Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, Part Five

Over the course of the preceding 52 episodes of this epic anime series, audiences have watched Edward and Alphonse Elric grow from two little boys who did a really bad thing (trying to bring their mom back from the dead using the power of alchemy) into two heroic young men who are willing to risk everything to save the world from an unholy enemy bent on wiping out the human race. It’s been a hell of a ride so far, and the final 12 episodes deliver the perfect ending. The action is still intense, but it is the way the various plot lines are brought together in such a satisfying way that makes you want to go back to the beginning after episode 64 and watch it all over again.
