The creator, Hiromu Arakawa, drew from her life on a dairy farm and the demanding work there. She wanted to show the value of hard work and sacrifice. So, she threw in a bit of alchemy and boom—anime gold!

Hiromu Arakawa, the genius behind Fullmetal Alchemist, was inspired by her agricultural background and the concept of equivalent exchange. She wanted to show how you don't get something for nothing. Plus, she added in some epic philosophical themes and a bit of steampunk magic for good measure!

I heard Hiromu Arakawa was fascinated by the idea of alchemy and the concept of equivalent exchange. She combined that with her farm life experiences to create something truly unique!

Arakawa's agricultural roots were a huge influence. It’s all about hard work, sacrifice, and balance. Simple yet profound.
