Product Description

Innocence and flesh were sacrificed when two young brothers ignored the laws of Alchemy in an attempt to resurrect their mother. The horrors they recklessly unleashed that night marked the beginning of a journey that leads from darkness to light and back.

In an era of war and corruption, State Alchemist Edward Elric and his brother Alphonse desperately search for the Philosopher’s Stone. The legendary artifact is their last hope to restore what was lost – or it could be their undoing. The grisly truths found in the quest for the relic will test their souls in ways unimaginable. Murder stalks the brothers from the shadows and false prophets conspire to steal their faith. Morality is assaulted by military atrocities and scientific abominations. Amid the ashes of their childhood, Edward and Alphonse will discover the power to create is but a breath away from the power to destroy. The bond of brotherhood will be their greatest weapon in the fight for their lives.

Love this collection but it does have issues.

Love this collection but it does have issues.
Overall if you love the show this is still a great purchase you can watch the episode individually or in marathon mode the only thing about marathon mode is it cut the episode off a few seconds early or certain scenes early to avoid either the intro or the credit scenes, it doesn't bug me it just throws me off every now and then cause I remember those scenes and it's not there. I've noticed some lines changed or some scenes seem to skip like a second or two ahead I don't remember the show enough to remember if that's how the show went or if it's a manufacturing error. Other than those little things I've noticed it plays great and I'm enjoying rewatching these episodes I still recommend it.

I watched this when it first came to the U.S. when I was 9 or 10 and fell in love with the show. This collection has all 52 episodes and lots of extras. The story is easyish to follow and the homunculi are better then Brotherhood. In this series the brothers somewhat succeed in their goal but fell short and the main villan finished it to a point. I highly recommend this for lovers of the full metal manga and those who enjoyed brotherhood

5.0 out of 5 stars A True Gem For All Anime Fans; Newcomers and the like!
Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2015

This is not a review based on the legendary hit anime television show Full Metal Alchemist but rather a review based on the actual product itself.

Episodes 1-51; 6 discs; official Funimation release; high definition

If you've ever purchased a DVD or Blu-ray before, you'll be happy to know that this product is no different.
The case is a hard sturdy material yet removing the DVD's from the cases may be a problem as you have to press down firmly on the middle 'button' with your thumb and use your remaining fingers to carefully lift the DVD from the insert. That can be a problem with many DVD's however, it is also a good thing as you can rest assured that the disc will not become dislodged within the case due to the sturdy holding.

The artwork presented on the cover (as you see from the picture) is nostalgic for all Full Metal Alchemist fans. You will find the two main characters presented on the covers (slipcover/case). It is highly detailed and on the back of the case are the general descriptions and blurbs of the television show including the special features and what else you can come to expect from the DVD's themselves.

The DVD's have artwork of their own which are symbolic of the show: (a red) Alchemy transmutation circle.

When you insert the DVD/Blu-ray into your compatible player whether it's a Playstation or XBOX console, PC, etc., you will be confronted with various anime trailers before getting to home menu. On the menu, you will have a static screen with familiar music as the background (original song from FMA original soundtrack). You will be able to choose between subtitles, Japanese/English voice audio and a textless opening among other things. There's isn't much that 'stand out' about this product but whether you're new to the series or a longtime fan, I'd recommend adding this to your collection (with such a reasonable price)! While this is the series that diverged from the path the manga was headed, I do recommend checking out the second of this series: Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood which follows the manga plot intently.

5.0 out of 5 stars $60 for this is such a bargain, and easily disproves "Equivalent Exchange"

This is so much more than just a show. That first episode watched, all those years ago, the countless hours spent in front of the tv... this is no mere instance of squandered youth and wasted time, this show was and is a catalyst for change in my life.

I watched the show alongside my brother, and we could relate well to the Elrics. My brother, both older and smaller than I, had a quick temper, much like Ed, whereas I more easily identified Al. We both were young in our teenage years, emerging from a childhood where we too had lost a parent. We were no strangers to difficult times, no paucity of adversity in our lives, and Ed and Al helped us to feel less alone in our struggles. Much in the same way they studied their alchemy, we were inspired to pursue the sciences. Ed and Al taught us not just to be better brothers to one another, but to be better people in general. This show is chock full of good messages and good philosophy. It molded me as a youth, it shaped my understanding of consequence, and helped me come to terms with some of life's hard truths. It sounds silly, to be so affected by a television show, but I would say it's similar to the feeling you get when a certain song moves your soul, and I would challenge anyone who says there is nothing to be learned here.

