    If Fullmetal Alchemist cut out the super anime bits I would like it much better. The over exaggerated faces, the # forehead, going chibi, dramatically dropping animation quality. It was really hard for me to get through some elements of that show. I honestly think it was more of the fandom that ruined it for me, because whenever one of those anime tropes happened it reminded me of people who made those tropes their personality and I would be hit by a wave of cringe.

      Having a nice conversation with your enemy, the enemy telling the alleged hero his secret evil plan, the constant inner monologues explaining what just happened as if I didn’t see it happening, the constant inner monologues explaining the most ridiculous things that happen as if they’re a given and not just making up bullshit as they go, etc. etc.

      I can maybe bear a little bit of those tropes, but if the whole episode is just that then I’m noping the hell out.

      And yes, some people carry this kinda behavior into real life too. Don’t even get me started on that.
