Well, the storyline between the manga and the anime kinda goes seperate ways, but I'd have to say the storyline of the manga is the best. I absolutely love the storyline.....

The world created in Full Metal Alchemist is super interesting...you have the military, who pretty much control everything, and then you have this elite section of the military composed of all the alchemists, each with seperate abilities.

Plus, they actually include a sort of mythical science in the series which is neat. When they explain the alchemy process, it makes sense scientifically *like how Mustang uses his fire, equivolent exchange, etc* but they just make it more interesting. I mean, way back in the day there were people who believed in alchemy, trying to change lead into gold, but FMA takes the concept and extends it.......I think that's pretty sweet.

I prefer the manga to the anime, but the anime is still good. One of my favourite shows.....

For me it was the intellect of it. It's good to know they have shows where science is the main concept. Also, the mystery. It's almost like Sherlock Holmes.

Descended From Darkness

The best thing in the series is the comedy because it actually gives some relief from the hard-core action. And the mystery of the Philospher's Stone keeps you on the edge of your seat kind of like Descendents of Darkness.

I really enjoyed how they tied it to real world concepts. I thought it to be interesting how the war between the State and the Ishbalins almost directly reflects WWII incidents. As with most anime, FMA used objects, such as the philospher stone, which was actually thought to be existent at a time, and tie them into the storyline so nicely.

I find Fullmetal alchemist so unique and eccentric to other anime series and another thing is that the storyline is somewhat amazing and touching.

The only thing i didn't like was episode 9 when it jumped 3 WHOLE YEARS after 1 episode i mean i guess its good that they did it because you appreciate the series so much more if its not super long *Cough DBZ* cough... yea but i would have liked to see what happened during those 3 years between there ages of 12-15 and the series ends when ed is 17

I must say that the best part was the great voice acting of the characters, there was a great chemistry between them. Also, the writing was crisp and kept everything moving.

Most of all the general theme of tragedy is what made it great. From the first episode I saw in the season 1 which was the last episode of that season, I knew it was something good, because it got an emotional response over a character I was only introduced to in that episode since it was my first. I got so misty eyed at the burial scene I knew it was something good. Something about tragedy makes something fantastic.

Wow...
All of you had amazing points.
Fullmetal Alchemist was a very unique anime indeed. What I found most intriguing was the music; it always seemed to set the mood just perfectly for each scene, carrying the heaviness of emotions within it. The characters were always interesting, and the storyline was intricatly placed together.
FMA, once coming to it's end, left me dying to see more. Which made me and my friends wonder...

'Did it end too soon?'

I personally think that it ended at just the right time. We don;t want another InuYasha anime out there... I nean, no offense to IY, but it just seems way ti repetitive. If FMA would have gone on like that, it would have lost many of the faithful fans it had today. The hunger for more lets you know that it was a great anime. ^_^
