This was followed by a sequel movie named ‘Fullmetal Alchemist: The Conqueror of Shamballa’ that was released on July 23, 2005. ‘Fullmetal Alchemist’ season 1 was released on Octoand went on till October 2, 2004, featuring a total of 51 episodes. Anime lover or not, ‘Fullmetal Alchemist’ is one series that no one should miss out on.įullmetal Alchemist Season 2 Release Date: When Will it Premiere?
So to put it simply, I feel that both the adaptations should be seen as one instead of being compared with each other because both they shine in their own unique ways. Even when it comes to the ending of both the series, I enjoyed the bittersweet ending of the original as much as the ending of ‘Brotherhood’, where everything seems to work out well. So I feel it’s wrong to fall only on one side of it because we don’t usually get to see two brilliant adaptations of the same story. While I enjoyed one for its directness towards the manga, I enjoyed the other one for its underlying dark theme. That’s because once you’re done watching ‘Brotherhood’, you will never really be able to enjoy the original.įor me personally, it has always been really difficult to differentiate between the original and ‘Brotherhood’ because of the vast differences in their plots, character development and also the themes being portrayed. But even then, I would still recommend that anyone who wishes to start this anime now, should first watch the 2003 adaptation and then go for ‘Brotherhood’.
Now whether or not ‘Brotherhood’ is better is quite objective because for obvious reasons, ‘Brotherhood’ has much better animation than the first one that came out six years before it. While most believe that the 2009 adaptation is much better than the first original one because it is more aligned with Arakawa Hiromu’s vision, there is a fair bit of population that still supports the original. This dual adaptation often sparks debates between those who feel that the original was much better and the ones who prefer the story of the manga over everything else.
