Story (7.7) - Interesting, simple and clear..easy to understand and it goes in a good pace, i mean, neither too fast or too slow. It starts with 2 boys, who did an forbiden transmutation trying to get theis mother back from the dead. The price for that was high, one lost his body, and the other 1 arm and 1 leg. After the incident they decide to find someway to get their bodies back, but on the process they get involved in the secrets of alchemy and in the middle of some fights caused by homunculus, with the objective of acheiving their main goal..get the philosophers stone, that requires thousands of lives to be created..
Its a good story, however some parts could habe been better worked.

Art (7.2) - Character design is fine, but nothing great.. the graphic aspect is not the strongest point in this anime.

Sound (7.9) - I think its good enough, i liked some of the op and ed..

Characther (8.2) - In this point my opinion is different from this evaluation of this aspect.. Taking my personal opinion out, some characters are very well made and well develloped. My opinion is influenced by the fact i didnt like the characthers at all, with some exceptions..some are really really anoying and others only appear 2 or 3 times :(...i would give this only a 7, but i admit most of them are well develloped, and even if i dont like them is no reason to not give an 8 on this one.

enjoyment (8.8) - Its the strongest point. Lots of action, nice effects,special moves, suspense..well, each point individually are nothing great, but toghether they make this anime very good. I enjoyed watching it so there´s no reason in here to give less than a 9.

overall (8.0): I see why this one is on the top of the best rated anime. Its really a good anime and i believe than even those that are not fan of this style of anime will admit that this is a very good 1. My opinion is no different from most of the people, i reccomend.
