Frieren is a fine anime, but both it and FMA are wildly overrated. They're both popular shonen anime with cool action sequences and are both mainstream enough to not be offputting for general audiences. They're pretty much designed to be popular and accessible, but that degree of accessibility also makes them somewhat bland.
FMA??? BLAND??? Did you even watch it???
I saw both FMA and Brotherhood when they were airing. They're both fine. Just not particularly complex or notable. I dunno what to tell you. I like Princess Tutu and Monster. Those are examples of "not bland" anime.
