Taking back how I previously ranked Full Metal Alchemist in Arthouse Converter

In the best animated cartoons of all time, I didn't rank Full Metal Alchemist higher. I probably should've ranked it higher, but had only thought about its animation and style ideas.

I take all that back.

Unlike with what I still think about the time and culture mesh known as Shinichiro Watanabe's Cowboy Bebop, Fullmetal Alchemist has obvious philosophical implications when two young brothers are given the temptation to resurrect their mother at a cost: their own body(s) and possibly many others along the way as seen when Edward first meets the Philosopher's Stone against Gluttony and Lust. The Hominculus are physical manifestations of what humans theoretically go through according to ancient texts, in addition to possibilties that humans may actually go through still to this day. The power of resurrection, which we may see nowadays in modern day cloning experiments, may be a power at a cost, we cannot possibly comprehend in bodies broken and minds naive like the Elrics, where we may encounter some people involved in government, and biochemical power experiments, influencers and men of power throughout the world. 

The neglect and demonization of the Middle East is done in an almost David Fincher fashion, but doesn't hurt casual viewers.

To summarize it quite shortly, the themes of religion, war and many themes present in our naively thought of as future and science fiction fantasy Blade Runner's non-everyday society is present throughout this anime and cannot be ignored for its intellectual merit.

I haven't figured out where to place it exactly on the list, but it's definitely somewhere very high.

I still have to review Brotherhood prior to deciding though.
