Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood

@nhi_po: what episode did you get upto?

I've finished the old FMA anime plus the movie. Can someone tell me the difference between that and the brotherhood?

I've never watch the old anime before so I can't tell, but Brotherhood stories follow the manga more closely. The beginning is pretty much the same so it might be boring. You have to watch starting around 14th episode I think.

I'm watching ep 26 right now. Been watching it nearly every week. Much better than the old one.

How different is it to the FMA? I might start watching it, but i heard it's really slow? or boring at the start? If so what Episode should i start at.I've nearly finished the original FMA, and Brotherhood looks pretty awesome. And the the theme song in on my iPod. xD

kamuikurou · #22I've finished the old FMA anime plus the movie. Can someone tell me the difference between that and the brotherhood?

It's a lot different. In FMA they had so many fillers they decided to go with a different storyline entirely. FMA:B is a lot more focused on the world around them like Xing, and Ling and Scar and them are a lot more prominent. Also Mustang might as well be a main character along with Ed and Al. The starting is identical but near episode 10 it vears off the path.FMA:B is a lot better, FMA had too many characters (like Xing) who disappeared and never came back, and there's a lot of sulking in FMA. Compared to FMA:B there's also a lot of character development and a lot of moving forward type stuff.

Oh wow. This definetely go to my must watch list. :D Does the ending different than the old FMA?

Who knows, maybe it follow the manga's ending, but the manga still haven't finished yet.

So that how it is... I thought the old FMA ending is the same. I quite like the ending movie of the old series, but this brotherhood shouldn't go that way.

I imagine for the ending of FMA:B to be extremely different than FMA, for good reason. They left too much stuff open in FMA. Both FMA:B and the manga (apparently) isn't done yet, but it's safe to say that the ending will be different and won't be anything like FMA and the real world stuff. FMA:B follows the manga to a tee, although the starting is rushed up to Hughes' death, it's for good reason.

Yeah for sure, I can't wait to see how this series progress' further.
Though I haven't read the manga, I probably once I have some extra cash.

You should try it, frankly I like the manga better.
The Brotherhood is cool, but it's a little too serious than the manga.

;D The first anime adaptation was my favourite anime at the time, but I really like how this one sticks closer to the manga's plot. I've been watching the episodes on Funimation's youtube channel, and I gotta say, it's really high quality animation nowadays!The only thing that bugged me was that the art style felt a bit forced for this new season... does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Well, I kinda understand what your coming at. But I always thought, that the first anime adaption differed in style a bit from the manga. As in Brotherhood stays more true to Arakawa's art style.And animation technique has improved a great bit. I mean, it's already half a decade from the first anime. It would be just pathetic, if the new adaption looked exactly the same as the old one.

KiraSTRiKE, there's a website called www.onemanga.com that allows you to read manga online. They're up to FMA manga episode 100. Can anyone tell me if that's new?

It's the newest chapter, if you want to read some manga I suggest you visit there.

i have never watched FMA but full metal alchemist brotherhood is just simply the best among all the animes that i have watched....the current episode is about Father if i am not mistaken
