Birth & Death by Hayaaaateuh (Fullmetal Alchemist AMV)
I think this vid is really mesmerizing in the way it captures the sheer epic scope of Arakawa's story.

vidder's note: So, yes, the theme of death and loss is inherent in FullMetal Alchemist, as it is closely linked to many character's stories. But one of the reasons why this manga touched me so deeply is that Arakawa didn't only drew this side of life, but made her story come full circle by showing that there is always a hope of rebirth - may it be the birth of a family, of a brand new political era, or the rebirth of a culture.
