Was I the only one who thought that keeping whoever is inside that "body" alive is freaking sick? Creepy..

+1

Btw, does any1 know what the ost/song at the ending is called?

I think it was really good. It's true that it did nothing for the main story, but it made clear that death is something you can't avoid or fight against, one of the main themes in FMA (or so I think). Human transmutation is impossible, because the price is too high to pay and if you try, you'll only be left in despair.That's how it is and the OVA made this painfully clear.

At first it was rather playful and funny and then... *BAM* 180° turnaround into despair and pain. Arakawa-sensei is really cruel. D:

I too want to know what the song is during the credits. XD It had really set the mood of the aftermath. Goodness, this was quite a decent OVA, but I felt that it was a bit too short and the drama was kind halved a bit. It certainly held some potential. Just wished it was longer to create an even greater impact on us. Still the message came across and I just loved Edward's last line.//that really wrapped up this OVA. Nicely done though overall.

I remember reading this a while back. It always creeped me out and left me depressed. The OVA did a good job of getting that across. Sad household, really.

Agree. It's a nice sidestory that adds to the background / lore of the series. Having to live a lie forever... That must be quite painful to endure.

yeah i was extremely creeped out. A sad story :(
Yes, the ED song was very nice. I'd like to know who the artists is too please.

Interesting OVA but that girl-thing was pretty creepy...

really sad, but for some reason im still amuzed because Ed put on his cloath in the head...1rst time i sawthat

It was definitely a very haunting OVA, and I liked it quite a bit. As for the real Rosalie, the ending of I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream comes to mind.

And now I'm off to watch Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu. xD

decent OVA ..

that transmuted girl moving her mouth was kinda creepy o_O!

4/5.. (8/10)

n like always, things don't go the Elric Brothers way ... *failed attempts*

Really good OVA, creepy yet strangely beautiful.

I wonder what the point of keeping Rosalie around still was...xD
Still creepy, feel bad for Jubau though...D:

Yeah, if Rosalie was still alive inside that body, it certainly calls back to the end of the story and Ted's fate. Though this OVA wasn't nearly as depressing.

A decent watch though, more introspective than I was thinking it to be ... that is, when basing it off of the old FMA OVAs, which were just throwaway nonsense.

Creeeeepy! But I still really liked it.

'But... Nobody was saved' ;_;

The ED Theme is on the FMA Brotherhood OST. It's track 28 if I remember it correctly ^^

Senju Akira - Happiness ~Requiem from "The Blind Alchemist"~

Fanatastiv OVA!
It reminded me very much of the twilight zone.
Creepy yet thought-provoking.

8/10

^This, and
^This. My thoughts exactly.

And while I'm at it, I could mention that it was quite a nice OVA, although in retrospect, nothing really happened xD
In the beginning: Human transmutation, nah you can't do that.
In the end: Human transmutation, nah you still can't do that.
xD

Wow. Amazing. It really made me cry o.o
What a household...now the only question is: does the real Rosalie feel and understand everything? Can she talk and chooses not to or can she think but not talk? Or maybe neither of the two... I think that this is what truly made the Elrics glad that their transmutation failed that miserably. Because we could all see that a successful transmutation is in no way better...made even worse by the fact that the creature actually resembles Rosalie, while the monster Ed&Al created hardly even resembled a person, not to mention Trisha herself.

A very minor detail, but it really caught my attention in a very good way: that soldier at the gate smiling when the butler said 'Every one of us bears the burden of the truth.' I don't know why, but I needed to rewind and watch that short scene three more times. It was just so...meaningful.

And of course the music near the end and then that haunting ending were amazing. Wow.

Oh, and how could I forget: the way fake Rosalie turned to Al and replied to his 'Aren't you scared?' with 'Why? Aren't you the same?' (something like that, don't remember the exact words) with such innocent naivete...raises some questions.

But Judau's transmutation was successful, not successful, if you know what I mean, that's what everyone told him after he failed with bringing the real Rosalie back completely. Because.. I mean, he lost his eyes, doing his best, and they just couldn't bring themselves to tell him he failed : (
(Also, Ed&Al were kids when they attempted human transmutation, Judau was fully grown, even growing a bit old)
