Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhoodįullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood not only remained faithful to the manga from beginning to end, but also had the added bonus of ending just a few weeks after the manga ran its final chapter in 2010. The original anime and movie were popular, but as the end of the manga series drew closer there was a desire to see the manga more faithfully adapted. While most series would consider this "filler content," it never dragged or felt unrelated to the overall task at hand for Ed and Al.Ī sequel full-length movie followed the original series (a separate live-action adaptation film was also released after Brotherhood), serving to wrap up a few unanswered questions. For this reason, the original series has arcs that diverge from the main plot and include characters that never appeared in the manga series. However, as the manga was still unfinished at the time, Arakawa gave the anime full permission to move ahead with an original storyline to conclude the series. In 2003 the original Fullmetal Alchemist anime series debuted and only continued to capture the hearts of fans. RELATED: Nintendo Switch Funimation App Gets Release Dateīut why are there two series for essentially the same story? Which is more faithful to the original manga? According to an article on Looper, Fullmetal Alchemist’s overwhelming popularity is a part of the series having been released in such a manner, and the story behind how it happened is a saga in itself. While the overall plots are quite similar and they share many of the same characters, the two stories begin to diverge around the halfway point. No, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is not a sequel to the original Fullmetal Alchemist. While anime can have strange titles (by American standards at least), it’s important to start talking about Fullmetal Alchemist by clearing up some of this misunderstanding. Add in the fact that there are two anime series that start with the same basic concept but branch into completely different paths and it’s understandable to be confused. Would it be wise to start talking about alchemy, or the fact that the main characters Ed and Al lost parts of their body trying to bring their mom back to life? It’s hard to say, especially if someone has never heard of alchemy or the real life events in Europe the pursuit of the philosopher’s stone is based on. There’s not really a clear place to start when telling someone about the series. Fullmetal Alchemist as a series is kind of a tough sell to the uninitiated.
