Anime

There are two anime series in the Fullmetal Alchemist franchise, both of which are based on the original manga series:
 * Fullmetal Alchemist, the first anime series which originally aired from 2003 to 2004. The first half of this series is only loosely based on the original manga. The series consists of 51 episodes and a feature-length film, Fullmetal Alchemist The Movie: Conqueror of Shamballa, as well as several original video animations.
 * Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, the second anime series which began airing in 2009. Despite having a different title, this version follows the original manga series, unlike its predecessor.
