@rjmendus This is stupid. Because you think that the one show is better than the other one, doesn't mean that nobody should watch this show. Like, I consider Love Live way better than the K-On!, but I never told anyone to not watch K-On!. They both are really cute, heart-warming anime and deserve to be viewed. So is it with this show. I really like it and so does a lot of people.

I'd argue that this show has actually aged quite well. It has the world building and narrative power to hold its own against the other phenomenal series that are out there. However, the simple fact is I could tell where the series diverged from the Manga simply because it felt different and in a way that was not nearly as perfect as the start of the series.

In addition, the graphics are a little choppy and they do show their age, especially when compared to something like Demon Slayer that turns the visuals of an Anime into a beautiful art form. Don't get me wrong, for the time period the animation is quite good, I'm just spoiled by having seen the magical works of art that come from decades more experience.

For primarily these reasons, I think I'm going to move onto Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood in the hopes that it takes such an incredible work of narrative art and makes it better to withstand the passing of time. I don't regret watching this series first, but I just know that Brotherhood can be everything this show was and more.

I watched it recently but it was amazing. Something u can watch with kids as well

One of the best anime I have watched. I think it is on par with avatar The Last Airbender and attack on Titan.

Not as good as Fullmetal Alchemis Brotherhood, but very, very creative.

please guys, don't watch this. its a waste of time. trust me brotherhood is way way way better than this! I've seen both so trust me!

I cried at the end of the first one but the movie is a continual of the show so i have to watch it but brotherhood was happier

I’ll never understand why this is so highly regarded. It’s not offensive, exactly, just not remarkable.

It has been a week since I finished this, and I'm still not sure how I feel about the ending. The pacing really threw me off, but the ending itself was actually really good. But there is just something about it that I can't get into. Anyway, I would definitely recommend people to watch both anime adaptations !! Personally though, I love Edward's characterization and arc, the homunculi lore, and the Big Bad villain here better than their FMAB counterparts. Maybe Roy Mustang's and Scar's respective characterization and arcs too, but I feel like their FMAB "endings" were stronger. But if I really had to pick between the two, I would choose FMAB because Olivier Mira Armstrong is my favorite character. I would also like to mention that Fullmetal vs Flame is such an iconic episode!

Fullmetal Alchemist is a great Sci-Fi Thriller anime of all time

I solemnly can say that it is almost as good as Avatar... Just in love with everything this show provides...

I'm surprised at seeing so much good comments, honestly.
I'm at the 45th episode and... well, it's just not that good. Fullmetal Alchemist was my 1st manga serie and I love it so much but I just don't really find the same spirit in this anime?
It's not that bad per se but it's deeply lacking if you compare it to the manga, especially with the character of Winry : it's like they totally forgot that she's also a badass. It's really frustrating.
I wouldn't say that it's a bad anime though. I really like the pacing and the show focus a lot on the relationship between Elric brothers which is definitely a good thing. The animation is also really satisfying.
Anyway, I'm going to watch Brotherhood soon and I hope I'll be more contented ~

Amazing one of the best series I have ever seen especially the song : brajita brothers :))
