FullMetal Alchemist is all about the storyline. The first 2 episodes give a general overview of the kind of thing to expect, introducting the characters in their current situation. Lots of action, lots of alchemy (magic) and very enjoyable. After that for the 3rd episode the soryline jumps to the proper introduction and gives you all the background info that really starts to define this awsome anime. The series is very emotional and the characters reflect this throughout. There are parts that are extremely dark and almost unnerving at times but these are contrasted well with the light-hearted side of the characters. The animation is incredible with bright, colourful sceneries and there is a great sense of purpose when you are watching it, if you know what I mean. After watching the first disk I garuntee you will be begging for more.
I would have enjoyed this better if I was 10 years old. Pure fantasy for children. It is pointless watching it unless you are upto date with the Japanese comic and Japanese TV film series running this cartoon series. Although my wife seemed to enjoy it.
