Second adaptations weren't nearly as common back then, and I think part of the satisfaction with Brotherhood is because the first adaptation didn't land properly at all. It's been ~20 years, but the whole meeting in London, then later Weimer Germany including Hitler struck me as some of the goofiest shit imaginable. To keep with the metaphor, didn't quite stick the landing, looked at the judges, and then decided to make an incredible jump launching themselves headfirst at the ground.

Well as you probably know the manga wasn't finished at the time so they winged it. Badly, as you say. Still, the faithful parts of the original adaption are quite good, music/animation etc. Kino in its own way

Yeah, the original FMA had some very memorable scenes early on, but it jumped the shark more than Hellsing's OVA did, and that one was supposed to include random nazis.
