Sex & Nudity
-
- In the third OVA episode, in a moment played for humor, a woman in a dire situation declares that she can't die yet because she's still a virgin and wants to experience passion.
- The character Lust wears a strapless dress that displays cleavage. Some characters make sexual jokes about it.
- Crude sexual jokes, not explicit. Just played for laughs.
- The main teenage male character is shown having a shower in one episode and then stepping out of it. No graphic nudity, only implied.
- A male character named Greed says, on a few different occasions, that he wants everything in the world: "Money, sex, power!"
- In one later episode, an old man squeezes a young woman's rear end. She hits his hand.
- A female character is shown showering, and her tattoo-covered back is shown (the tattoo is relevant to the plot). Later on we see a brief flashback where she stands in front of a man topless, showing him the tattoo, her arms covering her breasts.
- Episode 44 has a scene lasting about one minute of 15-year-old Winry in the bath. Cleavage and bare legs are seen. Another bathtub shot of her appears as one of the title cards in the middle of the episode.
- A teen girl begins to take off her shirt to change clothes, unaware that a boy is sitting in the room. We see underboob, then she notices the boy and stops.
- A few women are seen in revealing clothes. Mostly the tops of their cleavage is shown.
- Lust wears a dress that is form fitting and shows cleavage.
Violence & Gore
-
- A female ninja cuts her arm off and used it as a decoy.
- Fantasy violence and some gory animated scenes are part of most episodes.
- Lots of bold cartoon violence.
- Bloodshed is shown periodically to varying degrees, and can be somewhat graphic on occasion. However, the violence is stylized in a way that makes it less violent than other shows, but remains being intense and can get pretty bloody at times.
- A woman coughs up large amounts of blood often. However, this is usually not very graphic (usually shown in a more simplified, humorous art style) and is generally played for comedic effect.
- Scar uses the deconstruction element of Alchemy to explode State Alchemists' heads from the inside out, with brief blood splatter shown and occasionally corpses afterwards.
- Some of the bloody fighting and war scenes involve yelling made by the characters as they are sliced or shot.
- An antagonist named Greed (and another called Gluttony) are shown being sliced up with some graphic results while their bodies regenerate. Legs, arms and even Gluttony's tongue is sliced off at one point.
- A flashback into Scar's past shows dismemberment.
- To prove his immortality, Greed asks his henchmen to smash his head off. His brain, muscles, bone and skin then graphically regenerate.
- Gluttony sucks Ed, Ling and Envy inside of a portal in his stomach. It's revealed to be a vast wasteland covered in an ocean of blood.
- Wrath has his arms sliced off at one point. He also bloodily cuts down numerous soldiers in a couple of battles.
- The antagonist, Sloth, has a giant spike rammed through his mouth at one point, going out the back of his head, no blood.
- At one point, Edward is impaled through the stomach by a pipe. He slowly removes it as blood leaks out.
- At another point, Edward has to pull a small structure support pole out of his upper arm. We see brief blood coming out of the wound.
- A woman is impaled while hiding inside a sentient suit of armor.
- One character is known for killing other characters using their own blood.
- A woman's body is seen burned after a man lights her on fire.
- A character bites another character in half.
- Sloth is impaled on a large pole.
- Roy Mustang carves a transmutation circle into the back of his hand.
- A character pulls the heart out of a woman's body in an attempt to kill her.
- A man repeatedly lights a woman on fire, eventually killing her.
- One non-human character commits suicide by reaching inside their body and pulling out the power source that gives them life.
Profanity
-
- The sub version contains "sh*t".
- Some name-calling in the dub, such as moron, pissant. Uses of hell, damn, bastard, crap, and piss. The subtitled versions vary, depending on the translator.
- The dub version has frequent uses of "hell", "damn", "bastard", "piss" and "crap". 3 uses of "bitch".
- In episode 63, Greed calls Ling a pissant twice.
- Mild language, mostly coming from Edward ('bastard', 'hell').
