Reboots, in anime, seem to either fail epically or be a great success.
Look at the original "Fullmetal Alchemist" anime - it's fair to say that the whole series didn't follow the canon of the manga storyline, right? (Please, any corrections are accepted and encouraged - I'm still learning! ^_^) And, I will say that the series, in its own right, is pretty damn good. But, it's one caviat is that, the second half of the series it didn't follow the main canon storyline. Then came "FMA: Brotherhood", which told the story through its main canon, and done so in a very good manner. (Side note: I'm a big EdWin shipper!) (Second side note: Alanna - Himechan - consider making a section in anime/manga about shipping)
However, not every reboot (at least, in my opinion) works wonders. Growing up in the "Toonami Era," I loved watching DragonBall Z every weeknight. It was the highlight of my day, and I loved every minute of it. Given that I was 7 years old, at the time, I didn't care or think about "filler", and I thoroughly enjoyed the filler episodes, albeit I was young and didn't know about filler. Then came DBZ Kai, labeled as "all action, no filler," and presented as a fast-paced version re-do of the series. I didn't like it. Others do, though, and, hey, they have the right to, it's their choice.
These are just my opinions; let me know what you all think!

my friend told me to wait till episode 13 and the story changes I have to agree with him I recently was watching Bleach and I saw one of the later episodes with greed and pride(Wrath)and I decided to buy all the box sets and I ended up liking the show but there is no real need for 1-13 if you saw FMA
