Fullmetal Alchemist (anime)/Ho Yay


 * Throughout the 2003 anime adaptation, Alphonse Elric and Scar share some moments that could be interpreted as Ho Yay, such as Alphonse asking Scar how he feels about him in episode 24 and And if that's not enough, the seiyuu are aware of it, too.
 * Not to mention Roy Mustang and Edward Elric in the movie. Mustang lives in almost total seclusion until Ed shows up again, then they both totally ignore their former love interests to see and fight alongside one another again.
 * Not just the movie: The only time Mustang blushes in the original series-- that's right, Mustang blushes-- was at the beginning of ep 44, after Ed and Al high-tail it out of Lior. Roy delivers a very... revealing line about his relationship to the Elrics, after which Ed gets a reaction shot where his eyes go wide and then he smirks slightly, and then Roy seems to realize what he just said.
 * End of ep. 48 is also a bit shippy, though frankly this trooper can't tell if it's promoting Roy/Ed, Roy/Maes, or Elricest. Roy and Ed talk about how they're sacrificing everything they've earned in the name of Hughes and Al (respectively), but there's an overwhelming sense of It Has Been an Honor and Roy finally seeing Ed as not a child whose innocence he wants to protect as much as possible, but as an equal. Likewise, Ed sees the Roy behind the "Bastard Colnel" facade. They both admit they're Not So Different, and this trooper does think it's telling that this moment comes at their last possible meeting, when they both know they might be going to their deaths.
 * Ed certainly spends a lot of time thinking about Roy's "cocky smile" and "witty remarks" in the anime. "I can just see his smug face now..." We know you can, dear.
 * Vic/Ed saying "Roy Mustang is dead sexy...in a miniskirt!"
 * Winry, Scheska. Good god, they wander the world together, have romantic strolls along riverbanks at sunset, and have the Senstive Gal and Manly Woman thing going on, and basically ignore what love interests they have to spend all their time together.
 * Also, Winry and Paninya, in both the first anime and original manga/Brotherhood.
 * Don't forget the extent that Ed and Al go to protect and just stay with each other.
 * In the anime Ed "has something he's been meaning to tell Al for a long time" but didn't because he was "afraid of how he would react". Love confession!
 * In the English dub Al saying that he doesn't remember what Ed's skin feels like.
 * Dante seems to be flirting with Rose in episode 49; calling Rose "exquisite" as she runs her fingers along Rose's neck.
