Nevertheless, I still believe there are plenty of great anime that are at this same Masterpiece level. Yeah you got that right, for instance naruto ,for me , is as amazing as FMAB, its also a masterpiece, but that's just based on my opinion,point is yeah there a lots of anime out there, and to be honest i hope i can always find ones that are better than the previous so i can live awesome feelings again! Oh you will definitely find another 10 out of 10 for you. Even if other people don't agree with how good something is, your perception is different and you might see things shine where other people don't. Talking about Masterpieces I even found another one not long after I finished FMAB. We just have to give things a chance and watch them. |
| Oh boy. Several times throughout this anime, I almost cried. This was an amazing journey. I'm not gonna lie, when I first started this anime, I somewhat lost interest and took a few breaks here and there, but as I progressed, it took a nice turn and ended up being one of my all-time favorite anime. A bit more romance would have made this anime even better but oh well. Not much to say, really. It is indeed rare for an anime to conclude everything so well, so I'm glad that we got to see a nice conclusion for everyone (surprised that even the side characters got a nice conclusion shown haha). Overall, I give this anime a 10/10. Hope to come across another anime that'll make me rate it a 10/10. On a side note, are we just not going to talk about the fact that Ed never returned Winry's earrings??? haha jk And now, the withdrawals begin :CCC |

| I've seen a few episodes of FMA before, so wanted to give Brotherhood a try because of all the hype. It certainly had interesting characters and storyline, but I just can't get myself to give it a perfect score. It's very close, but somehow it didn't captivate my heart as much as other 10/10s for me. My favourite character(s) were probably Ling/Greed. 9/10 |
| I love how they used the song Hologram at the end. That's my favorite OP theme of FMAB. <3 Had so much fun with this series. 9/10 :D |

| is there possibility writer continue their next journey? I mean |
 |
| Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat it ended without a kiss God damn it, the ending pictures were pretty interesting hahaha Ling as the emperor and Mustang with his moustache. |
| That ending.... the feels.... it's over!!! Ughhhhh T____T Feeling sad that Ed can't do alchemy anymore but I wouldn't rolled my eyes if the author somehow made a way for him to get it back. Seeing Grumman become Fuhrer President in the end instead of Roy (that mustache though!) or Olivier also felt right. It would be nice to see Roy fill in the spot one day but I also feel like he's a bit too young for the job, same goes for Olivier. I also felt a little sad that Ed and Al are travelling separately. It makes sense considering they're older now but still, it felt a little lonely when they revealed their plans. Then there's Ed's confession... so true to character that it made me LOL but it was so cute. Really liked seeing him older (and taller!!). Also love the family(?) portrait at the end. Ed's kid smiling and looking exactly like him was so damn precious. I haven't read the FMA manga and IDK how similar or different this series is in comparison but I have seen the older FMA series... and seriously, that one doesn't even compare to Brotherhood. I totally understand the #2 overall ranking this anime has on MAL. I just finished watching this and I miss it already. |

