How do you guys enjoy anime? I just don't get it. I've tried watching FMA and so far it has an interesting premise but what tension has built up is torn away to make an "Ed is SHORT" gag. I've been seeing this throughout the anime I've watched, relatively new but still. It's annoying that the animes I've watched have these dumb gags during what's supposed to be a serious arc.

Am I just watching the wrong anime? If so, what can you guys suggest me?
