Now, destinies are converging for those who remain to fight for the light of salvation. The hunt for the truth behind truths is growing more desperate, and ruined Ishbal waits at the end of a road choked with wreckage both human and soulless. Amid rumors of new war and resurrected horrors of the past, hidden masters rush their pawns down this path of betrayal and doubt. As these seekers of the Philosopher’s Stone grasp for answers, the most sacred tenet of Alchemy is questioned – The Law of Equivalent Exchange. But the harshest judgment is reserved for the belief on which the Elrics have built their lives – the faith in an unbreakable bond between brothers. Weary and broken, Edward and Alphonse must face the ultimate sacrifice. Will it be enough to make them whole?

The second half of the Fullmetal Alchemist anime seriesFeb 09, 2011
By Lesley Aeschliman
Fullmetal Alchemist The Complete Second Season is a four-disc set that contains episodes twenty-six through fifty-one of the series. The first disc contains seven episodes, the second disc contains six episodes, the third disc contains six episodes, and the fourth disc contains six episodes, a commentary on episode fifty-one, and the extras. On the discs, you can watch with either English or Japanese audio, and you can choose whether or not to have the English subtitles.
The first extra included on the fourth disc is a thirty-one minute documentary titled, "The Transmutation of a Phenomenon." This documentary includes interviews with some of the actors for the English dub, and they talk about various aspects of the series and their characters.
The next feature is labeled as "Square Enix Commercial." It runs for two minutes, and is an ad for the Fullmetal Alchemist 2: Curse of the Crimson Elixir videogame. The third special feature on the disc is the textless openings and closings. This feature includes two of the openings and two of the closings for the series. Unlike the first box set, you don't get the English subtitles on the openings and closings if you're watching with Japanese audio. The final extra are trailers for Project Blue Earth SOS, One Piece, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT, Glass Fleet, Ragnarok, Tsubasa, and Case Closed.
When this DVD set was put together, FUNimation included the booklets from the seven individual discs that were released that included these episodes. The first booklet starts with episode twenty-five, which was released on the first Fullmetal Alchemist box set. Outside of that, everything else lines up. Each booklet contains at least one write-up from someone involved with the series (the first six booklets contain a write-up from one of the Japanese voice actors, while the final booklet contains write-ups from two of the actors from the English dub who also directed the dubbing sessions). There is also character information and images, information from the series, artwork, and episode write-ups. The booklets are very well-done and contain a lot of information.
The quality of the series continues to be very high on this box set. That, along with the quality of the booklets, make this a release worth owning. If you're a fan of Fullmetal Alchemist who wants to own the whole series on DVD, then this box set should be part of your anime collection.
In order to write this review, I watched a copy of this DVD box set that was given to me as a gift by my husband.

The Second Half of a Brilliant StoryNov 16, 2009
By R. C. Bowman
"Fullmetal Alchemist" follows the adventures of two brothers, Edward and Alphonse Elric, in a parallel world called Amestris, which closely resembles our own. There is one fundamental difference: in Amestris, the science of alchemy has superceded all of our sciences in importance. It's obvious why: alchemy combines all of them. If you understand the composition of matter, you can almost instantly take something--lead, say, or dirt--and create gold or flowers out of it. Matter is matter; matter of any kind can become matter of anything. There is one rule to this science, however: the law of equivalent exchange. To gain, something of equal value must be lost. The one exception to this rule is life: there is no matter of any kind that can be traded for life.
After the sudden death of their mother, Edward and Alphonse ignore this crucial rule, and try to bring her back. The attempt ends in disaster: Alphonse loses his human body, and Edward is maimed. The creature they made is nothing like their mother: it is a monster.
In order to restore Al's body, Edward has no alternative but to find the Philosopher's Stone, the only object on earth that can skirt the rule of equivalent exchange. However, the military is the only organization with real information on the Stone. So, in order to obtains what he needs, Edward must join the military--losing most of his freedom in the process. It's equivalent exchange all over again.
In the second season, the consequences grow more dire, the storylines deeper, more emotional, more moving, and more tragic. Pursued by evil, inhuman creatures known as the Homunculi who are also after the Stone, Edward ends up separated from Alphonse, and the two brothers embark on individual, parallel courses in order to do what they must, courses that could end the life of one or both before their goal is reached--or before they ever see each other again.
"Fullmetal Alchemist" has a brilliant story populated with brilliant characters. Both the plot and the people are among the best I have ever encountered in a fictional work of any kind. I'm not even an anime fan; I stumbled on this because I thought the story sounded cool. It's beyond cool; I don't often use this word, but I will repeat: it is brilliant. I can't recommend it enough.

