Those who are posting FullMetal Alchemist as being one of the greatest animes, I have to question why? I made mention that it was alright, and actually quite good for the first half of the show, but the second half is littered with plot holes, sub-plots that don't go anywhere, character development that ought to be called sub-par, and unnesesary twists and stalling with certain subjects and events. The drawing and animation are supurb, that mcuh I can agree on, and is a constant throughout the entire series, but honestly, how can you pass Full Metal Alchemist as being one of the best animes out there? Unless you enjoy turning a blind eye to obvious plot holes, sub-plots that are going nowhere and are a terrible hindrance to the story, and sad, stupid, meaningless character additions and removals... if you can ignore all of that for another 26 episodes( give or take a few), than feel free to watch and enjoy it.

Simply realize that for those that have yet to see it, they are goibng to be lead into something that starts off as truly amazing, but than peters out.


And I have to wonder if anyone actually enjoyed wasting their time on the series of Ninja Scroll and Ghost in the Shell - they're abominations of two wonderful movies. Terrible, terrible spinoffs. Soil to their name, in essence.

Watch the movies, but give a wide berth for the abhorable things the series are.
