How to Get Someone into FMA as Strangely as Possible

This silly post is inspired by a friend of mine.

On New Year's Eve, we were hanging around my apartment talking about our various interests and watching stupid YouTube videos. Somehow, the topic of anime came up, despite the fact that my friend isn't an anime fan.

I had been waiting for the moment when I could tell her about the Fullmetal Alchemist manga. I had rehearsed in my head how I'd pitch it to her. Here's what I said to her about FMA: It's about a double amputee and a suit of armor. They're brothers! Then I went on about how they use alchemy and battle the seven deadly sins personified.

Believe it or not, she was intrigued.

I wrote the manga's name down for her and she checked some volumes out of the library. Unfortunately, she hasn't gotten to far due to her hectic life. I hope she likes the series and that I didn't oversell it. If she does like it, then I can show her all the stupid FMA YouTube videos I found.
