Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Loses No. 1 Spot as Highest-Ranked Action Anime

For years, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood was considered the best anime ever by many fans. But the dedicated fanbase that fiercely defended its top ranking in the early 2000s has seen its position challenged. This became clear when another anime took the #1 spot on My Anime List in 2024. Now, FMA: Brotherhood has lost another title – it’s no longer the highest-rated action anime. That honor now belongs to a different, highly praised dark fantasy anime that’s currently popular in the United States.
