** The carbon fiber in the cold-weather automail is something that shouldn't be within the technological capabilities of a roughly 20s-era civilization. A lot of the Briggs-developed tech falls into this as well. The tank, for example, is of a design that does not look like anything we had in the 20s but resembles post-[[WW 2]] tanks. On the other hand, despite their mechanical advancements there do not appear to be any sort of aircraft.

** A number of said shippers were also put off when the ''Brotherhood'' anime watered down some of the [[Ship Tease]]. Winry teasing Al about missing May when she initially had to leave was cut, and Roy and Riza's [[Battle Couple]] moment near the finale was changed from Roy and Riza leaning on each other as Riza directed Roy's attacks to Riza just standing behind Roy giving directions.

This is [[Truth in Television]] for people in the real world who have metal body parts. Ed suffers the symptoms to a greater extent than most because almost half his entire body is metal, but the nature of the suffering is very accurate.

Also, the snapping sound he makes is the gases reacting, not the sound of him actually snapping his fingers.
