Story
Retelling of the story and following more closely to the manga series. Brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric hoped to resurrect their mother’s corpse when they attempted human transmutation, but their reckless defiance of alchemy’s Law of Equivalent Exchange resulted in no miraculous reunion. Their experimentation with forbidden science plunged the boys into a hellish nightmare; half of Ed’s limbs were torn from his body, and Al awoke to discover his young soul transferred to a suit of armor. There is but one way the Elrics can restore what was lost - find the fabled Philosopher’s Stone. In a land marred by war and persecution, where truth comes only with tragedy, they undertake their desperate search. Every step closer to the mythical Philosopher’s Stone brings the broken brothers deeper into the darkest shadows of reality. Sinful abominations, both unnatural and human, will try to keep the boys from their redemption - but the Elrics must forge ahead if despair is to be transmuted into peace. (Source: Funimation, AniDB)
Quick thoughts: The anime and manga has finally come to the end. We finally get to see the final chapter of this series animated and it was great to watch. I remembered that I started to get into this series after watching the movie Fullmetal Alchemist: Conqueror of Shamballa. I saw the movie, loved it, and quickly grabbed a copy of the manga and I started to catch up with the anime and manga series. Also, this is one of the earliest manga series that I have ever read. But when I heard the news that there was going to be a new season of FMA and it was going to follow more closely to the original story. I got even more excited about this revamped version. However, Fullmetal helped me opened my eyes to read other mangas and watch other animations that were out there. This series has an intriguing and well written story. As well as, tons of unique characters that had interesting personalities and background story. I tip my hat to Arakawa-sensei for creating such an epic series. I had enjoyed watching the Elric brother's journey of accomplishing their goal to restore Alphonse's original body and Edward's arm and leg. While on their journey, they have faced Homunculus and all the evils in the world and yet, there are still able to fight through till the end. This series is definitely on top my favorite manga and anime list.
