i tried to rewatch the first anime recentlly and i was like bruh this SUCKS i cant stand it fmab is so good tho i love that iT ACTUALLY FOLLOWS THE STORY
i remember the way i actually started reading the manga was after i'd just finished watching fma and i had this huge gaping hole in my chest telling me "no.....no it cannot end like this...." and i'd stumbled upon a forum where someone was like "the anime doesn't follow the manga???" so i was like "DANG OKAY I'M GOING TO READ THE MANGA" and so i did and i fell in love with it and noticed immediately "YES, THIS IS HOW THE CHARACTERS ARE SUPPOSE TO BE THIS MAKES SO MUCH MORE SENSE!" and when i found out they were making brotherhood and it was suppose to follow the manga I WAS SO EXCITED because i'd finally get to see my favorite characters the way they were supposed to be
