Full Metal Alchemist In this world, there exists people with special abilities to manipulate objects and transform one object into another. These people are known as alchemists. This process does come with a cost though, the basic law of alchemy states that to gain something you have to sacrifice something of the same value.
The main character is the famous alchemist Edward Elric - also known as the Fullmetal Alchemist - who almost lost his little brother, Alphonse, in an accident. Edward managed to contain his brother's soul in a large suit of armor. While he did manage to save his brother's life, he had to pay a great price himself.
To get back what they've lost, the brothers embark on a journey to find the Philosophers Stone that is said to amplify the powers of an alchemist enormously. Feel Free to discus the anime, but please do not post spoilers unless you put "spoilers:" and then the spoiler in white. Please do not ruin it for people who haven't seen it yet!

Characters:Edward Elric: The main protagonist, Edward ("Ed") Elric is the titular Fullmetal Alchemist, though Al is occasionally mistaken for him because of his armored body. He has a prosthetic automail arm and leg, is of short stature, and typically reacts in an exaggerated manner to any remarks about his height. He is known for being the youngest State Alchemist.Alphonse Elric: Alphonse, often nicknamed Al, is Fullmetal Alchemist's secondary protagonist; he is Edward's younger brother. For most of the series his soul is trapped in a large suit of armor, causing other characters throughout the series to confuse Al for the "Fullmetal" Alchemist. Alphonse is the calmer of the two, and can be seen as a foil to Edward's character.Winry Rockbell: Winry is a mechanical expert who is a childhood friend of the Elrics. She, along with her grandmother Pinako, built Edward's automail, and she also helps maintain the automail when it gets broken. Her parents served as impartial doctors during the Ishbal rebellion, but were killed. Colonel Roy Mustang: Roy Mustang is known as the Flame Alchemist. His gloves are made of a special material, called ignition cloth, which allows him to create a spark by snapping his fingers. He then uses alchemy to change the oxygen density in the air with the help of transmutation circles on his gloves, causing a controlled explosion. He is Edward's direct superior officer in the military, but has his own goals and intentions in mind. His main goal is to become the Führer, the leader of the military.Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye: A hard-working member of the state military, and a loyal, capable aide to her superior officer, Roy Mustang. She is especially proficient in the use of firearms. Lt. Colonel Maes Hughes: A member of the Investigations Division and a good friend of Colonel Mustang and the Elric brothers. He wishes to push Mustang up to the position of Führer by working closely under him. Hughes loves his wife, Gracia, and is overly enthusiastic regarding his love for his daughter Elicia. Scar: One of the few surviving Ishbalans. His real name is never revealed, but he is referred to as "Scar" because of the X-shaped scar on his forehead. Scar's right arm, which is tattooed with a rare transmutation circle, was given to him by his brother shortly before he died. He believes himself to be an instrument of God, and kills State Alchemists using his alchemical skills. King Bradley: Known as the Führer, he is the military dictator of Amestris, holding the official political title of president (King is his first name). Although he seems to be quite easy-going and perhaps a little eccentric, he has a mind like a steel trap, and maintaining Amestris is his chief priority at all times. He is also renowned as an exceptional swordsman.Lust: Sultry and cool-hearted, she is the first of the Homunculi encountered in the series. She has the power to extend her fingers into lances in the blink of an eye to use as a weapon, and is thus known in some translations as the 'Ultimate Lance'.Gluttony:A large figure who eats anything he can get his hands on, including humans and inanimate objects. He latches on to Lust like a child to his parent.Envy: Sarcastic, sadistic, and cold-hearted, Envy has the ability to change appearance. He hates mankind, viewing them as pitiful and weak.

Doing it backwards can be good sometimes! That way you don't sit there and get upset over them leaving out your favorite parts from the manga and what not. 3nodding
