Fullmetal Alchemist : Brotherhood is nor a remake or second season of the original Fullmetal Alchemist.
Reason it is not the second season is because (2003)'
s Fullmetal Alchemist DID
end. There was an additional movie called Conquerer of Shamballa. This movie officially concluded it.
Not a remake either because there has never been ONE anime to date that has been remade by any other company, franchise, etc. As much as some companies would love to remake some of their epic fails, they do not feel
like spending the kind of time and money they could to make a
new shitty anime. Quality over quantity my dear.
It's well damn obvious the original series was rushed. As Death the
Kid quotes, "Everything not symetrical is ugly". My sentimentals exactly. The original Fullmetal Alchemist had a completely random
number for
number of episodes (
51 to be exact) and is grotesque in telling the story.
Compare and Contrast of the
two:
Fullmetal Alchemist : Brotherhood : It follows the
manga with less action and blood. There is no gore in this series (not noticed any yet), which means piles of gushing. Less action, more story.
2003 Adaption : It was made loosely with an oddly thought conclusion, more action and lots of gore. Less story.
Fullmetal Alchemist : Brotherhood :Tells the story with no fillers in a quick, yet detailed way.
2003 Adaption : Tells the story in a completely scattered, exagerated, and
boring way.
Fullmetal Alchemist : Brotherhood. : The color
scheme has also been redone with a nicer look.
2003 Adaption : Lots of color and shading. Not colored as
well as Brotherhood.
