Is Full Metal Alchemist good?

Question

Where can I download the anime?

Answer 1

Full Metal Alchemist is an excellent series, and should be a staple title in any anime lover's library.  It's one of my unspoken rules for anime lovers:

1.  Ninjas will always be better than pirates

2.  Must love FMA (Anyone who doesn't is a heretic)

3.  Ramen and Pocky are the most important food group

4.  Must know how to correctly pronouce Naruto

5.  Thinks the shy girls are cute

6.  Knows of at least 6 Voice Actors/Actresses and 2-3 other shows they voice in.

7.  If asked to list the best anime series; FMA, Cowboy Bebop and Neon Genesis Evangelion will be somewhere in the ranks

8.  Anime Plushies are either overly loved or permanent shelf fixtures

9.  Have made at least 3 AMV's for their favorite anime couples (or who think should be a couple)

10.  You can never have too much

and of course the final unspoken rule for anime lovers (keep urges of yaoi/yuri/hentai/etc to yourself; it's fine to like/enjoy whatever makes you happy, others won't be on the same page so don't share everything)

Answer 2

Its good and whether watching it dubbed or subbed. Has some good music opening and closings too.  

Answer 3

You will love this anime; and I would also recommend that you pick up the movie: Full Metal Alchemist:The Conqueror of Shamballa(watch this after you watch the anime or you will be totally confused).

Try Megadownload.net.  You can also read the manga on www.vnmanga.com or www.mangafox.com.

Answer 7

Ah - I haven't seen the others... (shame on me - I know) - but FMA is really good.

You can watch (and download) all the episodes (English dub) here:

http://www.watch-fma.com/

As a slight warning - since a few people found it confusing - though it really isn't - there is a flashback sequence which starts from episodes 3 to 9 which ends at 9 and then 10 continues in order.

(In order of events occurring - 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 1, 2, 10... 11, 12, etc)

The anime has 51 episodes and a movie (which is as good as a long episode 52 - since it is a continuation and ends the series nicely)

However if you really want to download - I suggest using torrents.

There is a manga. In fact FMA is based on the manga. The anime series came later. The manga is original. And infinitely better. Seriously. The story lines are completely different.

To read online: http://www.onemanga.com/Full_Metal_Alche...

The manga has 86 chapters and is still ongoing with a new chapter every month (around the 12th-14th). It's supposed to end by the end of next year or so (100 chapters).

To time-line it:

The manga started in 2001 as a monthly series.

Two years after its publication, in 2003 it was aired as an anime.

Since the manga was ongoing (and the producers probably couldn't wait till 2009 or so for Hiromu Arakawa. to finish the manga), the plot had most of the manga written in the two years (2001-2003) and then after that it went on its own plot and continued movie.

So - somewhere around chapters 32-35 - something (the encounter with Greed in the Devils Nest) - the plots become completely different.

I'll repeat - the manga is better :)

Also - next year (April 2009) there is going to be a new FMA 2 series based on the original manga - so if you prefer the manga - you may like the new series better :)

There.

That about sums it all up. :)

Hope you DO end up liking FMA :)

Answer 10

Fullmetal Alchemist is actually a very good anime. The only thing that you  have to look out for though, is that it may, at times, be a bit confusing as to when certain events are taking place. Also, the ending was a bit rushed. To download the episodes, try something like LimeWire. If you don't find it, try at least watching it on youtube.com, dailymotion.com, or veoh.com. Best of luck
