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.

By far one of the best series I've watched. The storyline is utterly amazing and clever. I just love how smart it is, how everything that exists and happens in the show fall into place, and how it ends in a (mostly) happy ending. Animation is really good as well. Funny, serious, and albeit sometimes pretty gory, but this goes to show that people actually lose more blood, unlike other anime. Totally worth your time. It's a great watch and you won't regret it!
