hey @WomanCorn is there a "plain" fullmetal alchemist i should watch before fullmetal achemist brotherhood? i, uh, don't quite get it. or is it just not worth it and things clear up after a while?
@delca so, there is a plain _Fullmetal Alchemist_, often called 2003 (IIRC). It's not in continuity with _Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood_ though.
Basically, the original manga wasn't finished when they did the 2003 adaptation, so they made up their own ending. Both Brotherhood and 2003 start the same, but then go different directions, including revealing different back stories and metaphysics.
@WomanCorn I see, thank you! It's decent, it was just a bit odd, and I didn't want to end up watching a bunch of episodes and then having to watch the prequels that put everything in a different perspective.
