Disregard for alchemy’s laws ripped half of Edward Elric’s limbs from his body and left his brother Alphonse’s soul clinging to a suit of armor. To restore what was lost, the brothers seek the Philosopher’s Stone. Enemies and allies – the corrupt military, the Homunculi, and foreign alchemists – will alter the Elric brothers course, but their purpose will remain unchanged and their bond unbreakable.
Where to Watch Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Ratings & Reviews
- Soham JaiswalMarch 31, 2025this is what ideal story telling is, it topped the charts for a long time and rightly so
- Cypress ZimmerOctober 29, 2025The greatest anime of all time, even surpassing Frieren to take my #1 spot (as a person who saw Frieren first).
- NonPlayableContentJune 9, 2025My #1 anime of all time and most of the world agrees.
- RichardOctober 18, 2025This is anime storytelling at its most refined, epic, emotional and unflinchingly human. Edward and Alphonse Elric’s journey to reclaim what was lost is more than alchemy, it’s a meditation on grief, sacrifice and the cost of ambition. Brotherhood doesn’t just adapt the manga, it elevates it, weaving a tight, 64-episode arc that never loses momentum. The world building is rich: Amestris feels lived in, layered with political intrigue, moral ambiguity and mythic resonance. The Homunculi are more than villains, they’re embodiments of human sin, each with their own twisted logic. And the supporting cast? Roy Mustang, Riza Hawkeye, Scar, Ling Yao, they’re not just side characters, they’re pillars of the story’s emotional architecture. Animation is crisp, battles are kinetic and the score swells with gravitas. Brotherhood earns its tears, its triumphs and its legacy.
- CharlotteCOSMICOctober 12, 2025There is no actual alchemy in any of the series, what is depicted is in fact conjuring spirits (which is definitely not alchemy!)
