Synopsis:

This collection of short stories offers glimpses into the world of *Fullmetal Alchemist*. The primary segment depicts a conflict within an alternate version of Amestris, where State Alchemists confront the dangerous Homunculi. The narrative explores themes of duty and consequence in a high-stakes battle against powerful, enigmatic foes.

Juxtaposed with this is "Chibi Party," a lighthearted, Super Deformed skit depicting characters celebrating after the events of *Fullmetal Alchemist: Conqueror of Shambala*. A further segment, "Kids," shifts the focus to a more domestic setting, featuring Edward Elric interacting with his grandchildren in modern-day 2005. These vignettes provide varied perspectives on the series’ established world and characters, offering moments of both intense drama and gentle reflection.

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.

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 intheir 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.nn2. Kids (Score: 9 out of 10)nnWow.. *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. nnWell 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.

When I saw this, I thought that the first special would actually play like a mini-RPG, you know, learning alchemy, doing a small battle with the Homoculi, that thing. I was sorley disspointed, as you just typed in your name and watched a small video go by. The rest of it was very good, the Chibi thearter giving me a laugh. It okay, but the price should have been lower for what it really was. Moving on.. I suppose I would only reccomend this to FMA fans.
