Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood/Episodes

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is a 64 episode Japanese anime series developed and produced by Bones. It is the second independent anime adaptation developed by Bones from the Fullmetal Alchemist manga series by Hiromu Arakawa. While the studio Bones produced the new series, Yasuhiro Irie worked as director, and Hiroshi Ōnogi as writer. The series follows the story of two alchemist brothers, Edward and Alphonse Elric, who want to restore their bodies after a disastrous failed attempt to bring their mother back to life through alchemy went awry. Unlike the first anime, which had its own original story, the second series follows the story of the manga.

The series premiered in Japan on April 5, 2009, on MBS-TBS's Sunday 5:30 pm JST anime timeblock, replacing Mobile Suit Gundam 00.
