Brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric live in a world where alchemy is possible, although governed by the law of Equivalent Exchange ("to obtain, something of equal value must be lost"). As young boys, the Elrics -- who showed promise in alchemy at an early age -- lost their mother, and in their grief, they attempted to bring her back to life via the forbidden practice of human transmutation.

  • Brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric live in a world where alchemy is possible, although governed by the law of Equivalent Exchange ("to obtain, something of equal value must be lost"). As young boys, the Elrics -- who showed promise in alchemy at an early age -- lost their mother, and in their grief, they attempted to bring her back to life via the forbidden practice of human transmutation. Ed and Al paid a steep price for their hubris: the former lost an arm and a leg (which were replaced with mechanical limbs), while the latter became a soul attached to an empty suit of armor. The Elrics seek to return their bodies to normal by pursuing the Philosopher's Stone, an artifact believed to allow alchemists to perform any form of alchemy (including human transmutation) without the necessary Equivalent Exchange. In order to make real progress in their search, Ed becomes a State Alchemist, working for the government to help solve their problems while he and Al research the Stone's existence. During their adventures, Ed and Al discover startling truths about their world, alchemy, the Philospher's Stone, their own family, and the forces working to manipulate the Elrics' search and lead them towards the Stone (for a much more sinister purpose than what the brothers have in mind). This show Overtook the Manga about halfway through its run, but rather than running numerous Filler episodes to make up for it, the anime's writers consulted with Hiromu Arakawa to craft a wholly different ending to the story. The approach makes this show is Pragmatic Adaptation, but one made with approval from (and the encouragement of) the original mangaka. A theatrical film -- Fullmetal Alchemist: The Conqueror of Shamballa -- resolved a number of plot threads left hanging after this show's conclusion. Fullmetal Alchemist can be watched in its entirety on Netflix, YouTube and Hulu.
