Synopsis
## Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
*Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood* is consistently ranked among the greatest anime ever made and holds the highest score on MyAnimeList for years.
Edward and Alphonse Elric attempted the forbidden art of human transmutation to bring back their deceased mother — and paid a terrible price. Edward lost his left leg and right arm; Alphonse lost his entire body, his soul bound to a suit of armor. Now Edward is a State Alchemist, searching with his brother for the Philosopher's Stone — a legendary artifact said to amplify alchemical power without equivalent exchange. But their search draws them into a vast conspiracy that threatens the entire nation of Amestris and reveals dark secrets about the country's foundation. Brotherhood is a masterclass in plotting, character development, and thematic depth, exploring the costs of power, war, and the meaning of sacrifice.
