Fullmetal Alchemist

What It Is

Fullmetal Alchemist takes the form of a TV series — 51 episodes in total — and is complete and ready to watch from start to finish.

Catalog tags describe it as "action" and "adventure", with further threads of "against destiny" and "aim for the top" — a combination that signals its tone without giving the story away.

Other names for it include “El Alquimista de Acero” and “FMA”, which is how it often shows up in catalogs and fan discussions.

Production Notes

The animation is adapted from a manga and produced by Bones, first reaching audiences in Fall 2003.

Its longer episode count gives the story room to breathe across many installments.
