In an alchemical ritual gone wrong, Edward Elric lost his arm and his leg, and his brother Alphonse became nothing but a soul in a suit of armor. Equipped with mechanical "auto-mail" limbs, Edward becomes a state alchemist, seeking the one thing that can restore his brother and himself...the legendary Philosopher's Stone. Trapped and injured in a secret alchemical laboratory, Edward Elric is at the mercy of his enemies, Lust and Envy. But they don't want him dead...they have other plans for him. As the laboratory goes up in flames, the brothers find themselves back at square one, with only an inkling of the massive scale of the Philosopher's Stone conspiracy. But then, Lieutenant Colonel Maes Hughes uncovers a shocking secret...

"There were a few plot lines that were just filler and didn’t add anything. There was one about one of the workers trying to get someone to take a dog that he found. There was another one that winry stayed with LT. Colonel Hughes and it was his daughters birthday. It was just really slow. <br/><br/>There were scenes that were supposed be funny like Colonel Hughes pulling out a gun at three year olds to protect his daughter (because over protective father trope) and another one that a character shot at a dog for being bad. I’m surprised that they didn’t take the dog away from her. He took the dog away from everyone else that didn’t seem like a good owner. <br/><br/>Winry was starting to get annoying on some scenes. She can be over the top sometimes and she gets angry too easily. I just don’t like her personality. I was ok with her before just now it’s annoying. There was a whole scene that Winry and Edward were arguing trying to get Edward to drink his milk. <br/><br/>There was miscommunication which was annoying. Al for some reason listens to the guy that is trying to kill him and bearly knows him and starts thinking that his memory’s were created. It could of all been solved if they had a conversation. The story would make no sense if Edward created a brother and Al was never a person. There whole goal is to get there original bodies back and Edward has expressed guilt before about causing the whole thing. If Al wasn’t a real person what about the mom that they tried to bring back? What about the arm that Edward lost trying to save him?<br/><br/>There a character death though that will impact the series"
