The Story - At the start of the story Al and Ed Elric who have special abilities to manipulate objects and transform those objects into other objects try to bring their mother back to life doing this makes ed lose his arm and leg and makes al lose his whole body but luckily ed moulds his soul to a suit of armour. After these events they both embark on a fantastic journey to become masters of alchemy and more importantly to save al from his metal body to make him regain his body again.
The Review - Now what can i say about fullmetal alchemist its the best anime i've watched its got all aspects from every genre its story is the most complex and thrilling. It just gets better and better as the series goes on. You start to learn more about each character and their background further the program progresses. The story even makes you wish it didn't end so quick, but if you like this series you've only got to wait a little while for the movie. Which should be and hope it will be as great as its predersessor.

I see you've posted this as a DVD review, but you've not mentioned the DVD. Are there any extras? If so, what are they and are they any good? If you add to this, or if you change it to be posted as a "Film Only" review, which can be done by accessing "edit review" above the review and changing the drop down menu under the "Which format are you reviewing?" question at the bottom, please let me know and I'll re-rate.
Advantages: Very funny, emotional storyline (to the point of tear-inducing), very cool soundtrack (if you like J-Pop/Rock) Disadvantages: Suffers the same fatal flaw as all anime in Europe: expensive to purchase entire season
