The series is primarily dealing with the two adolescents: Edward Elric and Alphonse Elric. Starting off a bit slow, the series brings to you their past events and also current events that leads to their status' as human beings. To be quite honest they have pretty much hit rock bottom, having committed taboo; loosing parts of their bodies, Alphonse's whole body; no parents...my lord, it's just to much to handle. The series shows these events in a unique, if I may say in a 'Spicy' manner.
Though having a troublesome life, the Elric Brothers are near supreme in a technique called Alchemy (the reconstructing of chemicals into any specific shape or form). Most alchemists have to use a "transmutation circle" to use any form of reconstruction, yet the Edward can use alchemy with out the use of such. This brings him his name "Fullmetal Alchemist."
Aside from the basics the plot is pretty much a rollercoaster, it changes all the time because of events that take place in the series. This is what I thought was so unique to Brotherhood compared to any other series. Interchanging plots are hard to come by, it puts enjoyment to a whole new level.
Referring to anymore of the story would just spoil what this series becomes. But what I can say is this alternating plot brings in the exquisite fun that the characters get to handle. New characters get brought in, characters change sides, even characters that have no damn idea what they are doing. This has a huge impact on the viewer, you will never know who to like. Honestly, it's a ton of fun.
Now for the artsy side of the series. The music is definitely well composed, Akira Senju really out did himself this time. Every piece is used as fluently as possible, it'll be something new viewers should look forward too. The animation...okay, well this probably the only downer. Sorry to tell you, but the art just isn't the best. A little goofy looking at time, sometime the hair doesn't fully suit where the place of the head is, just a lot of stuff. But it isn't dreadful! It's honestly good for what it is and it is based on the way Hiromu Arakawa drew the manga. For the initial art not being at its finest, the actions and motions are eloquently done, no doubts there.
But as a conclusion this Anime is worth the time, with all it's elements and new frontiers, nothing can go wrong! If you are going to go on and watch the series, you are going to have a blast. And if you're not, that is your own opinion. But anyway, I hope all you viewers take this Anime in consideration, Thank you for reading!
