Preliminary Spoiler

Preliminary (1/4 eps)

When I decided to watch this OVA I really wasn't expecting anything special. I decided to watch this just because I had nothing else to do on my Monday afternoon. Thank God I had nothing to do because this OVA was very much worth the 17 minutes I spended on it.

The story of the "Blind Alchemist" picks up with Ed and All deciding to go to an alchemist who is believed to have been able to do a transmutation of some sort. This story doesn't seem too exiting and maybe a couple people can make out the ending because of the "Blind Alchemist" part ...

Fullmetal Alchemist is a mega success, specially the Brotherhood anime. Proof of that is the fact that it's ranked number 2 in this page, since who knows how many months. And, as with any successful product, OVA, specials and movies are created. Unfortunately, in most cases, these products tend to be mediocre at best, therefore, prudent consumers often face these creations with skepticism, or directly not expecting much. So, i watched Brotherhood's special with the intention of having fun, but not expecting anything great or mind blowing. I mean, four fifteen minutes long self conclusive episodes? What could you get ...

This is a review of all 4 OVAS of FMA: Brotherhood

1. The Blind Alchemist (Score: 9 out of 10)

The Blind Alchemist is about Ed and Al hearing a rumor that a state alchemist named Judas successfully made a human transmutation to save her daughter from dying and what they see is rather disturbing. The Blind Alchemist showcases more on the consequences of human transmutation and how can affect on people's lives. It's been done in other FMA episodes, but this OVA is still emotionally heartbreaking and a nice start to the OVA Collection.

2. Simple People (Score: 8 out of 10)

This OVA is about Winry who ...

Four espisodes are four different stories, that the reason why it is tought to rate all of them by one mark. The second story was quite boring to me, so was the third. However 1st and, especcialy, fouth were kind of a masterpiece. After watching all of them I was so confused that I was unable to give it any rate.
The specials are great mean to meet our favurite characters one more time, also to learn new things about their history. Few scences where already shown in the core series, for me it is an advantage, as it allows to place a situation in ...

I cant lie when i say that these are very good.

I liked each of the 4 episodes, i think they are good enough to be on the actual show, however it may have been seen as filler so i dont really know what to make of it.

I really liked the 3rd one, where we get a little more background on Izumi's character. How she trained and how she met her husband.
Beautifully done.

I also liked the twist on the first episode, you really feel bad for the alchemist and the parents.

The second episode is cute because i like everything that happens in the house and ...

Wow this was better than I expected I thought it was going to be some ok side stories for the main series but I was so wrong.

Even though this was a side story I saw no drop in animation or sound value unlike alot of other movies and ovas for certain anime series. All the episodes were amazing each of them had some sort of theme and meaning to it which I liked. I got to know some more about certain charactesr such as Mustang and Curtis.

Overall very enjoyable specials that certainly added some toppings to the cake. It's definitely a recommended watch once you ...

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood started airing in April 2009. During its sixty-four-episode run, a special episode is released every four months. These episodes are adaptations of bonus chapters from the manga. Studio Bones didn't adapt every single bonus chapter. They only picked four of them. It should be noted that the praises and criticisms I gave in my review of the main storyline do apply to these special episodes. There is really no need for me to repeat them here. It would be best to save these episodes after finishing the main storyline. However, if you want to be fancy, you can watch the main story ...

Preliminary (3/4 eps)

The ovas had only 12/14 minutes (except the last one), and in my opinion, that went down very well! But although they were short, they were great. Except for the Winry episode, which was quite simple, but the part where Riza says, "The reasons are quite simple because the world is simple, just shoot the trigger that the person dies," referring to the Ishval war, managed to save the episode.

The blind man who claimed to have managed a human transmutation is also worth seeing, it is a separate story that further explores the universe of Fullmetal.

And who was never curious to see Izumi training in ...
