Manga 25 Fullmetal Alchemist Userrecs

I'm surprised no one's recommended Fullmetal Alchemist yet. Magi and FMA are similar in that they both started out quite light-hearted and may fool you into thinking they're all about action and adventure. However, they're actually much deeper than that. There is great focus on the politics, the different sides scheming against each other. Character development is also given much thought in both series, and despite the big casts, both series manage to make most of them likable. 

Pandora is abit similar to FMA, Ed is a person who as a child had his father leave him , while in Pandora hearts, Oz's father abandons him and though they are entirely for different reasons, it still has the aspects of their father's being a mystery. Both FMA and Pandora hearts have deep plots such as Homunculus being mysterious group that have unknown intentions, while in Pandora hearts, the Baskervilles are a family whose leader is unknown and their intentions also unknown. They both contain fights which explore characters,different abilities as well as the theme of immature main characters who start growing out of it.  

Despite having very different goals, both manga have some similarities. Such as the physical similarities between Ed and Allen as well as the running theme of Good vs Evil. However, D.Gray-man has a "religious" aspect in the manga, while FMA was based upon science and alchemy. 

Both mangas are full of mystery and suspense. Fullmetal Alchemist provides both action-packed battles and an intricately woven mystery which is sure to keep you engaged and eager for the truth and what is to become of everyone. You will soon feel like your a part of the world and even shed tears of joy and sorrow with the characters. 

Both are dark fantasy shonen manga about an older brother joining a shady organization to find a solution for his younger sibling's problem 

They both have a young protagonist who unknowingly committed some sort of taboo in magic/alchemy and is learning it afterwards with great determination to reverse it's tragic effects, meanwhile witnessing more dark secrets related to magic/alchemy in a world with detailed setting and history and with lots of interesting characters. Overall they're very similar in vibe. 

The main characters have a "dark hidden past" (some more than others), in both mangas (it doesn't end up explained in Tripeace though, since it's only translated up to chapter 30). The "mood" given off by war is very similar in these two mangas. Both mangas have a dominating militaristic country and many conspiracies. They both portray a cold world and the crimes against humanity an invading country can inflict towards civilians. Despite the serious parts, the mangas are also very funny and have humorous moments. 

Both are excellent stories involving a quest, two companions, memorable secondary characters necessary for the plot. an incredible design, a great villain and a beautiful ending. Two high required fight shonen. 

Both are shonen adventure manga that have a similar pattern of being incredibly funny, even during life threatening situations. Anyone who liked the quirky, involving and epic but still hilarious, even darkly hilarious at times, storyline of either would probably like both. They are both supernatural, and have non-racist heroes in a judgmental and often murderous world. 

Although nearly everything about Ao no Futsumashi (a.k.a. Ao no Exorcist) and Fullmetal Alchemist is completely different, there is something about Ao no Futsumashi that makes it feel like the next Fullmetal Alchemist (in terms of greatness). Despite all their differences (concept, story, world mechanics, plot, etc...), there are some very notable parallels within the format of the two mangas. Both mangas have a smooth way of floating through it's more comical moments and underlying drama without seeming false. All characters, from both series, were drawn with great care and detail, thus making every character have it's own unique look. Each chapter has a feel of completeness yet leaves the reader hungering for more. Fights are well executed and not overly prolonged. Both mangas start off with a clear goal thus preventing the reader from feeling lost do to a lack of purpose within the plot. Seamless transitions between chapters.  

- high fantasy with great worldbuilding - interesting characters with tragic backstories - flashbacks to MC's childhood - unique artstyle - equivalent exchange - both center around revivalism and its consequences but the execution of the topic is different - characters have special powers by using different objects, in FMA it's through alchemy & in Marry Grave it's magic 

Both start out with the same premise : children and their mother's love. Death. Something horrible is bound to happen. Also, both are unconventional, more mature shounens with a touch of sci-fi. The protagonists are young geniuses. Monsters lurk around. And they seem to take place around the same historical period.  

The art of both are done by the same person which leads to very similar looking characters (Kimblee and Daryoon look almost identical). There is a large focus on military strength, though Arslan Senki is more realistic and does not have things like alchemy at all. 

They have the same kind of drawing, pleasant humor, clever powers, battle tactics and big mysterious plot. Kekkaishi's battles are not as epic as, and it is way lighter than Fullmetal Alchemist regarding violence, but not by much. Kekkaishi has less characters too, but you'll love them just as much you'll love Fullmetal's. 

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

Both deal with the resurrection of the dead, both are very dramatic and focus a lot on humanity and philosophical questions.  

No, there are no giant monsters in FMA, no there is no alchemy in Titan. In both of them, however, there is an alternative modern world with technology both below and exceeding what we have now, also the government plays an absolutely massive role in a similar fashion to Titan with their corruption and having the main characters all be tied to it. I don't know what it is exactly, but I just know if you like Titan there is a strong chance of you liking this 

Fullmetal Alchemist and Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE deal with the lead protagonists trying to get something back that deals with one of them. To get to the thing they want, there is some conflict with an opposing side which is made up by a majority of the antagonists. FMA and TRC share the same genres as well. 

The two series are alike in that the worlds in which we are subjected to are well-thought out. Whether it be ninja techniques in Naruto or alchemy in FMA, both series place their main characters in journeys to better themselves, as well as to protect others from evil. 

Series that take alchemy as a basic plot element and then take off running in opposite directions. It's pretty cool to see how they use the same topic in completely different ways. 

Both series are set in a fantasy universe with hints of science and feature young prodigious protagonists working in unusual government positions. As the series progress, they begin to uncover dark secrets about the true nature of the worlds they live in. 

Action/Comedy with an antiwar theme. The heroes try to save everyone, but they can't always do so and everyone else thinks they're fools because of it. Both take place in the aftermath of a devastating war in which the main characters' countries won by committing horrible crimes, and some of the major characters are veterans. 

Both deal with going on an epic quest to aquire an item that has the power to bring a loved one back from the dead or grant awesome powers to the living 

Both Basara and FMA are epic fantasy quests filled with loads and loads of characters, lots of travel, political intrigue, and awesome fight scenes. Basara is easily the superior of the two and adds an element of romance, but if you liked one, you should check out the other. 

Both are works by Arakawa Hiromu, and both tend to play around with pre-existing concepts and notions. 

Both are about brothers, one who's a genius and another who sacrifices himself for the genius. Although in Fullmetal Alchemist Al is still with Ed, and in Baymax Tadashi isn't with Hiro at certain parts, they're both enjoyable.
