Summary:
Two brothers lose their mother to an incurable disease. With the power of "alchemy", they use taboo knowledge to resurrect her. The process fails, and as a toll for using this type of alchemy, the older brother, Edward Elric loses his left leg while the younger brother, Alphonse Elric loses his entire body. To save his brother, Edward sacrifices his right arm and is able to affix his brother's soul to a suit of armor. With the help of a family friend, Edward receives metal limbs - "automail" - to replace his lost ones. With that, Edward vows to search for the Philosopher's Stone to return the brothers to their original bodies, even if it means becoming a "State Alchemist", one who uses his/her alchemy for the military.

I watched the first animation of FMA and when I reached the end I thought 'What the hell kind of ending is that!?'. Yes it was a morbit yet heartwarming ending but the new versions ending is great too, its nice to finish off a series saying "Aaah that was good ending" for a change. As for the plot...its totally different. Compared to the first FMA brotherhood focuses a lot more on the other characters as well. This time round it was a group effort to save the day with added military strategies, it wasn't a case of the world is the hands of the Elric brothers alone. Good luck and Enjoy.
PS.
Watch the first animated version if I must say , it was a lot more emotional. If you want devestating go for FMA(there is an FMA movie that concludes the series) if you want happy with roses ending opt for FMA:brotherhood.
