(Good) Fullmetal Alchemist

Note: watched the first 4 episodes in Japanese, then switched over to English

Series in one sentence:  
THE FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST IS NOT THE ARMOURED KNIGHT OVER THERE, BUT THIS SMOLL BOI?

Series in more sentences:
Two young brothers try to resurrect their dead mother using magic based in science, called "alchemy", but learn about the sacrifice that is needed in order to get such a wish fulfilled, the hard way. The eldest loses his leg and has to further give up his arm to save his little brother's fleeting soul in time; who now has to live his life as an empty piece of armour.

Obviously not content with this, considering their failure to get their actual mother back, the two go out to find ways to restore their body. The eldest decides to join the military as a state alchemist and hopes to get exposed to more knowledge that'll get his little brother his body back.
 

For as long as I've been on the internet, I've seen people talk about this anime, but I never bothered to check it out. Now that my Netflix uploaded it, I figured I might as well.

It was a lovely ride. There was alot of humor, but also alot of tragedy. I didn't think this was that kind of anime, many characters didn't get a happy ending. Or not happy enough, I should say.
There's little to add, except that the Japanese dub bothered me. Edward's voice was too female for my liking, while he's supposed to be a 15 year old boy. I preferred the English version.

Besides that, a really cool story with the right amount of episodes and pacing to tell it.
