Same opinion. I guess it's because they have different goals, and I'm guessing FMA BH has the assumption that a large majority of audience are already familiar with the series and the 1st anime. The early introduction of multiple characters and rushed start though, makes it hard to treat it like a true reboot.

S&W otoh feels like a true reboot, and I enjoy being properly reacquainted with the series, every second of it. The reprisal of the original VAs in their roles is also a bonus for me.
