Abstract
Mythology has always defined the life and culture of people. It survived and it still survives in different shapes of culture especially the popular culture. Anime seems at first like any other means of entertainment, however, it is an important part of the Japanese popular culture that could be a host of different mythological elements. Though it is Japanese, anime incorporates and draws from both Western and Japanese mythologies. So, this work investigates the elements of Western and Japanese mythologies in a well-known anime entitled fullmetal alchemist brotherhood. This research aims at finding the possible source of ideas this anime is based on and its link with Western and Japanese mythology through the use of Myth Criticism.
