Wow, just wow. This might be the best anime ive ever seen.
Story 10: The story is memorable, sad and amazing. Its a tale about two boys and their quest to retrieve a body. Doesnt sound like much at first but after you have seen this anime you will have your mind blown. The adventure they go on is long, sad and amazing. And the science behind "Alchemy" which is basically the magic in the serie, is beliavable and memorable. Never did i find the story dull or uninteresting, i was always on the edge of my seat.The fight scenes are also very well made and epic. All i can say is that its one of a kind.
Art 9: The animation is beautifull and flowing.The fight scenes look beautifull and real. Its amazingly well done. And never in the series does the animation lack (As with many other animes) The character designs are also unique and all characters have their own style and look. The reason i did not give it a 9 is beacuse it didnt really have a distinct art style like Death note for example. Maybe its just me but i think that a very different and unique art style is more fun.
Sound 9: The voice acting on the dub is probably the best i have ever seen. It suits the character perfectly and never did i find the voices out of place. (I watched it dubbed cuz the dub was so amazing) And Ed Blaylock does an AMAZING job as King Bradley. I didnt find the music THAT special but its defiently not bad.
Character 10: The characters are fantastic. They always have a REASON to do what they do. They are, as i said, memorable and unique. Every character has an interesting backstory, especially the main characters. Edward Elric (One of the main characters) is funny but at the same time has had a rough past. He is interesting, deep and has many sides too him. Everything a good anime character should have. And the other main character Alfphonse Elric is just as amazing. He is younger than Ed but is maybe more mature xd. The villains are also very very well made. They are menacing, truly evil and their design of them is dreadfull and badass. I cant say much more without spoiling but ALL the characters are fantastic and have depth and are never one sided.
Enjoyment 10: I very much enjoyed it. It was always fun to watch and never a letdown. Its easy to watch, and never confusing. Its just really enjoyable. And i cant see why anyone would not enjoy it.
Overall 10: Ultimately, its one of the best animes ever made. The story is gripping, the characters amazing. Its jut everything you would want from a great anime. Its a must watch for anyone who likes anime, doesnt matter if they are young, old or new to anime or maybe a anime veteran. I mean, after all its ranked number one on this site XD
