Full Metal Alchemist

Full Metal Alchemist is an anime series and manga that Andrew has loved for a long time and I'm just discovering.When they were making it, the anime got ahead of the manga, so they ended it differently from the manga. Fans were apparently not pleased with the ending, so they remade the whole thing the match the manga (also to make more money I would imagine). So there are Full Metal Alchemist-Brotherhood and Full Metal Alchemist. The first one is better until the ending. Full Metal Alchemist-Brotherhood is harder to follow and tends to lapse into ridiculous silliness more.  As they follow the same story arch I think it's best to watch Full Metal Alchemist right up until near the end then watch the last few episodes from Full Metal Alchemist brotherhood so you get the good ending from the manga. Alternatively if you have a lot of movie watching time you could watch both series start to finish starting with Full Metal Alchemist and then starting again with Full Metal Alchemist-Brotherhood which will make more sense now that you already know what's going on.
