Fullmetal Alchemist (鋼の錬金術師, Hagane no Renkinjutsushi, lit. "Alchemist of Steel"), commonly abbreviated as FMA or Hagaren, is an ongoing Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Hiromu Arakawa. The world of Fullmetal Alchemist is based in the countries of Europe during the Industrial Revolution period as well as several experiences from the author's life. Set in a fictional universe in which alchemy is one of the most advanced scientific techniques known to man, the story follows Edward and Alphonse Elric, two brothers and alchemists, who want to recover parts of their bodies they lost in an attempt to bring their mother back to life.

The manga is serialized in Square Enix's Monthly Shōnen Gangan magazine and was adapted into an animated television series and a movie sequel. The manga is still running in Japan, and nineteen bound volumes have been released so far, while sixteen have been released in the United States by Viz Media. The anime, on the other hand, is finished, and consists of fifty-one episodes and a full-length movie sequel, which have been released in English in all English-speaking DVD regions. In addition, there are several spin-off novels, original video animations (OVAs), and video games. Merchandising of Fullmetal Alchemist, such as collectible card games, action figures, soundtracks, and supplementary books, have also been released.

The franchise has seen high popularity in both Japan and North America. As of March 2008, the Fullmetal Alchemist manga has sold over 30 million volumes in Japan. The English release of the manga's first volume was the top-selling graphic novel during the year 2005. The series' animated adaptation won the Animage Anime Grand Prix prize in 2003. In two TV Asahi web polls, the anime was voted #1 most popular anime of all time in Japan. It was nominated in six of the eight categories for which it was eligible at the American Anime Awards in February 2007, winning awards in five of them.

  • I suddenly feel such a temperature difference from the time I started listening to this track, to halfway, and still on going. I have not felt that warm about a song in such a long time. It's confusing how one song can affect me so much.

  • fma and fma brotherhood both made me cry at the end (':

    the bond between edward and alphonse is just so beautiful <3

  • this reminds me very much of Lord of the Rings final song: Journey to the West or whatever it was called...can't believe I've forgotten the name of it...

  • @ausiuchi i agree completely, i never read the manga so i dont care that fMA didnt follow the plot, to me it was more emotional and the layout was easier to understand and idk i really loved it and wish it got as much attention as the Brotherhood version :C

  • @Katclub8 Well, Fma:B had the characters and storyline of the manga, which I think is a good thing for most people who are having trouble understanding the manga(not to be rude, but the manga can havea rather complex plot. I hadn't read it for a while when some of the books came out, and when I forgot about the story for a while, i had to read the WHOLE collection again...). But in terms of anime, I'd say the 1st was the best, even if it didn't follow the manga: i really love the way it's done.

  • @ausiuchi Exactly, there wasn't a "final boss" fight for Edward in the original FMA because it wasn't necessary. The story is driving the action rather than the other way around.

  • @Katclub8 No... FMA has a better music and better plot, but FMA:B doesn't. FMA just make me look into the sadness, but for FMA:B, there is too much characters that I can't focus on the emotions of everyone.

    FMA:B is still a good one though.

    FMA , well, I think that one is more ...Realism?

  • @Pevensify Okay, versing avatar, FMA:B is way better, FMA has better music, but FMA:B has a better plot.

  • @lilsquirt1995 :') you are so right!

  • @alize0623 When is it gonna be released?

  • @alize0623 Lucky

  • @xalexx95 "Such a bond; such a display of brotherly love!"
