Does The Fullmetal Alchemist Have A Story?

Im on episode 11 and I have yet to see any story develop. Every episode features a new villain and a new problem. After the villain is defeated, hes never seen again and every episode is the same. Im getting tired of these Pokemon styled episodes.

So topic and when will I see this? Also, would it be a good idea to stop FMA and start FMAB where it begins to follow the manga?

It definitely has a story. I didn't start watching till like episode 20 but keep watching. It's worth it.

If you are at episode 11 and you dont know what the story is about, then you are doing it wrong :| Dante2710

Dont be a smartass please. SPOILER.

Basically, after 11 episodes, Ed and Al want the Philosophers Stone. Ed becomes a State Alchemist. And they beat up a bunch of bad guys while moving from town to town.

If Im missing something please tell me.

It does have a story, but it's very different from the manga. I'd suggest you watch Brotherhood.FrozeN__54

I was thinking that. At what episode of FMA should I stop to make my transition to FMAB?

The old FMA series is different from the manga. If you want to watch FMA: B instead then just go ahead and do it now because it's a remake that follows the manga closely.

yes the original one does have a story it may not be so obvious in the begining but it does develop further the more you watch.

hes not being a smart ass, hes telling the truth of the story, a very good sum up of the beggining IMO.

Well Im on episode 11 and obviously I should know that much by now. What was the point of giving me a summary of episode 1 then?

There is a story, and it is quite good. Just takes a while for it to kick in (Most anime starts with some episodes to get you to know central characters before kicking off the plot, usually works well)

It has a big story, and a very good one at that. FMA Brotherhood has a better one though.
