The story of the two Elrich brothers, Ed and Al, makes for a truly worthwile anime. There are a few parts that are very hard to watch, as they are sad, but FMA is amazing. The charachters are well-created, compassionate and not afraid to fight for what's right. The story is crisp and well-developed. The anime, although sad in some parts, comes through in the end.

Fullmetal Alchemist, is by far my favourite anime/manga. The characters are strong, opinionated, intelligent and compassionate. The bond between Edward and his younger brother Alphonse is incredibly strong. The series has made me laugh, cry and kept me guessing throughout the storyline. I recommend it to anyone who wants something that will keep you on the edge of your seat. It's also educational (but don't let that turn you off) I'm finally interested in the World Wars and just that little bit more...science.

I have found this to be one of my most favorite anime to watch, other than Samarai Deeper Kyo. I enjoy each character, Edward, Alponse, Winry, Roy Mustang, the list goes on!
I love the angst, the compassion between Edward and Alphonse and their determination to get the Philosopher's stone and return themselves back to their original bodies. I've just recently got into this anime and already I can tell this is a keeper and one to watch over and over again.

Definently my favorite anime/manga series of all time. I've seen all the episodes and the movie so I know what I'm saying when I say it's a completely awesome anime. As for the manga, I've read up to chapter 57. It's REALLY good but I haven't finished yet. NNNNOOOOO!!!!!!!! Why can't I move to Japan and finish the series?! Anyway, it's definently a must-see anime series and a five-star read as well. I'd recommend this to anyone. It's also nice since it's got a variety: action, comedy, and drama. The manga also has hints of romance but not enough to make it a shojo manga.

I have had the pleasure of watching this anime and I must say that it is very good and the loving relationship between the two brother's bring some type of sunshine on the dark brooding deep emotions of the anime. All I can say is Go Elric.

Well said! It's very heartwarming at times, and dark and broody other times but no pair of siblings has been more lovable or cooler than the Elrics. Go, FullMetal!

This is one of my favorite animes. It is angsty and beautifully animated and shows complexity in both storyline and character development. Full of action and drama, Fullmetal Alchemist is a story that shows what two brothers will do for one another, and how far they are willing to go to regain things lost through mistakes of the past.
