Brotherhood is similar to the first FMA series, lot of the same characters, although there a some completely new, and the premise is almost the same, the retrieval of Ed and Al's original bodies. What changes is Brotherhood follows the storyline of the manga almost perfectly, the main villain of the story-from the weakling Dante to the Mad almost God-like Father, Wrath and Pride are different people, and Winry is a little more.... Woman-like? You'll get the picture....
Bottom line, Brotherhood is a darker, more serious, more deadly series in my mind. I never quit wanting to know who the next more powerful Homunculi would be, or if we would finally see Father, see Ed and Al's father, if the boys would get their bodies back, if Scar would ever be stopped, if Mustang would ever avenge his friend....
There's one thing in the series that I wish wouldn't have ever taken place, but it had to-FMA:Brotherhood ended. The ending was great, it gave closure, and the Final Battle was an all ought assault that left a piece of Central Destroyed and a body count on both sides, so it didn't disappoint, but I hate that it ended. I eagerly devoured each episode and when that next episode would no longer be on the horizon, a little piece of my anime addiction was gone, but not forgotten....
GO GET THIS SERIES. NOW!