| I was postponing the series for so long since i watched the 2003 version and thought it's just gonna be a remake, so I wanted to forget 2003 version as much as possible.. But then I realised that these two are really different. I remember that 2003 version left some very negative emotions, however FMA:B is absolutely amazing. This final episode means end to such a great story, and it is so sad. However, this is the best anime happy ending I've ever seen! So much feels.. I feel connected to all the characters so strongly that I can't imagine how I am gonna survive next several days without them. But I feel infinitely happy that I was able to touch this masterpiece. Goodbye Fullmetal Alchemist. That was unforgettable. P.S. Amazed to see that 7 years after being aired people still watch it. I thought I'd be the only one for the last n months ,-p Well, it just confirms that FMA:B is a masterpiece. |
| I liked it, there was good closure, but having been overly familiar with the plot and its many elements, I have to say I only enjoyed it slightly more than the original anime adaptation. Basically the first FMA cleared up a lotta holes I would not have gotten unless I somehow read the manga at the exact same time as the show was airing over 10 years ago. So it was nice to already know whom, for instance, the needle moustache faced mine town tyrant form the state was, because there was no explanation in the show, or the manga I am assume. Sadly I would have rated Brotherhood higher IF it had come out all those many years back. It would have instilled some much needed ideas into my head. But I never lacked for access of goodly knowledge or proverbs to live by through my life, and as good as Brotherhood was, it could have been better and was by no means a masterpiece or in my top 10 list ( maybe in my top 20 list? * shrugs *) . So I give FMA Brotherhood a solid 8/10, and this is high praise indeed. PE@CE |
| Posting this in 2017. It ended perfectly. Masterpiece indeed. I have hard time starting anime these days specially long running anime but I finally finished it. It was in my PTW list since 2012. |
 |
| You know a show was good when it has you feeling "well now that the show is over so is my life pretty much" One thing about it still doesn't settle right with me though. Ed lost his alchemy for literally no reason. His dad offered his life, Ed refused and gave his alchemy instead, but then his dad dies anyway shortly after. Bologna :| Still, the ending was great. Of course like with any good show I want more, but this ending was pretty damn good. But now I'm SUUUPER curious about FMA1 like I'm not going to watch the entire thing because it would just make things confusing, but I want to see how it ended and started and stuff. |
| Great great show, I absolutely love how they ended the episode with them showing Ed and Winry's kids aswell :) Compared to FMA2003 this show definitely had more to it, the side characters had more screentime / significance in the show. It had amazing fights, the bad guys, especially King Bradley was one of the better antagonists I've seen. Everyone came to love Greed and Scar throughout the show aswell. Solid show, really entertaining after sitting through the first 15ish episodes that were basically shortened episodes of the frist half of 2003. Also one of the better ways to end the show :) 10/10 from me. |
 |
| GAAAH! Such a good ending! I loved every second of this episode! I loved seeing Al back in his body, he looks so healthy now! It's incredible how much he and Ed have grown! I loved the scene with Gracia and Elicia! That Edwin scene at the end was the best thing ever, I love those two! Those pictures at the end wrecked my heart, I'm happy that we got such a good ending and sad that it's over! |
| Probably the most heart warming final episode I've ever seen on any anime. Masterpiece of an anime! |
 |
| So i just finished the brotherhood version, and now i can tell that the finale is slightly different from the 2003 version, in 2003 version Nina revived back to life as a Homunculus but in brotherhood it didn't happen because Scar killed Nina's father. But anyways Fullmetal Alchemist is one of the Anime Masterpieces that i've ever watch, the story is amazing so many plot twists, amazing character developments like Scar who got change of heart after meeting new people, and i just love the love hate relationship between each character, even i feel kinda sad when that scum Envy died. Happy Ending is always good, Roy Mustang became the fuhrer president i hope he ends up marrying Risa Hawkeye they gotta be canon i ship them so much, Selim is back to life although he has friggin' nipple on his head, Lin Yao became the Xing Emperor, Al got his body back, and the family potrait at the end made me speechless and apparently Al ended up with May Chan, i'm so happy for them. FInally everyone lives happily ever after. Overall score 10/10, a masterpiece indeed |

| NAKAMA POWAAAAAAAH !!....!!...... huh. Not gonna lie, that was a pretty good and entertaining series. Ending wrapped up everything pretty well. However, there were some things I didn't like. Some of the ideas weren't something too spectacular as everybody says. But executed pretty well. The conclusion (final fight etc) was a bit disappointing too, even tho the build up was huge. However, I loved the atmosphere. Also the characterization for some of the characters were kinda meh, but for some of them great development while story goes on. I ended up entertained 8.5/10. |

| I just finished rewatching this for like the 3rd time. It's an anime I can pull out again and again and thoroughly enjoy. There are scenes I will always cheer at, and scenes I will always cry at. I know some people here have bitched about the happy ending, but I just love it, wouldn't have it any other way. |
| Just finished this for the first time. My god, the last 15 episodes or so have made this one of the most epic shows I've ever seen, with quite possibly the best ending. It's 5am now and I am too hyped to sleep xD |
| Wow, that was quite the ride! The final episode was a great way to end that adventure, showing what everyone was up to afterwards. And that proposal. 10/10, I would definitely recommend this anime to everyone! |

