Binged this week:
Fullmetal Alchemist (2003 version)
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (2009 version)
I'd seen the first one about ten years ago and was lucky enough to remember nothing about the plot, only that at the time I had loved it. So I rewatched it to see if it was actually good, or if I just thought it was good when I was 17.
Turns out it's actually a really good story. Both versions are. They're tonally completely different and have vastly different strengths/weaknesses, but they've both got satisfying conclusions, which is more than most people get from a single TV series, let alone two versions of the same story.
