The Fullmetal Alchemistmanga and anime series feature an extensive cast of fictional characters created by Hiromu Arakawa. The story is set in a fictional universe within the 2. Although they basically start the same, the first anime, midway through its run, begins to differ greatly from the original manga; characters that are killed early on in the manga survive to the end of the first anime and vice versa.

The second anime's (Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood) events, however, faithfully follow those from the manga.[1]The story follows the adventures of two alchemist brothers named Edward and Alphonse Elric. While trying to revive their mother, the brothers lost parts of their bodies, with Alphonse's soul being contained in a suit of armor, and Edward replacing his right arm and left leg with two sets of automail, a type of advanced prosthetic limb.

Advised by Roy Mustang, an alchemist from the State Military, Edward becomes a State Alchemist, and starts traveling with Alphonse through the country of Amestris in order to find a way to recover their bodies. In their search, they hear of the Philosopher's Stone, a powerful alchemy artifact that the brothers can use to recover their bodies. When creating the series, Arakawa took her inspiration from several experiences in her childhood, including her parents' jobs and the manga she used to read.

Several types of merchandising have also been released based on the characters from the series. Reviewers from manga, anime, and other media have also commented on the characters. Most of them have praised their development in the story as well as Arakawa's artwork. Creation and conception[edit]The author Hiromu Arakawa integrated several social problems into the story after talking to people who had suffered and lived through them, such as refugees, war veterans and former yakuza, or simply by watching news concerning those issues. Several plot elements expand on these themes, such as Pinako Rockbell caring for the Elric brothers after the death of their mother, and the brothers helping people all over the country to gain an understanding of the meaning of family. Many characters of the series differ from the manga to the first anime, the homunculi being the most notable, which was because Arakawa wanted the first anime to have a different ending from the manga, to avoid repeating the same events in both series.[2]Arakawa said that she became attracted by the idea of using alchemy in the manga after reading about the philosopher's stone.

She liked it so much that she started reading books of alchemy, which she found very complicated because some books contradicted others.[2]In the making of the characters' designs, Arakawa has commented that the manga authors Suihō Tagawa and Hiroyuki Eto are her main inspirations, and she also mentions her artwork is a mix of both of them. When drawing the series' characters, Alex Louis Armstrong and the little animals are the easiest for her to draw. Due to the fact she likes dogs, Arakawa added several of them in the story.[3] She also adds various muscles to most of the characters fearing that otherwise they may look much too thin to the point they could look unhealthy. Despite being requested several times by fans to show the characters' birthdates, Arakawa has claimed that she never thought of them.[vol. 1. In the two animated adaptations of the Fullmetal Alchemist manga, the characters have been voiced by famous voice actors such as Romi Park and Rie Kugimiya who portray Edward and Alphonse, respectively, in Japanese.

The Fullmetal Alchemist manga and anime series feature an extensive cast of fictional characters created by Hiromu Arakawa. The story is set in a fictional universe.

In the second adaptation, most of the Japanese voice actors were replaced with the exception of a few, including Park and Kugimiya who reprised their roles.[4] On the other hand, most of the English voice actors from the first anime reprised their roles for Brotherhood with the exception of a few such as Aaron Dismuke (Alphonse) and Dameon Clarke (Scar) who are replaced by Maxey Whitehead and J. Michael Tatum, respectively.[5]Protagonists[edit]The Elric brothers (エルリック兄弟,Erurikku- kyōdai), Edward and Alphonse, are the series' main protagonists. Edward Elric[edit]Edward "Ed" Elric (エドワード・エルリック,Edowādo Erurikku), the "Fullmetal Alchemist" (鋼の錬金術師,Hagane no Renkinjutsushi), is the youngest State Alchemist in history, joining the program at the age of 1.

He and his younger brother, Alphonse, scour the world in search of the Philosopher's Stone (賢者の石,Kenja no Ishi), in the hopes of restoring their bodies. Edward lost his left leg in a futile attempt to revive his mother, Trisha, using Alchemy, and lost his right arm in exchange for attaching Alphonse's soul to a suit of armor. Edward now employs the use of metal prosthetics, known as automail (機械鎧(オートメイル),ōtomeiru), as replacement limbs. However, as attempting to resurrect a human opens a portal called the Gate of Truth (真理の扉,Shinri no Tobira) to allow the committer/s to see the Truth (真理,Shinri), Edward gained great knowledge of the universe as well as the powerful ability to perform transmutations without transmutation circles. Edward is smart, brave and even bold, but also has a prideful tendency to be harsh and arrogant. He harbors a sharp sensitivity to his short height; a recurring gag in both manga and the anime series is for Edward to overly react to people who call him short.[ch. 2]Romi Park and Vic Mignogna voice him in the Japanese and English versions, respectively. In the live- action film adaptation, he is portrayed by Ryosuke Yamada.

Alphonse Elric[edit]Alphonse "Al" Elric (アルフォンス・エルリック,Arufonsu Erurikku), is Edward's younger brother. Together, both of them scour the country in search of the Philosopher's Stone in the hopes of restoring their bodies. Unlike Ed, who lost one of his legs in the failed attempt to revive the brothers' mother, Al lost his entire body.

At the last moment, and at the cost of one of his arms, Ed sealed Al's soul in a giant suit of armor, making Al almost invulnerable.[ch. 2]Rie Kugimiya voices him in the Japanese series, Aaron Dismuke in the first English series,ep. Maxey Whitehead in the second English series.[6]Antagonists[edit]Homunculi[edit].
