Come post anything related to the Fullmetal Alchemist anime and manga franchise! Fan art, cosplay, questions, discussion, analysis, memes, etc.What is Fullmetal Alchemist?Fullmetal Alchemist is a manga and anime franchise created by Hiromu Arakawa, a male pen name for a reclusive woman named Hiromi Arakawa. Its setting is similar to Europe in the early 20th century, with one significant addition - alchemy. This arcane science mastered by few, essentially the marriage of magic and chemistry, allows the user to deconstruct, reconstruct and manipulate matter with the aid of symbols known as transmutation circles. However, it is not without its risks, as teenage brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric painfully discovered after an alchemic transmutation gone wrong.
Seeking to restore their bodies, they search for the legendary Philosopher’s Stone - an artifact said to grant its wielder immense alchemical power - but become entangled into a dark conspiracy of epic proportions.The franchise is best categorized as an action-adventure-meets-thriller for teenagers and up, with some horror elements but also plenty of comedy. Think Pokemon, Naruto, etc., but with darker material. The first anime, Fullmetal Alchemist, is more focused on character psychology and development rather than typical shonen action.
