(More customer reviews)Volume 2 of Fullmetal Alchemist takes us back in time to the beginnings of Ed and Alphonse's quest to become State Alchemists. First, they must board a train to meet Roy Mustang, their sponsor for the state test, only to find that terrorists have seized it! If they can live through that, there's an even harder task before them. They must pass the Alchemy Exam to even enter the program and find a way to restore their bodies back to normal. Mustang rooms them with a brillant if somewhat strange alchemist named Shou Tucker, who rumor tells was able to create a talking chimera. He also has a young daughter named Nina. While all this is going on, a serial killer is stalking the streets, killing innocent women at his leisure. His next victim might be someone Ed and Al know!
Volume 2 had moments of darkness and light. Its humor and playfulness, especially with the interaction between Ed, Al, and Nina was very wistful. But there is a tragedy beneath it all, and when you inject terrorists and serial killers into the mix, it's hard to keep a light mood. But that's what life is like. This show is brillant and always keeps a balance of its different facets. Really unique. The animation is first-rate. But the extras are second-rate as usual. Japanese commercials, art galleries, character profiles and openings/closings.

He is a refugee, a loner from a land scarred with the wounds of war, tortured by memories of a happier time. His body is riddled with tattoos of alchemist symbols that allow him to use the ancient art for his murderous purpose. Includes four exciting episodes.
