Fullmetal Alchemist, Volume 1: The Curse (Episodes 1-4)


It is easy to understand why FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST has regularly supplemented viewer polls in Japan since its debut in 2003: the fantasy-adventure by director Seiji Mizushima (Generator Gawl) offers a good mix of comedy Slapstick, exciting adventure, and the real heat. Young Edward and Alphonse Elric go into forbidden knowledge when they use alchemy to try to their mother back from the dead - and pay a terrible price on the basis of the principle of "equal trade." Al becomes a disembodied soul in a suit of armor; Ed loses an arm and a leg, but later receives mechanical prostheses. The brothers walk through a world resembling the late 19th century Europe in search of the legendary philosopher's stone, which they believe can restore their bodies. Unlike the American programs juxtaposing smart-aleck humor and heavy-handed sermonizing, FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST has real heart. Neither the comedy nor the action off at the bond between the brothers, that is the emotional core of the series. (Rated TV PG: violence, alcohol use) - Charles Solomon
Edward Elric changed the night he caught his younger brother of the spirit in the unfeeling steel of an old suit of armor. That night, Edward and Alphonse exploited the clandestine science of Alchemy to try the unthinkable-back on their dead mother. They failed, unleashing an alchemic reaction that ripped their bodies apart. Four years later, an extension of evil lurks behind the false face of freedom. With rebellion crushed, the state shows its view to extending its grip on the people by seizing a legendary treasure that would ensure complete domination and throw the country into state-controlled darkness. Now a lone Alchemist combs the country for a single stone that could strengthen his Alchemy. If successful, he would control a power to do for the recovery of the valuable things that have been lost. But it would also allow the State Military to senselessly obliterate countless more. The Alchemist is soon confronted with the hard truth that the power to make, but a breath away from the power to destroy, and that with each birth, death must follow.
