== Trivia ==
# The official name for this show in Japan is "Fullmetal Alchemist" which was renamed as "Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood" in the English version. The reason for the renaming was to avoid confusing it with the first series which also shared the same title.
# In the Episode 58, a character resembling Dante, the main villain from the first Fullmetal Alchemist anime series is seen in a cameo appearance.
# The English voice actors for Lust and Mustang, Laura Bailey and Travis Willingham, are married in real life.
# Isaac is a new, original character, not present in the FMA manga or the previous animated productions. He was expressly created for this new anime, and he was designed by 'Hiromu Arawawa' herself (the original creator).
# Romi Park, Rie Kugimiya, Kenji Utsumi, Hidekatsu Shibata, Kazuki Yao, Shouko Tsuda and Keiji Fujiwara are the only voice actors to reprise their original roles, while Yûji Uedareturns as the voice of Jean Havoc instead of Zolf Kimblee, and Nana Mizuki returns as Lan Fan instead of Wrath (not to be confused with King Bradley, as Wrath from the first anime was a completely different character and Bradley was instead the Homunculus Pride in that series).
# In the English dub, the metallic 'squink' in Alphonse's voice is created by using a metal bowl perched on top of a stand. The same technique was also used in the first dub of the 2003 series. Maxey Whitehead the new voice of Alphonse also remarked that Mike McFarland has never washed the bowl to prevent any misshaping.
# In the 2003 FMA, The Elric brothers leave their hometown and burn down their house on October 3, 1910. In this version, they leave and burn their house down on October 3, 1911.
# Edward greatly dislikes milk, either for its taste, the fact that it is "an opaque, white liquid secreted by a cow" or both. He does, however, greatly enjoy stew and marvels that something comprised mainly of milk can taste so good. It is often joked about in both the manga and the anime the reason he is so short is because he refuses to drink milk. Incidentally, Hiromu Arakawa grew up on a dairy farm as a child.
# In the volume 2 extras of the manga, Ed is asked how tall he really was. He replied that he was 165 cm (about 5'5") tall. However, this height also included his elevator shoes and hair antenna - his true height at the time was 141 cm (about 4'8"). By Chapter 84, he is shown to be taller than Winry, implying that he has at least attained his 165 cm stature.
# The Brazilian voice actors for Alex Louis Armstrong and Roy Mustang, Gilberto Baroli and Hermes Baroli, are father and son in real life.
# In the English dub of first FMA anime and the English-released manga, Greed's henchmen, Martel (anime only), Roa, and Dolcetto were changed to Marta, Law (or Loa in the English manga), and Dorchett. In the English version of this series however they were given their original names.
# This is the first Fullmetal Alchemist related anime to not have Aaron Dismuke as the voice of Alphonse in the English dub. This is due to his voice changing from puberty after the dubbing of the first series and was replaced by Maxey Whitehead. However he is still part of the cast as the voice of Young Van Hohenheim in Episode 40. Making this the first time he voices a Fullmetal Alchemist character who isn't Alphonse.
# Brice Armstrong, Dameon Clarke, Lauren Nicole Goode, and Scott McNeil were the only voice actors to not reprise their original roles or provide any voice work for this series English dub.
