Review of Fullmetal Alchemist: The Sacred Star of Milos (2011) by Derick K — 12 Jul 2012

Out of all the popular anime franchises FMA is one of my favorites and when I heard that the sacred star of milos was going to be in theaters I was excited and wanted to go see it but I waited too long and missed it. So I ended up watching it on dvd instead and I loved it despite the the fact that it wasnt canon to the brotherhood series and was more like an extended episode in the same vein as cowboy bebop the movie but I still enjoyed it mostly because it was longer, had time to develop its characters and had an interesting story that had the same themes as the series did. As for animation and voice acting, the animation was good but it looked completely different from the tv show and not in a better way but sometimes odd or maybe thats just me. Voice acting from the English version was great as always with most of the voice actors from the tv show reprising their roles along with new characters and new voice actors who do a good job.

While this was a good movie it did have some flaws continuity wise between the movie and the series but you would have to be a hardcore fan of FMA to point them out. So suspend your disbelief if you are a fan and enjoy the show.

4 out of 5 stars.
