Synopsis: Fullmetal Alchemist - Vol. 1: The Curse (2004)
Synopis: The action anime series FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST explores epic themes of hubris, personal transformation, and spiritual quests through the tragic story of two grievously wounded siblings. While attempting to resurrect their dead mother through the forbidden art of alchemy, brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric suffer a terrible accident that severs two of Edward's limbs and traps Alphonse within a suit of armor. In a desperate bid at healing their injuries, Eric joins the state army with the hope that his travels will help him discover the fabled Philosopher's Stone, a mythic artifact with the power to restore life. FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST chronicles the brothers' dangerous journeys through an innovative blend of action, science-fiction, and drama, captured here in this collection of the series' first episodes.Features: Fullmetal Alchemist - Vol. 1: The Curse (2004)

Pros: Fun, Original, Something for everyone
Cons: None
This is, by far, one of the best Animes I have ever watched. It outdid Cowboy Bebop. The story revolves around the idea that the science of Alchemy evolved instead of Physics and Chemistry.
The story is about two young boys who are Alchemical geniuses (especially the older one, Edward Elric). These two children attempt the forbidden and make huge sacrifices because of it. They proceed to demolish common ideas and outpace other alchemists many years older than them.
The story is bittersweet, but it's action packed, full of original ideas, wonderful research into the history of Alchemy, and contains just enough humor to keep you from hating the series due to its dark undertone.
The voice talents are wonderful! Vic, Travis, Colleen & the rest of the crew are unbelievable!
Once you start, you will be completely addicted and (if you're anything like me) will end up watching the series straight through to the movie & end up branching out to the Mangas & other paraphernalia! It's a must for any anime fan!
Highly recommended - you will not be disappointed! ...
