FullMetal Alchemist is one of the most famous mangas of all time, and it&apos;s so good that it prompted two anime adaptations! In this episode, Garrett &quot;the What&quot; Klinkerman explains the series, and Kadley &quot;the Why&quot; Harmon delves into the historical context behind alchemy and the setting. We hope you enjoy that this episode isn&apos;t as short as Edward Elric!
