EPISODE CONTEXT

As Episode 1 of 64, this anime-original introduction bypasses the manga's opening chapters entirely, instead showcasing the Elric brothers mid-career to hook viewers with action and establish the world's power structures. Episode 2, 'The First Day,' circles back to the brothers' origins and begins the true chronological narrative. Consider this a stylish cold open for the entire series rather than a critical plot foundation.
