Full Metal Alchemist

There are 2 anime series FMA and FMA Brotherhood. The first one has its own original ending whereas the second one follows the manga faithfully. I think that you should watch both since both are really good. This is one of the better shonen series and it's certainly a must watch for all shonen fans! This series is both exciting and enjoyable to watch. On top of that, it also has some really touching moments.

I watched this anime and it is pretty good. It is an exciting an anime and you won't notice the time while watching this. I like the second version which is more detailed. I initially thought that it is the second season but it is not. It is just the detailed version of the anime.

FMA:Brotherhood is a lot better than the original anime. I can't say enough good things about it honestly because I continually watch it over and over again even though I know the story by heart. There are not too many anime shows I do that with. Definitely watch it and as others have said, If you feel you gotta watch both series watch the original first because then you will be pleased even more with Brotherhood.

It's a pretty good series. There is Full Metal Alchemist and Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood. I've watched both already. Brotherhood is more detailed than Full Metal Alchemist but both are good anime. If you're into alchemy, fantasy and science stuff, you'll fall in love with this. My favorite character there is Roy Mustang and my most hated is Shou Tucker because of something awful he did that really annoys me until now because it's like etched in stone.I'm definitely recommending you watch it.

I seriously recommend watching Brotherhood AFTER FMA since the parts that are represented in both are better explain on the first one!!!I myself enjoyed Brotherhood better because it follows the manga till the end!!!It isn't a coicidence that it is the top rated anime(source:animestats)
