A japanese manga/anime. Edward and Alphonse both lost something important to them. Edward, being the bigger brother, lost his leg while performing a human transmutation for his dead mother, due to this failure, Alphonse, his little brother, lost his whole body. With Edward's last strength he gave up his arm and was able to cast his brother's soul into a suit of armor. After finding out that a human transmutation is "impossible," they've journeyed to find the Philospoher Stone. The philsopher stone is a rumor that has made every alchemist in the 16-17 century worked up on finding this stone. It is because it can, make you wealthier, longevity, bring the dead back, turn lead into gold, brings anything you desire. However, on their journey, they meet chimeras and homunculus.....
You cannot gain something without losing something. You have to present something with the equal value to gain the thing you desire. This is the code of equivalent trade in alchemy- An Actual Alchemy Code

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)

An anime voted, called, and said to be one of the best ever.
Fullmetal Alchemist got voted 3rd out of 200 on http://www.animenfo.com/
In response to the question of which is better, Inuyasha or Fullmetal Alchemist, Inuyasha pales in comparison to Fullmetal Alchemist as a series that is dragged on, has pointless characters, over used humor, repetative plot, pointless filler and OAV episodes, poor endings and dubbing, sometimes shoddy animation, over used fight scences, and you get bored and can never quite finish watching all 300 some epsodes, while Fullmetal Alchemist has a mear 51 and has an interesting and absorbing plot, explained characters, well paced, and execellent animation, and interesting voices and a seamless intergration of drama, humor, and horror.
Therefore, a better anime than Inuyasha.
And I've seen both.

Inuyasha is for anime wannabes.
Go watch some real anime like Hellsing, Evangelion, or Fullmetal Alchemist.

Some fanboy/fangirl who can't even spell Inu-Yasha says that it is not as good as Inu-Yasha.
I beg to differ; any episode of FMA is, in my opinion, as good or better than even the best three episodes of Inu-Yasha combined.

The best anime I've ever seen and I've seen about 3: Lupin the Third, Inuyasha, and FMA. It has a very good plot, and keeps you interested through out the whole episode.
Fullmetal Alchemist is very interesting

A anime that is way better and mor einteresting than Inu-Yasha, Inuyasha has a retarded plot which they have to get some jewel. Just buy a freaking jewel from the store goddamnit. FullMetal alchemistis one of the best anime ever and will always be better than queer ass INu-Yasha (which the characters always die and somehow come back to life).

I can too spell Inuyasha, and for your information, full metal alchemist is one of the worst animes I have ever seen. Inuyasha is superior in every way.
Fullmetal Assholes like this guy are blinded by their love for Fullmetal Alchemist and can't realize what show is really better. I pity them.
