Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

TV Show • 2009 • Animation  

Report

Synopsis

Edward and Alphonse Elric's reckless disregard for alchemy's fun­damental laws ripped half of Ed's limbs from his body and left Al's soul clinging to a cold suit of armor. To restore what was lost, the brothers scour a war-torn land for the Philosopher's Sto­ne, a fabled relic which grants the ability to perform alchemy in impossible ways.The Elrics are not alone in their search; the corrupt State Military is also eager to harness the artifact's power. So too are the strange Homunculi and their shadowy creator. The mythical gem lures exotic alchemists from distant kingdoms, scarring some deeply enough to inspire murder. As the Elrics find their course altered by these enemies and allies, their purpose remains unchanged – and their bond unbreakable.

To name just a few:
Edward (15), Ling (15), Alphonse (14), and Mei (10) all experience serious/life-threatening injuries at various points in the series. Nina (5) is turned into a chimera by her father. Selim (though a few hundred-year-old homunculus, is presented to be around 9-10) gets brutally beaten at the end of the series.

A woman is burned alive and during the scene there is a lot of focus on her chest. The character burning her alive also makes sexual innuendos about her being on her knees.

Episode 24, there is a scene with the Furor walking down a hallway or something. It will show a spooder web with a moth or butterfly flapping around. You’ll see the web long before you see the actual unmentionable. So once you see the web, look away until the scene with the Furor is over.

A battle between Envy (who can regenerate) and Mustang (who can control fire) involves Mustang repeatedly burning Envy's eyes out as a form of torture, shown multiple times as Mustang specifically calls attention to how painful it must be. Definite yes on this one.

It’s a very bloody anime, but it depends on what you consider excessive. There are repeat instances of slicing, stabbing, burning, impalement, amputation, exploding bodies, body horror, corpses, etc. A lot of this is due to monstrous villains that have naturally-regenerating bodies, but also lots of depictions of war/genocide, human experimentation, bloody brawls, and alchemy/magic-gone-wrong. Despite all this, it has a pretty positive tone.

Not sure what all the yes’s are for. The only instance I can think of is in an early episode, when the villain’s attempt at magic backfires and mutilates his arm, which ends up twisted with embedded metal and visibly bent fingers. However the process itself isn’t shown, and he doesn’t act in very much pain. Multiple characters lose arms/legs, but I don’t think that counts.

No humans are shown losing their heads or having their heads destroyed, though some are implied to. But superhuman characters that have the ability to regenerate their (human looking) bodies get their heads destroyed and regrow them a number of times, most graphically in Episode 13 "Beasts of Dublith", this one in particular is shocking and happens suddenly and without warning

One character loses limbs in alchemic accidents, another cuts off their own arm after it is injured badly in a fight. These are both graphic amputations. Several other characters are amputees and also have automail, or artificial limbs, and are sometimes shown without their automail.

Episode 12: a starving child attempts to bite another child in a brief attempt at cannibalism, but is immediately rebuffed. Also, one supernatural character who usually takes on a human appearance "eats" both another supernatural character and a human, but with his supernatural "mouth" not with his human mouth.

Yes, at least twice on screen, maybe more, characters are rather graphically set on fire multiple times until their regenerative abilities stop working and they eventually die. Lots of screaming, so it obviously still hurts even though they aren't human. Also, mentioned quiet a few times, and a minor character is believed to have been burned alive, but this was faked.

One character is literally called the Flame Alchemist, and it's mentioned, and shown, that he used his abilities to help in a military sponsored genocide. He is haunted by this and did not enjoy doing it, so... ? He's not a totally awful person?

A monster-like character that regenerates is repeatedly and horribly burned specifically to cause pain. I don’t think there’s much gore, but lots of fire/explosions and screaming, and some specific body parts (eyes, tongue…) are burned. This is the only instance of torture I can think of. In Episode 53, I think.

During Episode 42, when Hohenheim enters the tunnel, there is a brief period of silence after he notices that an enemy is already present, before a sudden screeching noise as Pride (made entirely of shadows with teeth and eyes grotesquely mashed together) speeds out of the darkness to attack him. It can be quite frightening without warning.

There are a few instances where characters harm themselves, but it's not done out of usual circumstances or depression:

Examples such as a character tearing open her chest to reveal her Philosopher's Stone that allows her to regenerate, and shortly afterwards, Mustang uses Flame Alchemy to burn his own wound to cauterize it, while also carving a magic symbol into his hand in order to cast said Alchemy to fight back.

No. One character is literally a suit of armor and physically cannot eat for most of the show. Another doesn't like milk, but no evidence of eating disorders.

Lots of mentions of armor character wanting to try foods when he gets his body back.

This is much of what drives the Elric brothers to get their bodies back for the entire anime, after one losing an arm and leg, and the other losing his whole body — that his soul was attached to a suit of armor. Comparing to real life, clearly those who are severely injured or amputated have trouble accepting their bodies.

There is a character who is a serial killer and is portrayed as being mentally ill.

GreedLing can be viewed as a character with two alters sharing one body: Ling and Greed, though this is caused through this world's logic.

Initially, they do not get along and Greed tries to keep control of the body, but as the show progresses, the two begin working together and letting each other front.

*Further Spoilers*
Eventually, Greed gets separated from Ling's body and it's seen as a bittersweet, emotional moment for them.

The end of the episode when the "immortal mannequins" that are hanging from the ceiling all get "activated", they all scream at the same time, the screaming caught me off guard and its my biggest noise trigger :( they scream and moan in agony in their later appearances too so I make sure to keep the sound muted when they appear

Episode 11, "Miracle at Rush Valley". Nothing graphic or body-horror-like, but the situation is depicted as extremely stressful due to suboptimal circumstances as the mother is giving birth. Everyone involved is fine in the end.

No hate-speech from the author directed toward a minority group, but plot-wise, the leader of the nation decrees mass genocide of a certain group of people.

^ there are shower scenes where an important tattoo is shown, but nothing explicit is shown because the tattoo is on her back. it does reference the tattoo and i believe it shows it in a later episode.

No "car crashes" in how you would typically think of them. Worth noting: Ep 46 "Looming Shadows" - A train is blown up with people on it. Ep. 56 "Return of the Fuhrer" - a tank is destroyed with people in it. Ep 58 "Sacrifices" - two cars explode with people in them.

Not a nuclear explosion, but one character's alchemy is literally blowing things up. If you're uncomfortable with it, avoid watching anytime Kimblee is mentioned, cause he really enjoys what he does, and it's sickening.
