Their exploits range from thwarting the machinations of a fraudulent and ambitious priest who abuses the faith of his oblivious flock to cunningly extracting an impoverished mining community from the exorbitant clutches of a corrupt official and dealing with a train-hijack situation that owes a serious debt to the film Under Siege. The two are government agents wielding prodigious abilities in alchemy who carry out the hazardous assignments issued by their handlers.

Set in a steam-powered locale that isn't necessarily in our world, the series follows two teenage brothers, Edward and Alphonse Elric one bearing two cybernetic replacement limbs while the other's soul animates a cumbersome suit of armor.

This manga inspired the popular series now airing on the Cartoon Network and captures the show's brand of mystical, action-packed adventure.
