A group for fans of FullMetal Alchemist (Or Hagane No Renkinjutsushi in japanese) manga...







Fullmetal Alchemist (Hagane no Renkinjutsushi), commonly abbreviated "FMA" or "Hagaren" by fans, is a manga series created by Hiromu Arakawa and serialized in Monthly Shonen Gangan. It has also been adapted into an anime series and a movie, as well as several spin-off novels and videogames.

The manga is still running in Japan, and 13 volumes have been released so far. The anime, on the other hand, is finished, and consists of 51 episodes and a full-length movie. Both incarnations have seen massive popularity in both Japan and the United States; the anime was recently voted #1 best anime of all time in a September 2005 TV Asahi web poll:[1]. The Japanese name "Hagane no Renkinjutsushi" is translated literally into Alchemist of Forged Steel.

Plot:

Fullmetal Alchemist is set in the early 20th century, in a country called Amestris in an alternate-historical Earth with technology dating from early 20th century Europe. In this alternate world, the pseudoscience of alchemy is heavily used, but takes on a further fantasy element. Real-world alchemists tried to transmute gold from lesser metals. In the series, alchemy becomes the science of transmuting matter into different matter through the use of transmutation circles -- a scientific, yet equally magical, practice with seemingly infinite uses. Talented alchemists can become the military's State Alchemists. Against this backdrop, the series portrays the quest of the young Edward Elric, the Fullmetal Alchemist, and his younger brother Alphonse, for the legendary Philosopher's Stone. Their adventures lead them to discover the truth about their past and the very world they live in.

Edward and Alphonse Elric were children living in the rural village of Resembool in the country of Amestris. Their father, an alchemist, had left home when Edward was very young and Alphonse was a baby. Years later, their mother, Trisha Elric, died of an illness.

In February 1910, the boys decided to attempt to revive their deceased mother. They studied alchemy with a teacher and then used their father's notes to recreate a human transmutation circle. However, this attempt fails, costing Edward his left leg and Alphonse his entire body. In a desperate effort to save his brother, Edward sacrifices his right arm to "affix" his brother's soul to a suit of armor. After that, Edward's left leg and right arm are fitted with two sets of Automail, a type of advanced prosthetic limb.

A State Alchemist by the name of Roy Mustang arrives during the failed transmutation in response to letters the boys had sent out seeking information about their father. After seeing their skill at alchemy, Mustang suggests that the way to achieve their goals is to become a State Alchemist and work for him. Spurred on by the man's proposal, Edward sets out to become a State Alchemist, enabling him to use the resources available to State Alchemists to discover a way to restore what he and Alphonse have lost. The brothers eventually learn of the Philosopher's Stone and set off in search of it as a means to restore their bodies. Along the way they discover secrets about the Philosopher Stones and find other people who seek it as well.

Characters:

Edward Elric - Fullmetal Alchemist's main protagonist: Edward Elric is the Fullmetal Alchemist. He is nicknamed 'Ed'. He has a prosthetic automail arm and leg, is short (a very touchy subject for him), and is known for being the youngest State Alchemist.

Alphonse Elric - Alphonse, often nicknamed Al, is Fullmetal Alchemist's secondary protagonist; he is Edward's younger brother. For most of the series his soul is trapped in a large suit of armor, causing other characters throughout the series to confuse Al for the "Fullmetal" Alchemist. Alphonse is the calmer of the two, and can be seen as a foil to Edward's character.

Winry Rockbell — Winry, also translated as Winly and 'Wendy'(both pronounced wɪnɹi), is a mechanical expert who was a childhood friend of the Elrics. She, along with her grandmother Pinako, built Edward's automail, and she also helps maintain the automail when it gets broken. Her parents were killed during the Ishbal war.

Colonel Roy Mustang - Roy Mustang is the Flame Alchemist. His gloves are made of a special material, called ignition cloth, which allows him to create a spark by snapping his fingers. He then uses alchemy to change the oxygen density in the air with the help of transmutation circles on his gloves, causing a controlled explosion. He is Edward's direct superior officer in the military, but has his own goals and intentions in mind. His main goal is to become the Fuhrer.

Lt. Colonel Mäes Hughes - Member of the Investigations Division, and a good friend of Colonel Mustang and the Elric brothers. He wishes to push Mustang up to Fuhrer by working closely under him. Hughes loves his wife, Gracia, and is overly enthusiastic regarding his daughter Elicia.

Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye - A hard-working member of the state military, and a loyal, capable aide to her superior officer, Mustang. She is especially proficient in the use of firearms.

Scar - One of the surviving Ishbalans. His real name is never known, but he is referred to as "Scar" because of the X-shaped scar on his forehead. Scar's arm, which is covered in an elaborate alchemical tattoo, was given to him by his brother shortly before he died. He believes himself to be an instrument of God, and kills State Alchemists by using alchemy to destroy their bodies from the inside.

King Bradley - Known as the Führer, he is the military dictator of Amestris, holding the official political title of president (King is his first name). Although he seems to be quite easy-going and perhaps a little eccentric, he has the mind of a steel trap, and maintaining Amestris is his chief priority at all times. He is also renowned as an exceptional swordsman.

Lust - Sultry and cool-headed, she is the first of the Homunculi encountered in the series. She has the power to extend her fingers into lances to use as a weapon.

Gluttony - Having the mentality of a child and lacking a will of his own, he is always eager to eat anything, or anyone—dead or alive.

Envy - Sarcastic and cold-hearted, Envy has the ability to change appearance. He hates mankind, viewing them as pitiful and weak.
