Anime 5114 Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood Userrecs

Both are the best shounen in the world to me! They start off with adventures of a brave main character and go on into darker themes. Love the way the character opens and evolves throughout the story. 

Revenge, Suffering, Agony and Redemption... Shingeki no Kyojin has a feeling of FMA Brotherhood in which a kid who lived a peaceful life gets thrown into a dark grim life full of tragedy and agony due to losing someone important to them. However, both main characters refused to move on and dedicated their lives for revenge and redemption. If you enjoy a full packed action dramatic plot you'll love both of these series. 

Similar 19th-early 20th century setting. Both worlds have some form of special ability (alchemy in FMA and Innocence in DGM) used by the main characters. Both main protagonists are 15-year-olds who have a strange arm. Both also have a group of villains with secret motives. 

Both series revolve around one sibling looking out for and trying to heal another sibling of an ailment. Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood is a full adaptation of the original manga series. It is set in a fictional, European inspired setting and revolves around the supernatural element of alchemy. Kimetsu no Yaiba/Demon Slayer is set in what seems to be towards the end of the meiji period of Japan where technology is being steadily introduced, though I may be wrong, and is about a young man who is trying to save his sister while following the path of a demon slayer.  

There is, for both of these series, a place that should be left untouched for the simple reason great disasters will occur. And, for the most part both series are light-hearted with the plot that follows the main characters who are young, still learning, naive, yet hanging around is that beginning of the show, that gives a hint at how dark things can get. 

Surely both series do share a big part together which is the alchemy. Alchemy and all its related things: immortal beings, legends, immortality elisir/philosophical stone and so on. Both stories evolve around the same epoch (first years of 1900) and share amazing main characters. Even if, the style to tell the stories is very different, they both still share a very good music theme as well. If you enjoyed one I'm sure you'll like the other too! I can definitely affirm that both of them are masterpieces. 

The main characters both gain powers and sacraficed parts of themselves to gain something. Both have a lot of daddy issues. 

A boy is coming from a village to a city to become a "dog of the military". In Akame ga Kill he is doing it because he wants to save his village. In FMA: Brotherhood he is doing it because he wants to save himself and his brother. In both anime they soon realize what the military is really doing/will do to all the people in the city. There is a lot of great action and little comedy too. 

Both have a similar action and adventurous atmosphere with a blond, badass and short main character. Both have a large amount of comedy in their fights as you watch the MC take on various conflicts which their encounter in their journey. Also there are characters in both shows which embody the seven sins of a human. Though in nanatsu no taizai the characters have a past revolving around their sin and we focus on their present journey and development, whereas in fma:b the characters which have these sins are the main antagonists.  

Both feature their own take on science heavily. Dr. stone's science if more grounded in realism whereas FMA:B's alchemy is more exaggerated for it's fictional world. Both science's and the young genius main characters who use it, shape the world around them. Both are exhilarating series with great OST's, plots & characters. 

Both illustrates similar themes. The main setting of both anime are in an unusual time period. The plots are based off of supernatural characters. Both are the sequels to a previous, juvenile version of it, hence more mature character developments happen. 

Both series feature two prominent characters who are close to one another and always looking after one another's well being. The both of them go on a form of journey to fulfill their goals while the same time helping others. It brings them for a journey and gives them new hope for the world that they live in and the ideas they embrace. Throughout their journey to achieve their goals, they learn new things while making both friends/enemies/and other people of interest. Both series have many funny dialogues but at the same time have emotions, drama, and bits of violence. The battles that the two main protagonists stars in are also portrayed as being shounen, with the supernatural bits added to it. Both series feature different settings but have a similar feeling to them. Additionally, there is also a prominent female character that aids the protagonists in various circumstances along the way, as well as other prominent supporting characters. Both series also deal with other issues that includes politics, power, dominance, and events from the past.   

Series where the MC travels in search of his body parts that were lost in a forbidden ritual. Both have well-animated action fights featuring "supernatural" powers and have drama surrounding the idea of a family. Plus, both are new takes on stories that already had an anime adaptation before. 

Both are gorgeous, wonderfully faithful adaptations of their respective manga and are roughly the same length. Human experimentation, fugitives, a mastermind antagonist with a big plan who manipulates those around him, characters seeking revenge, monstrous characters (physically and mentally), a large cast that is continually interconnected throughout the show, deep mysteries being slowly unraveled, and the list goes on. 

Although as a genre, they are different but deconstruct them they are truly very similar. Both supposedly anime that are aimed for boys, both transcend their genre by providing plot narratives that tackle universal issues that slowly become personal as the both series progress. 

Set in a different world, where magic/alchemy is common. They are both fully packed with action, and are likely to leave you on the edge of your seat by the end of every episode. Whether you are looking for something with a similar plot, similar fights or something epic with that dark feel to it; Look up the other if you haven't watched it yet. 

At first glance the protagonists are the type of character who would alienate everyone around them, yet as the series progress another side of them shows through as they fight for those they care about, whether they be family or the friends they make on the many adventures they go on. One of the series is a more classic series, but another takes what was in the classics and puts a new spin on it as well. 