This show exemplifies the finest of storytelling. I feel sorry for those that would, so to speak, judge this book by its cover. This is not simply some cartoon for children, this show is a life lesson, and it can change you for the better if you let it. I am glad for the opportunity to buy a remastered copy. It will make a good gift to my brother. Hopefully someday his kids and my kids will be able to enjoy this show on the same level as we did.

1.0 out of 5 stars Regular BluRay Copy is defective?
Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2024

The first disc wouldn't play any of the episodes. The second disc would only play on my computer and only in marathon mode...which wouldn't be a big deal except you can't get to any of the videos when using a regular BluRay DVD player, so you need to watch them on a computer. I didn't look at the remain discs but I expect it would be very similar.
Overall, wouldn't recommend even for an avid fan of FMA original 2003 series using the BluRay version sold. The more expensive versions might be good but I won't bet on that either.

This Blu-ray set is definitely a bootleg however, it’s great quality and I’ve had zero issues with it so far. It’s become incredibly difficult to come across 2003 Fullmetal Alchemist online, so I don’t mind having the bootleg version at all considering it’s such great quality. I guess my only complain would be that the case did crack and started chipping as soon as I opened it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Legendary Anime Finally Gets A Box Set It Deserves.
Reviewed in Canada on March 5, 2016
Verified Purchase
Fullmetal Alchemist (2003), still holds up today as one of the best anime series ever made. This Collectors Edition not only does the show justice, but it is arguably one of the best blu-ray releases ever made by Funimation. Everything inside the box is of outstandingly high quality as one would expect for the high price. The art book is beautiful, large and was enjoyable to read and the art cards were a nice addition but what stood out the most was all the little details put into the entire set. Without spoiling the excitement of opening the box for the first time, all I can say is you can truly tell that the box set was created by people who are passionate about the series. For fans, this is the only must have collectors edition for the entire Fullmetal Alchemist series.

Final Comments: For those debating the price while it may seem like a lot to spend for a show, per episode, it is cheaper than most $60 limited edition boxsets on the market (at the time of this review). If you collect anime and are a fan of this show, you will not regret this purchase.

以下について、簡単にレビューします。

　* このセットの内容
　* 北米版の制約について
　* 日本のコンテンツ事業者の不公正な価格政策について

[このセットの内容]

[北米版の制約について]

この blu-ray は、いわゆる「国コードロック」や「強制字幕」の制限がかかっており、注意が必要です。

具体的には、以下の制約があります。

* 国コード: 日本 の場合:
　　「英語音声、第二字幕」の再生のみ可能。
　　セットアップメニューが表示されず、音声・字幕の変更はできません。

* 国コード: 米国 の場合:
　　「英語音声、第二字幕」か「日本語音声、英語字幕」のみ選択できます。
　　セットアップメニューは表示されますが、音声・字幕の個別変更はできません。

日本の標準的なＢＤレコーダーなどでは、「英語音声、第二字幕」のみの再生になります。
PS3 や、PC の PowerDVD などでは、「日本語音声、英語字幕」も再生できます。

日本人の標準的再生環境である「日本語音声、字幕なし」で楽しむには、
　　Macgo Windows Blu-ray Player
のような、ディスクのメニュー制約に反応しない再生ソフトが必要です。

　
[日本のコンテンツ事業者の不公正な価格政策について]

日本のコンテンツを日本語でみる「国内向け」商品が、どうして、より「手間がかかっている」英語音声や英語字幕を追加した本商品にくらべて、何倍も高いのか、私はまったく理解できません。
米国は、GNP も高く、コンテンツの価格補助が必要とは思いません。

また、強制的に字幕を表示するなど「視聴者の意思にかかわらず映像を汚すことを強制」する行為は、いわば収録作品への冒涜で、購入者の「ありのままの画面を見たい」という当然の期待を踏みにじる行為であり、コンテンツ流通事業者としての裁量を逸脱していると、私は考えます。

このような差別的な政策は、著しく不公正で透明性に欠けたビジネス慣習です。

「日本の消費者が静かなこと」をよいことに、不公正な価格政策で日本の消費者に、国際基準からかけ離れた高価格商品を押し付けるのは、速やかにやめてもらいたいです。
