I love Full Metal Alchemist. It is, in my mind, one of the best anime series ever made (next to Bleach, of course
 ).
However, I am wondering something about this series. I have heard that the anime, at some point, begins to follow a completely different story from the manga. This raises three questions. 1. At what point (which anime episode, specifically) does the anime break away from the manga? I do not wish for details, please, as it is too good a story to be spoiled. 2. Why did this happen? 3. Which story do most people prefer, the anime or the manga, and why? If anyone can assist me here, I will much appreciate it. |

1. Well, technically the first episode. But it gets really differenty after episode 25.
2. More than likely they ran out of manga to adapt. |

To answer your questions (Numbers 1, 2) I believe at vol 5 of the manga is where the story defintely begin to split away from each other. This is also the same time Ed and Al spoiler[go to find there teacher which is like the 6 or 7 volume in the series. Also in vol 5 of the manga Ed, Al, and Winry meet the girl with automail arms and she challenges Ed to a contest things become very different there as this when Ed and Al help deliever a baby. Well it's actually Winry who does, and she stay in town to become an apprentice and work on making better automail.]
Till next time, Delta Kiral |
