Plots(1)
Brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric hoped to resurrect their mother’s corpse when they attempted human transmutation, but their reckless defiance of alchemy’s Law of Equivalent Exchange resulted in no miraculous reunion. Their experimentation with forbidden science plunged the boys into a hellish nightmare; half of Ed’s limbs were torn from his body, and Al awoke to discover his young soul transferred to a suit of armor. There is but one way the Elrics can restore what was lost - find the fabled Philosopher’s Stone. In a land marred by war and persecution, where truth comes only with tragedy, they undertake their desperate search. Every step closer to the mythical Philosopher’s Stone brings the broken brothers deeper into the darkest shadows of reality. Sinful abominations, both unnatural and human, will try to keep the boys from their redemption - but the Elrics must forge ahead if despair is to be transmuted into peace. (Hulu)

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.
