The original Fullmetal Alchemist is much better than Brotherhood.First of all, if you only watched Brotherhood, you completely missed the setup, because Brotherhood speedruns the early episodes on the assumption that you have watched the 2003 version. Second, it is a much darker, cerebral, and emotional story. It's not filled with fights and comedy and friendship speeches the way Brotherhood is. 2003 avoids the standard battle shonen cliches in favor of telling a more dramatic and philosophical tale using the exact same setting and characters.It's like Fullmetal Alchemist for grownups.
Just read the source material, jesus christ

>>284694208I'm 36, and I watched the original FMA come out as a teenager. It remains one of the deepest, most beautiful stories I have ever seen. I really hated watching Brotherhood take over the Fullmetal Alchemist discourse.
>>284696325Ok unc, shouldn't you be looking into retirement homes?
>>284698110Why are you acting like we aren't all unc here
>>284694158The source material ends just like Brotherhood. 03fags are just mad they like noncanon fanfic so they bitch and shit their diapers in every single FMA thread and make discussion impossible.
