Fullmetal Alchemist – Random Curiosity

Fullmetal Alchemist: Milos no Seinaru Hoshi – Movie Trailer

By Divine March 28, 2011

[flv:Fullmetal_Alchemist_Milos_no_Seinaru_Hoshi_PV.mp4 550 310]

The official site for the Fullmetal Alchemist movie, subtitled "The Sacred Star of Milos", recently added a minute long trailer. The movie is intended to tie-in with Brotherhood (i.e. the manga's story) but as a side story before the actual conclusion. It's directed by Murata Kazuya (assistant director of CODE GEASS) and the script is by Shinpo Yuuichi (author of the novel Whiteout). L'arc~en~Ciel is performing the theme song, whereas BONES is back for the animation production and seems to going with a very subtle change in style.

* Warning: The official site is Flash-heavy and spasm-inducing with its loading pages.

... More after the break, including details on the story.

"The Horizon of a Journey"

I admittedly read the remaining portions of the final chapter of the manga after watching episode 63 last week, so I wasn't in for too many surprises in this epilogue episode. Unfortunately, they didn't add anything new -- such as Ed and Al's reaction to Hohenheim's passing which I would've liked to see -- but the rest of it played out really nicely.

"The Other Side of The Gate"

With the fight against Father looking like it was pretty much settled last time, I wasn't expecting Greed to get pulled back into the fray for his philosopher's stone. More so than that, Greed tricking Ling into giving up on the fruitless struggle so that he can play hero was something I really didn't foresee.

"The Violent Counterattack"

It was no holds barred with everyone unleashing everything they had to whittle away Father's remaining souls and make him reach the breaking point, but they had to first survive a huge blast that took out a huge chunk of Central headquarters.

"The One Who Devours God"

With the recent confirmation that the series will be 64 episodes (not 63), the pacing was so quick here that it left me wondering what we're still in store for.

"Heaven's Eye, Earth's Gate"

As amazingly epic as this was with Father activating the Amestris-wide transmutation circle during the solar eclipse, the episode title of all things took away from the surprise of it all.

"Lost Light"

Well that's news to me. I didn't know you can force someone to perform alchemy against their will and let them suffer the consequences of doing so. Just when I thought things were looking up with the arrival of May, Darius, Jerso, and Zampano, both Wrath and Pride show up to spoil the parade.

"Human Sacrifices"

As if Fu's valiant sacrifice last time wasn't enough to give me goosebumps, the story drops two more bombs on me this episode.

"Eternal Departure"

Wow, what an action-packed episode. While Greed and Fu went toe-to-toe with Wrath to dire results, we also had Ed and the others underground fighting off all the King Bradley rejects before a huge transmutation circle was activated on Central.

"The Return of the Fhrer"

So with last episode's preview spoiling all the fun of Greed's grand entrance and the homunculus versus homunculus battle, it was nice to see them make up for that with another one.
