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. |

Whenever someone asks me what anime I'd recommend, without any hesitation I say Fullmetal Alchemist. This anime totally captivated me that I watch it in great concentration, not wanting to miss any word or action. The characters are well thought of and are memorable. Each episode is substantial, indispensable, and just makes you want to see the next one- immediately. I wouldn't be embarrassed to say I sacrificed sleep, skipped a few meals and cried several times for this. The dialogues are not always direct but they're always witty. I think it's safe to say this one isn't for young children. To watch FMA just for the sake of entertainment would be a waste. You need to think and feel to fully appreciate this show- and it's well worth it. Moving on to the animation, I would say top notch. The sequences are smooth and fluid, you won't go wondering whether they're out of budget or what. If you want something truly unique and intriguing, something that would play with your emotions and challenge your morals, this is your anime.
