full metal alchemist

I have posted a few posts about naruto...just to change the flavour a bit...i am starting this post about FMA

Those who don't know...full metal alchemist is based in an alternate world (a parallel universe) where alchemy and not the laws of physics, rule. Alchemy states that you can create any object if the composition of the object and the raw materials are available...for example if you have hydrogen and oxygen, you can create water...if you have steel, you can create a sword...but you cannot put life into anything you make and human transformations are absolutely forbidden.

those who try to create human beings from the raw materials are absolute sinners and this process creates what is called a homunculus (there are seven, one for each sin: lust,greed,envy,sloth,gluttony,wrath,pride)

the story revolves around edward elric and his brother...but let's leave that for another post