Both series feature characters adventuring in a foreign, imaginary world which contains new natural laws of physics, new disciplines, species, new sciences, sports, political structures, and religions: Trapars=Alchemy Limit of Questions=Equivalent Exchange LFOs/Building=Automail/Alchemy Lifting=Alchemy Vodarac=Ishval Homonculi=Coralians Basically, the worlds feel similarly fresh and fleshed out. The character casts are equally large, with two strong male leads and one or two strong female leads. Both protagonists are on a quest to save the world. The character development and pacing is exactly the same in both. Both series are the same length. Both leave similar feels when in your mind when finished. The cultural/ethnic differences in people has similar detail. Extremely similar animation. Both developed by BONES. If you liked one, you will like the other. Trust me.  

So basically just watch the god damm anime trust me if you like good writing mc and sides,power diversity, good villians fullmetal is for you, maybe if you like scary and creppy background fullmetal got it too because there is a lot of insane people in that show , the villians are so great that you going to love them and hate other ones.  

Both of these series are alternative histories regarding Europe, all of which involve the aftermath of war, though this is less apparent in Fullmetal Alchemist until one gets farther into the series. There are also steam punk elements in both series as well as the desire of moving forward, yet there is also the possibility of Fullmetal influencing Violet Evergarden in some manner. 

FMA:B Also deals with the idea of "human weapons" and competing factions who are not always as they appear. Both have humour on the side as well. 

Both are made from Hiromu Arakawa. Both animes have a good sense of comedy, drama, and romance. Even though FMA deals with the supernatural and Gin no Saji is more reality based, they are both extremely good animes that deal with the struggles that occur during life. The problems that the main character from both series are extremely relatable to normal people.  

The "chained" events is a common feature in both of the animes and do drive you to think. They share Tragedy and happiness moments that are somehow alike (it's like a projection from the world of fullmetal into the world of death note).  

These are both over-the-top anime series that keep you on the edge of your seat. They both contain non-stop action that just keeps getting crazier and crazier. Both of these anime revolve around limitless resilience, hope, and friendship.  

Magi is like a combination of One Piece and FMA, it takes the best of those two and it's a really great shounen. You have to watch the prequel named Labyrinth of Magic first. FMA shares some rather dark themes with Magi, political and socials. 

Adventure world very original. Both gave two kids trying to find a parent and answers about themselves. There is even a tragic experiment story in both of them. 

To gain something, you must give equivalent exchange. For a miracle to occur, you must sacrifice equal happiness. 

Pandora hearts is just as great as FMA Brotherhood, though Pandora Hearts has an open end (something that really dissapointed me). I totally recommend it! Pandora hearts has a good plot, hot and mysterious characters, and more! (if you don't believe me, check it on google!) P.S.: If you watch Pandora Hearts, then you should read the manga! 

Similar dark premise as far as story lines are concerned, main characters are different but seem to both fit in their perspective storylines well. Common misconceptions from the main charcters, help thicken both plots. Great action scenes of the use of superhuman abilities, as well as the idea of an alternate reality. Overall DTB was an awesome anime, what else would you expect from a BONES production, but greatness. 

Both plots focus on the "brotherhood". There are dark settings and suitable music for every part of the story. Both highly recommended if you like mature anime! 

Both are epic action shows with a lot of depth, great characters, and deep philosophy. 

Dark plots, monsters, the mystery regarding some kind of conspiracy - well, both of these have all that, both of which take place in historical time periods, one being alternative history, both in Europe. The characters are also fun, and someone whose seen one may be looking for something similar yet of a slightly different genre. 

Both action packed anime! Great characters Great story Great OPs and EDs Amazing animation  

The series are actually very different. In comparison to FMA, in Busou Renkin you can actually bring dead to life. However, both series use Alchemy as a fighting power and their enemies are homonculus. So if you simply want to see different version of Alchemy, feel free to check any of those shows.  

Monolithic expansionist empires, machine-like armies, and super-special units putting out fires in all regions of the empire are very similar motifs in both of these anime. 

Adventure shows, with an interesting fantasy twist. The character designs are very similar, and have a more serious tone in both, though FMA:B has a slight comedic feel. 

Both main characters become dogs of the military due to their pasts. 

Both main characters do not have a father figure in their life. Both main characters are on a very perilous journey (wish I could say more about this but then their would be spoilers) Both end up having to get help from other people along the way Both have very good fight scenes Both are very well made both in terms of story, character development, art style, music, etc. If you are on the fence watch the first 5-10 episodes. If you liked one of these anime I can almost guarantee that you will be hooked. 

Both shows have veteran soldier characters, similar climate and sense of humour. The setting of both is based on early 20th century. 

-Both are action anime. -Both have a strong bonding kind of relationship between the main characters like Edward with Alfonse and Hyakuya with Mikaela. -Both have 1 noisy and the other quiet character. -Both have awesome battle animations. -Both are very similar in a lot of ways. 

