Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood – Complete Collection One

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

One of my favorite series of any genre, Fullmetal Alchemist is a great story of adventure, coming of age, brotherhood, and fantasy. While the title is changed, this is the Fullmetal Alchemist as it was originally intended to be. The original show differed from the original story as it was not complete when animation began. This story covers some of the first series in the beginning, but soon develops into the story it was meant to be. Vastly better in story, character, and conclusion, I cannot recommend this adventure enough.

If never seen before, this story is about two young alchemists who try to resurrect their beloved mother, and ended up paying a huge price for their mistake. Losing their limbs (Ed) and entire body (Al), they set out to seek a way to restore their bodies. They join the military of their country as they follow their trail, and learn that their country is hiding many dark secrets related to their quest. Desperate to find the strength they lack, to overcome their weaknesses and to be strong enough to help others, Ed and Al endeavor to uncover all the secrets and deeds of the military they serve. Themes of this story include family, coming of age, science/fantasy, humor, military, loyalty, artificial life and the ethics of scientific achievement. Animation, story board, and voice acting is all very well done, entertaining for teens and above.
