Maybe don't get into an argument about the endings of two different shows in a topic where the TC has explicitly only started one of them.

Oh shit whoops

Just know that pride > the other idiots

Depends on the version. In '03, Wrath is easily the standout.

They're the same person <_<

Huh? That isn't right.

Again, how is Brotherhood's ending any better?

How was Brotherhood's bad? It was perfect, aside from being iffy on the fight between Ed and spoiler guy.

DezDroppedFreak isn't trying to say that Brotherhood's ending is bad; merely that it's not better than 2003's

I called 03's ending laughable. Saying Brotherhood's ending is the same quality as 03's is saying it's bad. I don't find Brotherhood's ending bad at all, nor have I even seen it referred to as such in other discussion topics.

Quality is quality

Then we need to talk about those final ten episodes and the movie...

And Brotherhood's is better because it follows the manga? lol ok. Its final arc is pure trash that loses all sense of what it is

No it's just better written, better paced, and put together more coherently than everything that happens in '03 post Lior. And much of the setup for the closing chapter in Brotherhood is sprinkled throughout the earlier chapters, so when you discover the nation-wide transmutation circle that Pride has been guarding you know all that stuff is tied up in something huge that's about to go down and that some fundamental truth of alchemy is at the center of it. Those final ten episodes for FMA '03 really had rush to wrap up the plot and it becomes clear the production team didn't really know what to do with themselves. I've mentioned I'm a fan of both, but the planning allowed the 09 adaptation makes a world of difference.

neither did I.

I enjoyed both immensely.

I do take issue with this though:

The 03 homunculi are freaking jokes


the origin is much more interesting

the tone of Brotherhood also interfered with the storytelling. it felt less mature, like a typical shonen story.

The final arc is beyond disappointing to say the least and I'd say that's a pretty common opinion.

I'm not going to go into specifics because of the topic we're in, and I'm not saying 03's is great by any means because it most certainly has its own issues.

Because it is. And that's good because it sticks to its strengths.

As opposed to 03 that suddenly tries to be more in the final stretch and falls flat on its face doing it.

What the f***? Brotherhood is the actual story written by the author. Super (The manga) is actually written with the supervision of Toriyama. Brotherhood and Super are better than their s***ty fanfiction counterparts FMA03 and GT.

I thought the Super anime was written by some fan fic dude but supervised by Toriyama

it's not just the final stretch. the tone is better throughout. the gags in Brotherhood are intrusive.

and the ending of 2003 is fine, I don't know why people are complaining about that of all things

I actually think '03 straddled that line pretty deftly through most of it's run. Much of what it does well was inspired by the manga, but it's got a lot of good original stuff too.
