This is perhaps the best anime I have ever seen in my entire life. Though I was very skeptical about it at first, given the fact that I'd grown up hearing about Fullmetal Alchemist and expecting it to be a kid's show, and the fact that the artwork in this anime is a little... different from that of "classical" anime styles, I was a bit reluctant to start watching it. Then my friend finally convinced me and I saw episode one. And I was hooked.

The story is original. Though there are many themes that various anime/manga share in general, this story is absolutely fascinating in its complexity. FMAB is also good because it follows the original manga, as opposed to the 2003 version, so it's slightly more coherent and has a lot more likable and wholesome characters.

The music in this show deserves an award, it's so good and so fitting that it's impossible think of anything better. All the OP's and ED's are amazing, but even the OST is absolutely perfect. I have all of them on my computer and I listen to them on repeat from time to time.

The characters are very well rounded and complex, most of them have back stories that are engaging and relatable. You will be able to identify with at least one of them, I can guarantee you.

Overall, this anime is one of the classics, and it is rightfully so. I don't think I would ever enjoy another anime as much as I have enjoyed this one.
