Rarely there is anime who give special one episode "64" just for make everything obvious, so there is no many question about it. For me this is doesn't mean i can with easy forget this anime but make me admire it so much.

I hope every anime have this kind special last episode for make everything feel right

I had to force myself to finish it, and I was finally able to. The series was a pain to watch. 2nd ranked anime on MAL? Now I see why people don't take MAL's ratings seriously.

Good last episode, horrible generic last episodes, and rushed as fuck first episodes. I just didn't really care about any of the characters. Guess I should've watched the first series first, shouldn't I?

6/10, the animation was the sole reason I gave it a bit more than 5 (Average)

No, FMA is very commonly accepted as one of the best series ever for a loooot of people it isn't just MAL, it is everywere. Saying you dislike this to most people is like saying you dislike Bebop or Trigun, it is generally just accepted as fact that these are the some of the best. Not complaining like, it's your opinion, but if FMA is wrongly placed here than the entire internet is wrong.
The reason people don't take MAL rating seriously is because of Gintama. I have no problem with it being number 1, but Enchosen reaching number 1 before even airing and a four minute OVA being in the top hundred does kind of give the site a bad name with quite a few people.

You shouldn't see Gintama Enchousen as something seperate. Obviously people consider it a part of Gintama as a whole and rate it highly for that reason. After all, all the episodes of Enchousen originate from the normal Gintama.

Ontopic: I had put off watching this series for a long time (years) mainly because i thought that it was probably overhyped. Well I'm happy to say that i was dead wrong.. this was a great show and it has no become one of my all time favorites.

@Candor, normally I am not one to judge others for THEIR opinion as every person is entitled to have one. But i have hard time understanding your reasoning. Sure the anime wasn't perfect but to be honest I have yet to see one that is, which I doubt i ever will. If you have watched this anime then you have seen all the sorrow and pain of the characters as well as the things they love and are willing to give their lives for. You have come to know the main characters and a great deal of sub characters really well also. Yet you say you didn't feel the characters... You also complain about generic episodes towards the end, while the episodes towards the end were arguable the very best of the show...
It's either you have watched a completely different anime altogether or you were never willing to like it to begin with so you have been watching it with a 'closed mind'.
Anyway ill be giving this show a 10 even though it's not perfect, because there are no perfect animes. Yes there were episodes i didn't like much, yes there were times i was actually BORED watching (just once though) but if i look back I am really satisfied overall and think this is among the best ones I have seen.

One more thing... MUSTAng has grown a MUSTAche? lmao looks like he is ready to succeed King Bradley as the Fuhrer!

This show is definitely going to be a favorite to me!!
The last episode filled a bit of my empty insides.. Though still feeling empty from ending an amazing anime.

I was sad to see that Edward had to lose his ability to use alchemy, and he got taller! Not a chibi anymore. Love that shy face too~ ><
Also, I wanted to see Al in his real body while being healthy and finally got to see him.

Mustang mustache!! LOL. =D

I enjoyed the series quite a bit. 10/10 ^_^

Being the closet romantic that I am, I loved the scene with Winry and Ed at the end. Lame I know...

I enjoyed the little "where are they now" montage at the end although the Mustang mustache was kinda creepy...Love that pic at the end With Ed and Winry married, the little kiddies, Al, Mei, Paninya, and Garfiel. Very cute.

I'm one of the few who think the end wasn't great. That is to say - stirring obviously was. But I have felt unsatisfied, because... Look, Ed lost his alchemy, the main point of his life and something for what he had worked all the time.I think he should have let his father to devote himself. Because why not? Every parent would be proud for saving his child's life. And he so died soon.

"Every parent would be proud for saving his child's life" ...that's right ..but do you really think that everyone have a courage to sacrifice there parent's to achieve something ? even it is for good purposes?..everyone know that ..that is not the right choice that's why Ed think another way...

Honestly spoken, this is probably the best anime I've ever seen and definitely one of my favourites. This show kept up my interest for every single episode over its 64 episode lifespan and they were all really amazing. And this paired with a beautiful ending like we got it this episode is something one can only dream of.

The only thing I miss is an Ed x Winry kiss (maybe paired with their wedding?), though it's really nice to see them with their children. :3 It's really rare to see the future of an anime couple so it makes me really happy. :)
And a Roy x Riza scene would have been really nice.. and what is with Roy's moustache in the ending? xD That looks really stupid on him. :P

10/10 though this is probably too low if I consider my normal rating scheme. :/

Well this concludes one of the best anime I've seen yet, and the best shounen I've ever watched and I doubt it will ever get beat. For me episode 60 was the most epic episode of this anime and the last 5 minutes gave me goosebumps. The death of Hoh had me teary eyed with a smile on my face, and the picture board at the end was a fitting ending to a great anime.

Even though the whole series didn't live up to my expectations, I think overall story progression was amazing. It's not surprising why this is the top 1 anime here :) 10/10

I also feel dissatisfied, i just want more :(
Also , first 26 episodes , were the best for me :( the more the series progressed , the less the epic emotions were for me :(

Edit : Lots of questions were unanswered too :/

1.Al went to the east to study alchemy and Ed to the West, does that mean that Ed learned alchemy while he traveled ?

