   Fullmetal Alchemist Review
Short Summary: Edward and Alphonse Elric are two normal brothers until their mother dies of an unknown ailment. Ed and Al's father was an alchemist, and all over his library are books on the subject. The forbidden portion of alchemy, human transmutation, can also be found there. The two brothers, ignorant of the consequences, try to bring their mother back to life. The sacrifice wasn't enough. Ed lost his leg while Al was sucked up into a mysterious gate and lost his entire body. Al woke up in what seemed to be only seconds later to find he was encased in a giant suit of armor. He didn't feel a body inside. Ed had no arm or leg, and he was dying. The attempt at resurrection was on the other side of the room. It was hideously deformed. Ed didn't die, however. He got automail (prosthetic limbs) and swore to his brother that he would get their bodies back to normal, no matter what it would take. But what was he to sacrifice now?

Animation: 10
Script: 8.6
Voiceover: 9
Price: 10
Overall Rating: Excellent

Why I like it: It's really well-done. I almost feel like I'm watching a movie! The graphics are beautiful, and I LOVE all the character voices. There's a good balance of drama, thriller, and comedy in this series. To me, FMA is the perfect anime. New episodes come on air this Saturday on Adult Swim. I can't wait until the movie comes out in America!
