Magic is not nice. Alchemy has rules to follow in one world and in the other, you don't mess with demons or the gods, but then - sometimes one has no choice, right? 5019b

What is the cost of having powers? Both series explore this concept in very different ways, and both have brash protagonists.

If you liked Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood add

...then you might like Gunjou no Magmell add

Both series delve into the rules of reality being corrupted, in one case attempts being made through magic and in another, some kind of weird unexplained phenomenon of this island appearing out of nowhere.

...then you might like Psycho- add

I make this recommendation for those wanting to delve into the human psyche, who are looking for worlds the creator built that have a nasty side many seem to be unaware of but the main protaganist is not.

When I think of the similarity that makes me want to recommend this, shudders run down to my spine. Neither series present magic as a pretty thing, though they introduce this to the viewer in different ways. And no, that's honestly not a spoiler, particularly when both series start off with the main protagonist going through a major loss. It's nice change of pace to have a series where magic isn't so clean cut as well.

Mess around with magic and learn the hard way that there are consequences. In both series, the main protagonist lost something vital to them. One is farther away from that than the other, but both can also be quite gloomy at the beginning, or so I think.

If you liked Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood add

...then you might like Toaru Kagaku no Railgun add

Both worlds combine magic and science in different ways, although in the case of Railgun that may not be obvious as I've decided to recommend the series within that particular universe that focused more on the action of things, but there's a whole magical side to the whole thing as well, which is another series to explore if one wants to go into a more slice-of-life kind of thing, though there is still action. Just not as much as Railgun, or even Accelerator, which I think has to do with the main character of Index wanting to live as normal of a life as possible.

If you liked Bleach add

...then you might like Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood add

This is more of a recommendation for someone new to Anime looking for older series that are considered to have made an impact, but both of these series explore the idea of there being something more, something that can't be controlled - death. Both are action packed and have a brash protagonist who is very head strong and a companion who centers them back to reality.

If you liked Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood add

...then you might like B: The Beginning add

Fate is this cruel thing that doesn't want to give back what it's taken, and yet those negatively impacted by magic in this series simply, at the end of the day, wanted to live normal lives.

If you liked Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood add

...then you might like Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei add

What are the limits of magic? Many series have theorized about what kind of limits would exist if magic existed. Both of these explore that theory at the root of the series, each going with a different blend of actual magic and science.

If you liked Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood add

...then you might like 11eyes add

Fate is cruel. Magic is even crueler. Which, I think, someone who's seen one or the other of these series will get what I mean by this without getting into too much of spoiler territory. Another way of putting it is magic isn't kind at times making those who use it not want it.

If you liked Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood add

...then you might like Boku no Hero Academia add

The main protagonists both have a wish. Then, that wish is dashed to pieces by the reality of their worlds. Then, tthey find some level of hope of gettingettinghat they feel they have lost. That's the similarity I am recommerecommendingn.

If you liked Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood add

...then you might like Hitsugi no Chaika add

What if the world one lives in has a grotesque form of magic that answers to no one? For some reason that seemed like the best way to describe the connection between the two, but that specifically has to do with how unjust the magic at times feels in both series and how this makes the protagonists grow.

If you liked Naruto add

...then you might like Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood add

For those interested in foul-mouthed protagonists, this recommendation is being made. That isn't meant as an insult to either series by the way, but instead focusing on the fact that both series are likely to draw in viewers who are interested in a rough around the edge protagonist who comes across as more trouble than they're worth because of that.

If you liked Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood add

...then you might like Zetsuen no Tempest add

Take the ending and beginning and flip them might be the best way to describe the similarities between the two series without going into spoilers, but I think viewers may understand what I mean when they watch the one they haven't yet seen. Or, I may be finding a way to describe why these two series are similar enough that one might like the other without going into spoilers. They're both pretty dark, nor do they hold back form the feels, or making it clear what failing means for the protagonists.

If you liked Chrno Crusade add

...then you might like Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood add

Make a deal with the devil. Both series have different takes on that line, but still manage to pack in the action. Is the main female lead of Chrono almost like a female version of the main character from Alchemist? Or do some of the character elements end up in her character Chrono? You decide.

If you liked Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood add

...then you might like Fairy Tail add

Looking for another fantasy series with protagonists who are in your face, well, look no further. Stakes are high in both series, and-- Am I the only one who thinks Lucy and Winery could be sisters? It's kind of weird like that. Oh, and characters aren't afraid of running their mouths in either series or afraid of talking smack.

If you liked Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood add

...then you might like Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica add

What if a wish were taken too far, or even corrupted from what the original person wanted? Both series are built around this horrific premise, yet they ended up with very different results, one being a more traditional fantasy series while the other is -- well, a magical girl series. Neither are afraid to get dirty with the subject matter either, making it clear from the very start just how horrific things can get.

