@@thedude3065 And that same kid (12 year old Aaron Dismuke) would go on to voice Ed and Alphonse's father in an early flashback as part of the Brotherhood series, before going on to voice the likes of Leonardo Watch in Blood Blockade Battlefront, Senku Ishigami in Dr. Stone, Miyuki Shirogane in Kaguya-sama: Love is War, and much more! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Dismuke
Guess it's due to how Brotherhood focuses more on the entirety of the manga? Kind of a shame either way. Ed's more of a shameless prick in 2003 and I love it!
I think 2003 had some weak episodes, especially the episodic ones and the story get a bit messy and weaker than brotherhood but it has a stronger begining and ut isn't bad. It definitely has some strengths compared to brotherhood even though I think overall brotherhood is stronger.
I have watch Brotherhood first and then 2003, both of them is good! It's like when you play a game and trying to get different ending, the story will be different too! It's so excited!! You should watch Brotherhood first and then the 2003 (this is my opinion) it'll give you experience like to know more deep the characters (like find secret documentation about characters past) if you watch Brotherhood first and then 2003 ❤❤
I’m personally biased towards brotherhood because I watched it first but I recently got my dads old computer which has both series and a movie so score! I’m gonna try to watch this one later.
Si, una lástima que el manga no estaba terminado, porque esta adaptación del 2003 es mejor que lo que hicieron con Brotherhood, y no es que esta segunda adaptación sea mala lo que mas molesta es sus excesiva comedia mal usada y boba que arruina los momentos serios haciendo que la historia pierda su profundidad y se vuelva como si todo fuera un juego de niños y que no hay nada malo.
Damn i havent seen the original in a long time but i forget how well they nail the brotherly bond and dialoge in this anime, brotherhood is much better on the story and pacing but the emotions of the 2003 version are arguably better ( its really hard for me but i love them both )
2003 can't mess up the story since it has its own, though? Also, having read the manga Brotherhood is rather excessive at repeating jokes that really weren't that prevalent in the manga. So are you sure it's not the other way around?
Ok..? Personally i don't think it is necessary to compare them because their plot etc is so different, like they are whole different animes only with the same characters and general idea. i do think 03's story becomes a lil difficult to follow but brotherhood also has it's own problems. Especially with the humor. plus sticking to manga doesn't mean it'll be better
@@larianne_d And it's debatable if Brotherhood even actually does stick to the manga sometimes. And I agree! Having read the manga and watched 2003, they're quite different! They start out essentially the same but manga's idea of pushing the plot is growing the scope while 2003 went the route of diving deeper into our already established characters.
