Fullmetal Alchemist: Premium Collection

It has definitely left a back mark on our memory, speaking about “The sacred start of Milos specials”. Certainly, a lot of fans agree with me on this, and here it came again, specials for another Fullmetal Alchemist movie, a more successful one might I add, “Fullmetal Alchemist: Premium Collection”. Spanning 3 episodes filled with fourth wall breaking and semi-hilarious references to the show and movie just like a cast celebrating after their major success.

- Art (7/10):
All three episodes look to have been animated differently, the first one was just spectacular with the fast-paced action it had, it required an animation just as fast and ... fluid and that was what it had.
The second episode had everything deformed (as referred to by the MAL synopsis), and it was just fine looking how unnecessary animation compared to the first one would have felt like. The third one was kind of meh, it had only short wholesome and slow moments so go figure.

- Sound (7.5/10):
Pretty decent I'd say, it was crazy enough to make sense of the humor that was going on and actually worked, unlike more of the times in the parent show.

- Enjoyment (8.2/10):
Compared to the Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood's movie this was high-class tier, a lot of funny moments mainly through bag punching characters and playing the opposite

- Overall (7.5/10):
An actual collection of specials worth their time, I'm double positive that you'll treasure these especially if you're a fan of the parent series. I'm not the biggest fan of it out there, and I don't even have a fresh memory of it in general and still got a blast.

This review is for the FMA Premium OVA Collection

1. Chibi Wrap Party (Score: 8 out of 10)

Chibi Wrap Party takes place after the world premiere of FMA The Movie: Conqueror Of Shamballa, as all your favorite characters (in chibi form BTW) celebrate their asses off in their drink party after the success of their first film. Hilarity will ensure, every comedic timing is just great and Ed and Al's reaction to Gluttony's new form is priceless. The animation style in chibi is surprisingly more clean and colorful than previous chibi OVAS and the English dub voice cast are having a lot of damn fun in ... their roles. Only negative for this is that it felt too short, but overall, it's a fun OVA and worth re-watching it a thousand more times.

2. Kids (Score: 9 out of 10)

Wow.. *sniff* *sniff*, this is a really beautiful OVA. It's basically a bunch of kids, that look like Edward, Al and Wenry, that get lost in the city, while trying to find their grandfather, but the ending is so heartfelt and sad as hell and it's a nice REAL ending to the FMA Movie Conqueror Of Shamballa (Yes, this was supposed to be an extra ending for the first FMA Movie, but it was cut away for some reason). The animation is nice, music is great and again, a nice OVA addition to the FMA franchise. Check it out.

Well those are all the OVAS on the FMA Premium OVA Collection DVD and there's only a live-action OVA and an interactive FMA feature, but there just OK, but the OVAS are better.

The OVAs were fine. The only complaint I have is that they did not include the 4th OVA: Reflections, which includes Envy and Greed having a rather deep conversation about the life of a Homunculus. It filled in a few confusing plot holes and there was no reason for it to have been excluded.
