Fullmetal Alchemist

Vatanui AKA Pride · 09-05-2012, 06:33 PM

I'll be honest, I don't think I've ever seen or read a manga that is as close to perfect as this one was.

joon61 · 09-05-2012, 07:36 PM

They should make more anime with the characters as humans.
Watch code geass and guilty crown.

The thought Arakawa put into the Hommunculi and their demise was out of this world.

One of the greatest animes IMO. The story was gripping and interesting, The characters were wonderfully developed, and the premise behind the enemies,life, and alchemy in general. not to mention a beautiful ending

Especially the deaths, and how ironic each of them were - Gluttony himself being eaten, Envy killing itself out of jealousy and self-hatred, or Pride being stripped of his arrogance as a humonculi and gaining humbleness as the very creature that he had once called 'inferior'.

The callbacks get even more interesting once you've read Dante's Inferno. Some of the punishments received in Hell there are paralleled to specific moments in the manga. In Dante's Hell, the envious have their eyes repeatedly sewn shut and then burned, which in Envy's case was when Mustang was boiling his eyes out with his flames. Another foremost example would be King Bradley/Wrath, who's hands are both amputated by the time of his death. This is yet another reference to Dante, who stated that in Hell, "the wrathful will have their limbs ripped off the body."

I'm not too sure about Guilty Crown, but Code Geass was amazing.

joon61 · 09-06-2012, 03:58 AM

code geass is better but guilty crown has better music and art.
They are kind of the same but code geass is longer.

This was an amazing manga

BMC1994 · 09-06-2012, 07:58 AM

I thought the 2003 version already was good

then i saw brotherhood

Spoiler:

Really Brotherhood is THE best written anime i have ever seen.

It makes naruto and bleach look like baby puke.

I couldn't get too into FMA. At all. It was just okay to me.

Akatsuki Gord · 09-06-2012, 01:35 PM

FMA:BH is one of the best animes ever

Bacon · 09-06-2012, 01:38 PM

I loved fma :3

Ohako · 09-06-2012, 02:32 PM

FMA is a great series. I usually watch all my anime in japanese, but at my last anime convention i was able to meet the whole english cast of FMA, which I gotta say was really cool.

Blasphemy!

Devroux · 09-06-2012, 10:03 PM

I do have to say though, I really liked the ending of Brotherhood.

sagemaster777 · 09-06-2012, 10:31 PM

Get out dev, FMA WAS A GLORIOUS GIFT FROM GOD.

Both the manga and the anime(both versions)

Arum · 09-10-2012, 04:49 PM

Yesss! I love FMA. It's the only manga series I have all of the volumes to and it's probably the best series I own so far~ ^^

Twilit Lion (Leo) · 09-10-2012, 06:30 PM

I have one thing to say about this. I've been to The Gate, I've seen The Truth!!!