2.Scar never had a trial, had he ?

3. What exactly did Lin do with the philosopher's stone ? Did any1 gain immortality or what?

4. Wasn't Lin supposed to gain the Emperor's favouritism ? Then why did he become an Emperor... ?

5. Ed was saying during the series, that he will beat up the truth guy , but he never did so ... -.-

6 Did the rank " state alchemist " continue to exist after the destruction of the Homunculus?

7. What happened to Izumi Curtis after the series ?

8. Did Riza and Mustang get married or something ?

9. General anime question now, why don't the characters never kiss ? :D

Finnaly I completed it. It took me exacly one week to finish it.

1st place at MAL? Im not satisfied I expected a bit more. I wont bother me to post pros, I will post cons that influenced my score.

- openings and endings were rather shity and dont matched to the action (openings and endings are very important to me)
- poor music
- sometimes characters was acting strange
- I wanted to see more relations betwen some characters
- too long ending 2 days of action took about 15 episodes

Comparing it to my other fav animes I cant give it 10, Im balancing at 7-8 but let it be 8/10.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell... it's finally over.

Starting with the series as a whole, the villains and the conflict ended terribly, only one villain was done justice.
Roy and Havoc's resolutions were convenient as well, but I can't complain; I liked them.

Neo-Selim's part was nice as well, Grumman's too, but I wish we got one final scene for Ling in Xing and for Alex as well.

The solution to Ed and Al's leg problem was unsatisfying and too conveniently wrapped up.


However, I really loved this episode. The ending of The Elrics' own personal story with Winry, and their new resolutions for the future were all done perfectly.

And I loved the final line; a heart full-metal. Wow.

5/5 for this episode.

The soundtrack doesn't need any praise, it was amazing.

I was planning on giving this series a 6 judging by last episode, but through this one I was looking back and though I actually enjoyed it more than just "fine" and decided for a 7, and with that perfect ending scene (and episode) I'm going to give this show an

8/10

While it had many moments and episodes that were really disappointing , I'd say it was a great show.

Everything it was reputed to be. 10/10. It would have been nice to actually see the wedding and a kiss between Ed and Winry, or a little bit more development of the other pairings, but it is a shounen after all.

Pretty great series, finale really was missing dat kiss though. Sealing a marriage proposal before a long journey with a hug? C'mon Ed. Great animation, interesting characters and world building, along with a fairly nice pace. Though I may not agree with it personally, I can understand why this series is so highly rated in many people's eyes.

8/10 for me

Also I really hope Riza convinces Roy to shave that stache looks terrible on him

Generally I'm very wary of stuff that gets a lot of hype in MAL (Gintama and Clannad LOL) but I gave FMA Brotherhood a go even though I'm waaay too old for shounen stuff.

I'm glad I did. This is an excellent series, with an excellent story, a great ensemble of characters plus good animation and OST. No copout or lose endings here either, almost all the characters get some resolution to their own stories.

About my only beef with this show is the needless humor/gags that constantly distracted from the mood/action, although I'll admit there were much less of them in the second half of the series.

I'd definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to get into anime.

In a sense, I feel like this episode was unnecessary; yet, at the same time, some of the events it went over were a must. I would have been positively livid had Roy remained blind for the remainder of his life. >_>

So Roy may not be Fuhrer yet after all, but at least he can transmute the cool way now! AND he kept his sight too!

Still, this is a great ending overall. I just wish Hohenheim would've lived a little longer; long enough to see his grandchildren, at least. ;-; But the way he died was just... perfect. I would not have had it any other way.

Also, I was hoping to actually see Xing at some point. A final scene including Ling would, indeed, have been nice.

So far, Brotherhood is my only 10. I strongly disagree with those who are casting aside the 2003 series now that Brotherhood is a thing (because it is amazing as well and does some elements better than Brotherhood), but I am convinced it is (perhaps only marginally) better. I love this series, and I almost kind of want to rewatch it already. >.<

5/5 with the episode and 10/10 with the entire series.
The ending was just very satisfying.
- Mustang uses the Philosopher's Stone in order to work his way up to becoming Fuhrer.
- Scar wishes to stop the hatred that the Ishabalans and to change it from within.
- Ling takes the Philosopher's Stone through his greed but also wishes to help out May's people.
- Alphonse and Edward return home with their bodies!
- Winry realizing they returned and their goal was completed was so emotional and beautiful.
- A few years later, Alphonse decides to East to learn more about alchemy and Ed decides to travel West.
- Ed finally confesses and Winry accepts.
- The orchestra in this episode was spot on as always.
- The ending credits with pictures of how everybody was doing was a great addition.

All of these plot points were just very executed and the music just added with the emotion. It was just an amazing conclusion to an awesome series.

I put off watching this show for so long, because the first series was the first anime I ever watched and it was my favorite, and I didn't want to "ruin" it even though technically, this story came first.

My boyfriend talked me into watching it because he's new to anime and wanted to start with something he knew would be good.

And this show is absolutely amazing. Officially my all time favorite, and now I'm going to be buying both the series and the manga. 10/10, amazing job. So much more satisfying than the original show by far!!
