PateKing said: I want to clarify that this is not a toxicity post. This is a healthy discussion post that I would appreciate if you could provide arguments on what you think of FMAB. If you come to throw shit I ask you to refrain from posting here. Thank you very much ^^ I just want make things clear firstly it's easily one of the best Shonen anime with a great Shonen protagonist. It's really one of those shows which literally had almost no flaws but the people says it's comedy ruined serious moments so I don't think because mainly every classic Shonen done same things and people like it in those series but here people just give it as excuse to simply deny the greatness of this show . Also it's really deserves first spot on this list that's not a wrong thing but if a series done better and took the first position then we all know what happens so the problem is actually fanbase not with a series . -A simple GINTAMA FAN |
| Shouldn't you be reading the reviews if u want to know what others think of this anime....making a thread of it is kinda useless... |
 Yeah, the world would be dark without Light... but without L, the world would just be a Word... |

When it comes FMA:B fanboys themselves will accept it. There will be series come with a huge fandom and dethrone fmab permanently. |
| A lot of people rate FMAB the number one Anime and of course it's a great show, but honestly I also feel it's a tid bit overrated. Like I have seen better, but no offense to the fma fandom. Love to all :) |

| I think FMAB is great anime and i love it. But I also think that FMAB fandom Is this 1st the worst fandom in the world animanga community. |
| Childish shonens aren't for me but I do like Scar before he 180ed out of nowhere and became cringe and they did a great job making the military important to the story and not just a plot device for the bad guys to kick around while waiting for the good guys to show up. Everything else is crap though 3/10 |
| I really loved this anime and enjoyed each and every bit of it |
| I would rate it a 6/7. In short, it's too childish relative to its peers. In a bit more detail, the beginning of the anime was cheerful: an interesting arc about a father turning his daughter into a chimera, an interesting Hughes arc, the fanatical Scar looked like a serious opponent, Al's doubts about whether he was even Ed's brother drew a kind of conflict. But that all quickly faded into oblivion. Mustang arc lasted the longest but it too eventually merged with the general outrage. The author for some reason excluded a sense of threat and any tension. The viewer is bluntly told that the main characters need the archvillain alive, which gives them a powerful plot armor and the regular deus ex plot twists completely kill any worry about them. But what spoils the narrative the most is the humor. It's often misplaced, and in places it ruins the drama - an obvious flaw. Its frequency and chibi-style sometimes turn entire dramatic scenes into a farce. And some characters, like Armstrong or Mei-chan, destroy the drama by the mere fact of their existence. But the music is great. |
| Interesting world-building. Some cool moments. Great music. Pretty good first couple episodes and the last about 15 episodes. Very boring characters, I could not get attached to any of them. Pure boring 40ish episodes before it got better...the only reason I didn't drop it was that people said it gets better near the end. Forced, unfunny comedy. Also very forgettable, I can barely remember it now even though I didn't watch it that long ago. Not the best anime ever, far from it (in my opinion). |

