Anime Description: Fullmetal Alchemist
"Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is Alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one and only truth." - Alphonse Elric (play clip)
It is the early 20th century in an alternate universe: one where Alchemy exists. Alchemy, the science of acting on the basic structure of the world, breaking things down and then reshaping them as desired. Almost anything is possible for an alchemist...provided the alchemist is willing to pay the price.
Edward Elric is just such an alchemist. While he and his brother Alphonse attempting to bring back their dearly departed mother, an accident occurs. Ed loses his leg, and Al... his life! Fortunately, Ed captures his brother's soul and commits it into a huge suit of armor...at the cost of his arm.
Time passes. Ed (now possessing prosthetic metal limbs) gains notoriety for his alchemy skills, earning his nickname, "Fullmetal Alchemist". Now, he and Al (still contained in that suit of armor) journey the world in search of the fabled Philosopher's Stone, the artifact Ed believes can help him to undo the damage wrought upon them and restore a full and happy life to both brothers.
In addition to the TV series and the movie, Fullmetal Alchemist: The Conqueror of Shambala, there are also 4 OVA episodes:
- Chibi Party
- Kids
- Live Action
- Rise of the Homunculi

I love this Animation series it is so cool.
I absolutely love Edward and his little brother Alphonse. Edward is soo funny whenever someone calls him short he gets mad. Winry's grandma calls Ed short look who's talking shes shorter than he is.
Remember that one guy that had a daughter named Nina well the funny part is she thought Alphonse was the big brother and Edward was the little. Ed got mad and Nina said if your the big brother shouldn't you be taller. Another thing is she calls Ed little big brother aw that's cute.
Its sad Nina died because her father used Nina and Nina's dog Alexander and turned them into a Chemara. (Sorry if spelled wrong) I liked Nina she was a cute girl and despite that she was only 5 years old how can any body do that to there own daughter >_< ... show more »
