Question
Where can i find and download free but LEGAL full metal alchemist episodes in good quality? I looked everywhere and mostly iv for torrents and downloading tv shows from bittorrent is illegal, sadly. all i want to do is just downlaod them and watch them on my brothers computer that has no internet access when my mom is on her desktop, at night. i luv this anime and need to watch the rest of it, iv only watched a few episodes and theres like 51! please if you can help me id really appreciate it. thanks

Answer
The thing is, there is no such thing as free and LEGAL for an entire series. I admit, for some promos of anime companies they will give free DVDs and download codes for maybe a few episodes usually the beginning of the series they are promoting, but that is only one exception. Fulllmetal Alchemist isn't a new series to be released and therefore can easily be purchased via DVDs and maybe even itunes and netflix downloads. There may also be streaming videos on sites like hulu or even the company who releases the anime's own website, but as for a free download...that's highly unlikely.

If you truly love this series, I suggest you purchase the dvds which have recently been released in season box sets. If you wait even longer it is likely that it may be re-released in a thinpack and more affordable box set, but that's only my hypothesis.

If you want, I can recommend where to buy the DVDs, as I've already mentioned the two best places I know for legal download. Feel free to ask a follow up, otherwise I wish you the best of watchings. Hope that helped.
