The Fullmetal Alchemist watch order gathers both anime continuities — the 51-episode 2003 series and the 64-episode Brotherhood retelling — along with two films and nine OVAs. Start with Episodes 1-51 of the original series, follow it with The Conqueror of Shamballa movie, then its run of shorts: the Chibi Party, Kids, Live Action, Alchemists vs. Homunculi and Reflections OVAs. Brotherhood then begins with Episodes 1-20, with The Blind Alchemist OVA before Episodes 21-37, Simple People before Episodes 38-53, and Tales of the Master before Episodes 54-64. The Yet Another Man's Battlefield OVA and The Sacred Star of Milos movie close things out. Many viewers watch only Brotherhood, which follows the manga in full, but this is the complete order including all movies and OVAs, showing where each short fits and where to start in either continuity.
