Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (2009) — Story, Release Date, Rating

Synopsis:

In a world where alchemy governs reality, brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric grapple with the devastating consequences of a forbidden experiment. The attempt to resurrect their mother resulted in profound physical and spiritual costs: Alphonse's body is lost, while Edward sustains severe injuries, binding his brother's soul to a suit of armor. Guided by their mentor Pinako Rockbell and her skilled granddaughter Winry, who crafts advanced prosthetic limbs, they embark on a perilous quest for the Philosopher's Stone.

Their journey unveils a complex web of political intrigue and societal upheaval, as Edward’s skills as an alchemist draw attention and ultimately place them at the center of a larger conflict. The series explores themes of sacrifice, the ethics of scientific pursuit, and the enduring bond between brothers against a backdrop of a world grappling with the implications of manipulating natural laws.
