“My parents can’t be spies. They’re not cool enough!”
The classic 51-episode anime series Fullmetal Alchemist blends sci-fi and fantasy with its concept of alchemy as both magic and science. It follows two brothers on a quest for personal redemption amid a massive conspiracy.
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood isn’t a sequel, but a retelling of FMA. It more closely follows the manga both series are based on, with different takes on the same basic story.
