Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (or FMA Brotherhood) is an anime television series that follows the story of the Fullmetal Alchemist manga. The series is set in an alternate world where alchemy is a powerful scientific technique. The brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric practice alchemy and attempted a forbidden technique known as human transmutation to bring their dead mother back to life. Instead of successfully resurrecting their mother, the experiment goes horribly wrong. Edward loses a leg and gives up his right arm in order to save his brother by sending Alphone's soul into a suit of armor. The only way for them to restore their bodies is to find the legendary Philosopher's Stone- a fabled stone with great power for an alchemist. They must roam a land full of war and suffering in a desperate attempt to get the stone and ultimately keep it away from those who wish to use it for harm. They meet many strange insidious characters on their journey who will do whatever it takes to gain the power that comes from the stone, but the brothers must forge ahead if they wish to ease the despair of their world. The anime series was originally released in Japan and has since been released with an English dub. MORE
