I might watch Brotherhood one day, but I doubt any time soon. I can see why they remade it though. It's super popular, and really, everything after Hughes' death in the first anime spun away from the manga and had delicious plot holes in them. The new anime goes strictly by the manga, so really, it's like, episodes 10 through the end were new to a lot of people who don't read the manga.

Also: It's shiny |D
