    I was excited for FMA:B after hearing it hyped as one of the best shonens around, but in the end found it quite disappointing for several reasons:

    - The characters are flat and static. The only one who really changes is Scar, and he's a secondary character at best. - Each character only has 1 power and they're pretty boring.

    - The characters are flat and static. The only one who really changes is Scar, and he's a secondary character at best.

    - Each character only has 1 power and they're pretty boring. The main character's main ability is to make a little knife appear at the end of his arm to punch people with. BO-RING!

    - The characters don't grow. The two leads are no more powerful when they fight the last boss than they were at the start of the first episode

    - Way too many redundant flashbacks about everyone's tragic backstories (like every other shonen)

    - Lack of compelling big-ticket fights, which are supposed to be the main hook of a shonen. Most major confrontations were short and rather dull, with people just fistfighting and using their 1 power. By the end of the series they become really repetitive.

    - Too many characters, too little character development

    - Generic villain with a generic "shoot a big beam of light into the sky and acquire THE POWER OF THE GODS" villainous scheme

    - Animation was so-so. There wasn't much location variety and they were pretty visually bland. No strong sense of place

    - Music was serviceable but forgettable

    - Too much gore to be suitable for kids, but too simplistic and generic to be entertaining for adults

    On the plus side, Winry was cute and I actually thought the chibi bits were pretty funny.    … Expand
