When Edward and Alphonse were kids there father went leaving their mother Trisha Elric to look after them. In the main time these two brother learn chemistry behind alchemy from their fathers notes. One day after coming home from playing with their childhood friend Winry Rockbell the Elric brother witness a very devastation sight of their mothers death. After this they end up committing a crime which was forbid in Alchemy. In attempts to revive their mother Edward ends up losing an arm and a leg and alphonse ends up losing his entire body leaving his sole into a robotic like/knight armour. The military find out of his crime and instead of arresting them they plan to train them into becoming soldiers and find away to bring their bodies back.

The anime's story just takes me on journey which is not only touching but at the same time an adventure within the 51 episode count. While it may not be like the manga which is why brotherhood exists. I still enjoy it for what it is on its own merit.

The voice cast is excellent Vic Mignogna put his heart and soul into the role of Ed and I honestly don't think anyone else would have had the same impact on me if it were someone else. With of course Aaron Dismuke giving an excellent performance as Alphonse who was 12 at the time when he was recording this. He not only sounds like adolescent boy but at the same time it made certain scenes look feel realistic. I am so glad this kid never left voice acting it's definitely the best role of his career. The rest of the cast were also pretty good.

The music, the animation and everything else was excellent as well.
