A similar feel of mystery and fighting for your goals...
Similar things...
physical body of the main character,
plot line about battlefield,
the structure of good vs evil.
Despite having very different goals, both manga have some similarities. Such as the physical similarities between Ed and Allen as well as the running theme of Good vs Evil. However, D.Gray-man has a "religious" aspect in the manga, while FMA was based upon science and alchemy.
I think that the main characters are pretty similar and story too. Even if Allen is calm and Ed little angry, they seems to be similar. When I was reading D.Gray-man I sometimes thought that I was reading FMA @____@
D.Gray-man has a very similar "feel" to Fullmetal Alchemist, especially as the series progresses. They're both really well done stories full of badass characters.
Both are about travelling and the two main characters are both called bean sprout. There is HEAPS of action in both and both have a millitary-like group in it.
The Main Character (Allen/Ed) feel the same about their comrades, act similar and the Plot is almost the same - Searching for something very important.
Also, the humour is very similar for example when Kanda calls Allen a beansprout and the people in FMA call Ed Shortie and both react a bit... unfriendly ^-^
In many ways Allen Walker, the main character of D.Gray-Man, and Edward Elric, one of the main characters of Fullmetal Alchemist are similar. To the way they try to protect everyone around them even when it means sacrificing themselves, having a weapon for a arm. Both series have similar enemies as well. The antagonist(s) of each series has a grudge against mankind and they believe its their duty to destroy it.
Both of these manga are have a lot of humor in them, but the central plot is more on the sad side. The main characters of both FMA and DGM have some kind of issue with one of their arms, and both series involve rather supernatural things. Each also has a plethora of characters, including "the annoying (but awesome) higher up" and "the 'evil' teacher."
Overall, both DGM and FMA are great series, and should definitely be on everyone's Must Read List.

Another work by Hiromu Arakawa. Similar characters, such as the easily angered protagonists Taitou Shirei of Jyuushin Enbu and Edward Elric of Fullmetal Alchemist.

Pandora is abit similar to FMA, Ed is a person who as a child had his father leave him , while in Pandora hearts, Oz's father abandons him and though they are entirely for different reasons, it still has the aspects of their father's being a mystery. Both FMA and Pandora hearts have deep plots such as Homunculus being mysterious group that have unknown intentions, while in Pandora hearts, the Baskervilles are a family whose leader is unknown and their intentions also unknown. They both contain fights which explore characters,different abilities as well as the theme of immature main characters who start growing out of it.

Similar villians in that they both want to be nearly immortal.
|
|
|
Both are works by Arakawa Hiromu, and both tend to play around with pre-existing concepts and notions.

Dogs of an organisation. Working with them yet not trusting each other, both manga titles give you that feeling. If you like one, you'll find yourself liking the other.

Philosophical pieces; Both deal with the meaning of humanity, in FMA through the idea of a soul trapped in a suit of armor, and in ES with clones. Both main characters wander through a world that is corrupt and filled with layered characters, and romances that are not based on romance, but mutual respect and partnership. The manga may not seem to connect on the surface, but I have found that the moral decisions that the characters grapple with are similar despite the context.

same author Hiromu Arakawa's first job and the one that set the path fo FMA
|
|
|
Same writer and style, it mix the funny with the bizarre in someways.
|
|
|
SHounen, both have a good splash of comedy mixed in with the seriousness of it as well as action sequences that are all different, complex, yet easily understandable. They all hold that rheum of fantasy. And I just find that people who liked DBZ typically like FMA as well.

Both protagonists have lost their parents and have to deal with life by themselves and are both set in different worlds than our own. They just really remind me of each other.

|
|
Story lines aren't quite the same but they have the same feel and both have similar gory images.