If you liked Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood add

...then you might like Pandora Hearts add

Pandora Hearts is kind of like what would happen if the alchemists in Fullmetal did in fact go too far and succeed in going too far with a definite escalation of consequences to what happens, while Fullmetal can be said to mellow out Pandora's horrors. Yet, they are two very different stories with different enough characters that one might interest fans of the other.

If you liked Soul Eater add

...then you might like Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood add

The idea of alchemy in Fullmetal Alchemist is just as creepy as the attempt to make a living sword, aka weapon, in Soul Eater. It's manipulating reality at the end of the day, for the better or the worse, but the characters also end up eventually working towards the same end goal rather than just living their lives out.

If you liked Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood add

...then you might like Dr. Stone add

Seems like two very different shows, right? But then, what seems like magic is science and what is science seems like magic. Except in the case of Alchemist science is magic, way of manipulating the world around them, while Dr. Stone also attempts to manipulate the world around him by bringing back science through a long and arduous process. It takes time to get the results they want at the end of the day, but both are stubborn enough to go for it as they're both that much into their fields.

If you liked Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood add

...then you might like Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic add

The main protagonists remind me of each other, and not just because they're blond and brash to a point, but because they're trying to make up for past mistakes, have a female love interest who is involved in their journey in some way and a small brother figure - one quite literally their younger brother while taking place in a fantasy setting. There re trial and tribulations that can twist wishes around, so to speak as well in both series. So, enjoy.

If you liked Fullmetal Alchemist add

...then you might like Nanatsu no Taizai add

Comedic in a wacky way that I feel is similar in both Anime, both series follow a strong, brash male character in a fantasy setting that contains major influence from Western (aka European) cultures, creating a vibrant world for the characters to explore and journey through.

If you liked Baccano! add

...then you might like Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood add

A Japanese creator takes their own take on a Western historical-fiction fantasy, building a diverse, complicated world brimming with adventure and excitement, not to mention good laughs. Seems like a good combo for recommending one for the other, but the styles do have similarities, although one of the series has a more realistic style than the others.

If you liked Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood add

...then you might like Kimetsu no Yaiba add

Dark gothic styles and an exploration of the grotesque when it comes to human limitations may be an odd way of describing the similarities between these two series, but those are the words that come to mind. They also both take a darker look at a place's original mythos, spinning it off to create their own mythos. The protagonists, on the other hand, are the exact opposite of each other, though when one puts them together with their traveling companions, their groups are equivalent at least in the feeling of the group.

If you liked Majo no Takkyuubin add

...then you might like Majo no Tabitabi add

This recommendation is for those who've seen Kiki's delivery service and are looking for more traveling witch story lines, in particularly to see how others handle the tropes of the traveling witch, which seems to be popular more in Japan than the West story wise, possibly because of the slice of life elements. But the reason for the recommendation is that it is nice to see how a Ghibli classic inspires future generations. Of course, the reason for this is there is the expectation that most Anime fans are familiar with Ghibli, but just in case they're not, this was likely a major influence for the other series.

If you liked Majo no Tabitabi add

...then you might like Slime Taoshite 300-nen, Shiranai Uchi ni Level Max ni Nattemashita add

Did one of these series inspire the other? I couldn't help but notice the styles were very similar, to the point it feels like they're done by the same person and happen in the same world, but they don't. And surprisingly, the series I thought came first didn't, but I did love the style, and both involve witches, and both are slice-of-life.

If you liked Majo no Takkyuubin add

...then you might like Sousou no Frieren add

Wandering souls - this recommendation is for those who've seen one series or the other and are looking for a fantasy series with a wandering soul exploring the world around them and forming relations as they go along, for better or for worse.

If you liked Hataage! Kemono Michi add

...then you might like Benriya Saitou-san, Isekai ni Iku add

Ever try to explain your job to the people of another world and it go right over their heads? That is what happens to both characters, with both jobs being considered odd and out of place. One ends up being unexpectedly handy to have around while another - well, everything goes over the characters head continually.

If you liked Shinchou Yuusha: Kono Yuusha ga Ore Tueee Kuse ni Shinchou Sugiru add

...then you might like Hataage! Kemono Michi add

Both isekai have out there humor, but the main protagonist of Kemono Michi reminds me of the hero from Cautious hero, having summoned that aren't to their summoners liking as well as obsessive-compulsive behaviors that are on the neurotic level of things. And then the summoners, the one who summons them, there is also an overlap there with a summoner filled with hope, then frustrated with the hero they summoned to other similar dispodispositions.
