It's even reminding me of Monster or something, all those people in different places plotting stuff or hiding or arriving at the truth from different directions, and the way all the threads come together. I guess there just aren't that many mangas out there that are this well planned. That's a great idea editing together the ultimate version of the story :) I was considering buying the dvds for the first half of the first series and the last 3/4 of this one but that would be even better..

Just something that captured the manga's glory. (I know, i'm such an FMA nut.) Still glad to hear your'e enjoying it, and if they keep at it with sticking to the manga, I can guarantee it will keep getting better. ^^ I hate to say but having FMA pulling a Haruhi and recycling old eps from the first series would not work at all. Well, maybe if they where to cut out parts here and there, but whole eps? No. Ive thought about that myselef but it just won't work, there too many differences between the two versions, and even the episodes based off of manga material have anime-invented material in it (or the way they arranged the manga based material) just wouldn't flow right. In other words: it would be another Munto TV. Call me insane, but i've actually had the crazy idea to take parts from the manga turned anime from BOTH FMA series and edit it into one version, resulting in a complete adaption on the manga. I have the materials, I have the right programs, the know-how, and I love the series enough to pull such a feat. Question remains is: is it worth the time and will people actual bother to watch it? Hmmmmm......

Since then (I've seen up to episode 19 to date), Brotherhood has definitely gotten better and more interesting; but I must say I still prefer the original anime series. I confess that I've never read the manga (and now I feel like I can't, since I don't want to spoil my experience of watching Brotherhood from episode to episode). I think - just speaking for myself - that the first anime series is always going to feel like the "real" Fullmetal Alchemist story to me. It was that special - and that great. Thanks for linking to my blog post. :)

However, the first Full Metal Alchemist had a completely different atmosphere surrounding it where in many ways they seemed to be buying time with fillers and drawn out episodes. Now, I must give credit to the first director who masterfully extended the important manga scenes and really added to the character or said moments. That said, I think the focus for any review of Brotherhood should be on the latter sections where we can see the new director attempt to flesh out the rest of this riveting series. Can't wait to see your full review once it all ends :D While it is true that I, as a manga reader, was glad that they rushed through previously tread territory to the manga-only material, I completely understand your gripes about the first section.
