Fullmetal Alchemist & FMA Brotherhood Filler List & Watch Guide

What's the difference between Fullmetal Alchemist and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood?

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, or FMAB, is the second adaptation of the original FMA anime series but is closer to the original manga.  As shown above, Brotherhood is longer than the original FMA with 64 episodes. 

Should I watch both Fullmetal Alchemist AND Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood?

Yes! You should watch both Fullmetal Alchemist and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, starting with FMAB. They are both awesome in their own way, and while FMAB is more accurate to the original manga, many people still prefer Fullmetal Alchemist, while many people prefer FMAB.

What order should I watch them in?

We generally recommend watching Fullmetal Alchemist first and then moving onto Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood next. BUT, you don't necessarily HAVE to watch in that order as they are both their own separate stories, with the same beginning.

FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST FILLER EPISODERS

Filler Episodes are the episodes in which nothing happens to affect the progress of the long-term story arcs or to develop the main characters, and no returning side characters, or other significant persons (other than the main characters), appear.

These are also sometimes made to take some time for the original manga to create new chapters.
