I live in the US, but there's a lot of media I'd like to watch that isn't available in the US. Piracy is literally my only option, because I'm not given legal ways to consume that content.
Usenet is best net. Learn to use the arrs, Radarr, Sonarr, sabnzbd. Plex/jellyfin, one of many usenet providers like newsgroup ninja. Takes some time to set up, but fully automated once done.
I love both and whenever I'm in a FMA mood I watch them together. The first anime does a fantastic job with things like mood, atmosphere, lightning and music, and throws some interesting ideas and concepts into the the narrative.
To anyone who enjoyed FMA but only watched Brotherhood, please do yourself a favor and watch the '03 anime.
I had been steadily pirating for a while but I kept my satellite package for sports. They recently upped the price by $10 which was enough to finally push me get one of those non sanctioned IPTV subscriptions. I am paying about a tenth of the cost now. I wish I had switched sooner!
In a better world, content would cost the same to all streaming services, all content would be available everywhere, and competition between services would be based on price and quality of service. You'd subscribe to one and get everything.
It should be like music. You can sign up for basically any service (Spotify, YouTube Music, Apple Music, etc) and generally hear any song. It would be ridiculous if each record label or whatever had its own streaming service, so why are TV & movies different?
