Synopsis

Fullmetal Alchemist (2003), Season 1 — 51 episodes of the iconic anime you can watch online on iFILM. Edward and Alphonse Elric broke the one rule of alchemy trying to bring their mother back. Ed lost an arm and a leg; Al's soul ended up chained inside an empty suit of armor.

To undo that, the brothers enter state service and chase the philosopher's stone across the country. The season opens as an adventure road-trip — eccentric towns, shady alchemists, early bosses — then slowly turns darker. The Ishbal massacre, the true cost of making the Stone, the homunculi, a hidden power steering the military from behind: each revelation raises the stakes higher than the last. Halfway through, the series commits fully to tragedy.

The 2003 adaptation diverges from Hiromu Arakawa's manga in its second half and builds toward its own standalone conclusion — what sets it apart from Brotherhood. Viewers who want the full scope of the Fullmetal Alchemist universe will find this season essential. Stream Fullmetal Alchemist Season 1 all episodes online on iFILM.
