Full Metal Alchemist
[u]Synopsis
Edward and Alphonse Elric are two alchemist brothers searching for the legendary catalyst called the Philosopher's Stone, a powerful object which would allow them to recover their bodies (which were lost in an attempt to bring their mother back to life through alchemy). Born in the village of Resembool from the country of Amestris (アメストリス Amesutorisu?), the two brothers lived there with their mother. Their father, Van Hohenheim, left home for unknown reasons and years later, their mother Trisha Elric died of a terminal illness, leaving the Elric brothers alone. After their mother's death, Edward became determined to bring her back through the use of alchemy, an advanced science in which objects can be created from raw materials. They researched Human Transmutation, a forbidden art in which one attempts to create or modify a human being. However, this attempt failed, ultimately resulting in the loss of Edward's left leg, and Alphonse's entire body. In a desperate effort to save his brother, Edward sacrificed his right arm to affix Alphonse's soul to a suit of armor. Some days later, an alchemist named Roy Mustang visited the Elric brothers, and told Edward to become a member of the State Military of the country to find a way to recover their bodies. After that, Edward's left leg and right arm were replaced with automail, a type of advanced prosthetic limb, created for him by his close family friends Winry Rockbell and her grandmother Pinako.
Review
Fullmetal Alchemist is the first anime I ever watched, this amazing storyline involved me so deeply that after I finished this anime I found reality unrealistic. The storyline although seems to be so out of this world is explained so well that you will find yourself wondering why the fuck can i not do alchemy. However it does seem that nearing the end of the anime a lot of information was left out when you see the final episode it leaves you wanting more this is my only problem with this anime. Now the visual effects, during the start of this anime it seemed to be very simple and easy on the eyes but as the anime goes on the drawing and features seems to become dark and sinister. Of course these drawings go along with the way the story line goes. This anime is a Fantasy/action/mild-romance anime that also has much comical value to it much like most good anime they combine a light hearted innocents of young kids and mix it with murder, blood, gore and magic making this anime incredible. However I do find the fact that many parts of this anime become unexplained. However apart from this the anime is perfect.
Ratting:9/10
Recommended Audience: Although some scenes in this anime might frighten young kids i deem this suitable for all anime lovers.
