The first season is definitely the "worst" of Bb. It's still fantastic. The roller coaster is just climbing the hill.
Is it one of these 1 hour per episode (not including commercials) series? I have the whole series on DVD.

No its 43 minutes an episode cause of commercials.
I could swear the first episode was like 55 minutes or something.

A few are extra long.
I may watch the original first just to annoy you.

You can watch the original first, in fact I'd recommend it as once you watch Brotherhood the original will seem lame. But I worry that anyone who watches the original may not make it through as the first 13-ish episodes are mostly light, fluffy and early 90s style fluff and the story doesn't start getting interesting till Dr Marco shows up. There's still some decent stuff to see if you've watched Brotherhood first like Ed and Mustang facing off in a duel, the origins of Barry the Chopper and more.
SupremeAC said:I would, if it were not for the fact that I have never watched any true anime. Thus, in order to truely, justly appreciate it's sheer magnificence, I would first have to withdraw into my chambers for years on end to watch inferior anime, living the life of a recluce, long winding nails and pots of piss and everything.
Obviously, with work, family and life in general, I can not make the appropriate sacrifice. Rather than risking not being able to recognize FMA for it's true worth, I have decided against watching it at all.
It's been a tough decission. I spent many a sleepless night pondering the pro's and cons. I consulted the stars. I paid many a visit to the local tarrot cards reader. I wrote my guru and great inspiration, Shigeru Miyamoto, a letter asking for advice. In the end though, the lines of cosmic energy that govern all in the universe have shown me that this is the route I must take.
I am sorry GG. I really want to watch FMA, but you must understand that it is not to be for reasons that are greater than my own puny being.
I forgot to congratulate you on this post, very good!
To the topic question, my first honest response was, "I have to warn everyone how bad it is".
As to the spirit of the thread, I just can't be bothered tracking down non-game related content. Here in Australia I am sure there are pirated ways to get it easy on the internet, but I've honestly never even looked into torrents or anything because it seems like a lot of work for content I don't have time for.
I get my content through podcasts, Kindle (e-reader), and physical game stores and Steam. Anything more than that requires more time and energy than I have.
gamingeek said:I'm sure they sell it in stores. You can also pretty easily find it online, on youtube or animetycoon, Netflix etc.
So now not only does he have to put in time and energy, but money, too?
I tried one of the Fullmetal Alchemist manga once.
I don't remember much about it, which means, no. Is Brohood a special offshoot? Or is all the anime under that title?
Stop comparing FMA to Star Wars. FMA is actually good!

I did not watch FMA. B. I read the manga. Whelp, get on my level!
I loved every single episode of Breaking Bad. I'd suggest watching the first three episodes. If you are not hooked by the end of the third episode, then it's probably not a show for you.
