As the popular fantasy adventure Fullmetal Alchemist continues, the filmmakers give the audience a respite from the intense action with a silly episode about Lt. Havoc's blind date with Major Armstrong's sister. (Fortunately for both them, she looks nothing like the burly Major.) As the story begins to build to its climax, the significance of seemingly unrelated events becomes clearer. Sheska the librarian shares her research into the death of Gen. Hughes with Winry, and the evidence suggests a link to the Ishbalan war and the mysterious Col. Juliet Douglas who may have inadvertently triggered it. Ed and Al reach the ruins of Ishbal and learn the real story of its destruction from the chimera Meta--before Cols. Mustang and Kimbley arrive with a small army. Even the city of Liore, where Ed exposed a false prophet at the beginning of the series, is linked to Ishbal and the quest for the Philosopher's Stone. Viewers also discover the origins of the Homunculus Lust, and her links to the Elrics' enemy, Scar. (Rated TV PG: violence, grotesque imagery, tobacco and alcohol use) --Charles Solomon

Customer Reviews

A roll of the dice
*Yes* you will read this same review on each of the DVDs for this series. I do not own them all as of yet, but have seen the series in it's entirety.

I am absolutely impressed with this show. The first time I watched any of it, I was not the least bit interested. I'm a definate anime fan, however, I'm very select about what I choose to watch (no sailor moon, or pokemon for myself thanks!). My original take on this show was that it was over-hyped and childish. At the time I was involved in another set of shows and was content, but when I finished those shows this series was rerunning from the beginning on cartoon network's adult swim, so, with nothing else to watch I thought I would give it another chance.

This time I fell in love with it, it has become one of my favorite anime's to date! The story is very indepth, and detailed. There isn't near as much "fan-service" as in other shows which can take away from the show itself, and it has relevant undertones.

I am a fan of shows like Cowboy Bebop, Trinity Blood, Trigun, Big O, FLCL (Fooly Cooly), Samuria Champloo, and such. If you share similar interests, then you may very well enjoy this show!

IT JUST KEEPS ON GETTING BETTER
This is an amazing series, with such a powerful theme and just enough comedy to lighten the mood.
What keeps me interested and amazed by this series is that it can appeal to a wide age range and the plot is rich enough to create a positive explosion of thought and reflection. The bond between the brothers is inspiring and the loyalty that the ""military dogs" have for the major is artistically shown in this DVD.

I won't go into detail about the episodes since, lots of others have done so eloquently, but I hope that this is enough to persuade you into buying the entire collection.

Excellent Series
This show is one of the greatest anime shows available. The characters are good, as well as the story line. A very engrossing show for people of all ages.
