Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, known in Japan as Fullmetal Alchemist, is the second independent anime adaptation developed by Bones from the Fullmetal Alchemist manga series by Hiromu Arakawa.[1] While the studio Bones produces the new series, Yasuhiro Irie works as director and Hiroshi Ōnogi as writer.[1][2] The series follows the story of two alchemist brothers, Edward and Alphonse Elric, who want to restore their bodies after a disastrous failed attempt to bring their mother back to life through alchemy.

The series premiered on April 5, 2009 on MBS-TBS' Sunday 5:00 pm JST anime timeblock, replacing Mobile Suit Gundam 00.[3] On March 20, 2009, it was announced that it would receive its English language premiere on Animax Asia, with Japanese audio and English subtitles, from April 10, 2009 at 8:30 p.m, five days after its Japanese premiere.[4] On April 3, 2009, Funimation announced they would stream English subtitled episodes 4 days after they air in Japan. Funimation later suspended the release of new episodes of the series for a few weeks due to an incident involving an episode of One Piece being downloaded before it had aired in Japan.[5] However, the episodes are now back on the Funimation website as well as on the official Funimation channel on Youtube.[6] The episodes become available for streaming from Funimation every Thursday at 10 a.m. CDT [7]. All episodes are also available on Hulu, and new episodes are added 14 days after their airing. Madman Entertainment will also stream it "within days" of the episodes airing in Japan.[8] English Dubbed episodes of the show will start showing February 13 at midnight on [adult swim] part of their Saturday anime block.

Aniplex started releasing the series in DVD and Blu-ray on August 26, 2009. The first one contains two episodes and an original video animation (OVA) named The Blind Alchemist.[9] A second OVA, Simple People, was released on December 23, 2009 alongside the fifth volume which contains four episodes. Other volumes feature four episodes and no OVAs.[10]

Brotherhood's music composer is Akira Senju.[11] Eight pieces of theme music have been used so far in Brotherhood. The respective opening and ending themes for episodes 1-14 are "Again" by Yui, and "Uso" (嘘, lit. "Lie") by SID. From episode 15-26, the respective opening and ending themes are "Hologram" by Nico Touches the Walls, and "Let It Out" by Miho Fukuhara. From episode 27-38, the respective opening and ending themes are "Golden Time Lover" by Sukima Switch, and "Tsunaida Te" (つないだ手, lit. "Tied Hands") by Lil'B. From episode 39 onwards, the respective opening and ending themes are "Period" by Chemistry, and "Shunkan Sentimental" (瞬間センチメンタル, lit. "Sentimental Moment") by SCANDAL.[12]
