Fullmetal Alchemist
| I did some research about FMA 2003 and it once had one of the highest scores on MAL, now it's an 8.13. While I do prefer FMA:B, it feels like this adaptation doesn't get the same respect even though it's nearly as good. |

It even had a sequel movie and i thought that would solve the ending but nah i think it made it more f-ed up, thats why this adaptation is underappreciated.I did some research about FMA 2003 and it once had one of the highest scores on MAL, now it's an 8.13.

The ending wasn't as good as Brotherhood's but for an original work, it's pretty good. |
| I enjoyed brotherhood more due to it went further ahead compared to the original. Can't remember sh*t from those though. But I know I enjoyed the original very much too. Guess since it's more new and people somehow start to rate anime because of animation, which is stupid, so they skip the original and go straight for the newer one. |

| It's pretty decent imo and I like the dark story of it but I guess once FMAB cane out FMA because overshadowed. |
| Probably couse of the whole "it doesn't follow the manga" routine. I mean for an original ending it still is a pretty good anime. Even though i watched brotherhood first, i still enjoyed this adaptation. |
| Yall stop the cap about the ending being bad it was fast but it made sense thematically if you think about it |
| Most people usually shit on this adaptation just because it doesn't follow the manga. The reason why it's popularity has become non-existent is due to the general consensus of anime original plots being bad or the ending being shit. In my opinion, FMA 2003 doesn't deserve the hate, it's as good as Brotherhood and even better in certain aspects. I also don't get the hate towards the ending. It had good build-up and made sense. It doesn't follow the generic showdown between heroes and villains and also doesn't involve our protagonist just punching his way to victory. |
| The problem is the ending and 2009's version.Most of the people only watched FMAB not this version.And the ending is really bad and rushed tho and the sequel movie of this only make it even worse for me. |

| This version was swimming in the 8,70´s until brotherhood dropped. |

| When MAL started, this anime had around an 8.88 score (you can search on Youtube about timelapse videos about MAL). When Brotherhood dropped, everyone started hating on this anime because.... it's not the true adaptation I guess. I started watching Brotherhood first and disliked it immensely. It's full of issues and most people completely overlook them either because they let their emotions cloud their judgement or they are simply conditioned to call it a masterpiece because the general consensus is that "it's a masterpiece" (which is bullshit). This one made me appreciate Brotherhood more as just a grand, entertaining adventure, while this one is the real strong story, so I can't thank this anime enough. As time is passing, though, people are slowly starting to appreciate this one more, so I guess there is that. As for 2003 and Brotherhood scores, they're absolutely irrelevant, especially on this website, where it's basically fanboy wars and review bombing other anime. It's disgusting. |

| Contrary to what most people think, I think the ending is almost perfect. Definitely better than the manga's ending imo. I'm just a huge fan of the direction this anime took compared to the manga |
| Back in the day, this was rated as one of the best around, now it's like people go around downvoting it because Brotherhood exists. |
