Fullmetal Alchemist

Synopsis: Edward Elric, a brilliant young alchemist, has lost much in his twelve -year -old life: when he and his alphonse brother try to resurrect his dead mother through the forbidden act of human transmutation, Edward loses his brother and two of his members. With his supreme alchemy skills, Edward connects the soul of Alphonse to a large armor costume.

A year later, Edward, now promoted to the full alchemist of the state, embarks on a journey with his younger brother to obtain the philosopher's stone. It is rumored that the legendary mythical object is able to broaden the skills of an alchemist to leaps and bounds, allowing them to replace the fundamental law of alchemy: to gain something, an alchemist must sacrifice something of equal value. Edward hopes to attract the resources of the Armed Forces to find the legendary stone and restore his and Alphonse's bodies to normal. However, brothers Elric soon discover that there is more in legendary stone than the eyes, as they are taken to the epicenter of a much darker battle than it could ever have imagined.
