    It’s not that unusual, it’s been over 25 years since it started. The current anime will closely follow the manga for the veteran fans, the new one is meant for people who want to get into it but don’t want to watch hundreds of episodes of filler in an old animation style.

    Reminds me of that time Fullmetal Alchemist did a complete remake of the anime just 5 years after it ended.

      FMA and FMA:B are a little bit different, Fullmetal Alchemist was made while the manga was still being written. It ended up being a completely different story than Brotherhood. So it’s not really a “remake,” FMA:B is the manga accurate story, and FMA is kinda like fanfiction, or an alternate universe.
