I hear so many people saying FMA ending is not good, it is not complete or it is weird. I Believe FMA series has the best ending ever. The reason I love FMA (my #1 anime) so much is due to the ending not much due to the general story. I believe it has best ending in any anime I seen so far.
It is like people who understand and appreciate the ending rank FMA on top and people who don't understand FMA ending thinks it should not be a top anime. I think it is also cultural thing. I am from Indian family, I appreciate the ending and lot of Japanese people also appreciate the ending, therefore lot of surveys and polls in Japan places FMA on top.
Why ending so great.
The whole story was building the relationship and bonds between the two brothers. At the end, each brother sacrifice his own life to save the ,life of another brother. At the end Edward, his sacrifice life to save his brother Al's life. In order truly appreciate the ending, you must understand karmic law (an alchemy law in FMA), which is in order to receive of something of value, one must sacrifice something equally valuable. Therefore, in order to save a life, another equally value life must be lost. Therefore, the way Edward could save his brother's life was give his own life away.
