Curious... why didn't you like the ending? /somebody who hasn't watched Brotherhood up to the ending yet, but knows all the spoilers, so spoil away.

Hoo, okay XD I've ranted about this before, but this is it in a nutshell: I hate it when a series tries to sell me a semi-tragic ending put painting it pink and tying a bow on it and calling it happy.
There is no way that shit with Father would have ended well. No way. People randomly collapsing all over the place, you'd have had hundreds wounded at least. Crashed cars, people falling down stairs, falling off buildings, and who knows what else. So the fact that this wasn't acknowledged and didn't happen pissed me off.

Then there's Ed losing his alchemy, boy oh boy was I angry at that. For one, because I don't buy for a single second that he's actually *okay* with it. Ed loved doing alchemy. It was his pride and joy and fun and he'd been doing it since he was a kid. I can buy him being okay with it *eventually*, but not right off the bat. I am also angry that the story made him, and only him, eat the final results of the transmutation. Because literally everybody else used the P.Stone to get away scot-free, but no, noble Ed has to end up without alchemy.

From a mythos perspective, given the whole spiel about how the Doors guy is god and you and everything, I just cannot believe that there wouldn't be some kind of horrifying effect as a result of Ed just getting rid of his Doors. It's implied that this is something that every single human being has, regardless of their talent at alchemy. To me, this sounds bad. But like everything else, it's treated as Happy Ending.

In short, I ended up annoyed, and I just couldn't buy that this was a happy ending. I'm also sore that one of the relationships I was most invested in, the Elric Bros, didn't really get resolved properly imo.
