FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST APPRECIATION POST

Hi again :)

 It's been a while since the last time I wrote about anime, right? 

Yesterday I thought about Fullmetal Alchemist for some random reason, and now here's the post.

 Fullmetal Alchemist (鋼の錬金術師), is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Hiromu Arakawa. The world of Fullmetal Alchemist is styled after the European Industrial Revolution. Set in a fictional universe in which alchemy is one of the most advanced scientific techniques known to man, the story follows the brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric, who want to find the  Philosopher's Stone and use it to restore their bodies after a disastrous failed attempt to bring their mother back to life through alchemy.

 Their father, Van Hohenheim, left home for unknown reasons and years later, their mother, Trisha Elric died of a terminal illness, leaving them alone. After that, Edward became determined to bring her back. They researched Human Transmutation, a forbidden art in which one attempts to create or modify a human being. However, this attempt failed, ultimately resulting in the loss of Edward's left leg and Alphonse's entire body. In a desperate effort to save his brother, Edward sacrificed his right arm to affix Alphonse's soul to a suit of armor. Some days later, an alchemist named Roy Mustang visited the Elric brothers, and proposed that Edward become a State Alchemist of the country in exchange for more research materials to find a way to recover their bodies. After that, Edward's left leg and right arm were replaced with automail, a type of advanced prosthetic limb, created for him by his close family friends Winry Rockbell and her grandmother Pinako.
