Diffenetly, they're freakin awesome in Brotherhood!! Plus I hate some of them in the First Anime. I hate Wrath, Pride, and Sloth in the first anime. I hate Wrath in Brotherhood too, but not as much as the first anime. Also I just don't like the background stories for them in the first anime, I mean I kinda like it. But not that much. It was easier to understand in Brotherhood, it took me a while in the first anime to understand what the heck was going on. So yeah, they're diffenetly better then Brotherhood.

I agree completely.

I wish there was a "both" option. I agree that they were awesome and badass in the manga/Brotherhood. They were fantastic villains and I liked their powers and character designs a lot better. Greed especially was AMAZING; I love the way his character developed.

But I also appreciate the way they were re-imagined in the first anime (even if I think it could have been pulled off better. And the Wrath kid was SO ANNOYING URGH). I think the way they were created (failed human transmutation) was thought-provoking and really resonated deeply with the theme of forbidden sin. I also appreciate that they had stories of their own, and weren't your stereotypical 2-dimensional baddies. It wasn't all black and white and spelled out for you. There were gray areas, and situations where you really had to think before flat-out judging them.

So yeah. (I will cling to BOTH animes until the day I die, no matter how much either one is bashed. SO SUE ME.) =P

I really like many of the humunculi either way,but many of them I loved in the manga/brotherhood..but some like Sloth I preferred the first anime Sloth..but overall I think I prefer them in the manga and brotherhood.

GO BROTHERHOOD!!!!

They have more depth to them.

I like how they were created, it seems more interesting than having them created from a guy.

FMA (original)

Their story is much better.

I loved both. Honestly neither version were they your " steryotypical anime villains" in my opinion. I mean they seemed pretty well developed in both. at least most of them
