review 1: ... I Love Fullmetal Alchemist. Favourite manga. This was such an amazing end, so much suspense! I was so nervous as they were fighting the dwarf in the flask! and become almost crazy as the book disappeared and they continued to fight it! I almost cried soooo many times as I read this. First with Alphonse! ToT (but wow I love that panda!) Alphonse is so Lovely. And then with Greed. seriously, I loved that guy from the get go! okay, maybe it was from when he thought big brother was "gone" hahaha classic. I am so sad he .. died? ceased to exist. I really wanted him to stay T~TAny time Major Armstrong sheds tears of sadness, I do too!! An then when Ed made his final sacrifice, I was so sad!! no way!! T~T and then Hohenheim T~TI Love how things have turned out!! Edward finall... morey grew a bit XD I was so happy he was taller than Alphonse. I like (I'm not sure how I feel about this actually) that Mrs. Bradley was allowed to have and raise Selim. very weird. I like how it was alluded to that King Bradley loved his wife, she deserved that. I loved that Edward was a Lot taller by the end XDso much happy! BUT. I don't like how Mustang lost his eyesight, it doesnt make sense! I guess pride forced him to transmute that doctor guy.. but I am dissatisfied with the result. so bummy! hmmm maybe "the truth" is cold hard justice. that makes sense. okay, I really love this series. It was so fun and interesting to read, I havent read much literature on alchemy, but this one was definitely fun and worth reading. I love a lot of the ideas in this series. Great Stuff!
review 2: In SummaryIt’s a wild final showdown against the homunculus Father, ultimately leading both Elric boys back to the portal of Truth. Arakawa-sensei does an amazing job bringing the series’ multiple journeys and quests to an end in the concluding volume of Fullmetal Alchemist.The Review(Spoiler Alert!!!)Considering the many events of the Day of Reckoning, they seem to span several days instead of one. The conclusion to the battle against the homunculus Father is no different. The actual duration of the fight is just minutes, but so much happens so quickly, Arakawa-sensei burns through panels to convey everything. Action fans will get their fill with missiles, bullets, alchemy, and old-fashioned fisticuffs all aimed toward the former Dwarf in the Flask. At times, the images do get kind of grotesque. Part of it is due to the ferocity of the battle, but part of it is because of the homunculus’ monstrous nature. He, as an Amestrian soldier notes, is a dead ringer for Edward, but when his opponents’ firepower starts taking its toll, the distortions that result in the homunculus’ body are pretty scary.During the course of the fight, both brothers wind up back at the portal of Truth. The way Al goes back is heartrending, and Ed’s reaction to it kicks up the emotion several levels. In contrast, the scene in which Ed returns evokes a different type of tension, coming across more like a showdown of wits. He has an intriguing philosophical interchange with the shadowy figure of the portal, and though the cynical part of me wonders whether their bargain actually is an exchange of “equivalents” (the item Ed offers is used, after all), Ed’s solution is one that took me by surprise.With the final battle over, Arakawa-sensei wraps things up for her characters. Considering how large the cast is, there is a lot of wrapping up to do. (If you look at the splash page for Chapter 107, you get a feel for how big that task is). She does an excellent job though, covering everything from the Xing travelers to the Ishbalan refugees to Hohenheim’s return to Resembool. Fullmetal Alchemist comes to a wonderfully satisfying conclusion, and I salute Arakawa-sensei for a compelling story, consistently delightful artwork, and unforgettable characters in this series which, in my opinion, is bound to become a classic. less
