Synopsis

Alchemy is a science based on the principle of equivalent exchange: it allows matter to be understood, broken down, and reconstructed, transforming one substance into another. However, such advanced technology cannot be used for human transmutation—an absolute taboo in alchemy. Yet Edward (voiced by Romi Park) and Alphonse (voiced by Rie Kugimiya), brothers with exceptional alchemical talent, violate the taboo because they deeply miss their mother. The ultimate price is that Edward loses an arm and a leg, while his younger brother Alphonse can only attach his soul to a huge suit of armor. Finally understanding everything, the brothers seek more alchemical knowledge to restore themselves and become State Alchemists, embarking on a journey to find the ultimate alchemical item—the Philosopher's Stone. Through continuous exploration, the two brothers finally discover the truth behind the Philosopher's Stone and gain a deeper understanding of the militarized country in which they live. At this point, facing country, people, and family... where does the future of alchemy lie?
