So I finally finished the #FMA manga and... it was fucking amazing. One of the best and satisfying manga reading experiences I've ever had and it'll always be a part of me. Very strong 10/10, Top 3 manga and top 4 overall.

[THREAD]

Some of the best accomplishments in thematic work character writing, set up and payoff I've ever seen in a story. The effectively utilised cast contribute to the story's themes and my engagement as well. The world-building and magic system is fantastic and allows for...

incredibly high peaks. Promised day was peak fucking fiction and one of the greatest arcs ever, all the characters and themes come together to get their character arcs satisfyingly resolved. A culmination of everything before, 20+ chapters of perfect payoff to all the setup...

That came before. Aside from the peaks, it was just so consistent both in quality and entertainment, from start to finish, the story just keeps on improving itself as it progresses, never a dip in quality.

The artwork and page composition is great at making the reading experience smooth and easy, makes fights entertaining to read and the spreads always have impact. It's simple, but it does its job quite perfectly.

Top 5 Characters:
1. Edward Elric
2. King Bradley
3. Solf J. Kimblee
4. Greedling
5. Scar

Edward top 4 AniManga MCs and Promised Day top 4 arcs
