Fullmetal Alchemist

"The idea that to receive anything something of equal value must be given is played to a much more dramatic effect in this version compared to brotherhood/the manga. Overall Things are less humorous and more somber and I enjoyed that. Personally I recommend you watch this and the movie sequel before brotherhood. "

"Watch both this and Brotherhood you won’t regret it."

"I found this to be a strong adaptation. Some... creative choices were made different from the sorce material. Still a good anime; but Brotherhood is better!"

"Definitely a must see. If not for the tear jerking characters, then for the point it tells at the end. "

"not interested in fighting animes"

"Spoilers ahead, if you haven't seen STOP Greatest anime ever. Louis armstrong is literally the funniest ever but the funniest scene was when roy mustang announced that he would make girls wear skirts if he was the furher. It was joke but it was unexpected from his character, even though he makes snide remarks. The saddest moment ever was hughes died. When his daughter asking their burying daddy, he hasn't finished his working bawling. My fav alphonse. And it made consider a lot it things "

"Whole shows amazing, I will say that I don't think the end isn't as rewarding and the stakes aren't as high. But you have to watch the movie for the full conclusion and... It was good, it just made me sad"

"This was the first version that I watched, but I love both versions. The endings are completely different but I like that about this series. In order to gain something you have to sacrifice something. "

"Worth a watch, but FMA Brotherhood is far better. The storytelling here is not as dense, and not as deep. It also has no true ending where as FMA Brotherhood actually does."

"I liked this. I know it is an unpopular opinion, and many people say that Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is better, and I don't disagree with that but I think this is good too. It gets a little slow in the middle but the ending is great and unexpected. (And a little rushed)."
