Fullmetal Alchemist, ep. 43-51 (intial reaction)

GIANT SPOILERS

This is totally an initial reaction because I am really not coherent right now, largely because I spent the last episode sobbing. Oh, my boys. I was so scared something like this would happen, but at least they're still there and still looking for each other.

*sobs*

Is the movie worth watching?

But oh, my god.

The plot of the movie sounds like--and basically is--total crack. However, they did manage to make it work/make sense in context a lot better than I would have thought possible under the circumstances. Of course, as somebody else already said, I was expecting it to be a visually appealing but incoherent disaster, so I may be unduly biased in its favor out of sheer relief. I actually wrote a review/article about "FMA: Conqueror of Shambala" and its (very) limited theatrical release in the October issue of the comics and pop culture fanzine *Sequential Tart*. The url is http://www.sequentialtart.com/article.php?id=285, but serious spoilers for the movie start in about the ninth or tenth paragraph, so you might want to wait until after you've seen "Conqueror of Shambala" to read it.

Hee! Maybe I'll just pretend it's very high-end AU fic or something. Also, I'm getting used to anime movies after the series that make absolutely no sense.

Thanks for the link!
