Story started way fast and then receives no real develop or shock moments that other great anime like Bleach have. The only mystery from this series is the back story because you will basically knows everything from episode 20 it just a huge manner of ending it. You can tell woman wrote it because they have stupid pregnancy episode where they worship woman all day.
Art now this is crazy stuff, and it's crazy how crazy it is. It must have taken decades for the people to draw and animate this because there is so much details and motion. It worth watching just for the pictures.
Sound makes the same music over and over again and you'll get sick of it a lot. The japanese people also don't have as good as voices as American language speakers so we already know that Vick Mononogo is the better Edward.
Most characters you can tell which side their on before they even introduce themself and if the author care about them enough to die or not. There no real development here, nobody really changes or anything you just learn more and it takes forever to end. Strong women which never happens in real life, happens all the time in this show.
Overall this show is okay, but you can just realize how author tries to pat the femininest agenda into the show. If you tolerate that, Full Metal Alchemist is a good substitute for Harry Potter.
