Comments:
A good series for those who want some family bonding sessions. It will also please anyone who watches it with its sheer storyline. One of the best Anime i have seen. It revolves around the story of two brothers , which me and my brother really liked, and how these two faced difficulties and problems to reach their goals. it also features friendship, loyalty, traitors, drama and action which is nicely wrapped with genuine goodness!

Watch FMA, I recommend it! i also recommend it's full length movie which closes the FMA series nicely.



Animation: 10/10
Storyline: 10/10
Sound: 10/10 (Check the opening and Ending songs! it rocks!)

Overall: 10/10   need i say more?

so check this one out. It will be worth your time and money.

i seriously just got done watching this anime as well and i dont think its ment for all ages as tiptoes stated previously above and it depends on theyre age... but i do give a 10/10 rating for this type of genre of anime for its creativity and knowledgeable sequences on how to obtain certain items and things throughout theyre homeland.....its a great anime if theyre interested in magic/fantasy action type of anime!!!!! oh and JBL do u have a link u can post for the movie for FMA????or where to get it at
if so that would be much greatful and helpful!!!

Yeah, I definitely didn't want to knock on the series, 'cause it's definitely one of my favorites. It's actually one of the few animes shown in America where a 14-year-old boy actually ACTS like a 14-year-old boy, you know? I mean, you don't have barely-teen Gundam pilots acting like adults because of the huge weight of responsibility. They just deal with it as best they know how. I really admire the show. Hope I didn't send mixed signals. 

Really good series.

And I believe the Equivalent Trade.

Yaaay! I simply adore FMA! Definitely in my top 5 for anime (it's really what more or less got me truly addicted to anime) I'm so happy that you gave it such a great review.

Who hear has clapped their hands/ drawn a circle to try and transmute something? I know I've done it a few times 

I'm 85% sure it's german. Though it could be something else along those lines too... (Russian? Romanian?)

I watched this series years ago and I still like it to this day. Just everything makes sense about the Anime. The Equivalent exchange, Movie Spoiler The brothers trials, and heartache, the adventure, the alchemy, the awesome plot, the emotions, the amazing ending. The great intro and ending songs. Everything about this Anime totally made me wanting to watch more EPIC Anime just like this one. 100/100, 5 Stars, etc. etc.

Seriously, Watch the Movie, it will make your jaw drop, you don't know what your missing out on until you've seen it!

i really liked this show. I just didn't really like the ending : / but i did find it interesting that in the ending

I remember the time that this anime was very popular at my school... I used to hear about it everyday...
