I’m going to have to diverge my opinion from the consensus here. However, I still recommend in watching the movie, because like I said earlier, Fullmetal Alchemist: The Movie – Conqueror of Shamballa will provide closure for the series. Moreover, Al and Winry, two of my favorite characters, didn’t get enough screen time, so that disappointed me a bit.
#Conqueror of shamballa full movie subbed series
Alchemy was so important in the series that it made the plot, but that wasn’t the case for the movie.
It’s not because of the plot per se, but I was disappointed that there was less talk of alchemy in the movie. L’Arc~en~ciel also sang the opening and ending themes of the movie, and just like the series, they also came up with catchy tracks for this one too.Īs much as I liked the movie, I have to say that I like the series more. The music in the series was more striking and memorable compared to the music of the movie. Michiru Oshima, who worked on the music of the series has returned to compose music for the movie as well, but I have to say I like the music of the series better. I especially like how the colors in Earth have a slightly weathered look, while the colors in Amestris are bright and vibrant. The character design became sleeker, the backgrounds are more detailed and attractive, and the color coordination is better than in the series. All the characters still have their respective voice actors from the series, but there are also new additions to the cast such as a gypsy girl named Noa (Miyu Sawai), who I don’t really like because she whines too much, and a new villain, Dietlinde Eckhart (Kazuko Kato).Įven the visuals of the movie were new and improved. I don’t want to spoil anything, but here’s a hint – dead characters are even brought to life in the movie, however they have different personalities. Ed and Al certainly have matured (and they look cool!), and the same goes for minor characters such as Winry and Roy Mustang. I guess to keep things fresh and exciting, the characters were given new looks to go with new storylines. It’s definitely a wonderful storyline that will give viewers the conclusion they’re looking for. In the movie, Earth and Resembool are treated as parallel to each other, and you see how they interact with each other while in the process, the two brothers try to reunite themselves. In Germany in the year 1923, and Al stuck in Amestris, specifically in Resembool. If that’s the case, then you were also probably shocked that the series ended with the two brothers separated, Ed on Earth, specifically If you watched the series and followed it religiously like I did, you probably also marveled at how close Ed and Al are that they are willing to risk their lives for each other.
In my opinion, it is impossible to get some real closure from watching the series alone. Want a real conclusion to the events that happened in Fullmetal Alchemist? Then you should watch Fullmetal Alchemist: The Movie – Conqueror of Shamballa. 5 WORDS OR LESS REVIEW: Must watch after the series
