The third volume of the FMA manga covers the Elric brothers’ trip back to Risembool to get Edward’s automail arm fixed (it was destroyed by Scar), the research at Central’s library into the Philosopher’s Stone, and most of the Laboratory 5 incident. The first animated series stayed pretty faithful to this portion overall.

Hiromu Arakawa’s long running manga, Fullmetal Alchemist, has had the luxury of not only being extremely popular both in Japan and here in the U.S., but recieving two anime adaptations. The first was helmed by director Seiji Mizushima in 2003, and ran for 51 episodes. The second will air this year, helmed by Yasuhiro Irie. The two series were/are productions of Studio Bones, known for its high quality productions.
