I've seen that one and read the manga. The old anime really borked up the ending.
More specifically, the older series caught up to the manga around halfway through the anime's run, so they had to make up the rest. And they couldn't just ask the mangaka what happened next, because the mangaka hadn't actually decided yet. Which is why they're different. So... while I agree that Brotherhood's ending (which I'm told is very similar to the manga's) is better, I'm not really comfortable with saying that the first series made mistakes.
Brotherhood does kinda' assume that you've seen the first series and glosses over a lot of the less important early events in the chonology, though, so it's generally good to watch both. You never actually get to see Edward become a State Alchemist in Brotherhood, for instance, and that was kinda' cool.

^Or you just read the manga and get the best of them both ;P

Alright I'm coming back to my earlier statement. I think the end is so ****ty I wouldn't dare putting anyone through the trouble of watching it. God what a blunder. It had so much potential.
Or perhaps I just didn't get a thing from it because I've never been interested in the bible, but I doubt it.
Sorry NGE, but you shall not pass.

Eva's ending is terrible because Gainax kinda' ran out of money at the end. Hell, they hadn't even expected it to get that far; they'd expected to go bankrupt by then. Try watching End of Eva. Just be aware that it's a little more... Adult. (Shinji jerks off to unconscious Asuka in the first five minutes.)

Soo I finally finished Shinobi No Kuni. It was good.
It was really good in some parts, but the ending left me kind of disappointed..
It was just silly how XXX died. YYY should not have gone about it that way, I mean, come on..
It feels kind of like the author getting ideas that he thought were really cinematic and cool and then trying to weave them into a story where they don't make sense.
I think I'd still recommend giving it a read though, despite the disappointing ending.

I.e: Mike Rogers doesn't think it's rape unless the victim knows (s)he has been raped. Sounds legit.

Just finished 22 episodes of Kill La Kill, 25 of Sword Art Online, and 8 episodes of Space Dandy. All average. I would recommend kill la kill if you like fan service with humor. SOA...meh...is okay but nothing to write home about. Dandy is funny. If you like a mix of fan service and humor with the styling of like a samurai champloo you should enjoy it.
Kill la Kill prolly a 7/10
SOA prolly a 6.5/10
Dandy prolly a 7.5/10

The original 2003-2004 one. I plan on watching brotherhood as well. Also isn't brotherhood based off the manga?

Honesty I'm not. Did I miss another party?
There's a strong blind character in One Piece. A world where eating a fruit somehow grants you abilities that defy the laws of physics. My point being that it's okay when little of the story is based off the real world, but when it's heavily based in reality then unrealistic things really stand out.
Glad to hear that :)
Come back if you liked it. I could recommend a few more :)
