 1999 a little bit more but it lacked the emotional impact that FMA:B had. I still put it in front of FMA:B though, slightly. |

| I wonder if FMA 2003 and HxH 1999 would still be ranked so low (well not so much) on this site (or elsewhere) if FMA;B and HxH 2011 never existed |
Agafin said: ^^ You gave it a 7 though, there can't be that many ">"s 7 by my ''I'm new to anime'' standards, which is a 5 or a 6 by my standards today, don't feel a point in changing it. I would re-watch FMA:B just to see why it's praised so much, maybe I've missed a lot of stuff, when I first watched, but then again the thought of watching it again, bores me a lot. |

It's easy to watch, widespread, and relatively well-done, so it's basically the Bebop effect. He doesn't like Bebop either. Interesting to see all the choices for '99. This should have a poll. |

My exact sentiment. But rather than impressive, memorable is a more fitting word for me. Most of my thoughts on FMA:B are this simple: Exciting beginning, forgettable and boring middle (which is the majority of the show) and a good albeit anti climactic ending. |

That's actually interesting because those are generally the least liked episodes. Taking your post in opposite would then be a better perspective. |
