Fullmetal Alchemist English Sub & Dub

About Fullmetal Alchemist

Fullmetal Alchemist blends action, adventure and fantasy by Bones (2003). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. What the story covers: Edward Elric, a young, brilliant alchemist, has lost much in his twelve-year life: when he and his brother Alphonse try to resurrect their dead mother through the forbidden act of human transmutation. With his supreme alchemy skills, Edward binds Alphonse's soul to a large suit of armor.

As things develop, a year later, Edward, now promoted to the fullmetal alchemist of the state, embarks on a quest with his younger brother to obtain the Philosopher's Stone. The fabled mythical object is rumored to be capable of amplifying an alchemist's abilities by leaps and bounds, thus allowing them to override the fundamental law of alchemy: to gain something. Edward hopes to draw into the military's resources to find the fabled stone and restore his and Alphonse's bodies to normal.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by Bones, so the studio's house style defines how Fullmetal Alchemist looks and moves on screen. Within the action category, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. A community score of 8.2/10 puts it among the better-received action titles. Released in 2003, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
