I'm sure there are a lot of smaller things that may make it worth reading the manga from the start but I'm at chapter 48 at the moment and I just want to read the rest of it now. So no backtracking for me, full speed ahead towards awesomeness.

But they are on about same level imo, I guess Sentenal could give you a better idea though. Like Elem said, if you've already seen EVOL and want some more, you can look into the prequel. EVOL takes place 12000 years after the first series. If you haven't seen EVOL yet, you don't have to unless you have a lot of time on your hands to 1. find somewhere to download the first season, and 2. spend the time to watch all 26 episodes of it. If you have time, then by all means go and watch the prequel before EVOL. There are some references to the first series, but nothing big until the last few episodes of EVOL. None of it requires you to have watched the first one. You'll just get more enjoyment out of the references, whereas those that didn't, won't think anything of it. | ||

About the Genesis and EVOL talk: Should you watch Genesis before EVOL? Yes. Production order is the intended watching order. The makers of the show intended for you to watch Genesis first, and then EVOL. Not to mention, EVOL is a sequel, and events in Genesis directly affect EVOL's plot. Now, do you need to watch Genesis before EVOL? No, not really. EVOL can be enjoyed fine without having watched Genesis. In fact, other than me, only maybe 1 or 2 other people in this entire thread has legitimately watched Genesis, yet plenty of people here have been watching EVOL just fine. The connection is there, but due to the time frame between them, the events of the first series are more or less treated as a legend/myth, with more direct connections surfacing later. EVOL is alot better than Genesis, but I still enjoyed it. Its up to you. | ||

I thought Brotherhood was just wrecking everything I liked about the original one. :/ If you really want to watch it, don't do it immediately after either.  Watch something else.I have to agree with you. I was so into the original series and going into Brotherhood I had high hopes. It was a bit of a let down for me. I love getting more story, but it just slowly killed what I loved so much about the original. | ||

As I said before, I found Brotherhood to be better. To each his own, I guess. You won't know if you don't try it though. | ||

Both go in really different directions, so its not like one is a replacement for the other. I say that if you liked the original, and just recently watched it, take a break for a while, and then watch Brotherhood in like half a year or something. Treat them independently and form your own conclusion. | ||

Think I won't watch Brotherhood then :p depends... first is "grimdarker" lol, but the ending was not satisfying for me, second series is less of a mindfuck, but epic as hell (big fights, more badass characters) i like the second one more, because its the series the original author had in mind, very much like hellsing ultimate vs hellsing <.< | ||
