Many fans consider Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood to be a truly exceptional anime, and it often leaves viewers wanting similar shows. While it’s hard to find anything that quite matches its quality, several other series capture the same great qualities, making them perfect for fans of both this version and the original Fullmetal Alchemist.
What truly sets Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood apart is its expertly written story and detailed world. While other anime also explore similar themes like strong sibling relationships and complex moral questions, and boast impressive world-building, these titles deserve attention from any FMA enthusiast – from well-known recent series to exciting upcoming releases scheduled for Spring 2026.
5) Demon Slayer
If you enjoyed Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, especially the strong bond between its brothers, you’ll likely love Demon Slayer. Both stories center around a sibling trying to save the other – in Demon Slayer, Tanjiro works to turn his sister back into a human after she becomes a demon. Like the Elric brothers, Tanjiro experiences great loss, and his determination to save his sister feels similar to Edward’s. While the stories and worlds are different, Demon Slayer also offers exciting action, beautiful animation, a quick pace, and a dark, supernatural atmosphere, making it a great choice for Fullmetal Alchemist fans.
4) Attack on Titan
If you loved the complex world and strong storytelling of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Attack on Titan is another excellent choice. While the premise – humanity hiding from giant, man-eating creatures behind walls – is quite different, later seasons deliver the political twists and shocking reveals that FMA fans will appreciate. Like Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Attack on Titan expertly builds up these surprises from the very beginning, demonstrating a similar skill in crafting a compelling narrative. The action and speed of the story are also comparable, though be prepared for a less optimistic conclusion.
3) Hunter x Hunter
If you enjoyed Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, you might also like Hunter x Hunter. While the stories are different, fans of one often enjoy the other. Interestingly, the 2011 Hunter x Hunter series is a significant improvement over its original anime adaptation – a common trait it shares with Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Hunter x Hunter also stands out with its high-quality animation, compelling characters, and a well-developed power system that FMA fans will likely appreciate. Beyond that, it delves into complex moral questions and isn’t afraid to explore darker themes. Plus, it features Gon, a fantastic and relatable main character – a great choice for anyone who loved Edward from FMA.
2) Baccano!
If you enjoyed Fullmetal Alchemist, you might also love Baccano! This anime, also from the late 2000s, shares two key elements with FMA: alchemy and the use of homunculi. Beyond that, Baccano! has excellent animation that still looks good today, a complex and exciting plot full of twists, and a cast of interesting characters with varying morals. The strong supernatural elements are a major highlight, making it a great choice for FMA fans.
1) Daemons of the Shadow Realm
If you’re a fan of Fullmetal Alchemist, keep an eye out for Daemons of the Shadow Realm, which premieres on April 4th. This new anime, also created by Hiromu Arakawa, the author of FMA, offers a similar feel and will be a great watch for the Spring 2026 season. Like Fullmetal Alchemist, it centers around two brothers and features a detailed, unique supernatural power system. The animation style is reminiscent of FMA, and promises plenty of action and suspense. It’s shaping up to be one of the best fantasy anime of Spring 2026 and is a must-see for fans of the genre.
