Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood focuses on the journey of brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric. A journey that began with human transmutation, the forbidden act of alchemy, which Edward and Alphonse paid the price for. With their unique ability to form weaponry through the art of alchemy, they both work together to track down the mysterious Philosopher’s Stone. Brotherhood is a much more faithful adaptation of the original Fullmetal Alchemist manga. With minimal fillers and a more in-depth story. As Edward and Alphonse join the military, they soon discover something much more mysterious than the Philosopher’s Stone. As you begin your adventure with the Elric brothers, you’ll quickly be enticed by the many lovable characters met throughout their expedition. Even with its dark tone, Brotherhood is an anime that’s comedically fun to watch! On the surface, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and Blassreiter may not seem like they have very much in common at first sight but as you dive deeper into the story, you may come to find that they’re not that far off from one another. Both set in an alternate reality of Europe, Joseph and Elric find out that they’re handling much more than they can bite. Both make great use of editing and visual amplification to establish an otherworldly but relatable tone to their stories. Christianity proves to be one of many compelling reasons both characters are pressured to find out the truth of what lies behind the organizations trying to stop them.
