I love both 03 and BH, but the manga is by FAR my favorite, for many reasons- including the ones you listed. I still haven’t forgiven BH for taking the scene where the Elrics and Hughes acknowledge that Winry was right, that sometimes words are necessary for communication- and completely reverses it to prove Winry wrong, for no reason that I can discover.
@@dragoncat5767 I guess if you count Conquer of Shamballa as canon then that. Otherwise the story just ends at the end of the series with Ed on the other side of the gate and Al having forgotten the memories of their journey together throughout the series. Sad ending for sure, but very well written and executed. My own opinion and can totally respect others! Cheers
@@dragoncat5767 It’s a great watch. Goes by fairly quickly once you start getting into it. Very different from manga/brotherhood but something very special about the atmosphere and music. Enjoy!
I'm still mad brotherhood left out the part with Alphonse threatening Shou Tucker. It had added so much to his character and showed Ed wasn't the only one affected by it.
Same yo, I just want another FMA series that basically puts the manga on the screen. Brotherhood was an after thought to complete the story since the original anime took such a left turn with it. But ya know whatcha gonna do when it only has like 60 episodes?
I went into the manga knowing basically nothing about the series, but I had vaguely heard about a very sad chimera scene. I thought that I would be spoiled, but oh my god I still didn’t see it coming. I didn’t even realize I read the “sad chimera scene” until I finished the chapter cause I was THAT shocked
Not being funny the beginning is that rushed in manga the "sad chimera scene " just kind off goes by its shit but don't get me wrong full metals hype asf but the beginning is a drag and that scene is poorly delivered
I like how the manga and 03 handled Tucker and Hughes death way better than FMAB. They took their time and developed the characters first. FMAB feels like they're just telling you to care about the characters before they do something while 03/manga actually makes you care about them. I also don't much care for the random comedy in the middle of a very tense moment.
"I don't think Ed has much personality in Brotherhood." Accurate. Especially coming off of '03, Ed feels watered down in Brotherhood. Oddly enough, where '03 really explores Ed as a character and makes the story feel like it's about him and his journey, Brotherhood feels like Al is more of the main character. Even going so far as to give Al more of the 'epic fight scenes' treatment.
To be fair, I think both Elrics get pretty watered down in Brotherhood, compared to their manga portrayal. They’re both a lot less flawed, entire chunks of Al’s arc and personality are missing, and Ed starts to feel strangely complacent, when he’s meant to grow in the opposite direction.
I think they could've scrapped the first episode of FMAB and used those 22 minutes for Yoki and the train. I mean, Episode 1 only exist to tease some story elements from the manga. Honestly, that's kind of obnoxious. "Ha ha! We'll show you how loyal this adaptation is going to be! ...by creating a completely original Episode 1." The manga also doesn't give us the full picture of the brothers' human transmutation until much later (Volume 6). So that means in the manga the Tucker incident was the first time the brothers failed to save the day.
Exactly! Brotherhood’s Episode 1 also makes the entire Liore episode pretty obsolete, since it reveals the Elrics’ trauma, has the antagonist discover Ed’s automail and Al’s empty armor, introduces the philosopher’s stone, and proves the stone a fake. As a result, when Liore rolls around, it feels rushed and repetitive, which is tragic because in the manga, it’s pretty much the ideal introduction.
Having read the mange for the first time back in 2019 I full on agree with how the manga in a majority of the time was better than how Brotherhood adapted the material. Plus looking back on it it did feel like they were rushing quite a bit to get to the Promised Day arc which is my favorite part of Brotherhood but it is unfortunate the adaptation had to be rushed along the way to get there. Great vid btw.
I don’t agree with the brotherhood opinion (I love it), buuut I do agree the manga is so much better I’m so addicted to it and I love the art, Hirumi arakawa draws so good! I feel much more in the manga tbh it makes me feel so much more things than the anime. Although nothing to do, but I really wished they had added Brothers to Brotherhood, when I started watching the 2003 version I fell in love with the song why they didn’t added it, I don’t know
The manga overall is better than the anime adaptation and fills in storylines to make the journey matter. - Adding substances to each small encounter. - Going into the simple and complexion of human beings. - How Edward relationship philosophized his choice with science and reaches a greater impact the narrative. I wish Bones could had adapted the beginning of Brotherhood properly.
The most hated thing i have with brotherhood is it’s comedic moments cuz it’s always ruining scenes but I still love brother hood and it’s my 2nd favorite anime but man they screwed it up .
