I'm planning to watch either Full Metal Alchemist or Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood from start to finish (watched bits and pieces of the original series but not the whole thing) and i wanna know if one is better than the other.

brotherhood
you stupid. XD



You cant compare the two.

FMA is its own anime and own storyline.
Brotherhood follows the manga.

So i would watch FMA get to know the characters.
Than read the manga and watch brotherhood.

The manga was fuckin amazing... the original FMA anime was sooo disappointing. Not sure what area of space they were pulling those ideas out of but... jesus, they were awful. The manga flowed much more smoother, same with Brotherhood(Not to mention the production value of brotherhood is far greater).

Oh, and the FMA Manga/Brotherhood also has a proper ending... instead of the original crud.

I watched Brotherhood. Fucking amazing. (Manga finally finished, cool ending.)

Honestly haven't given the first FMA anime a try, I'm surprised some people say it's better than Brotherhood, which follows the manga storyline. So I might eventually pick it up.

at this point, i'd say brotherhood, but i do have a soft spot for the other version.

If you are starting from the beginning start with brotherhood and read the manga as well it's amazing.
