I was never into anime; never ever has anime been an interest of mine. A friend told me I should really watch it because it was genuinely a good show. So i see its on Netflix and give it a try....
HOLY SHIT. This show is great in comparison to any show on TV. Pacing is phenomenal (which I value greatly). Characters are great. Comic relief is abundant. Great fight scenes. amazing concept (alchemy). Intellectual. Story was amazing. I finished it in like 3-4 days if that poses as any indication as to how good the show is.
This has gotten me into anime and now I'm watching a couple other shows.
Stop avoiding this show, start it now. I promise it will not disappoint.
Also I watched it dubbed which was great in my opinion, but apparently the anime community is fairly adamant about subs over dubs. For any first time anime viewers who are more comfortable with hearing it in English I promise you it didn't dilute the quality of the series
P.S Netflix only has the first 52 episodes so you gotta go watch the rest somewhere else. And I promise you those last 12 episodes you will not want to miss.
