I would say the special thing about it is the Alchemy and how and who are using the different styles like Mustang and Fire, Edward with Metal, Armstrong with the Earth.. that is I would say is the best about FMA

The thing I like the most in this anime is the story line in its characters itself. They give me excitement when Im watching it...

the best thing about FMA ... is ... well ... the new world offered in this story ... a world where the science isn't the heart of the world ... they live their live using alchemy not science ... all of our live depends on science ... we even created "Science fiction" to escape from reality ... but for them in this story ... there is no science ... it's not important ... just pure alchemy ...
which is called by "Magic" in our world ...

The most thing i liked about FMA is that the world in which Ed and the others lived is an image of what our world would become if the chemical science developed over physical Science let alone it's fine storylines ,charcters designs and it's comedy merged with drama and ofcourse the action within it ,FMA is one of the best

I like ED and AL because they are everything a family should and couldn't survive without the other.

The best thing, i think about full metal alchemist, is the fact that its way different from most other animes. theres no energy attacks, powering up or any think else that you would expect from other animes like dbz or yuyuhakusho.

Fullmetal Alchemist is one of the few series that has focused on love without becoming a romance. Nearly everyhing that drove the storyline (the creation of the homunculi, Ed and Al's condition, pursuit of the philosopher's stone...) resulted directly from the love of one character for another and the consequences of pursuing that love beyond the bounds of nature.

Most anime is rather commercial and immature about love: boiling it all down to very simple terms that can easily be turned into harlequin-level doujinshi or fanfic. But in FMA, girl + boy is probably the least interesting and intense sort of love presented. The familial relationships (parents and children, brothers), the relationships between co-workers, and relationships between teachers and students all get the sort of attention usually reserved for sappy shoujo lovefests.

I honestly think that most people who write romance doujinshi or fanfic for FMA "didn't get it"... the canon is fabulous (up until Shamballa, which I'm pretending didn't happen).
It's one of the few series that DIDN'T leave me craving fanon. The character relationships were just lovely as they were.

By far my fav part was the ending, to be honest it made me cry
But the train with the hand sticking out the window, ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Also the love of brothers, but totally inaccurate, Brothers are mean!!!! right??

bii!!!

i think the best thing about FMA is the love between Ed and Al they'll do anything 4 each other & Al's always keeping Ed on the straight and narrow

The best thing about fullmetal is the story. How they show the love between these two brothers who just want to get their bodies back and get things the way they used to be. They really show how much they love eachother, and how much the other characters in the series care about them too.
