Movie Review: Great Ending to a Great Anime
Summary: 5 Stars
Obviously, this DVD set won't make any sense if you haven't seen the first 40 episodes. But if you have mdae it this far, be prepared to have all (actually, probably most) of your questions answered. This is a spectacular finale to a spectacular anime. Do not pass this one up.
Summary of Fullmetal Alchemist: Season Two, Part 2
As the chaos surrounding the quest for the Philosopher's Stone boils over, Edward Elric is left to face his destiny and bear the burdens of his actions alone. Scar, determined to reenact the horrors of the past, must be stopped at all cost. But when those who sought to save lives are instead sought as fugitives of the State, the Elric brothers will be forced to flee.Alliances shift and factions fracture as undeniable truths glare in the light of day and the rumor of civil war drives unrest. And yet all seek the Philosopher's Stone. Al has been changed into something impossible to comprehend and as the brothers are separated, his suit of armor begins to disintegrate. Ed has precious little time left to find his sibling. These weary young men have traveled a long and difficult path, seeking to regain what was lost. Enemies have been toppled, friends have been buried and the State will be remade. Even the one inevitable truth will be called into question - The Law of Equivalent Exchange.
These episodes bring the Fullmetal Alchemist series to its appropriately moving climax. Director Seiji Mizushima and screenwriter Shou Aikawa ratchet up the emotional intensity as they draw together the threads of the narrative, beginning with the terrible night when Al and Ed tried to resurrect their mother. In Liore, Scar uses the arcane knowledge of the Ishbalans and the lives of hundreds of soldiers to create a Philosopher's Stone. But the Elric Brothers have no time to explore its power: The Homunculi and the Military are circling them like sharks. Complicating matters further is the appearance of Hohenheim of Light, the boys' long-lost father. Newly promoted General Mustang and Major Armstrong launch a revolt against King Bradley as disagreements among the Homunculi escalate into violence. Alphonse tries to learn how to use the Philosopher's Stone to aid his brother, asking the despicable Shou Tucker for instruction. The fate of their world (and, possibly, this one) is at stake as Ed and Al are put to the ultimate test: If they fail, the Homunculi will continue their murderous rampage. But Fullmetal Alchemist isn't just a simple good versus evil story, as revelations about the origins of Envy and the role of Hohenheim prove. A truth even greater than the law of Equivalent Exchange prevails: the love between Alphonse and Edward Elric. The skillful blend of drama, adventure, and comedy make Fullmetal Alchemist a truly noteworthy series in the history of anime, one whose influence is sure to be felt for years to come. At the end of the last disc, viewers may feel the sort of emptiness readers experience when Sherlock Holmes goes over Reisenbach Falls. But the final episodes set up the feature, The Conqueror of Shamballa and Hiromu Arakawa's manga continues. (Rated TV PG: violence, grotesque imagery, nudity, tobacco use) --Charles Solomon
