Dante is the worst thing, the fact that she wasn't even being revealed to be evil up until when she was in Lyra's body, and even then it came across to me as if Lyra killed Dante and is the true villain rather than Dante herself, had you weren't told about Dante possessed Lyra. And then, it's quite pointless to shown Dante's elder form if it was only there to be tossed out anyway. The 2003 series is a massive filler.

And the ending. Oh Truth, I can't stand the ending. Suddenly a bittersweet ending from nowhere, and then the 2003 anime fans rave about it as if it make the 2003 series better. Actually, the 2003 series wasn't even supposed to exist. Say what you will about the 2003 anime (I personally like it just as much as the manga and Brotherhood), but it's better done than a lot of anime adaptations of manga that are still ongoing. Apparently the woman that wrote the manga specifically told the team behind the 2003 anime to make it different from the manga because the mangal still had a long way to go at that point and it wouldn't have been possible to do a faithful adaptation. Whatever, that's your opinion. Also I'm fully aware that Hiromu request a different ending.

Overall I still don't see the 2003 anime good.
