Summary:
Two brothers lose their mother to an incurable disease. With the power of "alchemy", they use taboo knowledge to resurrect her. The process fails, and as a toll for using this type of alchemy, the older brother, Edward Elric loses his left leg while the younger brother, Alphonse Elric loses his entire body. To save his brother, Edward sacrifices his right arm and is able to affix his brother's soul to a suit of armor. With the help of a family friend, Edward receives metal limbs - "automail" - to replace his lost ones. With that, Edward vows to search for the Philosopher's Stone to return the brothers to their original bodies, even if it means becoming a "State Alchemist", one who uses his/her alchemy for the military.
Taking after it's manga counterpart, this version of the series is simply outstanding. With comic mischief, great art work and some of the most intense fights FMA: Brotherhood will make you want more. The first series was nice but compared to this one, well it's no where near the awesomeness of Brotherhood. The story is a bit more deeper. A must watch since I'm not a liberty to spoil anything for you xD
