Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

Sixty-four episodes of plot, payoff, and not a single arc that wastes its place.

The benchmark long-running shōnen. Brotherhood is the adaptation that finally follows the manga end-to-end, and it shows: every faction, foreshadow, and side character lands by the finale. Hiromu Arakawa wrote one of the tightest ensembles in the genre, and Bones gave it the production it needed.

Hughes. That’s it. That’s the post.
