"Battle Honon", or a series of action for boys with a great dose of fantasy ("Honon" is Japanese for "boy"), is a major part of anime/manga and the most famous genre of the media. "One piece", "Naruto" and "Demon Slayer" are all different series at first glance, but they are all combat. And the best of this genre? "Fullmetal Alchemist" by Hirom Arakawa (adapted to anime "Fulmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood").

"Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood" was set in the early 20th century in the fictional (but European thematic) country Amestris. In this world, the science of alchemy has applications in the military, medicine, philosophy, etc., but as with true science, there are restrictions: Alchemia relies on equivalent exchange, so you can only create by sacrificing something of equal value.

As such, when the brothers Alchemist Edward Elrik and Alphons Elrik, Obviously he never read "Frankenstein", Try to revive their dead mother Trisha, they are punished for committing the sin of "human transmutation" by losing his right hand and left leg, while the soul of Al is bound by an armor suit. Hence, to treat, the brothers promised to find the universal elixir, otherwise known as the stone of the philosopher.

The action of "Fulmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood" is spectacular; Every struggle is smart and beautifully drawn. Compared to many other series of Fonnen, "Fulmetal Alchemist" stands out For its convenient walking and thematic depth. The central question of the series, resulting from the original sin of the elrics, is if you can measure the value of human lives as other materials. Alchemists take over the power of creating in their own hands when they are transmitted, but they stick to thermodynamic laws. If you can bypass those restrictions, then could you really become God? The villains of the show think so.

Now, "Fulmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood" is actually Second Anime based on the manga of Arakawa, but do not feel under pressure to delay it. The "Brotherhood" is more widely available, a trusted adaptation and most would agree that it is better. (Not that the anime "Fullmetal Alchemist" in 2003 is badto be clear.)

At the end of the series, Edward (indeed Arakawa) states that "there is no such thing as a painless lesson". But while the journey of the elurs can be full of pain, "Fulmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood" will be a journey you will want to take again and again.

"Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood" moves on NetflixCrunchyroll and hulu.
