Modern Alchemy is a magical art that aims at the spiritual transformation of the Alchemist.
In ancient times the study of Alchemy led to the founding of the science of chemistry.
Unknown to many people the goal of study of alchemy was not to turn base metals into gold.
By being able to turn base metals into gold the Alchemist was believed to transform him self spiritually, and the gold was sometimes thought to be a metaphor for the Alchemist soul.
And the transformation was thought to take place to magical or paranormal means.
Alchemist wrote there texts in a type of code to keep people only seeking wealth from corupting the science.
Modern Alchemy is an occult science and studied by people serious about the spiritual side of the universe.

Get the Alchemy mug.Considering getting my requisitional conjunctive archives being published in the foreseeable future. However, having difficulty trying to explain to the publishers just what the archive of conjunctive historical values around linguistic alchemy and other concepts as well as past and possible future policies actually is about!

-An excellent colorful anime full of comedy, drama, fantasy, and yes, even metal :P. I was somewhat apprehensive because of the overall apearance of the show at first (you know, big googly eyes, and manga-ish reactions) but I was pleased to see that they did this just to draw in the more immature crowd who like bright and shiney objects, etc,. The overall plot just keeps on getting thicker and thicker, with new twists and turns that is not often found nowadays in anime.
-The only thing that I can think of that is "wrong" with the show is that it has bad comedic timing, like if someone coughs blood, it gives them a split-second, almost comic-like look to them (this actually does happen).
-Though it is still not my favorite anime, it is surely making its way up my list (cowboy bebop being at the top, of course). It has a great storyline, tear-jerking scenes, (both comedic and tragic)and excellent character-development, the thing that I look for the most to define a good series.
I give this series an A-. Good job Ed and Al!
Just a small author's note: I am not what you would call a typical anime fan (though some of you may say that there is no such thing as a "typical" anime fan, you're just the kind of people I'm talking about). To give you a visual: I am 17-years-old, blonde, straight, normal/somewhat pretty, 125lb girl, who never wears rainbow stockings, OR freaky cat ears, is not in the "goth" group, or any other punk-emo whatever group....and uh...did I forget any other stereotypes, hmmm...oh well it'll come to me later. Anyhoo, I just wanted to say that so you know that you guys are not hearing from the same people over and over again.
Oh. Yea. Watch the show.

Get the Full Metal alchemist mug.Fullmetal Alchemist : Brotherhood is nor a remake or second season of the original Fullmetal Alchemist.
Reason it is not the second season is because (2003)'s Fullmetal Alchemist DID end. There was an additional movie called Conquerer of Shamballa. This movie officially concluded it.
Not a remake either because there has never been ONE anime to date that has been remade by any other company, franchise, etc. As much as some companies would love to remake some of their epic fails, they do not feel like spending the kind of time and money they could to make a new shitty anime. Quality over quantity my dear.
It's well damn obvious the original series was rushed. As Death the Kid quotes, "Everything not symetrical is ugly". My sentimentals exactly. The original Fullmetal Alchemist had a completely random number for number of episodes (51 to be exact) and is grotesque in telling the story.

Compare and Contrast of the two:
Fullmetal Alchemist : Brotherhood : It follows the manga with less action and blood. There is no gore in this series (not noticed any yet), which means piles of gushing. Less action, more story.
2003 Adaption : It was made loosely with an oddly thought conclusion, more action and lots of gore. Less story.
Fullmetal Alchemist : Brotherhood :Tells the story with no fillers in a quick, yet detailed way.
2003 Adaption : Tells the story in a completely scattered, exagerated, and boring way.
Fullmetal Alchemist : Brotherhood. : The color scheme has also been redone with a nicer look.
2003 Adaption : Lots of color and shading. Not colored as well as Brotherhood.
