Did anyone see this anime? Is it any good? ^_^;; I only read the first 6 mangas.. Pretty good. I'd recommend it to anyone.

But is the anime any good? Cuz I know a lot of the time the Manga is really good, but the anime isn't as good (Gravitation)..

I've overheard that some people really like it, especically the music.

The series is called Full Metal Alchemist? Does anyone smell a rip off of Full Metal Jacket?

I think they're actually related...

Nope. Full Metal Jacket is a movie about the horrors of war in Vietnam, while Full Metal Alchemist is about the search for the Philosopher's Stone.

If they're not related, then it's just a coincidence. It's not a rip-off if all they happen to share is just a part of a name.

Isn't there an anime called "Full Metal Panic"?

Yeah, I know that similar names don't mean a rip off, but the first thing that came to my mind when I saw Full Metal Alchemist was Full Metal Jacket.

Yes, there's an anime called Full Metal Panic. Here's some info about it: http://www.full-metal-panic.com/briefings/briefings.php

if you literally translate the title (hagane no renkinjutsushi) it means 'steel alchemist' i guess fell metal just sounds cooler... it's a good series...a bit long (51 episodes + movie). getting close to the end. better be a good ending. i hate it when good animes have bad endings.

Yeah i especially like this even though its only 8 episodes in the series it is definitely gonna be a good one.
