Do people just like Brotherhood better because it's more like the manga?

I'm pretty sure that's the reason. I like both for different reasons. The original FMA anime has a special place in my heart as I saw it first. It was also the first long series I shelled out money for. Also my ships are different in FMA and FMA:B. I like that I can have two different ending for Ed and Al too. I think that's neat.

When the original FMA anime and manga were around, people pitted the two against each other, so now people pit all three. The purists won't like FMA1 and might not even like FMA:B for not being an exact replica of the manga. FMA1 lovers might not like FMA:B for being different than FMA1 and like me, have a special place in their heart for it.

Of course, I like all three. Why have one version when you can have more?

I only discovered FMA, through the manga, laaate in the print run (I think FMAB may even have already ended by then). But it seems like it must have been complicated when the first anime was the only version available in English for years, and conflicting feelings about which were the 'real' versions. I'm sort of glad I missed all that strife!

I've personally only seen bits of each anime but I think it's awesome that people can enjoy the different versions in different ways. Maybe just because I read American comics and different versions of canon happen all the time, it doesn't seem as big a deal to me? But fandom does like to argue!

(What are your ships for the different series?)

[sootyowl]

There was lots of anger and silly squabbles. I haven't been in the FMA fandom for years and I don't miss the petty fights.

Fandom does love to argue. World peace it would not create.

In FMA I shipped Al/Ed and in FMA:B I shipped Winry/Ed. Those were the two big differences for me. Also, Roy/Riza more in FMA:B as I think it explores their background better; and Ling/Greed in FMA:B.

[likeadeuce]

The FMA fandom that existed on LJ/DW when I got into it was basically ALL about manga or Brotherhood (just b/c those were the ones people were getting caught up on the time) so I didn't see the conflict until I ran into it on tumblr.

And yeah, I can see those ship differences. I've also heard first anime was more femslashy (I haven't actually seen that much of it), with Winry & Scieska hanging out more.

[sootyowl]

Winry and Scieska did intereact more in FMA1. I can see why people would ship them. Maybe Riza/Maria as well? But I can't remember how much time they spent together.

[lunabee34]

Me me me! I was all about the Winry/Seska in the first anime. ;)

[sootyowl]

I remember them always hanging out at the central library together, "researching." I think the Shamballa movie also featured them travelling together, which gives more shipping posibilities :)

[lunabee34]

Oh cool. :)
