Steel Refinement: The Complete Series HD Anime and Manga Collection - 1080p Ultra HD Anime
The Alchemist of Steel is a manga created by renowned Japanese manga artist Hiroshi Arakawa, which has been a huge success not only in Japan, but even globally. The original manga was first serialized in 2001, and was adapted into anime by BONES Animation in 2003 and 2009 respectively, which was well received by the audience.
Initially, Hiroshi Arakawa's conception was not intended to be a long serialized story, but was planned as a finished short work, set in a story in which two brothers embark on an arduous journey to recover their lost bodies. During this journey, they use alchemy to create lakes and other miracles, gradually unraveling the mystery of alchemy. However, the direction of the story gradually changes and the author decides to extend it into a series. Although it was initially set up that the protagonist was only 18 years old and that his father's soul was transferred into a flying squirrel after failing in an alchemy experiment, these initial settings changed as the plot progressed.
For the anime adaptation, the production company BONES adapted and extended the plot of the original manga to produce several versions, including a TV version, a movie version, and a special feature, each of which has been widely acclaimed. The artwork is tightly integrated with the plot, presenting a story that deeply explores human nature and philosophy.
In addition, author Hiroshi Arakawa often includes some humor on the front and back covers of her manga and draws images of characters who are about to die in that chapter on the back of each volume, giving readers some teasing and emotional cues. She also includes funny four-panel comics that add a lot of interest to the work.
The storyline of The Alchemist of Steel is complex and philosophical, dealing with themes of human desire, sacrifice and redemption. These elements are one of the reasons why the work has been a favorite among viewers for so long. For fans old and new, watching the series is not only a treat for the senses, but also a profound reflection on life and humanity.
