Hagane no Rekinjutsushi
A shounen manga by Hiromu Arakawa published in January 2001 and is still ongoing with 19 volumes and 81 chapters, each released almost every month. It is about Edward and his brother Alfonse Elric living in a small town with their mother since their father left them some time ago, who used to be an alchemist. They were living a happy life when suddenly their mother died because of an illness, Ed and Al tried to revive her using alchemy and failed causing the almost dead of Al's that Ed's could save only his soul losing his right arm and legs. It was known that with a philosopher's stone, he could revive anything without failure and decided to become an state alchemist to access to all kind of information about how to get it or create it thus beginning an adventurous and a hard journey.
There is an anime version aired in October 2003 to 2004 of the same month with 51 episodes, not very similar from the manga because there are a lot of changes and different characters but it is a good animation. The end of this anime, practically it could be seen in the movie "Fullmetal Alchemist the movie: Conqueror of Shamballa" aired in 2005 with a runtime of 105 minutes.
The music of the three Original Soundtracks was composed by Michiru Oshima, wonderful, so beautiful included in my top anime OSTs and my favourite is the OST 1. Its opening and ending was in charge of good bands like Porno Graffitti, L'arc~en~ciel, Cool Joke and Asian Kung-Fu Generation.
I like it so much because how the alchemy is used in this story is so interesting and so cool, drama parts, so dramatic, fighting scenes, so amazing both manga and anime. I following the manga until the end comes because I would like to know all the puzzle this story has been doing about that famous philosopher's stone and its skill to revive.
