Full Metal Alchemist

A person cannot gain anything without sacrifices. One must present something of equivalent value, to gain something. This is the basic law of equivalent trade, and the nature of alchemy. Edward & Alphonse Elric are two brothers, whose attempt to revive their deceased mother went terribly wrong. That was the moment they created a disaster, a Homunculus. A creature born out of a mistake, while one attempts human transmutation. After the horrid incidence, Edward lost his right arm as a sacrifice and left leg in order to seal his brother's soul into an armour suit. Ahead of the two lie unpredictable adventures, new faces to meet, and new enemies to encounter. On the day the two set out on an awaited journey, Ed & Al burned down their house. Their main objective was to get ahold of the "Philosopher's stone". A stone which has the ability to transmute objects without the need to sacrifice something in return. The series was quite sad, as the two brothers lost many close friends to them. Such characters like Nina, a young girl was inhumanely transmuted into a chimera, and killed by Scar in a horrid way. There was also Lieutenant Hughes, who was killed by Sloth. Hughes' incident occured after he tapped into the secrets of Sloth, who was linked to one of the Honmunculus, 'Pride'. There were many dark secrets aswell as twists and turns in the series. They were unraveled after many different incidents, which were closely related to the Homunculi.

Full Metal Alchemist is a highly rated series, and I totally recommend you watch it, if you haven't yet. Not only is it unpredictable, it's also one of the best anime series you'll ever see. I rate this anime 5/5 stars.