Both shows with a tight and suspenseful narrative full of mystery and intrigue, with complex and fully realised characters, while simultaneously navigating themes of what it means to be truly human, the horrors and emptiness of genocidal war, and the hope in fighting for humanity regardless of the odds. 

Both are about philosophy morals etc, both have an amazing cast of characters and great female characters which unfortunately isn't much present in anime. 

They both draw heavily from german military history. 

To me, Chrono Crusade is the closest anime to Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Sure, D.Gray-man has some similar aspects shared with Fullmetal Alchemist, but it has enough differences to not be another Fullmetal Alchemist. However, Chrono Crusade is the closest anime to Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood I can think of. The plots both revolve around siblings, and Rosette reminds me a bit of what Edward would be if he was female. There’s more, but we’d be here all day. Which is better? Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, no question. But Chrono Crusade is also pretty good and worth a watch. 

Pretty large cast with good characters. They use magic and they fight bad guys. The main characters are very similar to each other. 

extraordinary capacities and powers/ excellent fighting/action scenes ,comedy and tragedy The characters in both of these anime have a goal they are trying to reach with never give up attitude . 

the way the show takes serious tones then follows it up with funny and endearing cartoonish moments kept making me think about fma. another similarity is a kick ass OP which is always a plus. 

Donten ni Warau and FMA are both character driven, brother-centered shows about fighting for strength and the ones you love. I highly enjoyed both; in fact, they're two of my favorite Animes. They are emotionally engaging, and connect you deeply with the characters. Both have plenty of action and a little supernatural (FMA has alchemy and DnW has the Orochi, Omnyoji and the Shinobi--ninjas). Between the three brothers in DnW, I'm not sure who would most parallel Ed and Al. Both have lost their parents from the beginning, though Ed and Al have left and the 'Three Cloud Brothers' remain at the Kumou shrine. FMA is based in a fictional European country, whereas DnW is in NE of Kyoto in Meiji period Japan. A few other similarities: Both take place around the turn of the 20th century Both center on moving forward from a darker past Both have that character who's a general and gets on your nerves, but you can't help but like them. Overall, great show; if you like one, you'll probably like the other! ;)   

Animes where "People Don't Die When They're Killed"! # where the protagonist seeks a powerfull mysterious mythological object # where sacrifices are required to save people # where the antagonists have different motives like greed, lust, pride... # where a battle needs more strategy then pure strength A dark non-episodic deep epic story full of action with great animation & soundtracks. 

Both are steampunk adventure anime. Both have Alchemists too. 

Military organizations and their hierarchies play a big role on both animes. You may find some similarity between the main characters backstory too.  

If you like drama plots and battles with magic, and you have enjoyed one of them, you will like the other. Both animes are developed in a world of magic and feature a good set of characters, and they really have a good plot in my opinion. Zetsuen OST is way better imho (read, masterpiece) but the plot, and specially the ending is better in FMA. 

Looking for another story about a hot-headed protagonist, who also happens to be short, blonde and an orphan? Look no further than Edward Elric and the anime series's Fullmetal Alchemist and Fullmetal Alchemist : Brotherhood. Unlike Naruto who is searching for his place in his village, Ed is searching for something else, but both characters fight through the hardest of times to get what they're looking for.  

Both deal with someone with a specific view of the World trying to change it. Both have fantastic elements to it (alchemy in Fullmetal and "magic"/mechas in Code Geass) that adds a certain mood to the series. Both are very dramatics stories with lots of twists, but not without their comedic moments. Both are great shows, that will make you think, laugh and perhaps even cry. 

They are both fantasy action shounen featuring a protagonist who has exceptional skills in magic (or alchemy), an intriguing plot, and some comedy. 

Same Bible setting (If you don't get it, try compare bible with Mass Effect, or FMA, or Guilty Crown and so on. You'll find out incredible amount of similarities.) Complex story. Deep main character story. Main character Unique powers. Beautiful OST.  

1. The setting and scenery of the anime is almost the same. 2. Lau and Ran Mao were probably inspired from the characters Ran fan and Yao Ling from FMA. 3. Circles of Alchemy and Sebastian's symbol seal were probably very much interconnected. 4. The feeling of both anime are pretty much similar. 6. Experimental and such. 7. In Kuroshitsuji, there were indians but in FMA, there were ishbalans. 8. Yao Ling is the 12th prince from his country but Soma is the 27th prince from his country. 9. Agni and Scar are similar, they have queer powers in their right hand/arm and they worship their god very much. 10. Ciel Phantomhive and Edward Elric are dogs of the military, dog of the queen etc. 11. There are only two main characters in the anime.   

In both series, there is the crossover of magic, fantasy, and technology involving military themes. Additionally, among the characters, there is that sibling love feeling. Furthermore, both series feature the adventure type of theme where the characters try to discover the truth and learn more about the world that they live in. There's also that type of political and conflict-ridden plot crafted into a beautiful story. Also, there is action, drama, tragedy, and some hints of romance in both series.  

Both about kids who have lost something, and how they overcome obticles further to come. Both with same type of plot. Both brothers in it, but different at the same time. Truely recommend Iron-Blooded Orphans to FMA brotherhood fans.