Full Metal Achmeist!Aug 22, 2010
By Svjetlana Tatic
"d(^_^)b"
When you think of Anime, most people will picture poor animation and terrible dubs.
Part two of the Full Metal Alchemist series is just as good as the first with some of the best dubs I've heard in a long, long time. The animation is good and the storyline is touching.
It is a continuation of a tragic storyline of lost innocence, the desire to set things right, and power among other things.
Another thing that needs to be said is that Full Metal Alchemist- this version at least does not follow the story in the manga. Although it does not follow the manga story arch it is able to stand alone, solidly I might add, and present to you the world and the characters in it. It makes you care for them- feel sad or angry or even astonished. You get a distinct feeling that despite the main characters and everyone else the storyline is bigger than them and for that reason, it wins. :)
I strongly recommend this product to any fan of FMA or even people who are interested in a good anime/show- it is well worth the money spent.

A Second Serving of FMA, with a little more than last timeJul 06, 2010
OK, so FullMetal Alchemist. Have you heard of it? Well apparently it's this worldwide anime phenomenon that every anime lover has to have in their collection. I guess now's your chance with these season sets that FUNimation released in early 2009. Let's get started.
Packaging - 4/5
The packaging is pretty typical on this box set. It has that "modern" DVD Set feel to it, since it's packed with 4 thin-pack DVD's. The artwork on these DVD's are very nice, and were re-used from the original FUNimation single DVD's. The artwork overlaps to the back of the DVD where the episode list for the particular disc can be read. The artwork on the cover does this as well, but stops at the spine. These DVD's are packed with 7 FUNimation Guidebooks that were also re-used from the original half-season box sets. These guidebooks are chocked full of FullMetal goodness whether it's the blurbs written by the Japanese cast and crew, or character artwork, I can see fan-girls squealing over these. Especially with one more than the other box set.
DVD Audio/Video Quality - 5/5
Since these sets were probably produced mid-2008 the video quality is very nice. It's very clear on my parents' HD TV, even though these discs aren't meant to be in HD. The quality doesn't seem remastered, but then again the series was only made in 2003. The audio for both dubs are very good and I can hear every word they say. The music is clearly there and I do love the score for this anime. Subtitles are also included.
Special Features - 5/5
Now, the other box set I reviewed also had special features, but it was average stuff like trailers, commentaries, textless openings/endings, etc. But this one has more. This time there is only one episode with commentary (Episode 51: Laws and Promises), which is okay, but they added a 30 min. documentary with the original voice actors talking about the show. There are still trailers included as well as a trailer for the second video game. Both box sets, overall have excellent special features that will satisfy an otaku's FMA needs.
Value - 5/5
With a little more than last time, this season set is definitely worth your money no matter how how much money you payed for it. I payed $50, which was a fair price for me. Overall pick this up wherever you can find it if your obsessed with FMA as I am!

The best anime I have ever seenApr 27, 2011
By V. Vergalito
"Capt. Duseldorf"
After reading the manga series of Fullmetal Alchemist, it was only natural to fall in love with the anime series as well. The Viridian Collection features all 51 episodes with cast commentaries, textless songs, and English as well as original Japanese dubs. On top of that there are music videos of the opening themes too. All these bonus all for under $25 is unbeatable.
Amazon did a great job sending this out the same day I ordered it and got it to be in two days. It was packaged perfectly and safe from damage and elements. Anyone who wants to own this amazing series cannot go wrong, it has the best story of love, hate, charisma, dedication, and perseverance.
