Episode 1: Fullmetal Alchemist (2009 series)

Fullmetal Alchemist is the premiere episode of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, which aired in Japan on April 5, 2009. While the Brotherhood series intends to be much closer to the original manga storyline, the first episode is entirely composed of new material, with both an exclusive plot and exclusive characters.

Summary
The Fullmetal Alchemist, Edward Elric, along with the assitance of his younger brother Alphonse, is assigned by Colonel Roy Mustang to find and capture renegade state alchemist, Isaac McDougal (a character exclusive to the Brotherhood series), once known as the "Freezing Alchemist."

As revenge for the atrocities he and his comrades commited in the Ishval Civil War, McDougal intends to destroy the entire city of Central, using the power of the Philosopher's Stone to help him.
