Theres probably already a thread about this, but honestly, that just means that more people like it. Its a pretty good anime.**

Abandoned by their father as kids, two young brothers, Edward and Alphonse Elric lived with their mother in a small town called Resembool. After losing their mother to a terminal illness, they try to resurrect her using alchemy - a science which allows you to transform physical matter from one form to another.

Check out the manga as well. I would argue that its even better, but yeah, great adaptation

>>1 Although there is a thread for this series it is closed, meaning you can't reply onto it anymore.

Anyway I've never seen the series, but people always hype it up. I feel that when I finally do watch it that the series better be great otherwise if it's just good I'll be disappointed with all the hype people put into it.