@@somethingsomething9008I think the issue comes down to timing and medium. A comedic moment happening on the periphery of a scene in a manga can provide interest and levity without taking you out of the moment, while in animation, it takes up the entire screen for far longer than it would take you to read it.
I might have to give the manga a try. I've heard that brotherhood is not a manga perfect adaptation (despite fans claiming it is), which isn't a problem in itself of course-- except that brotherhood seems to only make changes for the worse, cutting out a lot of great moments from the manga. I feel like brotherhood messes up the introduction to many of its characters, which also negatively affects the rest of the series. That first episode, which throws a lot of characters at the viewer really quickly, doesn't help. 2003 nails character introductions, and I'm guessing the manga does too. Good stuff, keep up the good work!
Brotherhood makes everything...easier. Especially when it comes to characters. Their motivations and personalities are simplified to a great extent. No one in brotherhood is hard to understand, no one. It is very black and white in it's depiction of morality, personalties and systems. For example, Hughes is a great example of a character being purity washed in brotherhood. Certain actions and comments that were ambiguous in 03 and the manga become unironically "good" in broho. Like Hughes compartmentalizing during the war, the manga gives you space to have your own judgment on that. However, Brotherhood has Mustang say that Hughes is really strong for it and gives him heroic music. It's so gross. I have my issues with the manga, but I agree that it is much better than Brotherhood. If I had to list my most fav fma media to my least favorite, it would be: 03, manga. Brotherhood, Shambala, Milo's, the live action movie.
No I actually agree with you on this. As much as I love Brotherhood, I have to admit it was corny at times. Sure, I think there were scenes that had excellent delivery and stellar animation, but it doesn't make up for the rushed introduction or the over the top comedy. Even the cinematography is not a strong point for Brotherhood since numerous shots seem to be copy pasted panels from the manga. Yes, there are impactful panels in the manga but like you said, it doesn't necessarily work in an anime as it is a different medium. The manga has scenes that I'm surprised were omitted from Brotherhood and the artwork is exceptional, especially for a softer artstyle. It may not be as heavily detailed as other series but its strengths lie in being easy to follow since it doesn't deviate toward minor details and it has it's own personality. Even then, I think Arakwa has incredible panels that unfortunately go unnoticed since the quality of online scans take away the shading and linework she implemented. I still love Brotherhood as it has its strengths but I as well prefer the manga.
I’m not surprised. I watched both shows last summer and I’ve been wanting to get the manga because I was curious about the possibility that it fixes many of my problems with Brotherhood. The fact that so many of BHs problems (from what I can now presume) werent even there in the source material becomes much more laughable when you remember that the manga was written AND DRAWN by one woman by herself publishing one chapter a month over the course of ten years all the while (to my knowledge) popping out TWO KIDS during said ten year period while still remaining on schedule the entire time WITHOUT the benefit of source material. Those guys had no fucking excuse. Like literally none. By the way what do you think of BH’s music? I don’t like it at all, personally. I think the tracks completely lack dynamics and every instrument sounds like it’s playing at the same volume. Not to mention it's just so fuckin loud. Not only that but the OST has around eighty tracks total but it feels like they keep using the same ten over and over. If I had to guess how many times they play the last 30 seconds of THIS TRACK (m.ruclips.net/video/H-W7xveVzUw/видео.html) over the course of the series my completely unironic estimation would be about fifty. Be sure to let us all know your overall thoughts when you finish it. Especially be on the lookout for whether or not Envy’s death scene is more tolerable. I have no doubt that it is.
Yeah the mangaka for fma is a champ. For the ost, I didn't find it to be memorable. My main issue with the ost is like you said the repetitiveness of it, but also the fact that so many tracks are incredibly one dimensional and bland. And yeah, I'm for sure gonna pay a lot of attention to envy in the manga and make an update video when I'm finished. Thanks for the comment.
