I've watched the first few episodes of FMA and FMA:B and I'm curious as to which you guys think I should continue with. I know the differences between them, but which one is more worth my time

Read the manga.
If you're too lazy to read the manga, then watch Brotherhood, since it's an actual adaptation of the manga.
For Shonen Action and More Fighting = Brotherhood
For Drama, Music, Characterization, and Thematic Depth = 2003

2003's better than both.
>>151437007
2003 is fanfiction tier
I liked Brotherhood more desu. But that's just me desu. To be honest.

Yeah, sure, because it diverged from the inferior manga. That's why it ended up being better than the manga.
There's no other shonen fanbase who uses "it's faithful to the manga" like Brotherhoodfags do, as if that's supposed to make me want to watch an anime I'm unfamiliar with.
Watch both. Not like you're doing anything better.

> better than the manga
FUCKING HITLER THO
>>151438711
Appeared from one frame in a movie that came after the anime. Not that
>this movie had hitler
>this movie had nazis
Is a valid criticism of anything.

2003 overall had the better visuals, animation, music, direction, and overall plot. /Brotherhood was just faithful to the manga and was far more cheesy in its execution and direction.
The movies are up to you whether to watch or not both both are rather medicore.
>People that say 2003 was better plotwise.
Wrath from 2003 shits up so much stuff it's unbelievable.
>Hurr, he has Ed's limb because reasons
>Durr, he can use alchemy because of them
And can someone remind me why scar turned Al into a philosopher's stone? That never made any sense to me.

DUDE RAPE BABY LMAO
DUDE LONG LOST THIRD ELRIC BROTHER IS ENVY LMAO
FMA is a shit series. FMA:B is a bad adaptation. Choose your poison. Or just take the sensible option and read the manga.

>this anime has a rape baby
>the main character has a long lost sibling
>that sibling is a bad guy
Are all shit criticisms that would tell me nothing about why an anime is bad.
>the villains are 1-dimensional
>the music is shit
>and the plot is predictable
Are reasons to avoid a show before I even start, and Brotherhood's guilty of all of them.
