Two brothers trapped in different worlds struggle to unlock the secrets that will bring them back together in this feature-length entry into the Full Metal Alchemist saga. The year is 1923, and the burgeoning Nazi party is slowly gaining a foothold in German politics. It's been two long years since Edward Elric's bold sacrifice found him thrust into the unfamiliar Earth realm, and as he continues to research rocketry in Munich alongside fellow researcher Alphons Heiderich -- a scientist who strangely resembles Ed's long-lost brother Al -- the slow progress leaves the discouraged Ed wondering if he'll ever see his brother again. But you never know what the future holds, and when Ed saves a psychic Gypsy girl, he quickly finds himself immersed in a plot by the mysterious Thule Society and the rising Nazi Party that threatens to thrust both Earth and his home planet into a horrible war. Little does Ed know that back on his home planet, his brother Al has been conducting a series of experiments in alchemy and mastering incredible powers in hopes of locating his desperate sibling. Though the combined forces of alchemy and science may indeed yield enough power to bring the brothers back together, the chaos that could follow threatens to cause more bloodshed than either Ed or Al ever imagined. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    Incredible! Where most Anime Movies done from a series feels like just a long episode, this is a complete story all it's own. It takes place a couple years from where the series ended. A point of trivia: (outside of the story line), was Fuhrer Bradley's version in our world. He was introduced as Fritz Lang; in real life he was a silent film maker from Germany. Fritz Lang is famous from his film "Metropolis", made in 1927 (also a must see). If you liked the Fullmetal series, then you'll love "The Conqueror of Shamballa"

    I bought this one as soon as the series ended on Tv and was not expecting anything but another filler movie like most of the other Anime series have, but this one was a winner from the begging. Now most people have only seen the show in english and although the Voice actors have done the show justice, the Movie is in subtitles and will still grab you from the minute you put it in, This story picks up just after the TV series ends and if you love the show then I suggest you wait until you have seen the finale or you will have many things spoiled for you. But if you HAVE seen them all and you want more this Movie delivers! I am a spoiled anime nut who has seen them all and this was such a plesant suprise! This one ranks up there with any of the classic Anime out there. Enjoy!

    Let me just start by saying that I'm not too big on anime, and I haven't seen but just a few random episodes of the actual series. I didn't realize this movie took place after where the series left off, so I'm sure I'd have enjoyed it a little more and not felt completely lost in some parts if I'd waited till I'd seen the series. I did know that the two kids lost their mother and how they became the way they are, but that's it. Any way, this was a great movie. Lots of great action sequences, visually stunning and a great story. I've queued the entire series up, so maybe I'll come back and re-watch this movie once I'm done with the series. Great stuff!
