#whats interesting about the two series is you kind of get a #monster of the week adaptation and a straight plot adaptation #thats not to say 03 can be watched out of order—it cant. order definitely matters #but the overarching plot allows for a slower less direct approach #our heroes are on a quest to find information and that takes time #so it allows for them to meet more people and go more places and have these mini adventures within the big adventure #whereas bh plays out like a movie—point a to point b as quickly as possible #and its good. its really enjoyable to watch like a good marvel movie #but wow fma works SO WELL as a more traditional monster of the week-esque show #usually i prefer the more plot-direct approach but not here #i loved every single one of ed and al’s side adventures busting criminals with their alchemy and child genius #their characters are so great and so are the temporary characters they meet for an episode or two #who reveal more about the world or about alchemy-all the different ways alchemy can be used #and mustang and his team that reside at hq and sometimes drop in to help out #theres so much potential for more of these adventures because of ed’s years in the military #like i would gladly take a series just about his time in the military from 12-14 #all the mysteries he solved and criminals he busted
