Brotherhood follows the manga, while FMA stops after encountering Greed. They are both similar up until a certain point.

But overall? Brotherhood is the superior series.

But overall? Brotherhood is the superior series.

To elaborate, the 2003 FMA actually managed to overtake the manga; as a result, they had to produce original content (with the creator's blessing) to continue the story.

Brotherhood is basically the entire series (as evidenced by the 64 episodes), even if you were to watch both of them, it would almost seem like they're the same thing.

I'd go with brotherhood because the story's better. A lot more makes sense, etc.

You should also add Claymore to the list of shows to watch. It's another fantasy type-shonen, but a fantastic show.

Thanks! I will start with Brotherhood! If I can find them subbed. Hate watching Anime in english apart from Dragonball Z!

And I added Claymore Mick!

Nonononononono.

You have to watch the dub.

Generally, I agree with you, the dubs are usually shit. But FMA (and Cowboy Bebop + Samurai Champloo) is AMAZING dubbed. I refuse to watch it any other way.

Thanks! Also, the first time I heard Naruto speak English my heart stopped so terrible!

Also when I was in Japan I saw things about a Basketball Anime.....

[Ruki]

Agreed, Naruto has a pretty horrid voice. But FMA? Ed and Al? Mustang and Hawkeye? Armstrong? All amazing. Some of the best voicing ever.

Also.....This basketball anime?

[Monkey D. Lars]

Yeah! That one!

Ill check FMA out in english

Just started Assassination Classroom.

The main character has stupid hair. But the anime itself might not suck.

I heard some stuff about Code Geass and it's sounds awesome. Anyone here seen it?

[MalaCloudy Black]

I think pretty much all of us have. It's good. It goes a little off the rails near the end of the first season, and likewise there's some pretty "WTF?" moments in the second season, but it's still good.

What would the stance on trying to sell a couple of anime blu-rays/dvds around here? I'm trying to get rid of some DVDs (either because it was a blind buy and didn't particularly care for them, or because I ended up upgrading to blu-ray) and some blu-rays (again, blind buy or, in one case, there will be a "ultimate edition" release that compiles 3 series and I wish to purchase that - I have the series divided in DVDs and blu-rays).

Watch it. One of my favorites.

[Mick]

Let's put it this way Lars.

Code Geass is required viewing.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is Lars approved!

[Mick]

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is Lars approved!

You don't say.

Huh, I thought the Fullmetal Alchemist was the guy in the suit, not that little shrimp you have in your avatar.

[Monkey D. Lars]

Alphonse is more awesome yes but did I not pay any attention? I thought Edward was the Fullmetal alchemist!

So in the new Dragonball series Goku will have a job. He'll be a farmer. He really just keeps inching closer to being Japanese Superman.

[Benji]

I like it, if he's not fighting he has to do something, and he's always been a pretty simple down-home guy.

Just finished watching Assassination Classroom

Kinda wish the series would have ended there...what's wrong with a series just having one season? But, won't be too heart broken because...

Overall? A pretty solid series. Good story, comical, and not too much fan service. I would give this a 7.5 or 8/10.

Thinking Death Parade will be next to watch, after the second season of Silicon Valley.

[Mick]

You haven't watched Death Parade yet?
