I can't watch shounen anime anymore. It's just constant Deja Vu.
Fist of the North Star, YuYu Hakusho and DBZ were enough.
If you think that is the extent of shonen anime then you are truly missing out.

I don't know much about Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, but my impression was that it was a remake of the original? That's the reason I never bothered with it, since I'd watched the complete original (and have all those on DVD.) I didn't really want to rehash the original, but if that's not what it is, I might give it a go.
Not at all. FMA:B is the original, really. It follows the manga, whereas FMA was its own story with the same world and characters. Both are great but I think B is much better. The first 12 eps (I think it's that many) might just seem like FMA but rushed more because it covers stuff that happens up to like halways through FMA in just those 12 eps, but after that the story splits off and is waaayy different to FMA.
It's definitely worth watching it all.
I watched most of Attack on Titan and liked it, but became distracted and never finished it.
Same with Bleach and Fairy Tail. I began watching the former when it first appeared on Netflix, years ago, but I think not every season was on it, some episodes were skipped, and I ended up simply giving up on it.
I watched a few episodes of Black Butler and Magi, but never really got into them, for whatever reason. A host of other series fall into this category for me. I have all of Cowboy Bebop on DVD but only got through a few episodes; I'll restart it sometime I think. So many others I've watched and don't remember well.

I've never watched DBZ or Naruto Shippuden
I tend away from mecha anime, more toward straight-up fantasy or contemporary fantasy. I subscribe to Crunchyroll and have access to so many titles—but as I said, I've not enough time to explore everything. I'm waiting for a new manic anime mood to strike me.
If you haven't watched Hunter X Hunter, I'd recommend it. The first three story arcs are excellent, and the third, which is by far the longest, was a shocker due to its depth and quality from a world-building fantasy and storytelling perspective.
And no offense but Inuyasha is for chicks.
I stand by my opinion of Inuyasha. He's about as likable a protagonist as Yusuke in YuYu Hakusho.
Really? I mean, it is an older show now, but I still think the art holds up quite well. What is it that turns you off about it?
Good question. I'm not sure exactly. But probably around 7 years ago? In my mid 20s.
