No, FMA isn't really shounen action is the normal sense, but it's close enough that I feel relatively justified counting it(unlike, say, Death Note or Ai Yori Aoshim both of which are shounen, but not remotely shounen action.) I'm curious, though, as to why they wouldn't count Saiyuki. It's not the normal type of shounen action, but has th normal stuff(especially the semi-aimless plot, the strong theme of friendship, and the not-really-enemies.)
