@the-Pi-guy What's going on with Dragon Prince?  I only got up to a few episode of Season 4 and I just didn't get around to watching the rest.  Why do they need a kickstarter to finish when Netflix gave them 7 seasons? (I was shocked when I heard they got that much)

I had only watched the first ~3 seasons I think. 

But apparently they didn't finish the story in 7 seasons.

That I gathered, but why?  I mean, it's not like they didn't know they had 7 seasons to wrap up the show.  Now they go into their hubris and try to get an 8th season made instead of finishing things up?

No idea.

Maybe they thought it'd be popular enough that they would just keep making it. 

Or maybe, they made bad writing decisions because of feedback, and weren't sure where to take it.

has anyone watch full metal alchemist brotherhood?


i watched the original anime years ago.   i was told brotherhood was amazing.   i guess i figured it was a sequel but after 3 episodes it is so far a 100% rehash of what i've already watched.  i wanted original content.   not sure i want to watch a reboot.

I haven't watched it yet, but the original was made while the manga was still being written, so it differs from the manga quite a bit as you go. 

Whereas Brotherhood was made close to the end, and basically matches the manga. 

From what I understand it diverges more and more as you go. I see a few different episode numbers, somewhere in the 10-14th episode it diverges from the original anime.  

The most that I really knew before, was that people have said they expect that you've watched the original so they rush through the early stuff.

This. Both are great but quite different

The second half is probably very different.  As others have mentioned, the manga was being written and the anime goes way off.  Brotherhood is closer to the manga.

okay.  so I checked to episodes and you are suggesting part 1 of 5 is redundant and parts 4 plus are new.  

I guess I can deal with that.