i believe that even though the few songs ost are played out alot, they are still really good and most of the time fit the situation. And saying that their not memorable is a hot take because i assure you can play the song next to anyone who has watched the show and they'll know where its from
Same...I thought Brotherhood was too light, with less emotional depth, and the osts not as memorable as FMA03...I did enjoy the manga more than brotherhood tho
I’m having my brother watch the first few episodes of 03 and read some of the manga, first before FMAB for this EXACT reason. I watched all of 03 first blind knowing nothing other than what happened to Nina. I loved it so much and after I watched CoS, which I have mix feelings about and believe could be so much better, and after that I couldn’t wait to start FMAB. Now I actually love FMAB better than the 03, mostly bc of the ending and part 3-5 are great, and understand Ed’s character more bc I watched the 03 version first. I recently understood this when I was begging my friend to watch FMAB and she told me she was having trouble getting into it and really disliking the 3rd episode. I realized that Ed is more of a jerk in that one and had to explain to her that Ed isn’t always like that, he just immature. Also the the mechanical arm and mining episodes really do Ed justice, in showing a part Ed that is hard to find in FMAB. Now another thing they really messed up, that honestly made me mad after reading vol 15 of the manga was how they adapted the Ishvalan War. Out of a WHOLE vol they have a few flash backs and like an episode, and I hate that. If only the 03 waited or even FMAB wasn’t created until mid 2010s we would’ve had the perfect adaptation, but that’s only in some alternate universe somewhere.
Hope your brother can enjoy the series. Glad you liked this video too. I'm interested in the ishvalan war now, cause from the sounds of it, it's a pretty cool arc that didn't get time to shine in brotherhood. Thanks for watching.
@@etheri0n959 Vol 15 is my favorite piece of graphic literature that I’ve read so far. Can’t wait till you get there and would like to see a video on it as while, not many people talk about it as much as it needs to be. Though that’s your choice to make it or not, but highly I recommend that you do.
Well let’s get a 3rd series going where it’s basically brotherhoods story, more fleshed out, but with the character introduction and pacing of the 03 anime
Fma is a manga i feel needs another adaptation again like how newer anime like jjk are getting great adaptations that add more too the story in animation whise and loyalty to the sorce material New adaptation that can fix the problems of brotherhood and to make people stop holding on to 03
i am personaly fine with brotherhood existing despite my opinion being:there was no need for it and that's true because original story already existed in its printed form so if you wanna know the original story buy all of the volumes or read it online
The manga is definitey the best version of the story by far imo. I like brotherhood because the story is closer to the manga, and i liked the manga's story significantly more than 2003's. But it doesn't compare, really, in terms of pacing and characterization.
Wait, you have never read the manga? THE MANGA IS AWSOME. I like the manga more then the brotherhood anime, I prefer reading manga over watching the anime. But I like fma 2003 better then the manga. I wish that the 2003 story had a manga because I like reading manga mode then watch anime
Even as a manga and broho purist I can acknowledge peoples problems with broho’s progression and style. But to counter that point I’d rather live in the alternate reality where we got a faithful adaptation of fullmetal alchemist after the manga finished by the creator of 03 and not had this tribalist bullshit over a series that could’ve had the adaptational quality of say death note that just wasn’t met in either version.
the argument you made about how manga is better because they dont have voice acting and music was interesting, and I dont see how the studio couldve made the scenes in question better since you dont like sound as funny as that was put
Oh, I didn't mean that the lack of music and voice acting made it better. I meant that it made the scene more subtle, which in my opinion made the scene better. A huge part of why I disliked the Nina scene in brotherhood so much was because of the really loud track in the background. It didn't really let the moment sink in, as the 2003 version did.
Fma just veers way way way way too far off the source material for me to watch it after watching brotherhood. Love the manga and I wish the anime was a lot more fleshed out but you can only do so much when you’re only greenlit for less than 100 episodes
I know a lot of people might hate me for what I want to say but I never like the series I prefer series like death Note and code geass are tokyo ghoul but this is a awesome video I'm just telling you my opinion
Pfft Fma is basically just a ripoff of atla and Harry Potter except worse in every way possible. That being said, I do think brotherhood is on par with the manga after ep 15.
you really just strung some words together thinking you were saying anything. This comment means less than nothing, those stories are not comparable at all. Literally the only thing that can be compared is "show aimed at teens/young adults with a protagonist"

Also based on your tastes I would recommend checking out Psychopass and Parasyte
what is the point of commenting something like this on a video like this though. simply don't consume media you don't like
Pfft Fma is basically just a ripoff of atla and Harry Potter except worse in every way possible.
That being said, I do think brotherhood is on par with the manga after ep 15.
you really just strung some words together thinking you were saying anything. This comment means less than nothing, those stories are not comparable at all. Literally the only thing that can be compared is "show aimed at teens/young adults with a protagonist"
