I just saw a video about good Netflix anime. Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood was one of them. But there's only Fullmetal Alchemist on Netflix. Now I ask myself whether I have to watch Fullmetal Alchemist before Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, because some friends of mine said that I should watch Brotherhood and not the normal one. I'm confused, please help.
What you watch (first) doesn't matter.
»https://www.anisearch.de/anime/2519,hagane-no-renkinjutsushi« was created before the original work, the manga on which the series is based, was completed. Accordingly, at a certain point you have come up with your own plot that deviates from the manga.
»https://www.anisearch.de/anime/5048,hagane-no-renkinjutsushi-2009« is then a new edition of the series, which sticks to the plot of the manga.
Brotherhood is closer to manga from a certain episode onwards, so it completely adapts the manga
I think Brotherhood is a slightly shorter / more condensed version. And newer. In terms of content, both are (I think) the same. Although I still remember that I liked the normal full metal alchemist better…
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood is a remake that, unlike its predecessor, sticks more to the manga.
Brotherhood is just a remake of what the manga is about.
No they are not fmab is MUCH better!
