Rewatched both of the Fullmetal Alchemist anime and I've got so many emotions. So many of them.
#fma#fmab#hot take: the emotions were more raw and hit harder in the 03 version#and the ost in 03 is leagues better#the brotherhood openings are far superior though no contest#brotherhood op 4 goes HARD#and of course op 1 is always iconic#i think that the conclusion of brotherhood was more satisfying#but the 03 ending wasnt bad#i quite enjoy cos and think it ties up everything pretty nicely#even if it isnt perhaps the ending we hoped the boys would get#i also think that 03 had a much stronger opening. the first several episodes set up the plot and introduced the characters far better imo#the pacing in 03 was slower which allowed more time for emotional moments and attention to character details#while brotherhood was pretty fast paced and squeezed a whole lot into the episodes#to the point that i wished certain aspects had been more fleshed out#like greedling for example. we barely got any time with them#and also what al was doing during the time ed was with team greed#03 didnt leave me wishing for more details on any of the characters#tldr im an 03 defender <3#but i feel like overall from a purely objective standpoint brotherhood is better#i love them both very much and my brain isnt gonna be normal about fma for probably several weeks now
