{"product_id":"full-metal-alchemist-blu-ray-dvd","title":"Full Metal Alchemist (2003) Blu-ray \u0026 DVD","description":"\u003cp\u003eEdward and Alphonse Elric attempted the forbidden: human transmutation, trying to resurrect their dead mother using alchemy. The attempt failed catastrophically — Edward lost his right arm and left leg, Alphonse lost his entire body, his soul barely captured and bound to a suit of armor in time. Edward has since had his missing limbs replaced with mechanical automail and has become the youngest State Alchemist in history, earning the title Fullmetal, so that he and Al can use the military's resources to find the Philosopher's Stone — the legendary amplifier of alchemic power that might allow them to restore their bodies. The search pulls them into the military's darkest secrets, the truth about how the Stone is made, and the existence of the homunculi: artificial humans named after the seven deadly sins, whose agenda intersects catastrophically with the Elric brothers' quest. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFullmetal Alchemist is the 2003 anime adaptation of Hiromu Arakawa's manga, produced by Bones and directed by Seiji Mizushima. It aired on MBS from October 2003 to October 2004 and diverges significantly from the manga in its second half, building an original story that culminates in the theatrical film Fullmetal Alchemist the Movie: Conqueror of Shamballa. The series is consistently ranked among the greatest anime ever made, winning the Animation Kobe Award and the 2004 Animage Anime Grand Prix. The English dub, produced by FUNimation with Vic Mignogna as Edward and Aaron Dismuke as Alphonse, aired on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block from 2004.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally released in North America by FUNimation on individual DVD volumes beginning October 5, 2004; collected into Season Box Sets (Parts 1–6) and later a Complete Series box set.
