Fullmetal Alchemist: Premium Collection

This review is for Chibi Party (Enkai-hen).

Ok, since there are no other reviews, I thought I'd give it a go. "FMA: Chibi Party" is really not an OVA that's all about the story, art, or sound - it's just supposed to be random and funny - a bit like a blooper reel.

It's a 6 minute animation that takes place on the studio lot right after "FMA: The Conqueror of Shambala" has supposedly finished shooting. All the characters from the film (and others from the series) show up at the after party for drinks and debauchery.

There is little to nothing in the way of a plot here. You're just enjoying watching the characters interact in a different way than you would have during the course of the film or series.

If you were a fan of the characters in the series and enjoyed "The Conqueror of Shambala" then you will probably enjoy this OVA - it's fun. And when you know all the characters like they're your friends, it's hilarious.

If you haven't watched "The Conqueror of Shambala", then there are a lot of moments which just won't make sense and you won't find funny. If you were not a fan of the characters in the series or you did not like the sillier episodes from the series, then this OVA may not be for you.

I lol'd a number of times watching this short and to me, a fan of the movie and the series, it was great. It was as close as I'll ever get to kicking back a couple of beers with my drunk stupid friends from the FMA universe. read more

This review is for Kids (Kodomo-hen).

Note: This OVA is not going to tell you the life of Ed, Al and all the other characters after the series and movie. The only purpose the OVA has it's to make the viewer smile at the end. It's only 3 minutes so what did you expect?
Seeing the short amount of length the OVA had, there isn't much to say. Personally I enjoyed it. The story was catchy enough and made some people wonder, the art was... as usual, the sounds were good too, and the characters were the only things that stood out , especially the one at the end.
Overall watch it, smile, get over it. read more
