‘Fullmetal Alchemist’s Most Horrifying Episode Is Still Anime’s Ultimate Gut Punch

Comments

1. Ghost Beacon: that transformation scene still gives me nightmares
2. Vanta Lynx: that one still holds up surprisingly well, what aged it better than I'd have expected?
3. Arlo: That single episode still gives me chills, but I remember when Fullmetal Alchemist truly found its legs for me was after that point - the way they explored the consequences of playing
4. Elin: what really stood out to me though was that traumatic episode where the main characters got involved in that country's militarism and suffered for it
5. Ravi: i still can't think of another anime that pulled the rug like fmab did - its unpredictability was masterful
6. Talia: that scene always stuck with me though the series itself kind of lost its momentum afterwards
