If this has you in the mood to dive back into the series, the Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood anime is available on Crunchyroll and other services. Here’s how Crunchyroll describes it:
Disregard for alchemy’s laws ripped half of Ed Elric’s limbs from his body and left Al’s soul clinging to a suit of armor. To restore what was lost, the brothers seek the Philosopher’s Stone. Enemies and allies – the corrupt military, the Homunculi, and foreign alchemists – will alter the Elric’s course, but their purpose will remain unchanged and their bond unbreakable.
