Fullmetal Alchemist
Hagane no Renkinjutsushi
The rules of alchemy state that to gain something, one must lose something of equal value. Alchemy is the process of taking apart and reconstructing an object into a different entity, with the rules of alchemy to govern this procedure. However, there exists an object that can bring any alchemist above these rules, the object known as the Philosopher's Stone. The young Edward Elric is a particularly talented alchemist who through an accident years back lost his younger brother Alphonse and one of his legs. Sacrificing one of his arms as well, he used alchemy to bind his brother's soul to a suit of armor. This lead to the beginning of their journey to restore their bodies, in search for the legendary Philosopher's Stone.
Note: Episodes 11, 12 and 37 were adapted from the light novel "Fullmetal Alchemist: The Land of Sand."

In preparation for Brotherhood, here's my thoughts on this classic [SPOILERS THROUGHOUT]
A very messy review from someone yet to watch Brotherhood

The Still Worth Watching FMA
Fullmetal Alchemist is a great attempt at a twisted, epic, fairy tale, but it gets lost in its own ambitions
Would be a 10/10 without the horrible pacing

FMA '03 is too unfocused to reach its full potential.
