Story context
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (TV 2009)
Edward and Alphonse Elric are trying to repair the damage left by an attempt to bring their mother back through alchemy. Their search for a way to recover their bodies draws them into problems larger than their own family. The useful thread to follow is responsibility: each new possibility asks what the brothers, and the people helping them, are prepared to sacrifice.
A second premise to compare
JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken Part 7: Steel Ball Run
Johnny Joestar encounters Gyro Zeppeli at the start of a vast race through the American frontier. The competition brings together money, ambition and powers that its ordinary rules cannot explain. On the page, the route is more than scenery: each stage changes what the competitors need from one another and what they are willing to risk.
