Ok seems that people want to talk about Full Metal Alchemist, i have made a thread so people can talk about it.
~Plot
What Full Metal Alchemist Is About
Edward and Alphonse Elric are brothers living in the village of Resembool in the country of Amestris (����, Amesutorisu?). Their father, Hohenheim, left home when Edward and Alphonse were still very young. Years later, their mother, Trisha Elric, dies of a terminal illness. After their mother's death, Edward becomes determined to bring her back through the use of alchemy, an advanced science in which an object can be reformed into something completely different. They learn of the Human Transmutation, a forbidden art in which one attempts to create a human who had died. However, this attempt failed, ultimately resulting in the loss of Edward's left leg and Alphonse's entire body. In a desperate effort to save his brother, Edward sacrifices his right arm to affix his brother's soul to a suit of armor. After that, Edward's left leg and right arm are fitted with two sets of automail, a type of advanced prosthetic limb, created for him by his close family friends Winry Rockbell and her grandmother Pinako.
~Characters
Edward Elric, commonly nicknamed "Ed", is the main protagonist of the series. Edward is famous for being the youngest State Alchemist of the country winning the title of "Fullmetal Alchemist". Edward is of short stature, and typically reacts in an exaggerated manner to any remarks about his height. After losing his right arm and left leg as a result of a failed human transmutation and the binding of Alphonse's soul to a suit of armor, he received automail prosthetics. He starts searching for the Philosopher's Stone in order to recover the body of his younger brother as well as his missing limbs.
Alphonse Elric, often nicknamed "Al," is Edward's younger brother and Fullmetal Alchemist's secondary protagonist. For most of the series, his soul is trapped in a large suit of armor as a result of performing Human Transmutation, causing other characters throughout the series to confuse Al with the "Fullmetal" Alchemist. Alphonse is the calmer of the two, and can be seen as a foil to Edward's character. He starts the search for the Philosopher's Stone with his brother hoping to recover their bodies
Roy Mustang, is a State Alchemist known as the "Flame Alchemist" due to his ability to create fire with his gloves. He is Edward's direct superior officer in the military, but has his own goal, mainly to become the F�hrer, leader of the military. During the series, his friend Maes Hughes is killed after discovering the secret of the Ishval Civil War resulting in the start of his search of Hughes's murderer
Winry Rockbell, is a mechanical expert who is a childhood friend of the Elrics. She, along with her grandmother Pinako, built Edward's automail, and she also helps maintain the automail when it gets broken. Her parents were called into service as doctors during the Ishvalan Civil War and were killed while treating the injured. In the manga, they are killed by the Ishvalan Scar; in the anime, they are killed by the State Alchemist Roy Mustang.
Scar, is one of the few surviving Ishvalans. His real name is never revealed, but he is referred to as "Scar" because of the X-shaped scar on his face. Scar's right arm, which is tattooed with a rare transmutation circle, was given to him by his brother shortly before he died. Scar believes himself to be an instrument of God, and kills State Alchemists using his alchemical skills, despite the fact that he believes alchemy is an abomination against the natural world.
Ok now if you want to read the manga here is the link to it Full Metal Alchemist Online Manga

I've seen 31 of 51 episodes.
I started reading the manga to, got through the first 3 chapters in an hour, very little is different to the anime as well.
Edit:I'm on chapter 22 or so now, not bad for 3 days of reading I think.
Edit2:Yeah, make that chapter 41 out of 86, I'm nearly half way through.
