Its definitely better than Code Geass, violet evergarden and Tokyo ghoul √A

These are weird shows to compare it to. Code Geass has an abysmal second season, RootA is straight up bad and Violet Evergarden is just a totally different type of show altogether.

thats what i was thinking

So I'm 20 episode in and i don't get why it's the number 1. I  obviously don't wanna judge yet since i still have 44 episodes to watch, and i am definitly not gonna drop it. But i simply want to know when this gets really good

The reason why the show is number 1 is because it has a massive fanbase. To be fair, anyone can find something to love about this show. The show won’t get much better. The ending will slap, but don’t expect it to be Code Geass R2 level. The show is amazing when you look at the whole picture after you watch it.

No one can make you develop taste, bro. If you can't grasp why this show is so highly rated, I'd recommend you stick to your mid faves

complete it first then make this thread

It wouldn’t make sense to make this thread after he finishes fmab.

If you're actually serious and not trolling then you should probably drop the show if you dont like it by now.
It took a while for me to get hooked too but episode 19 did it for me, since you've already seen it I dont think there is much hope for you :D
But to answer your question: Yes it does get a lot better, at around episode 40 every episode is a 9/10 or higher for me and the last 10-15 episodes and the finale are a 10/10 imo

Why would he be trolling?

Nah. It's just your average shounen, the anime is very overrated.

I don't know why it's 1 but it does and I rate it 8/10

Because every other anime that surpasses FMAB in ranking gets review bomb by the remaining die hard fans...

I mean if what you consider good is one piece, then it will never get better since ed will never fight cliched boring big bad and will never spouting non stop about being a king of something.

Guess what you gave bleach a 10 and say this

Wow what a suprise! I never expect bleach get a 10 from me! Very mind blowing!

I think the main increase in quality begins after the first 10 or so episodes, but I think the series really peaks at the end of part 4 / beginning of part 5

Yes 100%. Even though where you’re at can be somewhat dull it becomes amazing!

so, FMAB is number one mostly because of the fan base here in MAL, I don't find it the best anime out there but I gotta say it is pretty good. So for me my experience was kind of similar, I didn't feel the hype for the first episodes but when Ling and Lan Fan appear it starts to get good

I really liked the first 1-30 episode, and it felt seriously boring and dragged in 40-50 episode maybe.. And when they started discussing philosophy and stuff and when the final episode arrived, I loved it. So It was boring for me at the middle. But still I loved it and gave it 10/10.

Don't wait for an anime to "get good". If you're that far in, just drop it.

It's not because this is really good or something that it is at the top, don't take ratings of this site seriously.

I know it doesn't get any better but it won't get worst either it becomes more like typical shounen.

If you haven't dropped down since the first second of the first minute of the first episode headfirst on your knees worshiping and kissing the ground with tears in your eyes thanking god for giving you the chance to be born in this time and place in order to experience this absolute masterpiece, then I don't know what else to tell you.

personally, i enjoyed the show a lot. I think the characters are well developed, i like the villans and not alot of troupes. this show made me feel litterly every emotion. Anger, sadness, anxiety, joy, thats what i personally look for in an anime.

not to mention it didnt fall under the catagory of bad ending.

it does get slow though at times. so i would definitely consider this a bit of a slow burn, but its worth it.

not a 10/10 but its definitely high ranking in my opinion

It depends.

If you're watching due to fans who sell FMAB as the peak of humanity creation, then no.

If you're watching for a fine story and acceptable characters, then yes.

Bro every single day someone comes on MAL claiming to hate FMAB and I honestly just can't see why people are so desperate to be different.

it gets better imo. the bad thing about fmab is that it skips a lot in the beginnig because it assumes you've seen fma03 - or read the manga. it can be more difficult to connect with the characters and the plot if you've not seen fma03

Heres your mistake. Taking the ratings on MAL seriously. Theres some mentally ill people using bots and brigading their favorite shows all the time. Just look at last season.
