Forum:2003 vs 2009?

I was wondering if anyone could summarize the main differences betwee the two branches.

I know the key details but can't shake the feeling that I'm missing some of them.

In common

Ed and Al look for the Stone

Differences

everything else

Homonculus have different motives, there was no "father" instead there was a women named Dante who controlled the Homunculus and the only Homunculi who were the same were Envy,Lust,gluttony, and greed.

thanks and I hope the reply answers questions for people with the same confusion.


 * No problem. When the 2003 series came out, the manga was not yet complete. Instead of adding huge amounts of filler to the story while more manga chapters came out, Arakawa and the producers decided to change the story, and wait for a new series that would have the manga story (2009 series). As for the similarities and differences, you're right, basically the only similarity is that the Elrics look for the stone. The 2003 series starts to diverge around episode 21 I believe, most of the story after the Lab Five part is different.--Fullmetal Fan 06:42, January 25, 2011 (UTC)

Well I do know the last episode to use story material from the manga is Episode 34. -Adv193 15:55, January 25, 2011 (UTC)

I wish they would expand the series with another movie...not the 2011 one...but something like Shambala...
