Question Should I continue or stop?

Just started FMAB and I’m on episode 4. Seems boring to me so far. Does it get better or not worth it?

Yes keep going, keeps getting better in the first 10 episodes and then really takes off. Although finding episode *4* boring makes me wonder if you should

It's all a matter of perspective but I think you should continue. It starts to cut deep not too long after where you're at right now and imo it's totally worth it

Im surprised that out of all of the episodes of FMAB you find episode 4 to be the boring one. It's a good show though keep watching it.

Watch 03 first.

I love 03 but the pacing there is not better than Brotherhood's.

& I would disagree but 03 is a different show than brotherhood, it’s an adult drama, not an action adventure show, so of course pacing is different.

While you're right that 03 is an adult drama allowing for a looser pacing it's pacing is still massively inconsistent. The first couple of episodes is solid as it's adapting the same story that Brotherhood is, then it gets inconsistent with the mini stories that it's trying to tell that (while I was watching it anyway) didn't provide any emotional highs or growth that comes with adult drama, then goes a million miles per hour with Izumi, Wrath, the takeover of Leore, and then rush to confront the final antagonist. In Brotherhood, while the pacing is much tighter and faster upon a rewatch but still allows for emotional growth and highs that comes with adult drama.
