WHAT IS FMA?!?!?! .... *sigh* - well, these two kid's father dissapears because he was messing with magic known as alchemy and then they messed around with it too and lost their limbs (one lost and arm and the other his entire body) so the armless one put the other's fading soul in this robot suit in the basement, and then the mom died too, so the two burned their house down and set on a journey to find the philocipher's stone to bring back the mom and the dad... but they meet this chick that gives the dude a robot arm and then the two set off on an adventure learning alchemy. so they meet this group that works for the government and it uses alchemy. so they join and that ends the first adventure. so on the second it turns out that a highly skilled alchamist can use the philosipher's stone and it known as a full metal alchamist and then they train and try to discover the stone's origin and then after years of this it turns out that the robot suit IS the stone... so he uses the spell on it and it sends the kid inside to where the father is... in our 'real world' europe during the holocaust. so both kids lose their memory after the stone's use and the robot is now a kid and lives with the father and the robot-arm guy goes back and live with the girl that gave him the arm (or something, i assumed that he did) and that ended the entire series.
