Fullmetal Alchemist, Volume 4: The Fall of Ishbal (Episodes 13-16) description
Edward and Alphonse Elric learn difficult lessons that affect their perceptions of themselves and their profession as Fullmetal Alchemist continues. They learn that the murderous vendetta Scar is conducting against State Alchemists grew out of the rebellion of Ishbal. They learn that Dr. Marcoh created an imperfect version of the Philosopher's Stone that the State military used to perpetrate a terrible massacre in Ishbal. When they are injured by Scar, Ed and Al learn to accept the aid of the gargantuan Alex Louis Armstrong. Ultimately, the brothers learn how necessary they are to each other. The serious moments are balanced against broad comedy: Al finds himself reduced to the status of baggage; Ed remains as hot-tempered as ever. While the Elric brothers struggle through their adventures, the mysterious figures of Lust, Envy, and Gluttony remain in the background, trying to control events. (Rated TV PG: violence, minor risqué humor, alcohol and tobacco use) --Charles Solomon

Best of the best

I am not a spring chicken, so I get introduced to anime through my daughter. Some of it is fluffy love stories or improbable characters or situations that appear from nowhere to solve the day. Full Metal is none of these. The characters are believable even when they are a talking metal suit of armor. Ed and Al are young boys. Their mother dies. They desparately want her back. They do something forbidden. They pay. And they learn what the costs are. The world is a confusing place. They navigate, sometimes on their own and sometimes with people who they meet along the way. Not everyone is who they seem at the start. Finally they confront the costs of their and other peoples violations of the rules. Through the story there is humor and growth. The story is told from their point of view. They do not give in to the tragedies that surround them and keep fighting for the truth and for each other. I highly recommend this series for young teens and old fogies (that's me). Much better than most things available for teens these days. I rank this up with Dante and Faust as literature about pacts made by people not understanding the full consequences of their actions fighting to restore the balance of their lives.