| I can't call it a masterpiece. Don't get me wrong, it is a really good series. However, it suffers from two major problems. 1. It gets way too "shounen-ey" at times. The very first episode was terrible because of this. It took a few episodes to fully gain its legs and flow well. It certainly hooked me after it got going, but even after that there were several moments throughout that took me out of the show. 2. The climax was rather ridiculous. "I'm going to contain God inside of me with all of these souls." There's such a thing as trying too hard to be epic. The show was already great. It was already epic. There was no need to escalate it to a boring "I want to become God" motive for the main villain. This made me completely lose enthusiasm at the climax of the show. Each of those is a point off for me. If not for those two things, it would be a perfect 10/10 masterpiece. |

| This is a perfect anime I have ever watched so far! It is well-adapted and has no flaws. The ending was so satisfying. I am very speechless, I don't know what to say. Definitely one of the best shounen anime, I mean the best anime of all. I would like to thank studio Bones for remaking Fullmetal Alchemist, it did not make me feel disappointed from the start until to the final episode, the OSTs were also fitting and perfect too. As for this episode, after defeating the evil God, everything turned to be peaceful. All characters made their dreams come true. Edward and Alphonse were happy to be back to their homes. Edward also took a confession for his love to Winry. Afterall, they had two children. It reminds me of Trisha and Hohenheim's family picture. For the final thoughts, this anime will always be in my heart and I will never forget this. I feel so great after watching this anime. Once again, it is a very perfect adaptation and it deserved more love and the highest rated anime in MAL. Pure masterpiece! |

| This turned freaking great after episode 34. Before that was a 7, after that was a 9, and the last few episodes solidified it as a 10. I preferred it to 2003 as this had a much better conclusion. Also this is how you do a final enemy correctly (looking at you Soul Eater) |

| For those who told Ed "a dwarf" ... (obviously I was not one of those ... v :) More than 8 years passed ... is there any news of a sequel? And in the Manga? |
| The question isn't "What anime do you like?" That is merely a list. The question is "Why do you like it?" That tells a story. Your story. |

why would they make a sequel To see the trip of Ed and Al East and West... |

| That was such a phenomanal story. I give this a 10/10. Just outstanding. |
| The last quote from Edward, man it was something... |
sakurag1h said: Is it just me or Edward gets taller by the end of the episode? And muscular well it did take place later so it makes sense |
| Fantastic finale. It concluded the arcs of all the living characters and wrapped everything up in a nice bow. That Ed x Winry moment was too sweet. Such a nerd using equivalent exchange to propose. I started to tear up at the ending shots. This past week has been a small journey for me as I marathoned every episode. But as it has been stated, the end of a journey is the start of another. Perfect. |
 |
| Definitely memorable. I'm glad I watched this although I put it off for a long time and was told over and over to watch it. I loved how so many characters had a meaningful impact, it makes the world that much more enjoyable and more REAL to me. The music coming in around the end was so perfect and everyone cheering Ed on was so damn iconic. Been a while since I've seen a series like this and it won't be forgotten. |
 I have small reviews for almost ALL anime I've seen. Unlike any regular MAL page you've seen. Ever wondering what I've watched and what I think about it? Check my List out below! https://myanimelist.net/animelist/Iam_Jermaine |
| Very nice ending to an amazing show. |
| A final that closes all the open issues with lots of photos with the protagonists and their progeny, but it was better if instead of doing two episodes at the end the authors would have made a nice special to close this anime series. One of the best anime of all time, does not leave unsatisfied. 9/10 |
 |
| Best ending I have ever seen in an anime.. I am pretty late I guess.. LOVE YOU FMAB.. |
| that was spectacular, had me occupied and interested the entire time. i can totally see why it's #1 as of right now, im wildly impressed and i could find almost no dislikable character other than tucker. loved how at the end they ended up marrying and having kids of their own (grown up may is cute), satisfying ending. gonna miss it, this will be the second 10/10 im out to give. |
| Loved it 10/10! I'm gonna miss watching this, but I loved seeing how it ended and I'm glad it was a happy ending. |
