    Full metal alchemist us by far the most over rated anime of all times, it’s barely deserving of a 7/10, and I think that’s being generous. I can probably give you 50 anime I’ve actually watched that are, as a whole better than it at all points

      I personally didn’t think it’s bad, but I didn’t like it enough to watch more than 20 episodes and I think I tried twice. Nothing hooked me I guess.

      I agree. When I saw it was the highest rated of all time and a bunch of people I know recommended it I expected it to be some kind of masterpiece. It was just okay. I genuinely have no idea why people rate it that highly. I didn’t start watching anime until 2019 so maybe I am just missing the nostalgia factor.

      FMA:B is loved because it is just well-made, original source notwithstanding.

      It is one of the rare cases in anime where a series gets a graceful, well-done ending. Its tone, storyline and pacing are complete, well-balanced and consistent in quality throughout.

        Yeah this is basically my take. The fact that another poster didn’t really connect with it and gave it a 7/10 is kind of the point, I’ve liked some anime and given them a 7/10 so if you don’t like it and give it that score it’s gotta be objectively pretty good. If you do connect with it, it’s the complete package, a relationship I have more with AoT than FMA.
