#FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST MANGA CHAPTER 10 SERIES#

The Fullmetal Alchemist series works best when the Elric Brothers are pushed to their emotional limits, and the anime series pulls that off in spades. In telling its own story, the first Fullmetal Alchemist anime series obtained a unique identity, and it became much darker and more intense, with an incredibly memorable storyline. Arakawa’s manga was still ongoing at the time, and Studio Bones was forced to improvise for the series. The Fullmetal Alchemist anime series and the manga have two different main villains and completely different endings.

This resulted in two uniquely different storylines. When the series reaches its midway point of Episode 25, it begins to wildly diverge from Arakawa’s manga. The original Fullmetal Alchemist anime series ran for 51 episodes. Now, the brothers set out on a mission to discover a way to once again defy the laws of alchemy and restore their bodies. Alphonse’s entire body was lost in the experiment, but somehow, Edward figured out a way to bind his brother’s 'soul' to a suit of armor. The process ended in disaster, as the experiment cut off one of Edward’s arms and one of his legs. As a result, Edward and Alphonse conducted an alchemical experiment breaking one of science's most sacred laws: human transmutation. The science follows the 'Law of Equivalent Exchange,' which means something of equal value must be lost or destroyed to transmute it into something else.Įdward and Alphonse Elric are two young pre-teen brothers who became gifted prodigies in alchemy but were driven over the edge with grief by the loss of their mother. By the early 20th century, the time in which the series is primarily set, scientists and soldiers have already adopted alchemy, the process of taking a material and breaking it down, before rebuilding it. They live in an alternate universe where alchemy became the dominant science of their world. Fullmetal Alchemist tells the story of two brothers, Edward ( Romi Park) and Alphonse Elric ( Rie Kugimiya).
