Indeed FMA one of the best anime/manga. As Nick said, Brotherhood rushed most of the parts that got covered by the original anime so watching it or reading the manga first can make the things have more sense.

Also Hughes, my favorite anime chaacter for reasons even I don't fully understand (I once spent an hour or so making a psychanalytic analisys about it :D) there's a reason why all my avatars anywhere are of him. I guess you spoiled a bit Nick. D;

Anyway, I've never read Rave before (purelly out of lazyness as it's been on my list for god knows how long) but Fairy Tail has so many references to it that I wonder if it don't just takes part on an FT alternate universe like Edolas. Or maybe Hiro just likes promoting his older works.
