Fullmetal Alchemist manga:
The animation studio BONES adapted the manga into a 51-episode anime series, directed by Seiji Mizushima and co-produced by Bones, Mainichi Broadcasting System and Aniplex with character designs by Yoshiyuki Ito and scripts by Sho Aikawa, which ran on the Mainichi Broadcasting System, the TBS and Animax in Japan from October 4, 2003 to October 2, 2004. A one-hour OVA, Fullmetal Alchemist: Reflections, was released in 2005.[citation needed] Fullmetal Alchemist the Movie: Conqueror of Shamballa was made by the same studio, and theatrically released in Japan on July 23, 2005. The film serves as a sequel to the TV series. In March 2006 a DVD featuring 3 brand new OVAs as well as the \"State Alchemists vs the seven Homunculi\" feature that was previously shown only at Universal Studios Japan (in Tokyo) was released on DVD in Japan.[7]

As there was a limited amount of manga material available to adapt at the time of production, the storyline of the anime diverges from that of the manga around the middle of the series (around the end of book 6/start of book 7). The anime's later story and conclusion by BONES is different from the manga, which is still ongoing. This divergence in story from the manga source material, however, was planned from the beginning of production, and was not done \"just because\" the anime caught up with the manga source material.
the complete episode listing for all the animation produced for Fullmetal Alchemist (鋼の錬金術師, Hagane no Renkinjutsushi?) based on the manga authored by Hiromu Arakawa. The series consists of 51 episodes and one movie.
Fullmetal Alchemist was first aired on the Tokyo Broadcasting System (TBS) in Japan on October 4, 2003 with the episode \"To Challenge the Sun\", and concluded with \"Episode 51\" on October 2, 2004. The final episode was afterward titled \"Laws and Promises\" by the American distributor Funimation. Some fan groups also adopted the title \"Munich 1921\" for the final episode based on a caption that appears late in the episode.
A 105 minute movie titled Fullmetal Alchemist the Movie: Conqueror of Shamballa, which told a new story beyond the end of the anime, was released in Japan on July 23, 2005 and in the U.S. on September 12, 2006.
Due to the popularity of the series, the 26th Annual Animage Magazine Readers Poll recognized six of the first nine episodes as being among the best TV anime released in 2003. \"Night of the Chimera's Cry\" was the top rated episode, with the five other honored episodes being: \"Mother\" (3rd Place), \"The Alchemy Exam\" (4th Place), \"The Man with the Mechanical Arm\" (5th Place), \"To Challenge the Sun\" (7th Place) and \"Be Thou for the People\" (10th Place).

The American front cover art for each box features the character images over a background that shows 1/12 of a transmutation circle in rotation. The 13th Volume displays the same spot on the transmutation circle as the 1st volume.
All thirteen DVD volumes, as well as the movie, The Conqueror Of Shamballa, have been released in the United States. A limited special edition of the movie was released on November 14, 2006. MVM had released the first eight volumes in the UK; however, Funimation gave the rights over to Revelation Films.[citation needed] They will be re-releasing the first 8 DVDs on February 12 before finishing up to the last DVD in 2007. |
