FMA and Dr. Faustus?

I just saw the first episode of Full Metal Alchemist tonight, and a lot of the themes seem similar to that of Christopher Marlow's "The Tragedy of Doctor Faustus." The alchemy, the necromancy (necromancy is bringing the dead back to life. It's a similar branch of, although a sperate, science), and the references to the seven deadly sins as people. Anyone else agree?

(Sorry if I did this wrong...I'm new. )
