On this short edition of Out of Frame, we answer your calls to do an anime-related episode through “Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood”. In the series, brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric grow up seeing the traumatic residual effects of war through their parents and adults around them. The State Alchemists who came before them were ordered by the government to carry out a brutal slaughter after an incident sparks chaos. Although some sympathy is due for the horrors they saw, there is a cost to blindly trusting people in power. Exactly what that cost is and what the solution is, we cover in this episode.
