So, I enjoyed this series a lot when it was fresh. It has:

Disabled characters, strong female presence (for an anime), great action, cool world building, all the hallmarks. Its been around for a while, but it also does that anime thing where the fantasy world is super germanic, but I guess that just goes with the steampunk (Attack On Titan is like this as well.)

On one hand the big genocide in the story is clearly wrong, but theres good guys involved in it that get a pass from the story, and also it treats its made up minority race like nobles, but on the other hand theres a serial killer who goes around killing the aforementioned genociders and the story treats him like he isn't doing anything that bad.

Also: Brotherhood, FMA 2003, or the Manga?

    I loved Brotherhood, haven't watched or read any other versions.

    I really loved the story and twists and turns, related hard to the dad stuff (cried my eyes out at the last few episodes) but also watched it all before I knew shit about politics so I need to give it another watch now.

    It could be a fun book-club-style watch along to talk about and analyze.
