The Elric brothers have fallen once more under the care (and the stern eye) of the one who taught them the art of Alchemy – The formidable Izumi. But as a new player emerges from the jungle, it seems as if everyone has plans of their own for this mysterious young boy. Disgusted with the reckless pursuit of their goal, Izumi sends her former students away…
As both good intentions and the best laid plans go astray, the Elrics are soon separated by kidnappers and Ed must face the homunculus Greed alone. Must death be the only path to reunion? With reinforcements seeking to help the two brothers, they are soon on the path to Ishbal once more. Between the flood of new questions and the trickling flow of answers, this site of the mysterious war looks to be their only source for truth. But as the journey to the ruins and their guide reveal a dark series of events, will Ed and Al be ready for what they find? Or will they be forced to question everything they believe?The first episodes of the second season of Fullmetal Alchemist focus on the origins of the Homunculi. Izumi reveals that when Edward and Alphonse attempted to bring their mother back from the dead, they disturbed the order of the universe more profoundly than they could imagine. Ed remembers confronting a mysterious Gate that seemed to guard the path to all knowledge. The artists based the design on Rodin’s Gates of Hell, and its swirling human forms lend an appropriately grim power to the visuals. A new Wrath appears at the same time Greed has been freed from decades of confinement. When Ed fights Greed, he discovers that the Homunculi have weaknesses and can be destroyed under the right conditions. The fallen city of Ishbal remains at the center of the search for the Philosopher’s Stone. Sheska’s research into the death of Gen. Hughes suggests a link to Ishbalan war and the mysterious Col. Juliet Douglas who supposedly triggered it. Ed and Al reach the ruins of Ishbal and learn the true story of its destruction before Cols. Mustang and Kimbley arrive with an army. In nearby Liore, Ed finds himself caught between a monstrous plot hatched by Scar, Lust, and Gluttony, and the sinister plans of the Scarlet Alchemist, Lt. Col. Frank Archer, and their military superiors. Many series falter and grow repetitious in their second season; Fullmetal Alchemist only gets better. As the saga of the Elric Brothers unfolds, director Seiji Mizushima deftly blends powerful emotional drama, physical action and broad comedy into an unusually engaging adventure-fantasy.

I copy and paste the same review from the last review of Fullmetal Alchemist (Season one part two). I have change things though but it’s very little changes.
Introduction to Fullmetal Alchemist (No Spoilers)
Fullmetal Alchemist is about two young boys name Edward Elric and Alfonso Elric bringing their dead mother back to life using Alchemy. Now that Edward and Alfonso had a rough time, they return back to their childhood town to regroup and think of a different plan. After a break at Winery house, The boys are off again and later realize what is the last item for the stone. What will it take Edward and Alfonso to get the stone without deciding about the last item? If you are new to the anime, You might think it’s a little kids anime but it’s not. Fullmetal Alchemist includes war, violent fights, some gory scenes, rasicm. What makes this stand out is the will of the two young boys to bring their mother back to life. Now that bringing the mother back to life turned out to be a horrible event, Ed and Al continue to look for the stone and have all there original bodys to it’s normal state.
The boxset comes with amazing artwork of the anime and a unique way of placing the discs (contains 3 discs). The boxset also comes with the name and the number of the episodes and a awesome circle sign on the disc itself. It comes with booklets explains where everything to place and the characters profile.
The DVD comes with all the episodes of season one part one, subtitles and extras. The extras includes Production artwork, trailers, Clean Opening and Clean Ending.
The series itself i heared was amazing and the whole series comes in 4 boxsets including a movie. Since i haven’t finish the series yet, I’m hoping that i encouage people to buy this anime and watch how Edward Elric and Alfonso Elric paths unfold..

I absolutely love the series and the second season didn’t dissapoint, it just seems like because of the decreased number of episodes, it’s not as fufilling as the first season.
