Religion, death, racism, genocide, war, politics... and alchemy? Yes, these are the key aspects of the show Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Centred around the Elric Brothers - Edward and Alphonse - and their quest to regain their bodies after using the power of alchemy to try and bring back their dead mother, this show starts one way and is in a completely different place by the end of it. Although it's certainly a beautiful thing to watch, the real strength is in its fantastic storyline that takes you on a breathtaking 64 episode journey, dealing with way more social issues then you could ever dream of. The writer of the show, Hiroshi Onagi, crafts a well woven tapestry of plot twists for his characters which sucks audiences right in from the get go. Don't worry though, it has plenty of action too, with some of the most epic battle sequences you'll find on any show. You may get a little bit confused when you're searching for it - there are two options titled Full Metal Alchemist and Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood, but you're best going for the latter. Both are magnificent in their own ways, but Brotherhood hits the heart just a little bit more.
