Stephen and Mallory finish off the original series of Fullmetal Alchemist (FMA) with a review of FMA the Movie: Conqueror of Shamballa (2005).

They liked the movie overall. They especially enjoyed seeing how the characters from the anime series were doing in the movie.

That being said, the plot of the movie was kinda weird. For instance, there were Nazis involved (which is actually kinda cool).

[Click here to show/hide spoilers] In terms of pacing, they found it awkward that it takes a while for the antagonist to be revealed, and then she gets defeated very quickly after that.

They also thought the ending was unsatisfactory concerning Ed's relationship with Winry, because Ed and Al leave Winry behind when they leave Earth (or wherever).

All in all, they really enjoyed watching FMA, even though it's not their favorite anime series. Now that FMA is done, they are eager to watch something else, before they jump into watching FMA Brotherhood.
