I watched it when the dub was free on animelab - highly recommend it!

"Brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric hoped to resurrect their mother when they attempted human transmutation, but their reckless defiance of Alchemy's Law of Equivalent Exchange resulted in tragic failure. There is but one way the Elrics can restore what was lost - find the fabled Philosopher’s Stone. Sinful abominations, both natural and unnatural, will try to keep the boys from their redemption - but the Elrics must forge ahead if despair is to be transmuted into peace."

Also Black Butler Season 1 - Thanks

    The dub in this one is pretty damn good, and I say this as someone who watched the subbed version first. Some would say its even better than the original.

    Additionally, this anime is up there with the greats in my opinion (MyAnimeList also has it as the #1 anime). The "season" being offered is also a good taster for the rest of the show.

    One thing though, if you have Chrome 45 or above, you can't watch it on that browser as it doesn't support Microsoft Silverlight. This goes for all the other animes offered prior (Naruto Shippuden, Fairy Tail & Steins Gate).

    one of the best english dubs ever.

    on par with bebop, samurai champloo and death note.

  • Time to rewatch it for the n-th time.

    Free??

    Human kind can not gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain something of equal value must be lost. That is Alchemy's first law of equivalent exchange.

        Considering he has 16 positive votes at this time, the law of equivalent exchange would mean you get 16 negative votes, nothing personal, it is the law ;-)

        Implying an anime fan has any dignity to give.

    I think this is a very "approachable" anime for people who otherwise don't like or have stereotypical views about Japanese Animation.

    It is very well made and the English dubs are very good. Proper voice acting, not that phoned-in crap you often get.

    Don't even like anime.

    Got it anyway.

      just finally finished the 3 death note movies. absolutely awesome movies, even english dub had the anime dub voice actors…. just great stuff

  • Is it possible to download it?

    • There's an extension in Firefox where you can DL a video you are watching, i don't know if that would work on this site though.

    • why would you go to all that effort to commit copyright crimes if you can just fire up the torrent and pull it down that way?

      • +1

        Because from a technical standpoint he has a much higher (but still outrageously low) chance of getting caught downloading from a torrent over downloading from this site. Not that I'm advocating copyright infringement or believe in any way that the copy from this site would be in any way up to the quality of a 1080p BD FLAC torrent…just answering your question.

        • once you break the browser based DRM it's just the same as getting it from thepiratebay. That's how the movie studios look at it.

        • +1

          @Makoto: As I said, from a technical standpoint there's a difference.

          As far as the MS servers are concerned, you're streaming it (streams are actually just downloads to temp files that are sent to either flash player or the HTML5 video element. You won't get any copyright notices in the mail.

          Whereas with torrents, the copyright holders hire companies with automated bots to note IPs downloading popular torrents, send requests to (cooperating) ISPs for names and addresses and send violation mailouts.

        • @IDontWantToSignUpJustToComment: you're still breaking the same laws both ways, there is no difference in regards to the law.

          them emails aren't worth anything anyway. If you really must, create a rule to automatically send them to the trash folder

          @Makoto: I'm clearly aware of that. You asked why you'd download from the MS site over a torrent and I gave a valid reason - easier to get away with it.

    FYI this wouldn't show up in my Windows 10 Films & TV app until I switched my PC's region to the United States.

    • +1

      Thanks, I was just wondering why it isn't showing under the app. Very helpful reminder :)

  • The funny thing is, I haven't downloaded much Anime in the past 10 years, in fact I only have two shows on my hard drives and they are Stein's Gate and Full Metal Alchemist :D

    • get Samurai Champloo, Cowboy Bebop, GTO, Death Note…. start with them anyway :)

      • GTO is a must rewatch again series :)

        • I started with the original live action drama after finishing Ikebukuro West Gate Park, two of my favourites of all time
          Akihabara@Deep is good too if you are into the dramas

        • @Makoto: goddamn those are some titles ive not heard in a long time

          IWGP!!!!

  • 22G to download…….the wait is a real killer

  • Fullmetal Alchemist the movie is free also as a 14 day rental
