Remake is ongoing. The main story is 17 volumes and the remake season 1 covers the first 5. Season 2 is scheduled for next year.

The original series wrote itself into a corner by skipping volume 4 which included events crucial to later in the story, and it also covered up to volume 5, so you don't have to watch it.

    True, but its more complicated to recommend like that. And I found the pacing of the original to be too slow for my liking. I agree that Brotherhood rushes through those first stories too fast, and skips two arcs that matter for no reason, but the original was slow and boring, even if it told the stories properly.

    So you want an adventure anime with chill travel vibes and maybe some action, but not focused on action.

    1. Fullmetal Alchemist is the original GOAT of Adventure anime if you've not seen it already. Watch Brotherhood, not the original.
    2. Spice and Wolf gives similar chill vibes following a merchant and wolf god companion. Watch the 2024 remake.
