| 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.

pros
+ nice storyline with both action and drama that includes some twists, not to mention follows the manga more closely than the original fma
+ well done chara backstories + development
+ great music
cons
- earlier eps are hard to follow if you're completely new to the series (started this off, didn't get what was going on, read the manga, came back, and suddenly understood.... lol)
- rather simple-minded here or there, very very random villain
- pace and artwork aren't always consistent... but that's minor
conclusion: a pretty good watch among all the famous shounen, keeps you hooked with a mixture of action and drama, and its comedy doesn't ridicule the charas. also explains a lot more of the background from the original fma. personally, i like this better than the original version, but a lot of people might not agree with me there.
peace.
