Plot 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.

Now this is an anime to be remembered, the first part of Full Metal Alchemist ended on a high note, and then there was the movie. I didn’t know there was a full series that was going to be released, and it was even better then the first part. Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood picked up where the first one ended and there were some filler episodes to help people remember what was going on. Then it just went into a crazy plot where they are fighting the homunculi while trying to find the cure for their bodies, they start uncovering a deep story and plot related to the character called “Father”. Even with all the odds against them they team up with people they have met over their lives to try to fight this insane foe. I can’t describe how good the story was but if you have any inkling for anime this should be at the top of the list.
