not as confusing as the Titans trilogy: Remember the Titans, Clash of the Titans, and Wrath of the Titans.
And the even more confusing TV adaptation, Attack on Titan

don't forget about the game adaptation, Crash of the Titans
I thought that was Titanfall?
I think the timeline goes Titanfall -> Crash of the Titans -> Titanfall 2
Where's titans fit in?
What, Teen Titans the cartoon adaptation or Titans, the CW spinoff of the cartoon adaptation of the titan trilogy?
What about Titanic?
Oh, the film created by a rival studio in order to ride the success of the Titan trilogy?
Largely derivative, but it has its own cult following.
Yes
You got it in the wrong order. It’s supposed to be panic alchemist jacket, it’s telling the story of a nervous chemist who misplaced his jacket
Wouldn't that be alchemist jacket panic?
Absolutely, Alchemist takes place in the early 19th century and sets the stage for Jacket by establishing WWII, which leads to a global arms race that culminates in the US invading Vietnam in Jacket, which sets up the military obsessed themes in Panic. Watching Panic first is doable, but it's a lot easier to understand when you have the baseline story set up by the other two
There was a noncanonical alternate version of Alchemist called Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood which explores a sort of alternate history where WWII never happened, and unfortunately it got more popular than the original series, which I think is what really causes the confusion with the watch order
Soundtrack by "Panic! At the Laboratory"
Metal panic has its own trilogy so it gets even more complicated.
Yo but FR the middle one was a great series, thoroughly underrated, unjustly overshadowed by other mecha shows, and had a bangin soundtrack to boot. I even liked the omake fumoffu.
Thats because you are watching them in the wrong order. Panic first, then jacket.
