Okay. But in the FMA case most people say "Fuck the 2003 version. It sucks." without even watching it. Most people are under the impression that the closer an anime follows the manga the better it is. That is pretty stupid.

I understand people when they go "Soul Eater manga is better" because the anime ending was bad, or the "Hellsing Ultimate is better" because the first one was truly horrid. But FMA 2003 is a good show. And I like several things they did that are not in Brotherhood. So it really pisses me off when people say that it's bad. It's not bad, it's just different than Brotherhood and less in scale. Sure, you can say that Brotherhood is better, but that doesn't mean that the 2003 version is bad. It's just not as good.

And even then you can watch more content of a show you love. That's always a good thing.

Wow that was a long rant.