- "Bitch" is said exactly three times in the entire series.
- The subtitled version may be different.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- One character (offscreen) becomes drunk, which is played for comedic effect.
- Not many episodes contain use of alcohol, but infrequently the older characters may drink beer or similar.
- Havoc smokes in a few scenes.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- The series occasionally flashes back to a genocide Amestris committed against a minority group, the Ishvalans, which State Alchemists were forced to be complicit in. Due to the nature of this event, scenes featuring it are inherently distressing.
- The main villain Father is quite frightening.
- Horror is a major element of the series and there are numerous grotesque characters.
- There is one part in an episode where Edward is impaled with a beam. He asks one of the characters to pull it out. The character does so, and pulls out the beam as Ed wails in pain. This can be very frightening to some viewers.
- Wrath and Kimblee are appallingly violent villains.
- After her arm is cut off, a girl undergoes painful treatment to prevent infection.
- Raven is stabbed painfully in the arm and slashed in the chest before he falls into concrete.
- Mustang's hands are impaled to the floor in one scene.
- Envy's true form resembles a large demon with hundreds of bodies writhing out of it.
- One-eyed, human-like zombies with regenerative abilities are featured as foes in a few scenes.
- The series is edgier than its original counterpart in some ways (though nowhere near as dark), with the violence being realistic, if not terribly gory.
Spoilers
Violence & Gore
- In the final battle you can see how many soldiers are mortally wounded or directly killed by different weapons, almost always these deaths are accompanied by blood that stains the walls
- One character is shot, his body is seen laying in phone booth covered in blood.
- Particularly bloody flashbacks of when the main characters Alphonse and Edward try to perform 'human transmutation' (bringing a dead person back to life). Al is totally decomposed and Edward has his leg removed by the forces of the transmutation. When trying to retrieve Al's soul he willingly gives up his arm. The stumps of his arm and leg are dripping with blood as he cries in pain.
- The characters discover that the entire city of Xerxes was sacrificed for Father's plan, resulting in the deaths of millions of innocent people.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- In a flashback to the end of the Ishvalan genocide, Riza Hawkeye makes a grave for an Ishvalan child who was left to die. She then begs Roy Mustang to burn the tattoo on her back that carries the secrets of flame alchemy, so that no more flame alchemists can be produced. This scene is very emotional and upsetting as we see Riza's intense guilt over what she did in the war, as well as Roy's horror at the thought of hurting Riza and defacing her back.
- Riza is critically wounded while Roy is forced to watch. He is then given the option to save her by committing the sin of human transmutation and becoming a sacrifice for Father's plan. Riza is left on the ground bleeding and nearly unconscious while Roy must decide whether to save her or stop Father. This scene is intense and may be upsetting for many viewers.
- Soldiers are violently torn up by an unknown force in a fleeting scene. The arm of one of them is found afterwards.
- A sympathetic antagonist is violently cut up with swords and lowered into a vat of lava that incinerates his body, killing him as he laughs and yells maniacally.
- The Sewing Life Alchemist, Shou Tucker, uses alchemy to create a chimera by combining the bodies of his young daughter Nina and the family dog - only in the name of science and without remorse. Both Tucker and Nina are later murdered offscreen by Scar, the latter being a mercy killing. Will be upsetting to most viewers.
- Some people might get emotional when Maes Hughes is murdered. The funeral scene could be rather upsetting.
- Lust is repeatedly set aflame by Colonel Mustang until her Philosopher's Stone runs out of energy to regenerate, her body dissolving along with her skeleton.
- Out of pure vengeance, Mustang repeatedly burns Envy, which some may find to be an intense sequence. However, he is stopped before he fully kills him.
- Upon learning that her parents were killed by Scar, Winry picks up a pistol and attempts to shoot him. She can't do it, and is traumatized after he gets away. Ed then tells her that she's not meant to kill, and he consoles her as she starts crying. This scene is very intense and emotional and it will upset some viewers.
