If FMA were ever liscensed, I already have a list of at least 20 other anime that I would be interested in spending money on. Even while its available on fansub, there are at least five other anime that I eagerly await releases on and place above FMA.

More than anything else this show annoys me because of its pseudo-science base. You aren't supposed to expect much reality being represented in an anime, but when they set up their own laws and then go against them, it ticks me off. I've suffered through arguments online with people saying they always have the limitation of "Equivilent Trade". I've only seen it used appropriately once in the series, the initial attempt at reviving their mother. Everything else is foolish. Rearranging equivelant amounts of matter, but almost effortlessly, and ignoring any Energy or Entropy involved in the process is not equivelant.

I was a chemistry major for a year and some of the earliest roots of chemistry go back to the greuling history of alchemy. I'm ticked off to see it abused so much.
