VivianRixia@piefed.social 1 day ago True, but its more complicated to recommend like that. And I found the pacing of the original to be too slow for my liking. I agree that Brotherhood rushes through those first stories too fast, and skips two arcs that matter for no reason, but the original was slow and boring, even if it told the stories properly.

I mean, if you can enjoy the pacing of Frieren, you can enjoy the pacing of the original FMA.
I obviously don’t want to spoil anything for anyone who hasn’t seen it but the rush in Brotherhood robs some crucial plot points of any emotional impact and is lesser for it.

If you’re talking about the Tucker family that whole thing actually gets even less time in the original original FMA - that is to say, the manga. I think it’s all over in 2 pages or something crazy like that.
I think Frieren does the slow pacing much better than the original FMA, but that’s a fair take.
