Unironically yes

2003 was better

2003 deserves it more

Yep. Great cast, great animation, good balance of serious plot and comedic relief, great dub.

>>159861341
That scene felt really dumb, to be honest.

Yes. I know /a/ loves shitting on it and saying that the edgefest that was the 2003 version was better but the manga and Brotherhood is my top shonen series.

If FMA:B isn't in your top 5 of anime you have objectively shit taste.

It's meh.

>>159861169
Yes. Not accounting for personal preferences and taste and trying to analyze objectively, it's probably the greatest anime of all time. It's as close to a perfect series as you can get.

it is pretty good

it's not as deep and philosophical as Hunter x Hunter (2011)

I think we all agree it is pretty good

Any implication that Brotherhood is the best the medium has to offer is pitiful. Luckily it's not. If I actually wanted to impress someone with kino I'd show them Grave of the Fireflies or Kenshin Trust and Betrayal. Or FMA 2003.

>>159861169
8.5/10

really good anime, but still far from a masterppiece

>>159862576

whats your masterpiece

This about sums up my thoughts. There's nothing really wrong with it but it's highs aren't amazing either. except for Bradley vs. Scar

Brotherhood threw consequences out the window. It was fun but that ending fucking ruined it

>>159862636
>Or FMA 2003.
I agreed with you up until this point.

>>159861169
Rewatched it recently and I can say absolutely no. It's just standard shonen shit that only gets a pass due to nostalgia. Father is the blandest sack of shit and dragged the whole show down. Apparently it needed a generic big bad evil guy who wants to reshape the world because he thinks he's in a jrpg.

>>159863916
yes, except Ed lost a leg and the ability to use alchemy, as well as years of youth, Al was permanently crippled from multiyear atrophy, both lost their parents.

But no consequences right?

>Kenshin Trust and Betrayal
Which was so overdramatic that even the author of Kenshin hated it. Thank God it's noncanon trash and the actual ending to Kenshin is satisfying.

>>159861169
Pretty much. Characters that acted with brain, had reasonable motivations for their actions, some died (and stayed dead), some suffered, some overcame, emotional moments that hit and hit hard, didn't overstay it's welcome, etc....

Yes, yes the fuck it does deserve its praise.

Its really boring. I actually forgot i watched it. Literally forgettable.

>>159864962

>>159861169
Who cares? It's better than almost anything else that has massive mainstream success.

>>159861169
The 2003 one was better.

Both versions of FMA are literally the only kino shounen.

>>159865198
Seisouhen is the one he hated. Tsuiokuhen is the good one retard

>>159867610
What about Yu Yu Hakusho?

>>159862194
Mustang is definitely one of the faggiest characters

>>159865198
>>159867677
Watsuki didn't hate any of the two OVAs, he just basically said that Kenshin went through a lot of crap and deserved a happy ending, and Seisouhen's ending is pretty much the opposite of what he had in mind. He never claimed to hate Seisouhen, I don't know why people started to say that.

6/10. Combine the good parts of 03 and brotherhood and it becomes a 8/10.

>>159861169
Both the 2003 series and Brotherhood are great but I personally prefer Brotherhood

>>159864594
Al was only temporarily crippled due to years of muscle atropy. They tated he would recover after lengthy physical therapy, hence the crutches.

>>159861169
it's a pretty well-rounded series, I think. There's the edgy 2003 series and then the manga/brotherhood for an actual satisfying conclusion

>>159869107
>the edgy 2003 series

It's funny how easy it is to spot people who didn't watch FMA 2003 and are just parroting what they've read somewhere else.
