Well FMA is nearing its end now (though I have been saying that for over a year) and soon it will be time to say a tearful goodbye! (over dramatic much?) Anyway FMA is a fun series full of supense and dramtic twists as well as excellent plot.
The characters are all very loveable and somehow believeable. The way Ed uses alchemy is fun as well. The series incorperates a lot of real social issues as well such as racism, war crimes, war, the problems of a military state ect. Which just adds to FMA's wonder.
ANyway its a great series which is pretty much awesome in everyway (because I'm not baised at all) and also for you echii loving guys out there, just one pointer, there's a woman called Lust. And for us girls there is a little (just a little) romance within the story between several different characters who all have very OBVIOUS pairings which should not be meddled with. Other than that enjoy the series! (its awesome)
Oh and slight spoiler here but Ed does actually get taller! Horay! (well he's still pretty short) Permalink " "
The characters are developed nicely and every one of them is used brilliantly, would have liked to see more development on the secondary characters but i am satisfied.
The art is magnificent and enjoyable, it gets better as it goes but is overall micely drawn.
And personally i must say it rocks =D
