Movie Reviews of Fullmetal Alchemist: The Complete Second Season
Movie Review: The second half of the Fullmetal Alchemist anime series
Summary: 5 Stars
Fullmetal Alchemist The Complete Second Season is a four-disc set that contains episodes twenty-six through fifty-one of the series. The first disc contains seven episodes, the second disc contains six episodes, the third disc contains six episodes, and the fourth disc contains six episodes, a commentary on episode fifty-one, and the extras. On the discs, you can watch with either English or Japanese audio, and you can choose whether or not to have the English subtitles.
The first extra included on the fourth disc is a thirty-one minute documentary titled, "The Transmutation of a Phenomenon." This documentary includes interviews with some of the actors for the English dub, and they talk about various aspects of the series and their characters.
The next feature is labeled as "Square Enix Commercial." It runs for two minutes, and is an ad for the Fullmetal Alchemist 2: Curse of the Crimson Elixir videogame. The third special feature on the disc is the textless openings and closings. This feature includes two of the openings and two of the closings for the series. Unlike the first box set, you don't get the English subtitles on the openings and closings if you're watching with Japanese audio. The final extra are trailers for Project Blue Earth SOS, One Piece, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT, Glass Fleet, Ragnarok, Tsubasa, and Case Closed.
When this DVD set was put together, FUNimation included the booklets from the seven individual discs that were released that included these episodes. The first booklet starts with episode twenty-five, which was released on the first Fullmetal Alchemist box set. Outside of that, everything else lines up. Each booklet contains at least one write-up from someone involved with the series (the first six booklets contain a write-up from one of the Japanese voice actors, while the final booklet contains write-ups from two of the actors from the English dub who also directed the dubbing sessions). There is also character information and images, information from the series, artwork, and episode write-ups. The booklets are very well-done and contain a lot of information.
The quality of the series continues to be very high on this box set. That, along with the quality of the booklets, make this a release worth owning. If you're a fan of Fullmetal Alchemist who wants to own the whole series on DVD, then this box set should be part of your anime collection.
In order to write this review, I watched a copy of this DVD box set that was given to me as a gift by my husband.
Summary of Fullmetal Alchemist: The Complete Second Season
When the Elric brothers recklessly attempted to raise their mother from the dead, the horrors they unleashed marked the beginning of a long journey into the darkest corners of the cruelty of mankind. Now, destinies are converging for those who remain to fight for the light of salvation.The hunt for the truth behind truths is growing more desperate, and ruined Ishbal waits at the end of a road choked with wreckage both human and soulless. Amid rumors of new war and resurrected horrors of the past, hidden masters rush their pawns down this path of betrayal and doubt. As these seekers of the Philosopher?s Stone grasp for answers, the most sacred tenet of Alchemy is questioned ? The Law of Equivalent Exchange. But the harshest judgment is reserved for the belief on which the Elrics have built their lives ? the faith in an unbreakable bond between brothers. Weary and broken, Edward and Alphonse must face the ultimate sacrifice. Will it be enough to make them whole?
The Season 2 Box Set contains the Complete Second Season - Episodes 26-51.
