Right now I am reading the FullMetal Alchemist series. The main characters are the two Elric brothers. the older and shorter one, Edward, has a auto-mail (mechanical) right arm and left leg. he also gets mad whenever someone calls him short. The younger and taller one, Alphonse, is a soul trapped in a suit of armor. The two are alchemists. They can draw transmution circles to change (for example) a broken shed into a perfectly fixed one.
Obviously the brothers are very unrealistic. They have an immortal father, they tried to transmute thier mother from the dead but lost thier body peices in the process, and Al isn't even human anymore. This and they go around looking for the philosopher's stone which can multiply the alchemists powers tenfol and gices regenerative properties.
What is "Full Metal Alchemist?" There is alchemy, which is the medieval process of turning lead into gold, and there is full metal, which, if you add 'Jacket' into the end, becomes FMJ Bullets, or Full Metal Jacket rounds, which are metal-cased bullets, usually something like gliding metal on the outside, with a soft metal, usually lead, on the inside which doesn't expand as fast as other bullets.
