>this slop was #1 on MAL for like 12 years, topping much better shows, because FMAutists were obsessed enough to bot the shit out of it and other sites like anilist
Literally brony tier
What is it about Brotherhood that causes this much

Does anyone else miss the 90s/early 2000s? Sure there was a lot of slop back then but there was also genuine kino with depth. Newfags will never understand since they mostly consume shonen trash now.

It's not just that it's "mature" like Monster, it also has that classic early 2000s animation while Brotherhood is more modern and soulless, FMA 03 and Monster are almost contemporaries after all, with the latter only coming out in 2004. Also compare it to Kino's Journey (2003) or Haibane Renmei a bit earlier (2002). God what a soulful era of anime
