I still enjoy this version

I know most fans tend to compare this series unfavorably to "Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood", but personally I think this version of the story did many things right (and in some aspects, I think it handled a couple of parts of the story in a better way than the original) doing a pretty good balance of drama, suspense and comedy, with plenty of beautiful moments, even if the plot wasn't a 100 % faithful adaptation of the original manga.

And honestly, I prefer that it tried to be its own things instead of stretching the plot indefinitely with lots of pointless filler (like in Naruto) and its conclusion, while quite different to the one from the manga, is still managed to be something quite satisfying.

Both versions of Full Metal Alchemist are good, and personally consider both of them to be worth-watching.

score 8/10
