Is Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood the Best Anime Ever?

Every anime fan will have their own view on what the single best anime series of all time is; some fans cite time-honored classics like Cowboy Bebop or recent mega-hits like Demon Slayer or Attack on Titan. There may be no single right answer, but even so, a small handful of anime series keep floating to the top, and there must be a reason for that. Based on fan consensus and even voting on sites like MyAnimeList.com, it becomes clear that just a select few anime series are all but officially the best. One of them is Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.Unlike the 2003 Fullmetal Alchemist anime series, the 2009 Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood anime has become an industry icon, frequently propped up as one of the very best shonen series and perhaps one of the best series of any kind. It has a legion of dedicated fans and a stellar reputation, which is no accident. It’s not just sheer hype that keeps Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood in conversations about the best anime of all time. There are some clear-cut reasons why Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is still anime royalty — reasons any fan can appreciate.One major theme in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is forgiveness, with major characters either forgiving other people or themselves for horrible things they have done or tragic mistakes they have made. Forgiveness may be fairly common in shonen anime, where the power of friendship and trust is meant to trump hatred and anger, but even then, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood goes above and beyond. The theme of forgiveness is handled just right, with the guilty party doing something demonstrably bad but also having a shred of goodness in them, so forgiveness is tough but still possible to get. Protagonist Edward Elric, for example, gradually forgave himself and his brother Alphonse for committing the taboo of human transmutation in their childhood, and Winry Rockbell forgave Scar the Ishvalan monk for killing her parents in a moment of rage and grief, a brutal moment when Scar hardly even knew what he was doing. It was hard-won forgiveness that made both characters far better.
