About Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, based on Hiromu Arakawa's manga, follows brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric in a world where alchemy — transforming matter according to the law of Equivalent Exchange — is a rigorous science. As children, the brothers break alchemy's greatest taboo by attempting to resurrect their dead mother. The ritual fails catastrophically: Edward loses an arm and a leg, and Alphonse loses his entire body, his soul bound to a suit of armor. To restore what they lost, Edward becomes a State Alchemist, the 'Fullmetal Alchemist,' and the brothers hunt for the fabled Philosopher's Stone.
Their search pulls them into a national conspiracy involving the military state of Amestris, a cabal of near-immortal Homunculi named after the seven deadly sins, and a shadowy figure known only as Father. Widely regarded as one of the greatest anime ever made, Brotherhood weaves together political intrigue, war crimes, faith, and sacrifice while never losing sight of its central question: what price is a human life truly worth? Because it follows the manga completely, it delivers a fully satisfying, self-contained story.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Fun Facts
- Creator Hiromu Arakawa grew up on a farm in Hokkaido and famously draws herself as a cow in author notes.
- There are two anime adaptations: the 2003 series, which diverged into its own original ending, and 2009's Brotherhood, which follows the manga faithfully.
- The Homunculi are each named after one of the seven deadly sins, and their personalities embody those sins.
- 'Equivalent Exchange' — that to gain something, something of equal value must be lost — is the moral and magical backbone of the entire story.
- The brothers' failed human transmutation costs them dearly and sends them to meet 'Truth' at the Gate, a scene that defines the series' themes.
