Full Metal Achmeist! August 22, 2010
Svjetlana Tatic
When you think of Anime, most people will picture poor animation and terrible dubs.
Part two of the Full Metal Alchemist series is just as good as the first with some of the best dubs I've heard in a long, long time. The animation is good and the storyline is touching.
It is a continuation of a tragic storyline of lost innocence, the desire to set things right, and power among other things.
Another thing that needs to be said is that Full Metal Alchemist- this version at least does not follow the story in the manga. Although it does not follow the manga story arch it is able to stand alone, solidly I might add, and present to you the world and the characters in it. It makes you care for them- feel sad or angry or even astonished. You get a distinct feeling that despite the main characters and everyone else the storyline is bigger than them and for that reason, it wins. :)
I strongly recommend this product to any fan of FMA or even people who are interested in a good anime/show- it is well worth the money spent.
A brief thought on full metal alchemist the second season August 22, 2010
Nabetse
The entire time I watched this second season I couldn't stop. It was that exciting with a lot of plot moving episodes. I was hoping for a different ending, however, I have come to appreciate it after having time away from my initial watching of it. I highly recommend it to anyone who has seen the first half.
A Second Serving of FMA, with a little more than last time July 6, 2010

OK, so FullMetal Alchemist. Have you heard of it? Well apparently it's this worldwide anime phenomenon that every anime lover has to have in their collection. I guess now's your chance with these season sets that FUNimation released in early 2009. Let's get started.
Packaging - 4/5
The packaging is pretty typical on this box set. It has that "modern" DVD Set feel to it, since it's packed with 4 thin-pack DVD's. The artwork on these DVD's are very nice, and were re-used from the original FUNimation single DVD's. The artwork overlaps to the back of the DVD where the episode list for the particular disc can be read. The artwork on the cover does this as well, but stops at the spine. These DVD's are packed with 7 FUNimation Guidebooks that were also re-used from the original half-season box sets. These guidebooks are chocked full of FullMetal goodness whether it's the blurbs written by the Japanese cast and crew, or character artwork, I can see fan-girls squealing over these. Especially with one more than the other box set.
DVD Audio/Video Quality - 5/5
Since these sets were probably produced mid-2008 the video quality is very nice. It's very clear on my parents' HD TV, even though these discs aren't meant to be in HD. The quality doesn't seem remastered, but then again the series was only made in 2003. The audio for both dubs are very good and I can hear every word they say. The music is clearly there and I do love the score for this anime. Subtitles are also included.
Special Features - 5/5
Now, the other box set I reviewed also had special features, but it was average stuff like trailers, commentaries, textless openings/endings, etc. But this one has more. This time there is only one episode with commentary (Episode 51: Laws and Promises), which is okay, but they added a 30 min. documentary with the original voice actors talking about the show. There are still trailers included as well as a trailer for the second video game. Both box sets, overall have excellent special features that will satisfy an otaku's FMA needs.
Value - 5/5
With a little more than last time, this season set is definitely worth your money no matter how how much money you payed for it. I payed $50, which was a fair price for me. Overall pick this up wherever you can find it if your obsessed with FMA as I am!

This version of full metal alchemist is decent compared too the true version that's based off the manga that is "Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood"
Now if you saw this before on TV or online then you should buy this, but if you have not, wait for the "Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood" Boxsets too come out and watch those too see the official storyline and not this fake one.
Well getting passed my personal preference, I gave this boxset four stars because though its not the real storyline it still tells the story in a good way.
It has great voice acting for the characters as well.
And the price I got it for (around $35) wasn't that bad.
So get this boxset along with the first set as well if you want to see another storyline for fullmetal alchemist even though this one isn't the official storyline.
One of the best anime series.... April 3, 2010

Fullmetal Alchemist is one of the best anime series ever. Great storyline, great animation, and characters that you feel for after the first episode. The line between Pure Good and Pure Evil is blurred, as the "Good guys" and the "Bad guys" have both qualities. As one voice actor in the extras state "even the Good guys are broken". The second season takes up where the first leaves off, with the brothers trying to find a way to fix their bodies with the help of alchemy's fabled Philosopher's Stone. I'm not going to spoil anything, but it leaves off for so much more to follow, with the movie "The Conqueror of Shambala" as the follow-up to the series. A must for every anime fan, newbies and anime veterans alike.
