| Summary: |
After losing their mother, Alphonse and Edward Elric attempt to bring her back using the forbidden science of human alchemy. However, alchemy operates on the theory of equivalent trade, and breaking the human alchemy taboo carries a heavy price. Ed loses his leg, and Al loses his body. Ed is able to seal Al's soul inside of a huge suit of armor, at the cost of his arm. Years later, Ed (now with two mechanical limbs) and Al (still trapped in the armor) leave their childhood home, each brother concerned with the other's happiness. Ed, who has a natural talent and skill for alchemy, becomes nationally certified and is soon known everywhere as the "Fullmetal Alchemist." Their true objective is to search for any information on the fabled Philosopher's Stone, hoping it will allow them to regain their old bodies. All of their hopes rest with this mythical stone, which may not even exist at all. However, the brothers soon learn that they are not the only ones after the powerful stone. |

this anime is one of my favorites but fma brotherhood beats it and earns it's right as one of my top 5s. this fma anime starts off manga based then takes it's own route. the creater Hiromu Arakawa didn't want the anime to be like the manga in this anime. while i like the manga and brotherhood anime better this anime is still amazinga and it is still fma. i have bought the entire anime and all the mangas thus far and am currently awaiting the box set release of brotherhood anime in the u.s. this anime is a must see for any anime fan. full of determination, action, adventure, susense, mystery, love, sadness, comedy, and the occasional "short" joke. the characeters are easy to fall love with along with the story, music, and animation. this anime and it's follow up movie is a definate must see. so sit back an enjoy.
