Friendship is the greatest form of love, and the one between the Alric Brothers is perhaps the greatest friendship in all of anime. It may seem odd for an anime centered around some teenage boys to have no sexual connotations whatsoever, but that'd just get in the way of the very strong emotions expressed in this anime.

The series has enough fluff to get us through grim reality, but most of the time, it's really an opportunity to show how much heart many of the characters possess. They seem proverbial, as though the Brothers Grimm were revived to create some of these characters. Anyone we meet to whom a great misery befalls is so uniquely focused and blindly determined that the mechanics of his/her devastation become very clear.
Some people may call FMA needlessly dark for a children's anime, but rather it's brutally honest. We're told about the principle of equivalent trade, which is yin yang in other words, but we get much more than this taoist tidbit. It's a continuous narrative, unlike that Cowboy Bebop crap. We are as blind to this mystery as the brothers and it's unnerving to stop watching, knowing that unseen forces may encounter our heroes at any time. But amidst all this is a very pervasive mystery to which no one is safe. Fellow soldiers we meet rise in ranks and there are casualties. This bond may be broken at any time, mainly because FMA takes place in a very dynamic world. It's always centered (unless if very appropriately not centered) on the two Alric Brothers who share perhaps the strongest bond in all of anime. In FMA, you have multiple reasons to continue each episode but the focus is not lost. 24 is the only thing in recent memory that has a comparable flow and that's only because that show supposedly happens in real time. I borrowed a disc anyways and watched it. Even the name "Fullmetal Alchemist" seems completely avoidable with magic being the status quo in much of anime. The characters seemed to be cookie-cutter determined types out to save the world. A friend raved about this anime, so I took a cursory scroll through it and found nothing worth noting.
