This story contains spoilers for "Attack on Titan" and "Fullmetal Alchemist."
It's easy to compare "Fullmetal Alchemist" and "Attack on Titan," even on the surface. They're both among the most famous shōnen manga, with highly popular anime adaptations to boot. "Attack on Titan" began publication in 2009, as "Fullmetal Alchemist" was wrapping up -- concluding in early 2010. In 2021, the series' authors, Hiromu Arakawa ("Fma") and Hajime Isayama ("Aot") sat down together for a dual interview, published in Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine.
Both series have European-styled settings (unusual for Japanese media), explore overlapping themes such as war and its consequences, and are both more violent and relatively more mature than their genre's usual standards. I'd argue one of the most compelling overlaps concerns their respective main villains.
In "Fullmetal Alchemist," the villain is naturally a Homunculus. He's known as "Father" because he created seven other Homunculi, named for the deadly sins of man.
