Plots(1)
Alchemy the mystic science of transmutation. Gifted alchemists can break down and reconstruct matter using the Law of Equivalent Exchange, creating miraculous things. But one taboo can never be broken - human transmutation. The Elric brothers Edward and Alphonse broke the taboo in an attempt to resurrect their late mother and as a result, lost everything. Al's soul was transferred to a suit of living armor and Ed lost two limbs, confining him to mechanical auto-mail. To recover what they ve lost they embarked on a journey to find the fabled Philosopher's Stone. The closer they get to the hidden truth of the Philosopher's Stone, the deeper they fall under shadowy schemes and the perils of unnatural creatures. The military nation of Amestris, the grudges and hatreds of a persecuted people, and the countless tragedies caused by alchemy all form a dark vortex that will draw people and countries into its void. The Elric brothers forge ahead in their quest to transmute despair into hope. (Manga Home Entertainment)

One is everything and everything is one. When the original Alchemist ended with a spectacular final film, deviating from the literary source, the whole series became an unforgettable fantasy ride and one of the best animes I have ever seen. Everything seemed closed, going through the whole story again with a different ending and a few new characters seemed unnecessary to me. However, the first episode of Brotherhood eventually ended up in the player and then another one. And another one. There was no turning back. The new perspective on the Elric brothers, homunculi, Central, or even the whole Amestris is grander and, above all, more complex. Father and the whole plot with the promised day is exactly what the original series lacked as one of the few things. And as I devoured the final ten episodes and every twist, even the smallest one, left me with my mouth open exactly where the creators wanted to take me, I realized that this was the anime I had been waiting for all this time. Epic fantasy, sincere confessions, breathtaking action, and captivating soundtrack. There is no mood in which I don't feel like watching at least one episode. Anime no. 1.
