Amazon.com: As Fullmetal Alchemist builds to its climax, director Seiji Mizushima and screenwriter Shou Aikawa ratchet up the emotional intensity. Ed and Al learn two terrible lessons. The first is that any deed, however well-intended, can have dire consequences--including Ed's efforts to free the people of Liore from a false prophet in the first episodes of the series. The second lesson reinforces the truth of the cliché "Be careful what you wish for, because you may get it." Using the arcane knowledge of the Ishbalans and the lives of hundreds soldiers, Scar succeeds in creating a Philosopher's Stone--in a most unlikely place. But the Elric Brothers have no time to explore the magical Stone's vast powers: The Homunculi and the Military are circling them like vultures. Complicating matters further is the reappearance of the Hohenheim, the long-lost father of Edward and Alphonse. Hardcore otaku will notice manga artist Hiromu Arakawa's cow self-caricature amid the stars floating around a dazed Winrey. (Rated TV PG: violence, grotesque imagery, tobacco use) --Charles Solomon
Full Metal Revelation. This whole series has been great, but this disc has a lot of moments where you see the whole action and reaction sequence. I like the whole death of Scar sequence and the leader of the movement in Lior. Great twists. This whole series has a way of misleading you into thinking it's just a silly kids show till you realize just how harsh it is. I love it.
FMA Vol. 11- Becoming the Stone In Becoming the Stone, several of the characters are forced to take stock of themselves and answer for their past actions. Hohenheim of Light (the Elric Bros. father) makes a long awaited appearance and brings more mysteries with him. For Roy Mustang fans, I think he has some of his best moments in this volume. Truthfully, I've enjoyed all the episodes in this series, and vol. 11 continues to be great.
Awsome! Even that I am not a core fan of anime, I could appreciate the beauty and history of this series. The end is coming near, don't miss this 4 chapters!
SCAR MAKES PHILOSOPHER'S STONE The military has completely surrounded the bombed out city of Liore as Lt. Col. Archer plans to eliminate anyone still left alive inside it. That's exactly what Scar wants him to do. Bring in all his troops to where he can activate the transmutation circle that he has constructed amidst the city itself! As Ed tries to evacuate the residents before the carnage begins, Al and Scar face off against Kimbley, the murderous bomb-freak alchemist who has been indiscriminately killing anyone he comes across. The Homunculi are present too, and seem conflicted as they see their dream of having someone create a Philsopher's Stone come to fruition. Ed has his own fight too, as he battles against the Homunculus that bears the shape of his mother!
As this show winds down it is really getting awesome and compelling and equals some of the best anime I have ever seen. All of the characters in the series seem to be carrying their own pain and ghosts, whether it's Ed and Al's lost limbs and their dead mother, or Winry's knowledge of who killed her parents, or Mustang's guilt about those killings. Every character is striving to free themselves from whatever emotional baggage they're carrying. Unfortunately, in the world of Alchemist, just the like real world, you can't solve every problem. But you can try your best to redeem yourself for past wrongs and sins by changing how you act in the present to make your future different. Another thing that's cool about this show is that the characters are so great that when you get to points where it builds up to a confrontation, whether physical or emotional, it gets you excited. For example, you know Mustang is someday going to have fight the Homunculi, and you just can't wait to see how he fares. Awesome show.
I would highly recommend reading the manga of Fullmetal Alchemist which is currently on Volume 9 which contain the original stories by the true creator and features wildly different storylines, which are in most cases superior to, more complex, and deeper than the anime.
Take it from a true Fullmetal Fan...(NO SPOILERS) ...that this is one of, if not the, best volume yet. Take it from me; I've seen the entire series (and will see the movie when I buy it on DVD September 12) that if there were ever any volumes in the FMA series that are must-haves, it would be Volumes 11 - 13.
If you think that, "Oh, you're just a child. This is probably a little cartoon for kids..." YOU ARE WRONG. I am barely allowed to watch this show even though it is my favorite at the time. The rating for all of these episodes is TV-14 and should not be watched by the faint of heart. I would say that from the last episode in Volume 10 - the LAST EPISODE (Volume thirteen, third episode) it is rated for blood, violence, language, use of alchohol and tobacco, and maybe even suggestive themes.
I don't say that it's not only a kid show just because it has all of that stuff in it, I'm saying that because my PARENTS even like this show. In fact, my dad is anxiously waiting for the movie to come out! (see what I'm saying?) This show is for everyone who can stand watching it, or if they can but they're even allowed to...
