| Summary: |
After losing their mother, Alphonse and Edward Elric attempt to bring her back using the forbidden science of human alchemy. However, alchemy operates on the theory of equivalent trade, and breaking the human alchemy taboo carries a heavy price. Ed loses his leg, and Al loses his body. Ed is able to seal Al's soul inside of a huge suit of armor, at the cost of his arm. Years later, Ed (now with two mechanical limbs) and Al (still trapped in the armor) leave their childhood home, each brother concerned with the other's happiness. Ed, who has a natural talent and skill for alchemy, becomes nationally certified and is soon known everywhere as the "Fullmetal Alchemist." Their true objective is to search for any information on the fabled Philosopher's Stone, hoping it will allow them to regain their old bodies. All of their hopes rest with this mythical stone, which may not even exist at all. However, the brothers soon learn that they are not the only ones after the powerful stone. |

As stated in the title this anime is really good for people who haven't read the manga it has a very good story and interesting characters however I didn't find the dialogue to be amazing and the series didn't really entertain me as much as the mange did.
And although I didn't mean this review to turn out this way I know that I'm going to end up comparing FMA to FMAB. Because I honestly just think that FMAB is an improved version of FMA I loved absolutely everything about FMAB I even loved how bad ass and creepy and evil the villains were as in FMA I simply liked it.
Don't get me wrong FMA is a really good anime especially if you haven't read the manga but I think if you are going to watch FMA then watch FMAB afterwards just to see the difference because you might be like me and think that FMAB is better or you might think FMA is better because it really is a good series.
