Fullmetal Alchemist 6 - Captured Souls [DVD]

I'm a huge fan of FMA in general and have already watched all the Brotherhood episodes and really wanted to also se the 2003 version. It's a bit of a pain to see the start be told slightly different, but in these four episodes there is actually quite a lot of differences from the Brotherhood version that got me totally hooked because I really want to get to the point where they start doing their own thing - that's where the shows truelly shine. So I really really loved these episodes and they are some of my fav episodes!The animation looks so good and it's amazing that's it's about 10 years old! After I got used to the English dub after listening mostly to the Japanese dub I just can't decide which version to watch, because they're both really well done. All in all a very interesting and entertaining anime - highly recomend watching it.Thanks for reading my review - I hope it was helpful! :)

Another four episodes of Fullmetal Alchemist and this time round the episodes reveal some of the secrets behind laboratory five. During episodes 21, 22 and 23 Ed searches the laboratory for the secrets of the Philosophers Stone and encounters an old enemy while outside Al teams up with Scar to defeat the armour bound Barry the Chopper. With the defeat of the transmuted serial killer Scar and Al search for Ed but are set upon by the Homunculi who capture Al in an attempt to force his brother into creating a Philosophers Stone using criminals from the prison. The final episode on this volume, episode 24, sees Ed and Al in hospital awaiting the arrival of Winry for repairs but once he is fully restored Al runs away and finds himself caught up with some Ishbalan refugees and Scar himself while they are hiding from a mercenary band seemingly hunting the Ishbalans for the military, the final confrontation with the group leads to an admission by Ed as to what he has been keeping from his brother.
