Your opinion on Full Metal Alchemist
It is utterly amazing. I plan on seeing Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood from the start, but Iāve been following the manga(Iām not going to bother with the first adaptation since Iāve heard Brotherhood is completely faithful to the manga(Edit: Never mind. Iāve heard from a fan that the original follows the manga very well, but only for season 1. I now plan on seeing both.)). Easily one of the best anime/manga ever made in my opinion. Fantastic character development/characterization, I love how thereās some philosophy for a few things(like what Edward and Alphonse were reflecting on during the flashback of their training on the island and the āone is all, all is oneā line), and an engrossing plot thatās hard NOT to be invested in.
I love Winry Rockbell, Riza Hawkeye, basically all of the female characters, even Lust, despite her being a manipulative villain that can be easy to hate. I will admit Olivier Armstrongās hostility towards Edward and Alphonse, and her bad temper rubbed me the wrong way on a few occasions, but sheās just as awesome as the other female characters, and I completely understand why she was hostile. All of them are excellently written female characters.
Edward Elric is easily my favorite male character with Roy Mustang being my 2nd favorite, though Ling Yao and Greed come close. My favorite serious moment with Edward is when he gives up his Gate of Truth to bring Alphonse back. Favorite funny moment is probably the scene when he admits heās short for his age, and Winry and Alphonse are surprised.
Winry for 1st favorite female, and a tie between Riza Hawkeye and Lan Fan for my 2nd favorite. Favorite serious moment with Winry is when sheās in tears and willing to kill Scar for killing her parents, but ultimately canāt bring herself to do it(excellent show of humanity there). Favorite funny moment is anytime she beats the crap out of Edward for completely destroying his automail.
Favorite minor characters that donāt show up often are Paninya and Maes Hughes(easily one of the best āmartyr to push another characterās character developmentā characters in anime).
My favorite villainā¦damn. This is hard to decide. Iād say a three way tie between Scar, Envy, and Father(aka the original Homunculus).
Will probably make it on my Top 10 Favorite Anime once I see it the full way through, as Iāve only seen some of the final episodes.
However, I will not say Iām a bigger fan than my younger brother, as heās said itās his absolute favorite, even though he doesnāt watch anime or read manga much anymore, if at all.
