One of them is horribly written slop with generic retarded themes that fall apart upon closer inspection/when you apply them in real life, not to mention the grievously unfunny cringe humor.
The other one has Nazis in it.
Which one do you choose Anon Babble?
2003 has the same humour.
This thread again
The one without nazis. Nazishit is cringe and h*tler lost
It's much less egregious about it
Take your meds funnyschizo.
"slop"posting
Thread was dead before even posting it
i prefer 2003, more compressed and better written. brotherhood while is nice to see ed slowly growing not just as character but in age it felt like there was so much going on it was almost distracting from the important plots
It was more tolerable because the edgy stuff balanced it.
Stop samefagging funnyschizo. It's sad.
I feel like 2003 had better direction, it was just more atmospheric and bleaker. Kind of like Monster.
2003 had better character designs and in most cases a superior shot composition and setting/atmosphere, Brotherhood on the other hand, had better color and animation.
The other one has Nazis in it
really? i don't recall any nazis in brotherhood
Retard comparing fma 03 to monster again
Stop it dude, it really makes you look pathetic
Go back and then kill yourself shill
le protagonist dies... but not really!
why did we like this shounenslop again?
They both aired around the same time so they have similar animation (2003-04 vs 2004-05). Same time as Kino's Journey and Paranoia Agent. The original FMA borrowed more from deep anime than Brotherhood.
its soooo deep bro
You aren't representing 03 fags very well. You have enough self awareness to see this right?
Except he essentially does since he never returns to the original universe (Conquest of Shamballa is optional), which is bittersweet compared to the "everyone lives happily ever after" ending of Brotherhood
It had more philosophical undertones than Brotherhood whose main message is "don't give up" and "revenge is bad"
youtube.com
the movie that wraps up the plot is optional
yeah okay
How does he "essentially" die if he doesn't actually die? Do you hear yourself right now? You fucks are truly the saddest most coped out fucks of the anime community
I really need to sit down and rewatch FMA 2003 sometime.
You really don't.
NTA, but it's cause it's basically a sort of reincarnation in the Buddhist sense in a totally different reality. Ed basically gets Isekai-ed to our world, and is essentially dead for good in his own.
I do. It's one of my main inspirations, and as people here are pointing out, a lot of it is the mood and atmosphere and darker themes.
Shill complaining about another shill in a shill thread for the same IP
it might be worthwhile. these cope threads are much funnier when the nonsense that happens in the second half is still fresh on your mind
You've watched it enough, funnyschizo. You're the only one "pointing out" anything.
I'm not your boogieman dude, lol. I'm not even OP. But I do generally agree with the opinion that FMA 2003 is better, despite also being flawed. At least, I personally like it more.
its been awhile but isn't the movie all about getting him back to his original reality? or does that just not count
It still ends with Ed and Al being in the real world, leaving behind the world they knew, as opposed to Slophood where Ed marries Winry and gets everything he wants. Bittersweet, the kind Faghood-worshipping MALtards just wouldn't understand
I honestly can't remember. I do remember it had actual Hitler in it or something. I remember the opening fight between Alphonse and Gluttony being cool. And I remember the ending still being a compromise of sorts.

I feel like Brotherhood is really what gave FMAfags the brony reputation, I mean look at them. They think FMAB and Demon Slayer is "le peak" and have never seen actual good series like Texhnolyze that make you think
MALtards
So when are you gonna start directing your hate towards frieren? That's the new MALslop, brotherhood is for boomers at this point
Texhnolyze
Good
Look I dislike both FMA and FMAB but implying in any way that Texhnolyze is good is like asking for people to disregard your opinion and spit on you
Brotherhood would have been perfect if it had more tonal consistency like 2003. I still prefer Brotherhood but the gag faces piss me off, it happens way too much.