| It's really good but a bit overrated, the first 20 episodes felt quite boring for me, (which is a lot, a bit too much considering the numbers of the episode the anime have), so 1 third of the anime is not that good, so if you endure the firsts episodes the anime become interesting and more enjoyable |
tanktoptiger345 said: arshiapolygons2 said: very good, but still overrated. i can sit here and nitpick all day, but that sounds like a un-convincing waste of time. and i want this to be something that even fmab fans can see my points. so i only talk about my biggest problem. i think that father, is one of the worst main villains i have ever seen, and i am not even being harsh enough by saying that. lets start from his character type, a none human thing with a god complex. it fits well with the themes of the show, but it is a done to death and fairly easy to write concept. if done well it could complement the themes of the show, but there would still be a lot better and original ways of doing it. the concept can work but rarely makes an interesting character. the only example that i can think of that made a great character of this concept was light from death note. so the concept is generic, but that would make the villain, generic, not bad. well the problem is that, fmab ruined that already generic concept in almost every single possible way. so lets go point by point. 1. the origin, fmab has a clear set of rules relating to alchemy and science. well the only thing that breaks those rules is the main villain. they say that he was made from edward's father's blood. that's it. in a story that has literal plot twist around the laws alchemy, you can't just have a talking smarter than human black thing and say "oh yeah its made from human blood". this is a problem. breaking the rules of the world is not a small nitpick it is very important, specially when it is affecting the main villain and story directly. 2. his pride, ok so he has left the pride out of his buddy just like the other 6 sins huh? so, how tf was his downfall underestimating humans. that is literally just having pride with a skin. his personality almost has no connection to the other sins true, but pride is 80% of his god damn character. if anything he had less pride in the backstory, WHICH WAS BEFORE HE GOT RID OF HIS PRIDE! 3. he is just so stupid. he is meant to be smarter than humans. even with his already plot hole infested character ark, he should have lost, by underestimating humans. the show wants you to think that's what happened. and it was almost the case. but that's only until the fight after he lost most his power. he could have recovered. he could have ran away, he could have started over. that would be smart. but even if he 100% needed to fight. why would he waste his limited power, on massive explosions that hit like 2 people and making zombie people? you might say it was because he was too angry to think straight. but that would still be a problem because he should't have wrath. and don't let me even begin on that last fight. fathers stupidity was only half the problem with that fight. that shit was one of the most plot convenient things i had ever seen in any anime. how does no one see the scene where al turns back into ed's arm as a huge problem? i'm not going to go through detail but please just go and watch that episode with a critical view, and just realize how stupid that freaking fight is. i am amazed how many people glance over it just because of how much they like the show. so we have a main villain that is meant to be smart but is stupid. doesn't have the 7 sins but he actually has and breaks the rules of the series with his origin story. that alone should be enough for this series to never be considered a 10/10 masterpiece. but it is still a very solid show that anyone can enjoy. the show is a 8.25 for me. it is good, but if you think its objectively a masterpiece, or the greatest anime of all time. you either haven't watched many anime. or don't want to see that your favorite show is not perfect. that is all. sign polygon2 There is literally no anime without plotholes. I have watched tons of anime and FMA:B is one of the few anime with least number of plotholes. FMA:B totally deserves the number one spot. steins;gate, a silent voice, megalobox, odd taxi, parasyte, are anime without plotholes. saying no anime is without plotholes is honestly the stupidest thing i have heard all weak. a anime without plotholes is not the same as a definitive 10/10. a plothole is like a bug in a video game. you don't have to have the greatest game of all time, for it not to be buggy. but come on you can't tell me you honestly think its impossible to write a story that doesn't have PROBLEMS. and these examples are the ones i found that don't have plotholes, if we're talking about stuff that have less plotholes than fmab, i can name at least 50 things. so i honestly believe you either haven't seen enough good anime, or you're just doing everything you can to say fmab is the best even though its really not. |

| It's good and the animation is impressive. But is far from "the best of all time" |
 |
| Watching it with my brother right now and where on episode 24 and where both enjoying it. In the beginning it was a little meh but watching it more it's starting to get better. |
 |
| It was fine, very overrated, has a toxic fandom. |
| I just think it's a great anime... |
 |
| Outstanding series, very well-written and engaging. Lots of love to it. Personally a top 2 of mine lol |
 |
| One of the bests I’ve ever seen. Top 2 for me |
| I've only read through a few posts on top, but seems like all worthless posts from bots who'd upvote FMAB. Ofc take it with a grain of salt, I didn't check out their pfs, only seeing that this is their first ever forum post and quickly came to the conclusion. Anyway from what I've read, seems like I'm at odds with most people here. 4/10 nope did not enjoy it. Say whatever you want but I'm terribly bored whenever I watch the show. Sure it's been a long time, so a rewatch is required. But if my memory serves me correctly, I'd actually give it a 2. |

| i like it alot. it's entertaining, has symphatic characters, tragic things happen, the story is great and the fights awesome. |
| It's a top tier shounen anime in my book. Includes alchemy, politics, childhood trauma - all things I like watching so it's pretty high up there for me. |
| desu desu binches |
| masterpiece for me |
| Great anime that's overshadowed by its ranking. |
