Fullmetal Alchemist (Season 1)

Fullmetal Alchemist (鋼の錬金術師, 2003) is an iconic Japanese anime series produced by Bones studio — watch all episodes online on iFILM. The show ran for 51 episodes through 2004, blending science fantasy, action, and dark drama. Edward Elric is voiced by Romi Park, Alphonse Elric by Rie Kugimiya.

Brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric broke the one rule that every alchemist knows: you cannot create life. Their attempt to bring their dead mother back cost Edward his right arm and left leg — and trapped Alphonse's soul inside a hollow suit of armor. Now a teenager with metal limbs and a State Alchemist license, Edward works for the military in exchange for access to resources that might lead him to the philosopher's stone — the only object said to bypass alchemy's law of equivalent exchange.

The trail takes the brothers into a conspiracy far larger than either of them anticipated. This 2003 series diverges from Hiromu Arakawa's manga and delivers its own ending, which is precisely what sets it apart from the 2009 Brotherhood adaptation.
