![]() But the rest of the storyline is entirely different. The main storyline in both series revolves around two Elric brothers, Edward and Alphonse, their failed attempt to bring their dead mother back through human transmutation and the loss of Edward’s leg and arm and Alphonse’s body.īoth are about their journey to find a Philosopher stone to revive their bodies. The plot in both series is very different, if not entirely. ![]() Be it its theme, plot, characters, introduction, development, animation (to some extent), and ending, both the animes successfully distinguish themselves. What Makes Fullmetal Alchemist and Brotherhood Stand Apart?ĭespite being the adaptations of the same manga series, both Fullmetal Alchemist and Brotherhood are poles apart, if you ask me. Since 2003 anime faithfully depicted the early chapters of the manga, so Brotherhood rushed through the beginning of the plot but slowed down as it got to the parts that had not yet been adopted. Many people believed that it was made for those who had presumably watched the first anime adaptation and had read the manga. However, after some episodes, the pace increases, and we reach a conclusion (almost) quite early.īrotherhood is fast-paced, and lesser time is given for introduction and character development. The reason is quite apparent, the manga was not yet complete. Fullmetal Alchemist is Slow-paced at the beginning, with each character given enough time for introduction and development. One of the differences between Fullmetal Alchemist and Brotherhood is the pacing that each follows. Brotherhood (2009), on the other hand, follows the manga storyline accurately and comprises 64 episodes that aired between August 2009 to August 2010. The series premiered in Japan on April 5, 2009, by MBS-TBS. Yasuhiro Irie directed the series, while Hiroshi Onogi wrote it, and it was composed by Akira Senju. The Brotherhood, a later adaptation she talked about, was again produced by the same studio which produced the first adaptation, i.e., Bones. The author of the series, Hiromu Arakawa, announced that a second adaption was under production in the 20th volume of manga (released in 2008). As a result, it diverges from the manga storyline in-between (mainly after the 10th episode), and the rest of the series is independently written. Since the manga was still in writing, the anime evidently outpaced it. Still, Arakawa allowed Bones to work independently from her and requested to create a different ending as she did not want both the mediums to have the same one. The manga was still in the writing process at that time. It was broadcast by MBS in Japan from October 2003 to October 2004 and spanned over 51 episodes. Productionįullmetal Alchemist, the 2003 version, was co-produced by the animation studio Bones, Mainichi Broadcasting System (MBS), and Aniplex and directed by Seiji Mizushima. Here I will tell you about the differences between these two and what made them stand apart. ![]() ![]() However, as the manga was still in writing near its end, i.e., in 2009, another anime series was made.īoth the animes were a huge success and received tremendous audience response, which ultimately led to the popularity of its merchandise. The first one, named Fullmetal Alchemist (2003 version), got positive reviews. The series’ success and positive response from critics and audiences led to its adaptation into not only one but two anime series. In addition, the characters are well-thought-out, each having its own story and development. The series’s accurate political and historical referencing is commendable. It’s an action-packed thriller with drama, suspense, and comedy. The series is set in the 20th century and Post WW-II era and uses war and its after-effects as a theme. It’s about their path to redemption while fighting the evils, Homunculi. Their bodies fell victim to a failed attempt at human transmutation. The series was adapted into various forms like novels, live-action films, anime series, etc.įullmetal Alchemist revolves around the story of two Alchemist brothers, Edward and Alphonse, and their journey to find the Philosopher stone to retrieve their bodies.
