In the hot new anime series FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST, two brothers discover the dark art of alchemy and its transmuting powers.

These boys can turn any inert substance into something else - instantly. Lead into gold, no problem. But when they attempt to bring their mother back to life, it's entirely another matter. The laws of alchemy strictly forbid transmuting a human life.

ABOUT FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST

As children, two brothers Edward and Alphonse used the clandestine science of Alchemy to try the unthinkable - resurrect their dead mother. They failed, unleashing an alchemic reaction that ripped their bodies apart. Four years later, Ed and Al are on a quest to find a philospher's stone rumoured to be able to amplify their alchemical powers and bring their bodies back to normal. And it appears they may have found it.


This is the year's biggest anime debut! FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST is based on the best selling manga by Hiromu Arakawa. The universal appeal of this series lies in the themes of loss, suffering and the journey to redemption, as well as the fast-paced supernatural action. FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST is destined to outstrip HARRY POTTER for sheer brilliance and wizardry.


The anime hails from the animation powerhouse Studio BONES - the name behind such innovative titles as COWBOY BEBOP THE MOVIE and RAXHEPHON - along with Sony's Aniplex animation studio. This creative pedigree together with multiple video game releases and chart-topping theme songs by major label artists such as J-rock supergroup L'Arc en Ciel have positioned Fullmetal Alchemist at the top tier of anime releases in Japan.
