Thread: FMA manga or anime?

i reackon the anime is better
exspecailly in jap voice

just watched the movie...u know, the ending of the anime series, conqueror of shambala....
now i just wish i haven't. the incomplete but promising ending of the last episode, when the 2 brothers were separated was much better.

Manga is better because it have longer story and detail explanation of the world

manga and anime, both at equal

I prefer the story in the manga. The events after Hughes death make more sense in the anime than in the manga when you compare the two. That's only natural though because the mangas story line was the original. Still, the anime did a great job of providing a great story even though they deviated from the original plan due to impatience. All in all, the story for the manga is far more interesting in my opinion because it goes really deep into the story and leaves few (if any) loose ends.

I watch the Anime but didnt find it really that good..but damn the manga is soo interesting and the story is wayyyy better than the anime...well i know they hurry finishing the anime but still....the vote goes for the Manga

the manga is way better cuz after i started reading the manga i was really disappointed with the anime cuz it was so unlike the manga.

I like both. But manga is much better, the story is longer and better explained. The anime just leave too many blank spaces.

When does the story split? I heard that the story of the manga and anime is identical until a certain point, when does the anime turn into it's own thing? I wanna read from that point :>

I prefer the manga. More cool characters (like Ling), quicker pacing, and it doesn't lay the melodrama on so thick like the anime did.

I really liked the dub of the anime (hadn't seen the sub past two episodes), so when I read the manga I imagine those voices for most of the characters (I love King Bradley's sinister Nixon-like voice lol).