preferring 03 is peak hipster contrarianism so they just latch onto whatever obscure show they can
I like Frieren, it's thoughtful and not mindless shonen slop like Brotherhood. I'm glad it got rid of that garbage as the #1, though it's still too high as #2 (although that is what FMAB objectively is in a literal sense). Being a MALtard/FMAutist is more of a sentiment, a zeitgeist, you can find those idiots all over leddit and other anime ranking sites where FMAB is still #1, mostly due to their rampant botting problem
it happens way too much
It doesn't happen nearly as often in the second half of the show if you actually rewatch it, around episode 30 to be exact
I like Frieren
Glad you admit you have shit taste at least, we can safely disregard your opinions from now on
Ultimately Frieren is the lesser evil, the fact that people still think Brotherhood is "good" is embarrassing. Glad it's quickly getting forgotten and increasingly irrelevant, just like Arakawa
I don't remember seeing many nazis in FMAB.
I don't love Frieren, in fact I haven't seen past the second episode, but I still like it mostly because Brotherhood fags got mogged and cucked, which is surprising because of how much those autists botted MAL for over a decade
if you arent going to read the manga you need to watch the 2003 show in order for Hughes to matter at all. Brotherhood blow right passed him, assuming your familiarity with the character. Seeing 2003 makes Brotherhood a better experience, and Mustang's admiration and anger is easier to understand.
It doesn’t matter anyway because the whole alternate world asspull is so ridiculous that makes everything worthless and very stupid.
I haven't seen past the second episode
I like Frieren
Is this supposed to make you look any better?
Actually please keep embarrassing yourself, I'm logging all of this for future reference
It was a great twist that was foreshadowed, similar to the ones in shows like Lain where it messes with the viewers' minds, which is why brotherhood sucking autists don't like it since it's not "simple" like JJK and Demon Slayer and all the slop they eat up
so you claim to not care about MAL and how its a site for normies yet you like a show solely because it took the number 1 spot on a site you supposedly don't care about?
As multiverses usually do. It's probably an even worse writing trope than time travel, ngl.
false flagging to make 03 fags look retarded
Keep seething FMAtroon, one day you'll realize how most of society truly views your kind
The energy for alchemy comes from all the people that die in our world
Great twist
I feel like that fundamentally misunderstands what Hermetic Alchemy is all about.
It adds a poetic irony to Ed's personal ethics, as he wants to avoid killing yet his own use of alchemy can only be sourced from the deaths of others, complicating his simplistic self righteous worldview.
Meanwhile Brotherhood
kill yourself faggot, don't taint hermeticism with your idiocy
dude racism bad lmao
I do sometimes forget how generic and retarded 03 is. It's like philosophy for the 13 year old.
dude we can solve racism with the power of friendship lmao
Brotherhood is literal babyshit
only way to defend 03 is by comparing it to brotherhood
ever consider maybe they're both dumb shows for young children?
Lol. None of that suggest something akin to a parallel world being the source of your magic. Especially since magic in FMA is treated as a scientific concept.
Something more like Warp from Warhammer would have made way more sense, as it aligns with "As Above, So Below."
Which makes it very comedic when there are autists who botted MAL to make it #1 for over a decade and continue manipulating other websites because they're that obsessed with their little cartoon
I am literally watching 2003 right now, again. Ed is killing his mom. So much retarded shit
you are a sad little man lmao
Lmao
It's emotional, which Brotherhood tards wouldn't understand because the biggest moral dilemma they faced was "we shouldn't kill this genocidal monster we've been chasing the entire show because revenge is no bueno"
FMA 03 might be the worst written show I've ever watched to completion. Seriously I have seen harem anime with less inconsistencies in the plot than that show. The first half is still really good though
because they're that obsessed with their little cartoon
Self awareness of a turnip.
Why is his mother made of water? How is this emotional? There is literally a monkey screaming in the background the whole time named wrath. Also why is he named wrath? Why is she named sloth?
The first half is good because it follows the actual plot of FMA/brotherhood funny enough.
why is he named wrath? Why is she named sloth?
we didn't think that far ahead, please understand
