It is only half of a story that we already have, a lot better done, as anime and manga. Bottom line: even if you want to watch it, there is no need to do so until the second part pops up. Instead, they suffered brutal personal loss: Alphonse's body. Ignoring the alchemical principle banning human transmutation, the boys attempted to bring their recently deceased mother back to life. And when you are properly confused, the film ends with "To be continued". Fullmetal Alchemist anime hybrid We learn in FMA that the Fuhrers Secretary is not human (and likely a Homunculus). After a horrific alchemy experiment goes wrong in the Elric household, brothers Edward and Alphonse are left in a catastrophic new reality. There is another Xingian girl who protects Scar, a master that tells Scar to let go, Envy and Gluttony, all the alchemists and their people, random people of the same race as Scar and so on. Envy's gender Envy is not specified, but it is presumed that he is a male since other characters generally refer to Envy as a he. The show also features an impressive soundtrack composed by Michiru Oshima, which adds to the overall atmosphere of the series. Edit Envy ( Enb) was the third Homunculus to appear in the Fullmetal Alchemist series. The animation style of Fullmetal Alchemist is distinct, featuring sharp character designs and fluid action sequences. There is Winry, which is somehow connected to both Ed and Scar. Megumi Toyoguchi voices Lust, one of the seven Homunculi created by Father. But there is also Lin, a prince from Xing - a fictional version of China, trying to capture homunculi. Some of the Fullmetal Alchemist characters from left to right and top to bottom: Lust, Edward, Alphonse, Armstrong, Scar, Winry, Mustang, Hawkeye, Gluttony, Izumi (with her husband Sig in the background), Wrath, Pinako and Den, Barry the Chopper and the Slicer Brothers, Envy, Havoc, and Hughes. In this film, Scar shows up trying to kill as many state alchemists as possible, due to their involvement in the genocidal war that destroyed his nation. I guess some people prefer to watch the live version or hate animation or both. Live action films, on the other hand, have to have actors who speak Japanese - good luck funding a tiny blonde person to play the main role, combine actors with CGI - good luck having enough money for special effects that are even on par with an anime can draw, and most of all, have to map the emotions in the drawing to real people - good luck with that! In other words this was a destined to be a failure, yet somehow money was found to make the film happen. The magic of manga is that you can show anything you want, your imagination being the only limit. However, having seen the anime and read the manga, I can't understand how they can make a movie that feels so lackluster and dead.
