2003 ending > manga/ brotherhood
No. Last 20 epsiodes of 03 are dogshit. It's time to move on.
>>287543780Based. But at the end of the day, they're both shounenshit which is 4/10 at the very best.
>>287543780No, the good one is always the one where he has a kid.
>>287543780Take your meds funnyschizo.
>>287543780Ok.
>>287543780never watched it
Cheap bait
>>287543780true
>>287543780Everything about 2003 is just SO much better, every single thing>b-but muh HitlerThis is the most vexing complain ever because before I became a shutin everyone loved that plot point, I only ever heard anyone hating on it after I started posting in /a/.
>>287543780>muh nazisLol
>>287543780It’s very telling how you use the TV cliffhanger over the true movie ending lol
>>287543780Not about how it ends, it's the journey, and I don't get the love for brotherhood over 03. It's just the plot of the first Jovavich resident evil movie but with magic.>Oh but Bradley wasn't done dirty and had a cool fight>Oh by Father is a cooler final boss than Dante because he becomes god for a few minutes.That doesn't sell it, like at all, sorry.
>>287547604>Oh by Father is a cooler final boss than Dante because he becomes god for a few minutes.Father is better because he wasn't off-screened like Dante was.
>>287547604Dante was a lamer villian than robo archer(another 03 epic fail)
>>28754378003' not going for the cliche happy ending is why I like it. It's pretty grim.
>>287547631Yeah I do not care for father. Like I guess you could call the concept neat, that he was basically a fragment of god in Hohenheim's blood that had divine knowledge, unknowingly seeking to return to god through fragmentation and a quest to devour him.However the concept ultimately is what makes him fall flat, or rather not fit very well with the story at large. It's like taking the sun and giving it a human body and then with its new found intelligence and agency, it concludes it just wants to burn. Wow, so deep, the inhuman thing couldn't break out of it's thingly nature because the human part was slapped on, so it was never really human to begin with!They did this with that Zima Blue love death and robots Netflix slop and it worked better because it was a short story. I'm not about to clap for Father for his one dimensional loop for the same reason all BH Homonculi sucked. >Envy.. is.. ENVIOUS!I'm not clapping for inhuman fragments being motivated by their bisected human nature. Dante might have been rough, but her motivation was human and every single homonculus except Bradley was a better character than in BH and that's all I care about.
>>287547888>but her motivation was humanHer motivation is generic and she was a boring character who couldn't even have a climatic ending. Father is not the best villain ever, but Dante is as generic as they come and only lauded by 03fags because she's from the 03 anime.
>>287548297>Show about Alchemy, including the concept of the Philosopher Stone, which was said to be able to extend human life as well as turn shit metals to gold.>A woman who discovered the secret to immortality is somehow, too boring.
>>287548448Yeah, the show failed to make her a fun character despite that. The only good thing about her is the few hentai she has in the body of her apprentice.
Having watched neither, I think 03 has better presentation, which is probably why people cling to it.
>>287548448>A woman who discovered the secret to immortality is somehow, too boring.Oh you mean the same thing Edward and Alphonse did by reading a book like 1/3 into the story of Brotherhood.Yeah no one cares about Dante.
>>287543979tpbp. I don't understand how anyone who isn't a teenager can stand to watch this shit anymore
>>287548595Kys
>>287548497The one people like is Brotherhood, there are two FMA shows but only one is top-rated.
>>287548536Thank you for pointing out the other reason why Brotherhood was stupid. Sorry, reducing the concept to just "it was human souls, the government just lied and told you it was legendary as a psyop:^)" effortlessly was so incredibly lame especially after 03 made it so complex and parallel to how actual IRL alchemy went down. (I.E some old men heating up rocks, maybe jacking off on them or bleeding on them).The Philosopher stone should have been a difficult to create, not just easy bake onions green.
>>287548652It's the Skyrim of anime, it's popular because people only watch it on principle, not based on an actual comparison of content. Not a single BH fan I've ever met has watched 03 and it's simply because "Mangaka didn't writer the second half".
>>287548756The only thing I liked more about 03 is Alphonse's VA
>>287548652Top rated?
>>2875439792003 FMA is seinen
>>287548943This, everyone hates it because it focused on the good stuff. The dark tones, the horrors of human endeavor.BH fans just clapped dramatically because a little chibi critter turned into a final fantasy boss and launched dbz blasts.
>>287543780Good to see you funnyschizo. How are you?
didnt they die in the 2003 ending
>>287548943Correction, it's a soft seinen since it doesnt fully give up all the shouen tropes of the original
>>287549174True
>>287548943So kinda like Monster?
>>287548943No>>287549174>>287549252Kys
>>287543780no one actually thinks this. also being a contrarian shows that you are actually less of an independent thinker and care more about everyone else's opinion than the average person.
>>287549719No one is deliberately being contrarian, people respect the difference of tone. The conflict arises because /a/ has a shonen bias when it comes to non-slice of life anime and continues to demand their 100th repeat of the Gurren Lagann Anti-spiral fight over and over again ad nauseam.
>>287543780both normalfag trash
>>287550025Fuck off
>>287546111He's right and you know it.
All versions of FMA are just ok
>>287547604For me, I didn't really like any of the Brotherhood exclusive characters. Especially the annoying little Chinese girl.
>>287548497people cling to it because it's the edgier one that they watched in their formative years. Simple as
>>287548448This exactly why Dante sucks, because she didn’t actually do anything if you pay attention, that was all Hohenheim’s work that she desperately tries to replicate to no avail. It’s hilarious to note how Scar had to finish it despite her 400 years of trying and relying on the stone Hohenheim left her.>>287548713The method isn’t all that different, they just made Dante incapable of making one on her own without Hohenheim by making having her make duds. Father taught a selective few about it, 03 Hohenheim didn’t and then 03 Scar in less than a year did it anyway.
