McCloud read the manga and then watch the first FMA and then you'll see why it was "redone".This one is the real story where the first FMA took to its own story. So before you go around saying uneducated thing I would suggest you do some research, you'll find that it makes you look less like a idiot

I was confused when I saw this on Hulu too, but 2 minutes of simple Wikipedia research would have answered your question as it did mine. Eventually, the original anime series branched off and took its own storyline, away from the manga's plot. This series will supposedly follow the manga's plot for its entire run. The reason that this has basically been a rehash of the original series so far is that we're not at the point yet where the original series branched off from the manga's storyline.

This version of the Fullmetal Alchemist is following the manga to the "T." If you don't like the version you're watching you should just stop watching. It's really that simple. Why waste time ranting about something if you're not going to do any research on it's origin.

The original FMA certainly did have a more intimate feel to it. The pacing was a lot slower which gave you more time to get to know the characters and granted the show a more adventurous feel. However, i have not read the manga, and I hear from other comments that this show is initially rushed in the beginning so as to swiftly get to the point where the manga diverges from the original anime series. Thus, I will reserve judgment.As to your comment, Revan Mccloud, I just want to say thank you for that lovely read. Your english is clearly broken in more places than humptey dumptey, but at least it isn't broken in the typical mispelling/poor sentence structure manner. Rather, you've taken this breaking to a whole new level, where the flow of your sentences is, although completely unintelligible, absolutely fascinating and almost poetic. Bravo my friend, bravo.
