* [[Fullmetal Alchemist (
** Let's just say Fullmetal Alchemist is one of the best Shonen manga ever and leave it at that.
** This troper does not believe there has yet been enough gushing about FMA. Not only does it include some far-reaching, deep themes and avoid many inane aspects of manga in general, but the premise is very creative, the plot is fantastic, and the characters are believable and likable. They even mature and change throughout the series, which is the mark of a truly talented author. Not to mention, when the [[Big Bad]]'s master plan was unveiled, this troper's mind was blown completely. It's a shounen series, so it's very unlikely that it'll have a [[Downer Ending]], but... when this troper realized the magnitude of the villians' influence and intentions, for a while there, he wondered, just like the characters did: "How can the good guys win? How can they possibly overcome that?" The fact that {{spoiler|not only does victory now seem possible, but the author did it believably instead of shoving in a [[Deus Ex Machina]]}} makes the series even better.
** The [[Fullmetal Alchemist (
*** Love, Love, Love FMA. Definitely one of my all time faves and in my opinion deserving all of the praise it gets. So many awesome, fantastic characters, great story, great art, filled to the brim with badassery, unique concept; I could go on but I think I (and my fellow FMA-lovers) have said enough.
* The [[Fullmetal Alchemist (
** I had kind of avoided the series for a long while (only saw a few minutes of about three episodes, played two of the games which were straight-up average at best), but it's now that I'm finally sitting down and watching the full anime series with a friend. I'm actually quite shocked at how '''good''' it is--I want to give both Elric brothers a big hug, they're quite endearing and adorable protagonists.
** Seconded. I really appreciate that the writers for the show created such an original concept while still staying within the feel of the manga! What I appreciate the most though is how NEARLY EVERY SINGLE EPISODE MATTERED TO THE STORYLINE and that even the filler episodes were more entertaining than most anime series can pull off. I love both series and the manga, but the first anime will always have a special place in my heart.
