What is going on? I don't have the slightest clue! "I just slapped a cow! —Haiku-Style Theme Song (summing up the show with quirky animation to boot)

Nullmetal Alchemist is an Abridged Series based on the 2003 Fullmetal Alchemist anime. Created by Faulerro, the anime is deliberately mimicking the surrealist humor used by fellow abridger Purpleeyeswtf (see None Piece and Code MENT). It can be found here.

There is an unrelated Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood Abridged.

Tropes used in Nullmetal Alchemist include:

• Abridged Series: Of FMA, naturally.
• Alchemy Is Magic: Lampshaded to hell. Ed's insistent on it being called "magic" instead of alchemy and being a "magician" than an alchemist.
• Christmas Episode: Alchemists' Christmas song
• Hey, It's That Voice!:

Rose: Hey, has anyone ever told you you sound like Johnny Yong Bosch? Al: I don't like Johnny Yong Bosch.

• I'm a Humanitarian: After seeing Cornello perform miracles, Edward is impressed by his magic...

Ed: Which is why I must eat him!

• Insistent Terminology: See Alchemy Is Magic.
• Let's Get Dangerous: The start of ep. 4, when Ed must face Majhal:

Ed: ...Al, get my top hat. Al: But you don't have a top hat. Ed: Then I'll make one! Claps hands together, tiny top hat appears Ed: Magic just got real! Cue Dramatic Chord

• Nightmare Fetishist: Edward shows signs of being this at times.

Ed: (upon seeing his revived mother's hideous face) Mom? Oh my God... you're beautiful!

• • And later on, after hearing Al's justification for staying a suit of armor (to be attractive to Winry):

Ed: That's fucked up. (beat) I like it.

• Only Sane Man: Alphonse. Occasionally Edward, when he's not threatening to eat Father Cornello or going in psychotic rants.
  • Riza Hawkeye.
• Rapid-Fire Comedy
• Shout-Out: Al's Johnny Yong Bosch voice and his response - "I don't like Johnny Yong Bosch" - are both references to one of the anniversary videos done by Little Kuriboh. In the video, LK had a puppet that spoke in that same voice - claiming to be JYB - and he would always say "I don't like [thing]".
