If you get into it, I'd really like to hear what you make of the worldbuilding, especially the alchemy and the ethical stuff that comes out of it (a lot of which is probably evident just from the voiceover quote in my post). Also I suspect that the wider events that Ed & Al get involved in will interest you, involving the characters at the end of episode 2.

Yeah, thinking about it, I can definitely see a number of ways that this could be a good fit for you, if you're able to pay attention to it.
