Full Metal Alchemist is one of the all-time greats of anime.

FMA was one of the first major serialized animes to make its way onto western television and as such became a fan favourite. Similar to Dragon Ball Z or Death Note, newcomers will have no doubt been asked at some point to check out this exciting tale of alchemy and brotherly love.

However, we aren't here to talk about the original but rather the later adaptation titled Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood. What this rendition did differently was that it followed the source material much more closely which created a divide between fans.

The first story arc plays out relatively the same, but deviates when more and more characters begin to be introduced, with the major difference being how the Seven Deadly Sins characters are represented.

Some prefer the original for the nostalgia, while others praise Brotherhood for its accuracy.

Both versions are incredible to watch and we urge you to decide for yourself which one you prefer.
