Once upon a time, two brothers passed the happy days of their childhood by studying alchemy, which is governed by the equal transfer principle: an eye for an eye -- you can't get more than you give. But these brothers tried to defy that law, and a horrific accident resulted. Now, the older brother, Edward, is called the Full Metal Alchemist because of his metal limbs, and the younger, Alphonse, is a soul without a body, trapped within the confines of an automaton. Together they search for the power to restore themselves, to find the lives they lost so long ago...

The two shows share alot in common visually and both shows heavily focus a military thats conducting human experiments in turning humans into weapons.
Tone wise, the shows are very similar as well. Both of have a similar blend of drama/tragedy and really try to tug at your heart strings the whole time. FullMetal Alchemist has more action, while Xamd has more feel good moments.
X-men is basically an American shounen action series. X-men is aimed at the exact same demographic as shounen action and shounen action shows are always about a group of people with superhuman powers (Alchemy) similar to X-men. So if you like shounen action anime or X-men you should check out the other.

Both of these great anime are about different sorts of magic. They are both very humorous and have similar character characteristics. They both have a character with a very bad temper... Both of these anime are funny and i would strongly reccomend them. I enjoyed both of these anime very much and I think you will too.
