2003 is shit lol

there already was a rpg based off the 2003 Full Metal Alchemist series

>Would you play an RPG based on the 2003 FMA series?
There's one already

I'm watching Brotherhood right now.

Why is Izumi so perfect?

IS THIS IN ENGLISH?!!!

no. There's not even a fan-translation

I picked 2003 because it's the superior series. It feels like an actual living world, unlike Brohood. You couldn't fight Greed or Pride if his was based on the manga. Or Wrath because he's too OP'd. In addition to that, the Homunculi aren't the only freaks of nature in there. You have immortal scientists, robots, genies in bottles, and other stupid shit.

2003 anime is where it's at.

>Good anime
>Getting a good game

Not even once

2003 is a lot like the Star Wars prequels, in that you have a lot of people defending it either because they grew up with the series and the nostalgia is blinding them, or their contrarian nature means they need to latch on to the less popular work. Add in the more cynical and psuedointellectual nature of the series, and it's popular with fedora tippers

>good anime

...

Stop, it's shit

It's the other way around. 2003 is like A New Hope/Empire Strikes Back!

Then you have Brohood which introduces slapstick humor and other immersion-breaking sequences. Jar Jar Binks is the the little girl with the panda bear who is hot for Ed.

People defend Brohood because it's the author's original work. That is basically the only defense they have for it. I don't know what Prequel fans are like, but I imagine their claim to veritability is much the same for it being canon.

Hell, the author is a huge Star Wars fanatic. You couldn't have picked a worse comparison.

>your opinion

Oh look, a Brohood fan clasping their hand to their ear and screaming BAIT! while responding with a webm/gif of a loli. Why am I not surprised?

Hint: It's because that's all they ever reply with.

It's pretty entertaining so far.

Kinda disappointing that alchemists just kick and punch each other instead of actually doing cool shit.

Brotherhood > 2003

They're both good but only a contrarian shithead nerdlord would prefer 2003. The rules of its universe don't even make sense. What happens if more than 7 people break the taboo? What, do they just add an extra sin? And Ed can turn his automail into a fucking machine gun? Yeah that doesn't totally break the rules of alchemy at all. And that fucking ending? Complete dogshit. Concoquerer of Shamballa is the worst thing I have ever seen. What an absolute nonsense ending.

>Ed can turn his automail into a machine gun
Sounds dumb, but cool.

Only Dante can make an undead monster into a Homunculus with stones. Except for Wrath because he still had living limbs.

The fact those are your only complaints and your language betrays how shallow you are.

Sell me on why the 2003 anime is better. I saw it first, loved it, and was very adamant about watching Brotherhood because I didn't want to watch scenes I'd already seen. I saw Brotherhood years later and while I think it's great, I also had a really good experience watching the 2003 anime too.

Everyone argues in favour of Brotherhood, but I genuinely enjoyed the characters and especially Hohenheim more in the 2003 adaptation.

Ignore him. What happens is that they get cornered in a government warehouse (because that's where Tucker is), where a bunch of crates with ammunition are. So Wrath and him get the idea to turn their arms into guns.

Jesuotaku shitposts on Sup Forums?

>adaptation

2003 isn't an adaptation.

It's made up.

That basically sums up the entire 2003 series.

I also think honk Dante is a weak villain, that they ruined Scars potential- and while I LOVE the twist with the gate, the way they handled literally everything in CoS ruins it for me. I particularly loath how they needlessly sacrifice themselves when Al could've just sent an armor through with his mind power. I have more complaints but I'm not going to get into a debate on fucking Sup Forums because at the end of the day:

A) I still adore both series.
And B) neither of us is going to change the others mind.

In Brotherhood, the fight scenes felt very gratuitious.

Father wasn't a good villain. Dante was more "human", and relatable.

The Chinese characters bloated the cast.

Characters like Shou Tucker not getting exploded was an improvement, since the fate he got was far crueler than death.

Homunculi weren't punching bags, you needed to kill them intelligently. Find their remains, and so forth.

Brotherhood has a kitschy happy ending, while 2003 had bittersweetness that actually felt tonally appropriate.

There. That's a more civil response. Wasn't hard was it?

Your problem is that you see Conqueror as a necessary closure, when it was obviously a result of the gigantic success of the series prompting a movie. The anime is standalone.

