This here is a little discussion if you have seen both versions of the anime of the manga adaptation of Full Metal Alchemist. This manga is set in a world where people who have the ability to perform alchemy and this is where two young boys try to bring back there dead mother through the use of alchemy. Don’t want to spoil the rest of the story for the people who have not seen it or read the manga, but this leads me to my discussion on whether you prefer the fist version of the anime which follows more of the main story in the manga from what I have read about or do you prefer the newer version called Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood. For me having watched both of them I lean more towards the brotherhood version of the show. This is due to the story and the art style that is used in this version is more intriguing than the first version. Don’t get me wrong both of them are great shows and adaptations of the manga but there’s something about brotherhood that stand out more to me. If you want to watch these series I believe they are still on Netflix.

I first started watching anime with Dragon Ball Z when I was growing up. At the time I didn’t know that the whole show that I was watching and enjoying was based off of a Japanese manga. Later on when I got into middle school I found a volume of Shonen Jump magazine and this is were I found out about a lot of mangas and this includes the topic of this short blog and the is Bleach. It looked interesting to me but it took till about a couple of weeks ago for me to really start watching the anime version of the manga. Knowing just recently, that when having to get an anime going from the source material it includes a lot of filler episodes or arcs. While watching the anime I didn’t know about the main arcs of the manga and this caused me to look into the history and chapters of Bleach. I myself am going to try and  read the rest of the chapters that didn’t make it to the anime version before it got canceled. Im sure I’m not the only one who has seen an animated show and started to wonder where this came from and want to know more about it.
