Even with those nauseating moments of saintly altruism that were rather sophomoric in practice I liked the show. Of course everyone has a different gauge of good and bad but I'd consider murderers and would be murderers bad, yet some of the protagonists saw that they needed to save them as well. I don't mean this in an economic sense or a social sense, but in the sense of just good and bad. Secondly, it is a farce to even believe that everyone deserves to be saved. To begin with, it is the utmost of arrogance to believe that you can save everyone. 2.) I took exception with the belief of some of the characters that they could, or even had to, save everyone. How often must victims be chided for wanting justice? It may be considered a human frailty by some but even still, let it be the choice of the wronged person to forgive or not. But I feel strongly about not denying someone a chance at their vengeance. Yes, this is my opinion and I know not everyone would agree. Because now, in this highly unjust scenario, I have a dead loved one and the killer still breathes. Conversely, if I had the opportunity and was denied it because of someone's warped belief that it would "make me no better than him" then it would only cause me to be more angry. If someone killed a loved one of mine and I could get the chance to end his life that would bring me a least some semblance of closure. Why deny him that outlet, even if it results in the killing of the killer? Do these moralistic pollyanas believe that somehow a person can control their anger if denied the opportunity to seek revenge? I think quite the opposite. People get angry, especially with those who've killed their loved ones. Let me kill this guy to prevent him from killing a killer!!!!? Supposedly she did it because she wanted to prevent her good friend from going to the darkside (in a manner of speaking) by letting his anger control him in that moment. Really?! Would you kill your own friend to save some other creature just because it has life? That's a hypocritical and oxymoronic action if there ever was one. Quite literally it would be like a wife pulling a gun on her husband to prevent him from killing the creature that murdered their child.
There was even one scene in which one of the protagonists pulled a gun on her friend to save a homunculus (artificially created being). They took it to such an extreme that they were willing to sacrifice themselves to save those who were clearly their enemies. 1.) Their concept of all life being sacred regardless of who's or what life it is. Were their morals bad? No, just juvenile and childlike in their simplicity. I became real annoyed with the morals of the Elrics and other "good guys".

So, there is a lot to like about Full Metal Alchemist like I said-which leads me to the small bit that I didn't like. Shows like that get tired and old real quick.
I've seen other shows in which they come up with dumber and dumber ways to keep the show going by denying the main character the completion of his quest. A show such as this-one that has a definite goal-has to conclude. I love that the show's creators did that. They made sure to actually conclude the saga instead of having the Elric's interminably roaming the earth looking for an answer.

And they didn't drag the series on too long. The main story and all of the smaller stories within the series were great. Then, separate from the Elric brothers' quest was a larger scheme involving the country of Amestris, immortality and god-like powers. Their journey led them all over the place all the while they discovered more hidden truths and a major sinister plot. Beyond the alchemy and the various alchemists was the quest of Edward and Alphonse Elric to reunite Alphonse's soul with his body. They were nearly wizards or superheroes even with their skills. It was a blast seeing alchemy and the alchemists at work. Basically, you can't create something out of nothing.
The simple explanation of "equivalent exchange" is that in order to create something you have to give up or sacrifice something of equal value. They not only stay true to what alchemy really is per definition-a form of chemistry and speculative philosophy practiced in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance and concerned principally with discovering methods for transmuting baser metals into gold and with finding a universal solvent and an elixir of life-but they expand a bit on it with the principal of "equivalent exchange". For starters: the alchemy and alchemists. There is a lot to like about the anime series Full Metal Alchemist.
