The action anime series FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST explores epic themes of hubris, personal transformation, and spiritual quests through the tragic story of two grievously wounded siblings. While attempting to resurrect their dead mother through the forbidden art of alchemy, brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric suffer a terrible accident that severs two of Edward's limbs and traps Alphonse within a suit of armor. In a desperate bid at healing their injuries, Eric joins the state army with the hope that his travels will help him discover the fabled Philosopher's Stone, a mythic artifact with the power to restore life. FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST chronicles the brothers' dangerous journeys through an innovative blend of action, science-fiction, and drama, captured here in this collection of the series' first episodes. Less

Set two years after the final episode of the FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST TV series, this film picks up with Edward Elric's attempts to rediscover the alchemical powers that once he had, enabling him to return to his world. Stuck in the parallel realm of Earth, Elric has lost the powers that brought him here, but has taken up the study of rocketry in the hopes of regaining them. He is aided by Alphonse, a young man who bears a striking resemblance to the brother Elric left behind, and who now toils to find a way to join Elric. Less
