The story of Edward and Alphonse Elric is a powerful one. With their father gone and their mother dead the brothers attempt a human transmutation through the use of alchemy (The leading scientific practice in their universe) to bring her back to life, unfortunately things go horribly wrong. Edward loses his arm and leg, and Alphonse loses his whole body, which forces Edward to bind Alphonse's soul to a suit of armor. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is about their journey to restore their bodies to normal, and all the terrible secrets about both alchemy and their world that they discover along their way.

The show itself is a five star masterpiece, but unfortunetly at this time I must rate a four stars because amazon only has half of the episodes available right now Also if you enjoy this I would highly recommend The Original Fullmetal Alchemist series which has its own story and doesn't follow the manga like Brotherhood does.The premise is much the same (Ed and Al are horribly disfigured in an attempt to bring back their mother and seek to restore their bodies) but be warned the continuity between the two regarding several people, and events is very different.

Disregard for alchemy's laws ripped half of Ed Elric's limbs from his body and left Al's soul clinging to a suit of. S1 - Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (Dub). Linkin park hybrid theory ep.
