Ghost Story is another example where the humor was introduced almost entirely in the dub. In the original Japanese, the humor was primarily based on puns and double-talk. A prime example is Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo, which Western audiences know for its surrealist, nonsensical humor. The funniest series out there rely on Japanese puns that don't translate.

Some jokes may be lost on Western audiences. The original has an even pace and more drama. Both have great animation, engaging stories, and fantastic dubs.īrotherhood is a good choice if you prefer a faster pace, more action, and more humor.

Brotherhood came later, and it faithfully adapts the entire manga. The difference is the former was produced while the manga was in production, so the end of the show has nothing to do with the manga. The more contentious issue is whether to choose Fullmetal Alchemist or Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.įor the uninitiated, Fullmetal Alchemist and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood are based on the same manga. There's no question about whether the story of the Elric brothers belongs on any list of the best anime of all time. Building on that foundation, it delivers a story about two brothers that's as grounded as the setting is fantastic. The reason Fullmetal Alchemist is the best fantasy anime of all time is that it paints a fully realized, unique world with internally consistent rules that have real consequences.
