Can You Watch Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood First

The first fma and fma b share a similar beginning story.

Can you watch fullmetal alchemist brotherhood first. There are two different series revolving around the same. Watch full metal alchemist all the way through then the movie. You do not need to watch the first fma to watch fma b but i think the first fma expands more on some earlier plots and stories.

If you watch brotherhood first trust me you won t even consider going back to watch the original. Do not skip the first 10 episodes of fma brotherhood either because there are some very slight changes that were made within those 10 episodes. If you only want to hear the original story you should watch the first 25 episode of fullmetal alchemist first then start the entire fullmetal alchemist brotherhood series.

Slight spoiler ahead brotherhood also has an ending that doesn t deal with parallel universes. And yes you should skip the first series brotherhood is way better. The 2003 version deviates from the manga part way through while the 2009 version sticks to the manga all the way to the end.

Brotherhood it s a remake it s more faithful to the manga fullmetal alchemist tells the story in a different way you can watch only fmabh if you want level 1 3 points 42 minutes ago. Fullmetal alchemist does a great job of balancing action and comedy while maintaining a meaningful storyline the story sheds light on themes like crime and war it also presents various science vs religion based plot elements. 2003 goes off on a tangent and brotherhood follows the manga.

Minor changes and character changes in each series beginning but pretty similar. With well thought out characters and a splendid story fullmetal alchemist is definitely worth a watch. Like i think the nina part is more expanded in the first fma than fma b not 100 sure but that s what i remember at least.

But the same can t be said for the other way around. As you may know there are essentially two versions of the fullmetal alchemist anime the 2003 version called simply fullmetal alchemist and the 2009 version called fullmetal alchemist.
