Hey now. Show the original FMA anime some love. They did the best that they could with what they had. You really have to keep in mind that the FMA manga only ended a couple years ago while the original anime was well before that. The manga wasn't completed, so they had no choice but to make stuff up. They didn't intentionally leave things out. They just used all of the manga that was published and made things up once they ran out of canon material. Kind of like what they're going to have to start doing with Conan soon since the anime is catching up.
Anyway, that's WHY they made Brotherhood once the manga was more complete. The original did the best it could, and I think it did a laudable job, so let's not be unfair to it.
Side note: Oh my gosh Ling! Much love. And the Hawkeye Roy stuff! Oh the feels!

oh thank goodness XD yay! I used to think the original was pretty good too, at least until I started Brotherhood, and then I got sucked in so fast it wasn't even funny! the only part of the original that's okay-ish now is {in case someone hasn't seen it yet} the fact that Lust actually helps them out some (or so I think, it was so long ago I don't even remember anymore - and I know Scar was SO ANNOYING IN THE ORIGINAL he was far far better characterized in brotherhood ... actually everything is better in brotherhood. yeah. XD in short, FMA: B is one of the best series~ well, right now my attention is very well pinned on dcmk XD

I've only watched brotherhood, and now I'm kinda glad that I didn't watch the other . . . Actually, I watched and finished fmab before I discovered DC, and didn't recognize voices. So when I saw I meme showing that Conan and Envy are voiced by the same person . . . I immediately went to watch a part where Envy talks, and when I did . . . " I will never be able to watched fmab the same way again."

...I probably shouldn't have picked the scene where Riza shoots him and Mustang roasts him, but... yeah, will never watch fma the same way ever again O.O

*nods* agreed (that's the same scene I rewatched when I heard the Conan-ness in Envy's voice XD)
Oh, also, yeah. I'm the same case as Starlight. I first watched the first FMA (and the movie) before FMAB, and I cannot deny the fact that for the first five years before FMAB came out I've been obsessed with the 2004 (or was it 2003?) version of the series. But then FMAB came out and... just how again did Hohenheim become an Elric in the original? XD It's a shame Winry and Ed never ended up together... and Roy lost an eye and was demoted (LOL, this should go under the "spoiler" thingy but oh well, changed the font color to white instead) Other than that... it's fine (oh, except for Scar dying... ugh)

Besides Kaito and Conan?
Watching: Shirobako (which is amazing and I relate to it so much) Dear Boys (which I've only seen one episode of and I'm dreading the rest because it's such a steaming pile of shit) Cute High Earth Defense Club LOVE! Evangelion (actually a re-watch, since Eva was so important to me as a young teenager and I'm writing a fanfic involving it) Tenchi Muyou OVA (again, kind of a rewatch, I've seen most of it before but I wanna make sure I watch the whole thing straight through).
Reading: Evangelion (because I never finished the manga, so I ordered the omnibi) Haikyuu!! (waiting for the newest chapter) Say "I love you" (again, waiting for the new chapter) Love Stage!! (see above, I also have a real love-hate relationship with it) Legal Drug
I have a bunch of other shows that I want to start or re-watch too, I've just been too exhausted lately.

Ooooooh. That makes so much more sense. It's been a long time, but I didn't think I would forget something like that. Apparently I did, though. ^.^;

LOL, I remember always seeing Ed yell "MATSUMOTOOOOO!!!" back when I still follow Bleach xD (I think their CV's name is Romi Park? and she's known to have voiced badass adolescent genius boys who lack height like Hitsugaya and Ed...)
Which reminds me, I once saw this fanart of Ed and Hitsugaya... some kind of parallel thing with one half being Ed and one half Shiro-chan...

yup, that's her name XD or I think so, anyway. I watched bleach before fma, so I nearly fell out of my seat when I first heard ed XD and then I couldn't stop laughing at the similarities.
yeah, I've seen that fanart too!

And then there's Tao Ren from Shaman King, also voiced by Romi Park. Man, I miss Mankin. I was sooooo sad when it finally ended. I wonder if Shaman King Flowers is...doing anything. Hmm. Might need to check into that. Shaman King is my old flame. You know. Before I started seeing Magic Kaito exclusively.
