The rules of alchemy state that to gain something, one must lose something of equal value. Alchemy is the process of taking apart and reconstructing an object into a different entity, with the rules of alchemy to govern this procedure. However, there exists an object that can bring any alchemist above these rules, the object known as the Philosopher's Stone. The young Edward Elric is a particularly talented alchemist who through an accident years back lost his younger brother Alphonse and one of his legs. Sacrificing one of his arms as well, he used alchemy to bind his brother's soul to a suit of armor. This lead to the beginning of their journey to restore their bodies, in search for the legendary Philosopher's Stone. Note: Episodes 11, 12 and 37 were adapted from the light novel "Fullmetal Alchemist: The Land of Sand."

I make it no secret that I am very much a fan of Fullmetal Alchemist. I am one of the few owners of the rare Blu-Ray set, so nice I bought it twice, not just any release of it, but the special edition release that comes with a postcard collection (not quite insane enough to get the big boy ultimate…
Read full review on AniList →#~~~Fullmetal Alchemist (2003)~~~ From what I have seen, this is a show that goes rather untalked about because of the huge shadow Brotherhood has cast over it. And to my dismay, time and time again I see people who love Brotherhood, who either where unaware of its predessesor or just choose to igno…

### ___Fullmetal Alchemist (2003),___ is amazing, it has staying power. It looks beautiful, sounds great and tells a story while not being canon, feels like you could slot it right in, like it's an alternate universe.

Read full review on AniList →If there's one thing that I can be certain on, it's that Fullmetal Alchemist 2003 still remains a staple of anime classics. As someone who grew up with this version despite preferring Brotherhood, give 2003 a chance and don't overlook its strong sense of character building and atmospheric tension.…

Read full review on AniList →_____ INTRO Ah, the OG Fullmetal Alchemist. This one truly is an anomaly in the industry, it sets up a lot of standards for its genre in all THE fronts, while also being a stern example of a lot of things which should be avoided. Well, this is the reason why there's such a divide within the FMA fand…

Read full review on AniList →This review has been _one year_ in the making, and made possible by my trusty notes. Watched this last year (Feb. 2024), but y'know: _procrastination_.

Read full review on AniList →The anime should be a 10/10 but the abysmal pacing of the show puts it at 7/10. Imagine that you're a dog and it's dinner time. You run up to the kitchen only to find your bowl completely empty. You look up at your owner thinking "what's the deal here?". Turns out your owner decided to play a littl…
