completely DEAD. I mean there's no one ever around, esp towards the end! It's like it's a ghost city or smth!

They also tend to forget to animate the background movement sometimes.

Well when there's an *insurrection* taking place on the streets, I'd imagine that most people would stay at home.

There seems to be quite a few people around. There is an episode when Ed and Al are trying to lure Scar to them by performing lots of 'alchemy miracles' of all sorts, and you can see crowds gathering around them.

I just think tat Armestris is not densely populated on a whole; troops gather around the borders (together with a major part of the industry, etc)which is crucial to defending the country against the enemies, and then the rest of the population is spread across the country in tiny villages like Risembool. Central still seems quite lively.

Maybe sometimes, othertimes unnaturally not so. Then again I didn't keep records or anything, just noticed a couple of times

I think the factor is that they did not concentrate on background really, only when needed (like when people started passing out during the eclipse).
