I was moved many times and cried many times.
A good anime will make you try to squeeze out of the world like a sponge to watch.
I don’t need to go into too many emotions in the middle. Maybe I am a person who pursues results very much, so all I want to talk about is the ending.
In the end, Al used the Sage's Stone to practice Ed, but Ed regained his ability to become Al.
The awakened Al had lost the memory of their travels for the past four years, but finally got his body back.
Yanzi said, this is a better ending.
It's the saddest ending in my opinion.
Because the goal they have been striving for all the time - to get Al's body back, even if it is finally achieved, they will no longer remember what they have gained in the past four years.
One remembers all memories in the other world, and one forgets all memories in this world.
The two brothers were never reunited. All the hard work, in my opinion, did not get any spiritual gain.
What Steelmaking has to say in every episode is that Al's voice says the principle of equivalent exchange.
Just like what I have always believed in, one hard work is one harvest. Even if the ending denies it, I still believe it.
