I think it's largely generational. Some kids watching FMA probably weren't around for FY. Also, the newer the show sometimes the fresher the wound.
And can I admit something? I mean, this is so dumb, because, you know, I've watched the whole of every FY thing like 6 times, plus the manga of course, and I was SUPER MEGA OMG OBSESSED with it, but I kind of... forgot they died. I mean, of course if I thought about it, I'd remember, but like.. I know what happened after so at first I was like, "Wait, Nuriko died...? OMG WTF BRAIN!?" (It's kind of like knowing the Senshi die, because you know they come back to life with the moon crystal? I DON'T KNOW, I'M STUPID, LEAVE ME ALONE.)
Also? FMA ... yeah, that's a big ACK. (But is it EVER easy when characters you like die? I mean, it's always sad.)
I was vaguely and semi-thinking of Grave of the Fireflies (among other things) when I posted my comment above to W_10_00. I didn't mention it specifically though because I haven't seen it myself. And I won't watch it either. I have movies I know will be kind of sad, and I'm prepared for those, but not Grave of the Fireflies.
