#FULL METAL ALCHEMIST TATTOO MOVIE#

The manga is the main story, and the second anime, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brothers in Da Hood follows it. The Elric Brothers posing for a calendar, unaware it is meant to be a nude calendar. They're also virtually indestructible because they have pieces of the Philosopher's Stone inside themselves. They're called homunculi and while they look like humans, they've got the nasty tendency to randomly kill people, along with some weird mark on their body. The main people causing trouble, however, aren't people at all, as it turns out. He also happens to be one of the few Ishbalans that haven't been annihilated yet and is apparently not very pleased about this situation. There's this guy named Scar who's got this huge X on his head. They encounter a lot of weird people, who end up being the antagonists by some weird plot twist. Edward and Alphonse set out to find the Philosopher's Stone which will be able to restore their bodies, scientifically. The dog is the most vital member of the team.Īfter getting a visit from Christian Bale lookalike Roy Mustang, Edward decides to become a State Alchemist, thus joining the State Military of Amestris, often lauded for its quick and efficient annihilation of the Ishbalan race. Luckily, their best friend and her granny, Winry and Pinako Rockbell respectively, are both skilled 'automail' engineers, which means they have the ability to create metal prostheses which work even better than the original limbs. After realizing what has happened, Edward also sacrificed his right arm so he could affix Alphonse's soul to a suit of armor. Because they didn't bother with the law of ' Equivalent Exchange', Alphonse lost his whole body and Edward lost his left leg to an entity which can only be described as a horde of greedy black kids. The Elric brothers tried and failed resurrecting their mother by using the forbidden art of Human Transmutation. After a little while, their mother, Trisha Elric, suddenly became terminally ill from an unknown disease.

They also had a father, Van Hohenheim, who dumped their mom soon after she got pregnant. Born someplace called Amestris, the boys lived there with their mother. The Elric brothers might've plagiarized a couple scenes from 300.Įdward and Alphonse Elric are two alchemist brothers searching for the Philosopher's Stone, a powerful object which they can use to restore their bodies.

The manga was adapted into an anime, a movie which concludes the story of aforementioned anime, another anime, and a shitload of other stuff. They tried to resurrect their mother with this 'alchemy' stuff, but, sadly, epically failed doing so and lost parts of their bodies in the process, thus setting the stage for what would've otherwise been a very boring anime/manga. The story is about two brothers, Edward and Alphonse Elric. I guess that explains all the robots and stuff, right? And in this world, alchemy is one of the most advanced scientific techniques known to man. Hmm, the world of Fullmetal Alchemist is styled after the European Industrial Revolution. Apparently, some Japanese person called 'Hiromu Arakawa' wrote and illustrated the Fullmetal Alchemist manga. So anyway, I'll be reading the Wikipedia page while writing this article. I've heard it's some kind of popular anime/ manga thingy. I don't know shit about Fullmetal Alchemist. I can't help but notice that one of them looks like a robot.Īlright, I'll be honest with you. It features two characters, named Alphonse and Edward Elric. This is the cover of the first Japanese manga volume.
