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'll be honest and admit that I only made it through the first three episodes before giving up. With the original FMA in the back of my mind, it felt like every episode of brotherhood I watched violated the good memories I have of Edward and Al. The timeline was off and the characters acted differently. I'm sure that those who watch brotherhood without seeing the first anime will enjoy it, but my recommendation is that, if you're going to take the time to download an anime, rather get the original.
