Ah I wonder if that’s a thing that’s a preference for people who grew up with the 2003 anime. From my personal experience, most people prefer Brotherhood as the definitive adaptation of Hiromu Arakawa’s story, and either haven’t even bothered going back to the 2003 anime, or find ok but not as cohesive as Brotherhood (as you mentioned), or really dislike the departures it takes from the “canon” storyline.
As an aside, I did not expect to get into a discussion about FMA in an Everybody Love Raymond thread lol
Lol same but here we are!
Interesting insights as well. Appreciate it
I have to admit that the storyline with the little girl and some of the other emotional parts hit me harder in the original, because they were able to stretch out those relationships longer. But at other times, it stretched too long and that's where I appreciated Brotherhood going to the action quicker.
