List of Fullmetal Alchemist episodes
Wikimedia list article
Fullmetal Alchemist is an anime television series loosely based on the manga series Fullmetal Alchemist by Hiromu Arakawa. Set in a fictional universe in which alchemy is one of the most advanced scientific techniques, the story follows two alchemist brothers named Edward and Alphonse Elric, who want to recover parts of their bodies lost in an attempt to bring their deceased mother back to life through alchemy.
Produced by Bones and directed by Seiji Mizushima, the series aired in Japan on MBS and TBS from October 4, 2003, to October 2, 2004. It later aired on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming block in the United States from November 7, 2004, to March 19, 2006. An anime film titled Fullmetal Alchemist the Movie: Conqueror of Shamballa, a sequel to the television series, premiered in Japanese theaters on July 23, 2005; and it premiered in the U.S. on August 24, 2006. A series of five original video animations (OVAs) were also released. The majority of these OVAs are side stories and do not expand on the plot. In 2009, an anime television series reboot, titled Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood for the English release, started broadcast on MBS and TBS, being directed by Yasuhiro Irie. Brotherhood is an independent second adaptation that directly follows the events of the manga and ignores the original anime's continuity.
The first series has been released in a series of thirteen DVDs from December 17, 2003, to January 26, 2005, in Japan.

Why this record matters
The phrase “wikimedia list article” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2328804. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2003, 2004, 2006 and 2005.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
