Cowboy Bebop didn't have an open ending, Spike died, the main villain of the show was killed, the end.

And we shall not discuss that which does not have a Brotherhood subtitle.

I find it hilarious that the original FMA anime was heralded as a high quality and excellent anime series, and then Brotherhood comes and says that it actually sticks to the manga and now the '03 FMA series is treated like it's a crappy show and should never be brought up :lol

Oh, and now I desperately want to watch Gekiranger. Please, Let's Watch, vote for Geki! D:

I'm up for the next Let's Watch being Geki.

I've always really liked GekiTouja, its GekiFire I can't stand.

So true :lol
If I went back and watched the original anime I'd still probably enjoy it, but Shamballa has always been a pretty awful film.

Oh, yeah, Shamballa has crappy anime OVA written all over it.
But the 03 series as a whole is actually a pretty nice anime, one of the few anime I don't write off as crap and cliche.

Honestly, I was not a fan of the original anime. I enjoyed it when it was on Adult Swim, but I never found it to be ground breaking or anything. Brotherhood, on the other hand, I absolutely loved the moment I watched the first disc. There are some good things done in the original anime, but Brotherhood had far better story telling and character growth. Ed actually changed throughout the series whereas I did not feel he grew that much in the original anime.

Anyway, I just finished the first episode with Burai (17). I forgot that some of the worst episodes were done right before in a string. The eleventh episode with the Djinn, the 13th with the Dwarf, and then 16 with the sneezing plant are down right horrible episodes and I would have skipped them had this not been the first time I was seeing them subbed

I have to defend the toy, it's one of my favorite pieces in my DX collection, if not my favorite. It's simple yes, but its also rather proportionate and solid-feeling. He loks strong and powerful to me. The combination, though simple, is perfectly stable and the individual components all look perfect. The arms have a decent range of motion and his wrists make a whole lot of difference in posing. The torso spinning gimmick is actually a whole lot of fun.

Aside from the simple combination (which I personally don't mind) and the fact that you don't have a place to store his weapon in combined form (way better than Gokaiger's messy situation), there is nothing I can fault about this toy.

Yeah, fuck that noise. I love FMA '03 and I honestly have no desire to watch Brotherhood because I could easily just read the manga, since they're basically the same with a few minor changes.

I never said it was crap,I just said it was open ended.I'm actually rewatching the whole series right now,and I love the stories from it.(Although the Greed storyline was too short imo,wanted to see more of him) I liked the '03 series cause it was more story driven,where Brotherhood was all about action,till the ending where it just got out of control.It went from all about alchemy to a giant demon homunculous about to kill everyone on the planet and swallow the eye-moon!

Also yes,vote for Gekiranger.

Not you perse, just general public opinion. It's been widely and openly negative about the 03 series since the advent of Brotherhood.
