It plays on Adult Swim, and it is simply an amazing piece of animation and story. The way magic is handled is refreshing, it has its drawbacks obviously. The characters are ones you can really empathize with, and the circumstances of it all is incredibly tragic. I like how the show delves into the darker side of alchemy, with things man wasn't meant to know, and meant to do (human transformation being the biggest taboo).I was thinking it would be awesome to have a game using BESM in the vein of Fullmetal Alchemist. The problem is, the brilliance of this show is in the characters, their motivations, and the story. So running a game in the same world, might not have as much appeal as the show. But I think it would be pretty cool to run the PCs are state alchemists, doing odd jobs for the military.Another appeal is the morality of the show. While it doesn't ask any thought provoking questiohns (unlike The Big O, which is another freaking awesome show on that network), it has some awesome moral situations which the main characters must go through. Such as Shou Tucker and his chimera; my god, I shudder when I think of that poor creature. Again, awesome show, could be an awesome game. Ooooh, GoO should do a Tri-Stat/d20 book on Fullmetal Alchemist. I can see Tri-Stat/BESM handling Alchemy very well.Hell, I might just suggest it to them. They probably have already thought of it, but it doesn't hurt to say something.</blockquote>