Dante was a good villain. I like that there's a counterpart for Hoenheim's successful longevity that's still a thorn in his side. I can't say the same about the genie, because it never explains why he knows everything about alchemy and teaches Hoenheim. Scar has a deeper backstory in 2003, and I hate the last minute cop-out with his other arm. I can't possibly reread the story and take it seriously without assuming he has some kind of bipolar disorder. That was the worst plot-twist I've ever seen in fiction.

I'm gonna have to somewhat agree, fma felt way more credible with its world building. The characters and setting did feel a whole lot more realistic than brotherhood. Sure no matter how much nostalgia you'll have over the original the latter half of the series will always feel somewhat halfassed. The ending however I really enjoyed, it didn't fall for the retardedly happy disney endings most animes tend to have, and went for a more bittersweet experience. Overall the original felt more realistic morality wise and while it's pretty much an entry level anime it at least adds a minor amount of depth to the story.

Brotherwood was fun and all, but it was just that. The fact that the characters were tossing around philosophers stones away like candy, and how there were too many coincidences occurring/good things happening to the characters in the story, followed by that weird ass "hurr villain wanna be god but we'll show him" ending kinda ruined the type of vibe i was expecting from this series

2003 was convoluted as shit. Holy crap wrath was annoying as fuck.

Yeah really hated that, I mean they did it just for the sake of providing us with that ending, but yeah ed could've used tha damn ship or something to get themselves out

The original's second half was half-assed. On what basis do you say that? I'll also add that the original's ending also made more sense than Brohood, because by having seen the otehr side of the Gate and returned Ed found what he'd been looking for all along, and basically knew there was at least one other universe where he would live on if he used his body as materia for Al's. Equivalent Exchange hadn't cheated them, and Dante was wrong after all.

I'm pretty sure he didn't get anything for his Getsuda Tenshou Final in the manga.

*wasn't

Conqueror is obviously not canon . I don't think the same people wrote it. A lot of it is out of character (like the naked Izumi and Wrath moment) and over-the-top to appeal to the cinema goers.

The only legit claim to veritability I give it is that Envy dragon was foreshadowed, but by that point Envy is a freak and that probably had something to do with the beginning when he's introduced and says he doesn't remember his true form (albeit obviously he does).

There are people ITT right now defending this

Just make a good FMA game, I don't care which cannon it's based on. Fucking Square Enix holding FMA hostage.

Fuck that little bitch alchemy. They should make a Seikon no Qwaser game instead.

Yeah but I also don't buy them leaving us with that original anime ending. That would be fucking cruel leaving it open like that. They had to have known there would be a movie or something to leave it that open.

Isn't Seikon no Qwaser just about titty sucking? I haven't done any research into it other than jerking off to it occasionally.

>there will never be a SUPEISU DANDY game
why live

I'd play it
Titty sucking AND periodic table battling

>filename
except she isn't out of place, because she's in brotherhood
the tone of brotherhood in general, even though it's still somewhat serious, is sillier, so she fits

anyway i could waste time explaining the major difference between brotherhood and 2003 but why bother when the anime does it for you
>2003: to become a state alchemist, Ed works hard and passes a test
>Brotherhood: to become a state alchemist, Ed threatens the fucking fuhrer with a sharp iron stick

>2003
>Implying brotherhood isn't better in every way
Watch it again. I'm telling you, watch it again. 2003 is just so much more convoluted and boring. Brotherhood is so much better because it makes every single character interesting have have a complete character arc. 2003 is way too literal with it's themes. You're telling me the furer LITERALLY being Hitler is good writing? 2003 is literally GT tier. There's another city under the city! We're actually a war metaphor! Isn't that CRAZY? People only think the ending is deep because it's sad. I swear everyone who says 2003 is better is a fedorafag.

Riza was one of my first waifus

I meant in that it didn't feel as well thought out, obviousely since the writers had to think of something quick to continue the story once they caught up with the then imcomplete manga. Either way I adore how they kept the story's darker tone consistently good.

That's perhaps one of brotherhood's only reedemable factors, the fact that it felt well thought out from start to finish, and the story wasn't going to be derailed by any sort of filler.

I bought the dvd with its writers commentary and all, it was the same writers and director who did the series.

If I remember correctly one of them even claimed they were originally thinking of making a 24 episode series explaining the ending thouroughly instead of making a movie, but since there were already plans of making brotherhood the writers decided to just rush out the ending and finish the series in order to start working on the reboot.
