I recently finished Dungeon Meshi, Ousama Ranking, and lastly Frieren. I am looking for series around that vibe, preferably not Isekais (At least not the modern ones). Thanks in advance for checking this post!

    True, but its more complicated to recommend like that. And I found the pacing of the original to be too slow for my liking. I agree that Brotherhood rushes through those first stories too fast, and skips two arcs that matter for no reason, but the original was slow and boring, even if it told the stories properly.

      I mean, if you can enjoy the pacing of Frieren, you can enjoy the pacing of the original FMA.

      I obviously don’t want to spoil anything for anyone who hasn’t seen it but the rush in Brotherhood robs some crucial plot points of any emotional impact and is lesser for it.

          Just want to say that this is the first time I’ve ever voiced my opinion on Brotherhood without someone jumping on my neck about it, so thank you.

        If you’re talking about the Tucker family that whole thing actually gets even less time in the original original FMA - that is to say, the manga. I think it’s all over in 2 pages or something crazy like that.

          I’m talking more about (huge spoilers)

          spoiler

          Hughes; there’s far less of him in Brotherhood and his discovery of the conspiracy leading to his death all takes place in one episode in Brotherhood where I think it’s something like 3 or 4 in the original. Much more tension to play with that way rather than it being a flash in the pan.
