The Alchemist

One of the dopest hip-hop producers in the game. His production is characterized by the sharply defined drums and loops crafted on his ASR-10. The Alchemist, born Alan Maman, was born in Beverly Hills, but now lives in New York. He has worked with Mobb Deep, Jadakiss, Dilated Peoples, Styles P., Termanology, and countless other dope groups.

This "We Gon Make It" Jadakiss joint is tight...who's on the boards?

Oh shit man, you gotta know that's the Alchemist.

alchemist

Starting in Egypt, alchemists were the predecessor to the modern chemist. Though they are largely discredited by the scientific community due to the fact that many included religion and the occult to 'fill in the blanks', they made great strides in scientific research, sometimes by accident (i.e. discovery of gunpowder trying to find immortality). After egypt, the next earliest is probably in China, where gunpowder was discovered. Many famous physicists were alchemistds, such as Isaac Newton. Today there are still alchemists, though they practice (usually) practical alchemy. This is the practice of alchemy that actually has a purpose, and the study and reproducion o=f ancient alchemical experiments, usually involving finding out both how the experiments were beleived to work by ancient alchemists, and how they work in terms of current chemists, and whether there is any connection.

One practical alchemy experiment is the extraction of salt from rosemary (popular experiment by some alchemist on the web), while other alchemy experiments include the accidental discovery of gunpowder in China.

full metal alchemist

Full Metal Alchemist is one of the best anime to come out in this generation with great charcaters one of the best plots ive ever seen and a great mix. of Humor, Action, Science fiction and loads of other stuff. Not saying that Inu-Yasha is bad but FMA is proboly going to be #1 for a while. This is what anime should be.

Human Kind cannot gain anything without giving something in return

To obtain something of equal value must be lost

This is Alchemys first law of Equvulant Exchange

In those days we really tought for that to be the worlds one and only truth

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

REMAKE OF THE 2003 ANIME 'FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST'.

Brotherhood follows the manga (the original comic book series) storyline of Fullmetal Alchemist. 2003 Fullmetal Alchemist is one big lie and has hardly any resemblance to the real storyline ; _; Brotherhood is absolutely amazing, it's a must watch if you are interested in the manga or just want to become 'un-noobified' (i.e. you are an anime fan who bums the old series and thinks they are cool cuz you can make sense out of a series that doesn't make any sense.....).
Thank you for your time.

Guy1: "You seen Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood?"

Guy2: "What the hell? Is that series 2 of FMA?!"

Guy1: "No, it's a remake. It owns the old anime."

Guy2: "No way, I bet they ruined it."

Guy1:".........n00b."

full metal alchemist

An excellent show with an original plot and endearing characters. Even though the pacing suffers in the second half, this show is a pioneering anime that blends humor, legend, and characterization to produce a true anime classic.

Regarding the ridiculous flame war between Inu Yasha fans and FMA fans:

Inu Yasha is funny and somewhat interesting, but it suffers from horrible pacing, pointless filler episodes, and jaded anime hallmarks that wear out quickly. FMA may have a few scattered cliches, but it never slows down as a series.

Hey, at least it ended.

Hagaren is an exciting new anime from Hiromu Arakawa.

Full Metal Alchemist

The story of Edward and Alphose Elric, two alchemists who tried human transmutation. Ed lost his arm and leg during this, and Al his whole body! With his remaining strength, Ed sacrificed his leg for Al's soul and captured it in a suit of amour. Ed becomes a State Alchemist and serches for the Philospher's Stone, so he can bring back his mother and return Al to his normal state. But the road to the Philospher's stone is a dangerous one...

Actually Spelled 'Fullmetal Alchemist'. Japanese title is Hagane no Renkinjutshi. Main characters are Ed and Al Elric, Winry, Roy Mustang, Hughes, and the homunculus. (Others, but I'm too lazy to write them all out)

full metal alchemist

An excellent anime bases loosely off of the manga series. It takes place in a world where alchemy is real and a science with certain laws and rules. The first and most important one is that nothing can be gained without sacrificing something of equal value in exchange. This is the Law of Equivalent Exchange. Two young brothers, Edward and Alphonse (Ed and Al for short) Elric who are gifted alchemists ignore the Law and try to bring their mother back to life. Because there is nothing that can equal the value of a human soul, Ed and Al succeed only in bringing back a mutilated body of their mom. Al loses his entire body in the process while Ed loses a leg. Ed then sacrifices his right arm to attach Al's soul to a suit of armor.
Now the brothers want to regain their original bodies back but the only way to do so is to use the mysterious Philosopher's Stome which can bypass the laws of alchemy. Ed, now sporting automail limbs in place of the one he lost, becomes a State Alchemist of the militarian government to access data on the Stone.
The series follows the boys' adventures as they try to find this Stone and face corrupt military leaders, chimera, homunculi, and other alchemists. Though most of the time it's serious and a real tear-jerker at some scence, it has it's share of comedy and laughter.
It has a well written plot, original characters, and great artwork.

Full Metal Alchemist is a great anime every anime-fan should at least preview it before saying how rotten it is compared to other animes.
