Fullmetal Alchemist doesn’t have any creepy pedo shit I can remember, it just has a storyline that is about how actually there were lots of good Nazis and IJA officers who got caught up in the whole genocide thing and are actually very sorry and just want a chance to set things right.
To be fair the war criminals (Except Oliver Armstrong) explicitly stated goal is to move the country to a place where they are tried and executed for war crimes. That’s not to say it’s good, but I think it is more nuanced than that.
Of course it’s more nuanced than that, that’s how you get away with making a thirty hour long story on the premise of “The Nazis are very contrite actually.”
It’s a great anime, but it’s also a great example of how we’re locked in to a worldwide culture of imperialist violence.
