This collection includes 13 episodes of the adventure anime series Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, following the brothers Alphonse and Edward Elric as they try to restore what they lost in a misguided attempt to bring back their deceased mother through alchemy - an incident that left half of Edward's body gone, replaced by mechanical prosthetics, and Alphonse's body gone completely, his soul inhabiting a suit of armor. Now, the two must embark on a journey to find the Philosopher's Stone, an artifact with the powers to bring back what they lost. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood follows the same premise as the first Fullmetal Alchemist anime series, but follows the story from the original manga completely.
