how was this #1 on MAL for so long? It started off ok but by the time you got to briggs it slowed to a crawl and became a very bland and mediocre experience. It just wasn't engaging and the characters are very bland and one dimensional with the exception of the homunculi. Not to mention the dumb fucktarded reasoning of the MCs to not use the philosopher stones to stop the big bad because "it's wrong to use the philosopher stones that were made from humans to stop more people from being killed because... it just is ok!!".

only because adult swim dubpedos shilled it

They've shilled a bunch of shit but nothing like this steaming pile of shit

Really bad bait. Ed and Al use the stones to save people twice (once each), they just don't want to use them to get their bodies back.

Even when fans of the series explain why they love it so much and how it's so different from every other shonen I still don't get why they like it.

They use them only when it's plot convenient for them to get out of a bad situation. Logically they should just be abusing the fuck out of them whenever they fight a homunculi but they don't for no reason

The fact that people aren't shitting on OP for even mentioning MAL shows how low this board has fallen. Sad times.

>moving the goalposts
You've already lost, don't dig yourself deeper.
>Logically they should just be abusing the fuck out of them whenever they fight a homunculi but they don't for no reason
But they do. After pride they aren't the ones fighting the homunculi once they get the stone so they literally can't use it for that.
I don't have screenshots but you can look it up online, it happens the exact same way as in the manga.

I will not reply further, it's clear at this point this is just a poor attempt at bait and you haven't actually watched or read FMA, but are basing your opinion on shitposts you read online.

Completely agree. Fmab is shit especially compared to the other anime. It's the once in a lifetime event where a derivative (og anime) beats out the original (manga)

it was shit and lame. Dante was fucking retarded and pathetic, Kimblee was a fucking mess and Plot never moved forward until the final stage of the show. The only good things about it were the soundtracks and the openings.

>beating the big bad with the power of friendship
like most other shouenen, FMA is trash. I'd rather watch FMA 2003 than this stinking pile of garbage (Brotherhood).

Dante is a million times better than father you tasteless swine

>mal
found your problem

She isn't you're just a dumb coomer because muh female villain. She was fucking dumb and useless

midwits love fullmetal, it should be obvious why

When did ed ever use the stone? Al used it once in a scene that inevitably went nowhere, but I don't remember ed using it

03 was fucking shit

The 2003 version was kinda kino though with its bittersweet ending.

At least hxh isn't at the top

how was this page 1 on Any Forums for so long? It started off ok but by the time you got to the end of the greentext it slowed to a crawl and became a very bland and mediocre experience. It just wasn't engaging and the bait is very bland and one dimensional with the exception of OP being a faggot. Not to mention OP's dumb fucktarded reasoning of watching a series because it's #1 on MAL because "I care about MAL ranking because... i just do ok!!".

op is being an asshole but I could never get through this shit either. bland boring art, slow as molasses pacing. characters were generic, especially villains. if this was your first shonen I get it, otherwise...
