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.
I wasn't really sure what to say when people asked me what is the best anime for me.
I was unsure. How can I pick only one? In every series there is something special. Now, however, when watched FMA Brotherhood I'm 100% positive. This is THE BEST ANIME I'VE EVER WATCHED!
With the first series(FMA) which drove me into really bad mood and now with this really peacfull ending of FMA Brotherhood I can really cross other candidates for Number One from my list. Ha! I've just ended the series yet I feel like watching it again.
Be sure to watch and understand FullMetal Alchemist and FullMetal Alechemist Brotherhood. That thing grips you and grabs your heart. Stay alarmed. It can even eat you.
