I've watched the series and played the games, but this movie was almost made to perfection in regards to Fullmetal Alchemist. To embrace realistic history and expand in another direction is extremely clever. Truly a story of respect for family and devotion to civil duty. Every character was spot on with no lack of intensity. Even with the addition of new characters and more common elements I thought it was a brilliant move to take equivalent exchange to a whole different level. If I wore a hat I would take it off to the writers, animators, and director(s). I'll do my best to finish "Brotherhood" as soon as I can. Well done sirs.
