I want to put a situation in your head, you are someone in Japan who happens apon the Fullmetal Alchemist one shot manga, you read it and enjoy it, you find out that a manga will come out so you pick it up and start reading it. My goal with this stack is to organize every Fullmetal Alchemist in release order, episode by episode chapter by chapter, to give you the full Fullmetal Alchemist experience.


Legend:
FMA = the manga
FMA LN = Light Novel
FMA VGN = video game novel (part of light novel 7) these adapt the video games stories
FMAA = the first anime (2003)
FMAB = the second anime (brotherhood)
FMAB S = Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Special
Anything released all on the same day (movies, one-shots) will be fully named

These are the best anime specials in my opinion.
