Full Metal Alchemist is the story of Edward and Alphonse Elric, two alchemist brothers. When they were younger they tried to resurrect their mother using alchemy, but failed. As a result Edward lost his right arm and left leg, and had to bind Alphonse's soul to a suit of armor. Ed later took the test to become a State Alchemist, and despite his young age passed, gaining the title 'Full Metal'. Now, the two brothers search for the Philosopher's Stone (Harry Potter, anyone..?) in hopes of gaining back their original bodies.
