As the popular fantasy-adventure Fullmetal Alchemist continues, Edward Elrich uses his wits, as well as his professional skills, to give a corrupt military officer a well-deserved comeuppance. Based on the story "The Mining Town" in the first collection of Hiromu Arakawa's original manga, this adventure proves that "Be Thou for the People" isn't just a motto for the Elrich Brothers. The citizens of the played-out gold rush town of Xenotime refuse to accept Edward and Alphonse for who they are because two strangers have assumed their identities. Both pairs of brothers learn and teach valuable lessons as they defeat a murderous land baron who's after the Philosopher's Stone. Every episode of this winning series delivers what the viewers want: adventure, magic, slapstick, and Edward's inevitable rants about his diminutive stature. But Fullmetal Alchemist also delivers something that's become rare in American and Japanese animation: heart. (Rated TV PG: violence, minor risqué humor, alcohol and tobacco use) --Charles Solomon

Customer Reviews

good stuff
I have been keeping track of this series for a while now and am still collecting all the DVDs I got this one a while back and still pop it in from time to time just to watch them all over again.

good stuff, can be a bit corny at times but still a great series, you really need to get them all starting from the begining so that you can understand what is going on and get the full story.

fullmetal rocks
if you love Fullmetal Alchemist you need this and all the volumes for that matter

Not the best episodes...
In my opinion, the episodes in this cd barely moved the plot along, but I watched them nonetheless. Don't get me wrong, I love the series, but I didn't believe that the stories contained in this compilation met the requirements of the plot as I had hoped...
