Teachings that do not speak of pain have no meaning, because humankind cannot gain something without first giving something in return. In alchemy, to obtain something, something of equal value must be lost—this is equivalent exchange.

Join hosts Ellen, Kassem, and Kayla as we read through Fullmetal Alchemist by Hiromu Arakawa chapter by chapter, exploring every twist, turn, explosion, transmutation-gone-awry, and moment of connection (and hubris) the series has to offer. Fans old and new will enjoy deep discussion—and a few tangents and laughs along the way.

Amazing podcast!

Love the podcast and the hosts! At first, I was a bit unsure about such long episodes, especially since they’re not very organized, but I have quickly grown to enjoy them nonetheless.

Brings back memories

FMA was my childhood, I remember watching it on AS so this brings back some great memories. The hosts really understand the material and present it in an entertaining manner that shows they really put a lot of thought into it. Be sure to check it out!
