While I'm waiting for the movie to be released in English, I thought we'd share some of our fave FMA moments. I'll get the ball rollin'.

1) The series started out in a very foretelling way (it would give a good idea as to what adventures would await the Elric brothers), with Edward Elric trying to bring down Father Cornello, and eventually losing the trust of Rose Thomas (although she comes back later).......

2) I was quite angered and saddened at the way Shou Tucker used her daughter Nina and their pet dog Alexander as guinea pigs for a transmutation experiment..... why did you do that, huh?

3) The showdown between Roy and Ed in episode 13 was quite a hoot to watch. Maes Hughes' introduction of the battle, and her parading of his daughter Elysia makes me smile whenever I see it....... gotta love a guy who loves his kid soo much....... :)

4) The fight between Ed and Al/Scar showed what trouble the Ishbalans had gone through vs. the State Alchemists, and no one showed more grudge than Scar ever did....... but Ed is all smiles because he's still alive.....

5) There was no sadder moment in the series than when Hughes took a bullet....... it was quite the saddest death I had ever witnessed in an anime, ever. I need not say more about that.

6) Just about everything in ep 37 is a laugh-a-minute. It's amazing to see what the show is like with Ed and Al away.

7) All I need to say about my last moment is this: Ed dying, and eventually coming back..... in another universe.

That's my $0.02, folks.

More of AS Forum thing, so I'm moving it.

I'll try my best, although I haven't completely seen every episode (skipped a few in season 1; watched everything from 23 to the end) and OVA. Also, there are scenes that are too grim for me.

-Any scenes with Hughes (except for Envy's impersonation and maybe his death) in particular (a) his meeting the emotionally weary Mustang (getting a smile from the latter) in the ep. 25 prologue and (b) looking hot at Elysia's birthday (Too bad the anime didn't include the manga scene of him gun-toting a bunch of boys interested in Elysia: "Hey Punks! Get your hands off my daughter!")
-The Brothers Elric's experience on Yole island (failing to catch fish; evading the monster).
-The Brothers Elric's reunion with Hohenheim (especially Al's meeting).
-Hohenheim remembering his family life in his encounter with Sloth.
-Mustang explaining to Ed his reason to rebel against the Fuhrer (avenging Hughes).
-Ed's experiences in Earth 2 (especially his realization- "Okay...this is weird"- and confronting Hohenheim about his love life).
-When the seemingly victorious Dante and Pride suffer major reversals in fortune thanks to Al and Mustang.
-Pretty much all of Act II of episode 51 (The Royai scenes; Al as human).

FMA: Conqueror of Shamballa (note that Earth 1 is FMA universe and Earth 2 is our universe)

-Al's two introductions in the movie (at the desert and Lior).
-Envy finally getting owned! (pretty much happens throughout the movie)
-The 1st and last reunions of the Brothers Elric.
-Ed meeting Fritz Lang during the making of Seigfried (1924).
-Mustang at Hughes' grave.
-Wrath embracing his mother at the Gate.
-Al's freakout over seeing a dead child.
-Pretty much every scene with Earth 2 Hughes and Earth 2 Gracia, especially when a humbled, wiser Hughes summons the nerve to meet Gracia.
-Noah's funeral dance for Al Heidrich.

I also liked the OVA concerning a bunch of kids...

My favorite moments are:

-The conversion between Ed & Dante about Equivalent Exchange

-Roy's & Pride's talk before they fight each other

-Ed Enters "The Other Side" of the The Gate
