Review:

There's really no doubting that the original Fullmetal Alchemist series was certainly 1 of the most popular titles in recent years. Despite having a release spanning 13 volumes and a moving-picture show—both of which have seen a re-release in recent times— many fans knew that there was nevertheless a number of animated shorts that were still to be seen in the western world. Those fans can rest easy now though every bit this Premium Drove DVD finally brings together all the missing brusk films onto a unmarried standalone disc.

The collection kicks off with the Interactive Experience, a compilation of clips that were used during a Fullmetal Alchemist allure at Universal Studios in Nippon. For those who haven't had the pleasure (or displeasure) of being to one of these interactive attractions before, the videos are basically brusk clips that are played at different segments of the allure as groups are ushered through differently themed rooms. Although the clips are a bit of fun, the unfortunate truth is that much of the 'experience' is lost without the themed rooms they were intended to be seen in, and as such volition probable be viewed one time and and then presently forgotten about.

The Brusk Collection starts off with the aptly named Live Activeness Featurette. Seemingly fabricated to be somewhat of a joke past the production staff, this curt has united states of america following a still adapt-of-armoured and rather life sized Alphonse on a quest to detect the location of his missing brother. Appearing at numerous places in Tokyo, Alphonse eventually winds up at the Bones offices where a minor gag plays out before the short comes to an abrupt end. Other than a possible chuckle, it's a very forgettable feature.

The Chibi Wrap Party thankfully fares a scrap better. As the title states, the whole cast is given a chibi-like makeover as this rather humourous brusque sees united states of america at the "Wrap Party" supposedly held for the completion of the movie. With both friends and foes sharing drinks and ane liners, it isn't long before things go a niggling out of hand. Good for quite a few jokes, it's certainly i of the amend shorts in the collection.

Rounding out the principal feature is the short entitled Kids. Featuring three children—who coincidentally resemble Al, Ed and Winry—this brusque has u.s.a. following them around a suburban Japanese town every bit they try to find the residence of their swell peachy gramps. With a well laid out story and a surprisingly fitting conclusion that notions an ending later the flick, this short is definitely a must lookout man for fans.

In a rather interesting move, Funimation has gone to the effort of reuniting the former cast for the dub of this release. Although most of the cast manages to sound like enough, information technology is an unfortunate occurrence that during the long break, Aaron Dismuke who voices Alphonse has gone through puberty and at present only can't muster the same voice anymore. Having being fabricated roughly during the production of the series, the Japanese dub expectantly is very much to the quality of the original series. The subtitle work is also passable, with only a pocket-sized number off errors making their way into obvious view.

The extras included are unfortunately rather shallow. Included is a clean closing of the ending video from the Brusk Collection, and a handful of Madman Trailers. Considering the content, this release certainly could accept benefited from something more than substantial in the extras department.

I'thou not going to lie, this disc is short. With a run-fourth dimension of only 30 minutes, you lot'll barely have the chance to relax before its all over. The films do non hold up by themselves well, feeling like they should accept been extras on the film DVD rather than combined as they have been. Even with the lower than normal price tag and a few good shorts, it's all the same hard to recommend this to anyone but the most dedicated of fans.
