        Fullmetal Alchemist.

        It’s really NSFL. If you are the kind of person that really likes Black Mirror, it may be adequate, but I can’t really recommend it to anybody.

          There are plenty of far more NSFL anime out there. I honestly hadn’t even considered that FMA might be too much for some people.

          The show itself is great. Especially Brotherhood, the remake/reboot that follows the manga plot instead of veering off into an original plot like the orginal anime did when it caught up to the manga.

          This is one of the more disturbing parts of it. There’s a decent bit of fucked up in it, but most of it is abstract, like entire civilazations dying in the past. Wars. Government corruption. This is probably the most “personal” fucked up thing, besides the starting point of everything being the main characters trying to bring back their dead mother.

          What the dog doin?

          There’s a state funded researcher doing research on chimeras, merging two different living things. The main characters get to know him, his daughter, and their dog as they use his library for research. In the background of this, the chimera researcher is about to lose his funding as he hasn’t made any breakthroughs. The chimera researcher tries merging his daughter and their dog. The main characters have a break down when they realize there’s no way to reverse it, and it’s the start of some serious character growth.

          Hmm. I don’t care for black mirror beyond the first season or so. Then it just got into shock and awe. What does… NSFL mean?

          Update: never mind. Found it. Wtf.
