FMA is very much cool. It's got the hero who has the ability to go dark, how can you not love that? Ed almost kills an entire room full of people, just to give his brother his body back. Major goodness for the plot and character development, there. I think he might have actually been willing to do it, too, if Al hadn't been there to watch the entire scene unfolding. But, besides that, Ed is a "dog of the miliary", who hates the military. He's the youngest State Alchemist ever, he's a guy with long hair ........ and it's set in an alternate universe where Alchemy wasd discovere din the early 1900s. Takes place in the early 1900s, actually. No major techonology to mess things up All in all, it's an amazing show, i my humble opinon, filled with majorly cute characters. And cute male characters is always a plus
