I'm generally a completionist who hates skipping things, always goes in release order, etc. I had seen people to say just skip ahead to Brotherhood, but I said fuck that, release order.
But I just learned that Brotherhood is meant to be the "true" version of the story? Like the original started during the manga run and the story cut away when it caught up to the manga. And Brotherhood is a remake that follows the manga to the end. Is this accurate? I guess I'm enjoying the show alright so far. I just watched the ep with the chimera, pretty fucked up. Does the quality hold up? Any other anime you guys recommend for someone who hasn't watched much? --- I am the Cheese! I am the best character on the show!

I wouldn't go so far to call 03 fanfiction but Brotherhood is overall the superior anime.
However I actually do recommend you read the manga first since there's quite a bit that the first part skips over like Yuswell(?). --- Who knew bananas could be so lethal? Proud member of The Church of The Man-Emperor of Mankind. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I liked the original a lot more. The humunculous were a lot cooler. Plus I liked the ending more, it felt more real, especially after watching the movie too. They're both great though so watch them both

If you really want release order:
1. Read the manga up chapter 28. 2. Watch the 2003 anime and movie 3. Finish reading the manga. 4. Watch Brotherhood. --- "Evil is what you make of it. Bind it to a higher purpose, and you will have altered its nature." - Gerald Tarrant ... Copied to Clipboard!

I'm probably one of the few that liked the original better, but yea its not canon. Brotherhood was good but it just felt like a typical anime (won't go over details but basically the plot was much more predictable).

Brotherhood is better, but it builds off the original series by skipping/glossing a lot of introductory stuff as they figured that everybody watching had seen the original already that more thoroughly delved into that stuff.
I'd recommend still watching the original and accept that after a short while it basically becomes filler, and even decently well-done, too. --- Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Given the comments ITT, I'll continue on with the 2003 series and then watch Brotherhood afterwards. I'll at least watch the first half of the 2003 series, and if I start to get tired of it I'll skip to Brotherhood.

The original is still pretty good, but when you watch Brotherhood it becomes obvious that the original anime crew was flying by the seat of their pants after a certain point. Brotherhood has a much more satisfying and complete conclusion than the original does.

IMO, the '03 series is better than Brotherhood until the last 9 to 10 episodes, iirc, where it mostly turns to shit.
but the stuff with the Homonculi is a lot more interesting in the '03 series than it is in Brotherhood, even though Brotherhood Wrath is GOAT. --- b-bb-box ... Copied to Clipboard!

And Brotherhood is a remake that follows the manga to the end. Yes. Where they choose to deviate in the original version is legitimately far worse.

I think they're both pretty good and you don't really 'lose' anything by watching one before the other.

Yeah, definitely watch both. They're both good, but the internet has to go to extremes, so Brotherhood being better meant that the first one was now "terrible."

03 is overall the better story. the tone is more consistent (brotherhood has way more of those corny shounen jokes) and the concept for the homunculi is way more interesting.
that being said, Brotherhood is still good --- peanut butter and dick ... Copied to Clipboard!

I actually wouldn't skip it.
Brotherhood zips through the material the original already covered too quickly and I think the original has significantly better music and atmosphere. And the Homunculi have better backstories, too. I'd argue you'd have something to lose from skipping the original as the impact of the events of the first half can be lessened by Brotherhood's abridged approach. --- We were thinking of naming the baby Ellipsis, but it seemed so...typographical. ...
