Munich, Germany, 1923. Two years have passed since Edward Elric was dragged from his own world to ours, leaving behind his country, his friends and his younger brother, Alphonse. Stripped of his alchemical powers, he has been all this time researching rocketry together with Alphonse Heiderich, a young man who resembles his own brother, hoping to one day find a way back home. His efforts so far had proven fruitless, but after lending a hand to a troubled gipsy girl, Edward is thrown in a series of events that can wreak havoc in both worlds. Meanwhile, at his own world, Alphonse Elric ventures deeper into the mysteries of alchemy in search for a way to reunite with his older brother. (Manga Home Entertainment)

The original Alchemist deserved a magnificent ending, and the creators preferred to come straight to the film. The film, atypical, occasionally seemingly mismatched to the series, but dignifiedly drawing the curtain over the entire adventure of the Elric brothers and their friends. Our reality as an alternative to the known world functions perfectly and favored, even if already dead characters can be seen in an unexpected light and characteristically transformed environment. While we don't get the ultimate closure that couldn't be reasonably continued (some of us waited for that until the last episode of "true adaptation" FMA: Brotherhood), the feeling that something great is leaving at its peak still didn't leave me throughout the entire runtime. Goodbye (for now).
