Many animes try to blend humor and deeper meaning, with varying degrees of success. The first season of Fullmetal Alchemist, at least, has a nearly perfect blend. Al and Ed are brothers who dabble in forbidden alchemy, leading to a quest for the philosopher’s stone. The first episode where the brothers attempt to bring their dead mother back to life is a bit gruesome.
