I also watched Riding Bean tonight. From the people who created Gunsmith Cats, so I had high hopes for it. While it's not as good as Gunsmith Cats, it's still pretty awesome. Bean is just a awesome character and I loved every moment of him on screen. The other characters where pretty good too, but Bean really stole the show for me. The anime has suspense, intense and kick ass action. It has everything you want a 80's action pop corn flick. If you like action anime or old school anime then Riding Bean is worth a watch. A shame that a series never got kick off. At least we got Gunsmith Cats later on. Grade: B-

well, I can't say I'm surprised Brotherhood is kinda casting a shadow over the original anime.
Brotherhood blew it out of the water and is probably one of the best anime made. in terms of writing, characters, action, whatever you can think of, it nails it spectacularly in any way possible. and I love that in this sea of anime that people push with bittersweet endings/mediocre ones, it's an anime that gives us a happy ending.

Brotherhood is pretty much my favorite anime to date. I really love that anime, so much so that I have no plans to ever watch the 2003 one--just because as good as it may be, it's not going to even come close to Brotherhood, and I don't want my FMA opinions to be muddled.
Also the thing with Rose makes me really uncomfortable. The 2003 series just sounds more depressing in general, and yeah...no thanks. |

Brotherhood likely gets the amount of love it does for a simple reason: viewers like to have the "real" adaptation first before anything else comes out.
It's one of the reasons Harry Potter fans get so annoyed when the movies are shorter than the books, or have parts left out. They don't get to see their favorite scenes, or a really important scene the director chose to leave out brought to life. If the 2003 FMA was released later rather than first (which would likely mean that Brotherhood in this case would still have filler episodes, like the big 3, to give the manga time to outpace the anime), then some fans may be more forgiving because it would be treated as an intersting alt. anime, rather than a "lie" of an adaptation. Even if you don't like or care about Attack on Titan, imagine if that chibi anime that's out know was the first adaptation of the manga: how pissed would the Titan fans be, that they weren't getting the 'true' anime they wanted? ...though to be fair, many of my friends who are into AoT started with and prefer the anime.

Personally, I think people just like Brotherhood because it's really, really good.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |

I still like to view adaptions on their own. Who cares if the anime does not stay close to the manga or the novel. As long they tell a good story then why should it matter? Movies like Starship Troopers was very different from the book and yet they made a good movie. I feel like FMA '03 does a good job on being a stand alone anime. Same with the early 2000's Hellsing TV series.

The fandom is actually pretty split on FMA. There are still plenty of people out there who prefer the 2003 series, they just aren't quite as vocal as the people who encourage newcomers to watch Brotherhood instead.
Personally I think Brotherhood is the better show by quite a margin, but both have their merits and the 2003 version isn't 'hated' by any stretch of the imagination.
