What Is Human?

"The moral issues presented in FMA is something you'd find in some of the more classical works of literature, not in an anime aimed at teenagers. Yet it all works as the series never gets away from the fact that it is dealing with some of the most basic concepts of being human. Hell, FMA's bad-guys are even named after the Seven Deadly Sins.

This volume continues with Ed and Al's fight within and outside the prison against creatures that are very akin to Alphonse. Eventually, though, the brother's find themselves facing off against the main antagonists of the series (the aforementioned Seven Deadly Sins). Later, Alphonse must face the fact that he's losing his memories and must also figure out a few things on his own, like whether or not he ever truly existed as the brother to Edward Elric, and what exactly it is to be human. Also, Scar takes center stage more than once in this volume in a somewhat surprising way...

FMA's ability to juggle the massive cast is brilliant. I think I can name almost every character in FMA (and for me, this is something as I'm very forgetful of names), simply because each and every character has something endearing about them. That includes the bit-players who are there simply to fill a moment of the series or to progress a specific scene ahead.

If you haven't started collecting FMA yet, then start quickly. There aren't many anime out right now that can top FMA. It has everything great anime has: great story, great characters, great music, great animation. Though it may be cliche to say this, FMA is one of the top five anime ever created, and any fan of anime would be foolish to let this slip by them."

"So far we're 8 volumes into Fullmetal Alchemist and I have to say initially I was planning on waiting to buy these in some large pack for a reduced or bargin price. But, temptation got the better of me and you know it should get the better of you.

If you haven't already purchased the first seven volumes in this series I have to ask why? Fullmetal Alchemist is right up there with the greats of Anime. You'll never find two more loveable protagonists, action, side splitting humor, and momments that just stay with you. Don't just take it from me go catch a few episodes on Cartoon Network and you'll see for yourself."

The Journey of the Two Brothers is Far From Over

"Fullmetal Alchemist is a great show in general, but I like this dvd a lot. Out of all the animes I've seen, this is the only one I enjoy. It has drama, action, a bit of horror and comedy. This dvd also reveals a lot of things to the audience, and to the story line as well. I would at least give this dvd (and the show) a four."
