In short: If your an anime fan, or just dipping your toes, FullMetal Alchemist is a showcase of wonderful characters and plot, action, drama, tears and laughs. This album can still be purchased on Amazon Japan today. The music is great, the Japanese voice actors are amazing, and the English Dub is one of the best I've seen. The Original Soundtrack Fullmetal Alchemist and The Broken Angel (Hagane no Renkinjutsushi - Tobenai Tenshi as it is known in Japan) was released December 25th, 2003 in Japan as a CD and later in America on February 18th, 2004 by Aniplex. Each character is developed and deep to it's full extent.
Now the Characters, from Edward to Envy, Winry to Hughes, Scar to Rose, Riza to Roy, all characters have something special about them, and it will make you feel a deep compassion for them, weather it's Edward or Roy. It explains that what's gone is gone, and we can't bring it back, people die for a reason, people die for no reason, life isn't fair, you only get what you give, all good things come to an end and we can only make the best of what we're given. Some might say it's too dark, I disagree, it's just honest. This series will make you laugh, feel a very deep compassion for the characters, want to make you scream in rage, make you want to scream with happiness, and yes, even cry. For those of you have heard this series can't compare with Naruto and Bleach, no, it can't, it's 100x better. If I were to pick one word to describe FullMetal Alchemist, Hagane no renkinjutsushi, it would amazing, or ohmygod, or simply just a drop of the jaw and 'wow.' But that wouldn't do something this great justice.
