Plot Summary: Two brothers lose their mother to an incurable disease. With the power of "alchemy", they use taboo knowledge to resurrect her. The process fails, and as a toll for using this type of alchemy, the older brother, Edward Elric loses his left leg while the younger brother, Alphonse Elric loses his entire body. To save his brother, Edward sacrifices his right arm and is able to affix his brother's soul to a suit of armor. With the help of a family friend, Edward receives metal limbs - "automail" - to replace his lost ones. With that, Edward vows to search for the Philosopher's Stone to return the brothers to their original bodies, even if it means becoming a "State Alchemist", one who uses his/her alchemy for the military.

Only series we did for this series is FMPTSR. So i have no idea. You can make a request

I think you have Full Metal Panic and Fullmetal Alchemist confused. The DVDs should start coming out since they've been airing the english dub on Adult swim already, though they are not done airing the entire series in Japan.

Kaugustino · 2010-03-17 14:30

I think so as well. There only about halfway done for the fansubs i think.

Funimation has been releasing the official English sub with one week of lag in between the Japanese airings. They are on episode 46 now.
