Compare the premise of Hunter x Hunter (2011) (Hunter x Hunter) with Fullmetal Alchemist.

Story context

Hunter x Hunter (2011) (Hunter x Hunter)

Gon enters the Hunter Examination hoping that the same path will eventually lead him to his father. Leorio, Kurapika and Killua arrive with quite different reasons for taking the risk. Their growing partnership is a useful way into the series: the tests establish strengths and disagreements that keep shaping later journeys.

A second premise to compare

Fullmetal Alchemist

Edward and Alphonse use alchemy to attempt the forbidden restoration of their mother, and pay for it with their bodies. Their search for a remedy links a family tragedy to a wider network of institutions and conflicts. Read their progress through the choices they refuse as much as the powers they acquire.
