To Chembur: EXACTLY. The reason why I hate them so much is probably 'cuz they exist in real life too >_>

To Famotill: thanks :3!

To Sunny: The plot of FMA? Whoo boy, didn't think you'd want to know. Ok, it's going to be long, so I'll just summarize the 'before the plotline' plotline

Edward Elric and his little bro Alphonse Elric became orphans after their father Hohenheim left their house on a mysterious quest and when their mother Trisha died of a plague. Ever since they were small they've been reading books about alchemy, a fascinating skill that is almost identical to magic. After their mother died, the brothers were adopted by their childhood friend Winry and her granny Pinako. Desperate to see their mother once more, the brothers began studying in secret of the forbidden alchemy skill, Human Transmutation. After being trained by their master in alchemy and combat, the brothers finally found out a formula that could 'bring their mom back'. However, during the transmutation, a rebound occurred, and the Gate took Alphonse's body and Ed's left leg. After seeing the Gate and have complicated alchemy knowledge stuffed into his head by force, Ed returns to the real world without his left leg. Ed, desperate to bring his brother back, wrote a blood rune in a suit of vintage armor, and sacrificed his right arm as a toll to bring his brother's soul back. Although Al is back alive, he can never feel anything he touches, can never sleep or sleep. Ed, after going through a year of pain in order to get metal limbs in replacement for his lost ones, decided to become the dog of the military in order to search for the pure substance, the Philosopher's Stone, that can break the law of alchemy, such as equivalent exchange. He believes that the stone can restore him and his brother's bodies. Ed became the youngest State Alchemist in history ever, and began serving the military.
