Fullmetal Alchemist, Volume 13: Brotherhood (Episodes 49-51)

When I was 18 I lost my grandfather, whom raised me as his own son, and was a bit of a lost soul for the year that followed. However I also began to watch FMA at the recommendation of a friend, and am glad that I did. The story of the two brothers on a journey to rebuild their lives, and the struggle they went through, hit home at just the right time. This show inspired me to stand up, and fight, for my life to be successful. It helped remind me of the lesson my grandfather had taught me. Lessons about what it means to be a man, to work hard, and to fight for what you believe in while respecting the beliefs of others. Most importantly it reminded me of how my grandfather showed me in all that he did that the most important thing in life is to start each day with the goal (and accomplishing this goal) of being better than the man you were the day before.When I finished this series I wanted to own the whole original set, and someday share it with my children. At the time I was a college student, living abroad while supporting myself, and had very little pocket money. After living expenses, and tuition, the money I earned from working odd jobs averaged to less than $20 a week.You can imagine, over the years as I pieced this collection together, how elated I was when I finally saw this for sale on Amazon. It helped me close an important chapter in my life, while ensuring I could share a beautiful memory with my children in the future.

*Yes* you will read this same review on each of the DVDs for this series. I do not own them all as of yet, but have seen the series in it's entirety.I am absolutely impressed with this show. The first time I watched any of it, I was not the least bit interested. I'm a definate anime fan, however, I'm very select about what I choose to watch (no sailor moon, or pokemon for myself thanks!). My original take on this show was that it was over-hyped and childish. At the time I was involved in another set of shows and was content, but when I finished those shows this series was rerunning from the beginning on cartoon network's adult swim, so, with nothing else to watch I thought I would give it another chance.This time I fell in love with it, it has become one of my favorite anime's to date! The story is very indepth, and detailed. There isn't near as much "fan-service" as in other shows which can take away from the show itself, and it has relevant undertones.I am a fan of shows like Cowboy Bebop, Trinity Blood, Trigun, Big O, FLCL (Fooly Cooly), Samuria Champloo, and such. If you share similar interests, then you may very well enjoy this show!

FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST! It's such a great anime. ANY anime fan NEEDS to add Fullmetal Alchemist to their collection.My review on Fullmetal Alchemist volume 13 Brotherhood: It didn't even take me a year to get this DVD and finish up my Fullmetal Alchemist collection. This anime is very addictive. And once you get down to Volume 13, it'll have you almost falling out of your seat! Everytime I watch this DVD I end up crying. HECK! In almost any Fullmetal Alchemist DVD I cry. But these epsiodes are chalk full of heartbreak. I think this anime ended well. And this DVD deffinitly deserves 5 stars. It deserves it all the way.

IMO one of the greatest animes of all time has ended. True after the TV series ends you have an awesome movie to watch. (And I do love the movie.) But the story of FMA is just like nothing else I have ever watch or will watch. The animation was always breathtaking the voice talent was the best out there. (The best english dub I have ever heard). And the story just never let me down. IMO the story just got better! So as a fan of the show thanks this forever will be my favorite!

Fullmetal Alchemist is great. I get insulted when I hear people haven't heard it because it's a shame to miss it. This was in great condition and I am very glad to have finished my collection.

ok so this is the last disk in the series, but get the movie Conquor of Shamballa and it ties everything in. in this disk, well, the episodes do put a few things to rest but... not everything comes to a satisfactory conclusion... but it's still excellent!!!

This my show and it came in the mail quick

Immaculate condition, fast shipping and low price. All the best qualities for the expenditure of hard-earned money. Keep up the good work and the prices low. Thanx!
