What can I say? This is one badass anime. Transforming stuff? Break things down and rebuild it into sometime more awesome?
Well, the story revolves around 2 young boys. They aren't your regular joes, they are alchemists. "An alchemist can be defined as a profession/person that practices alchemy which is the quest of searching for a way in which to turn copper and other metals into gold." Wait. They aren't just regular alchemists.. that would be boring. They got their nickname, Fullmetal Alchemist for a reason.
Edward(older brother) and his younger brother, Alphonse are missing some parts. Edward missing one hand, a leg and Alphonse missing his whole body!
Edward replaces them with mechanical limbs while Alphonse's soul is controlling a suit of armor.
So the two goes on this crazy adventures battling bad guys. I don't want to ruin it for ya, of course.
