9. Fullmetal Alchemist
Episodes: 51 ep. (Fullmetal Alchemist), 64 ep. (Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood)
Seasons: One for each series
Two brothers strive to resurrect their mother in the anime series Fullmetal Alchemist. The primary rule of alchemy is that something of equal worth must be given up in order to obtain anything else. As a result, one brother loses an arm while the other loses his entire body (his soul becomes bonded into a suit of armor). The Philosopher Stone, which has the power to defy the principles of alchemy, is soon made known to the brothers. To obtain that stone, our heroes decide to go out on a mission. They become increasingly aware that they are involved in a far grimmer conflict than they had first thought as they move on.
As you may have suspected, this series is part of the shounen subgenre of anime, which is quite popular and geared at adolescent guys. They frequently have a male lead who sets off on a perilous expedition. In contrast to many other shounens, Fullmetal Alchemist really has a more rich and sophisticated plot. It differs from many other works in this genre since it is set in a fictitious universe that is set in the early 20th century in Europe. For both seasoned anime watchers and those who are new to the medium, this action/fantasy anime is a must-see!
