Fullmetal Alchemist (2003)

4 Oct 2003

Fifty-one episodes. Faithful at first, then it runs out of manga and goes somewhere considerably bleaker on its own.

Conqueror of Shamballa

23 Jul 2005

The ending to the 2003 continuity, set partly in 1920s Germany. Required only if you watched that series.

Brotherhood

2009 – 2011 · Adaptation B · Made after the manga finished, and adapts all of it.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

5 Apr 2009

Sixty-four episodes adapting the finished manga. Moves fast through the material the 2003 series already covered.

The Sacred Star of Milos

2 Jul 2011

A side story slotted into the middle of Brotherhood. Self-contained, and skippable without losing anything.
