Fullmetal Alchemist Manga vs First TV Series - ROUND EIGHT

Fullmetal Alchemist Manga vs First TV Series - ROUND EIGHT

So, this is it. The final round of manga/first anime series comparisons. After volume 8 of the manga (actually during volume 8), the differences between the two versions of FMA expand into a large gulf. In volume 8, the Xingese characters are introduced. In episodes of the series, there's a return to Lior, where Scar tries for revenge against those who destroyed his people.

It's been fun comparing.

Fullmetal Alchemist Manga vs First TV Series - ROUND FIVE

Volume 5 continues into volume 6 so seemlessly, especially as far as comparisons with the first anime, that I'll have to review the last chapter of this volume in the next round of comparisons.

EVENTS:

Chapter 17: The Boomtown of the Broken Down/Chapter 18: The Value of Sincerity/Chapter 19: I'll Do It For You Guys!

Fullmetal Alchemist Manga vs First TV Series - ROUND THREE

The third volume of the FMA manga covers the Elric brothers' trip back to Risembool to get Edward's automail arm fixed (it was destroyed by Scar), the research at Central's library into the Philosopher's Stone, and most of the Laboratory 5 incident. The first animated series stayed pretty faithful to this portion overall.

EVENTS:

Chapter 9: A Home with a Family Waiting
