Fullmetal Alchemist

Age View:  I think it would be 15+

 FullMetal Alchemist is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Hiromu Arakawa.

The first TV Anime was Directed by Seiji Mizushima and Written by Shō Aikawa.

After losing their mother, Alphonse and Edward Elric attempt to bring her back using the forbidden science of human alchemy. However, alchemy operates on the theory of equivalent trade, and breaking the human alchemy taboo carries a heavy price. Ed loses his leg, and Al loses his body. Ed is able to seal Al's soul inside of a huge suit of armor, at the cost of his arm. Years later, Ed (now with two mechanical limbs) and Al (still trapped in the armor) leave their childhood home, each brother concerned with the other's happiness. Ed, who has a natural talent and skill for alchemy, becomes nationally certified and is soon known everywhere as the "Fullmetal Alchemist." Their true objective is to search for any information on the fabled Philosopher's Stone, hoping it will allow them to regain their old bodies. All of their hopes rest with this mythical stone, which may not even exist at all. However, the brothers soon learn that they are not the only ones after the powerful stone.

FMA VS  FMA Brotherhood

Who is the Winner?

The right answer is :

Both are Winners

Both anime are great and cool anime to watch because it has its original story and all the adventure and action you can't find it in any other story. So both are winners.

If you watched the 1st anime and started to watch to 2nd anime you will notice that the story starts the same!

well you might think!!! is it the same thing?! the answer is "No" both start similar but then after few episodes the story takes a different turn :)

I have watched both anime and i found the 1st one to be more serious and the ending was ok.

But i really enjoyed the 2nd one because it was funny and the story was much clearer in the 2nd compared to the 1st one.

Fullmetal Alchemist is one of the best anime i have watched so far and i will definitely watch it again when i crave some anime action ^_^
