Edward faces his destiny and the burdens of his actions as chaos surrounding the quest for the Philosopher’s Stone reaches full boil. Alliances shift and factions fracture when horrible secrets and undeniable truths glare in the light of day. Episodes: Holy Mother His Name is Unknown The Stray Dog Hohenheim of LightAs Fullmetal Alchemist builds to its climax, director Seiji Mizushima and screenwriter Shou Aikawa ratchet up the emotional intensity. Ed and Al learn two terrible lessons. The first is that any deed, however well-intended, can have dire consequences–including Ed’s efforts to free the people of Liore from a false prophet in the first episodes of the series. The second lesson reinforces the truth of the cliché “Be careful what you wish for, because you may get it.” Using the arcane knowledge of the Ishbalans and the lives of hundreds soldiers, Scar succeeds in creating a Philosopher’s Stone–in a most unlikely place. But the Elric Brothers have no time to explore the magical Stone’s vast powers: The Homunculi and the Military are circling them like vultures. Complicating matters further is the reappearance of the Hohenheim, the long-lost father of Edward and Alphonse. Hardcore otaku will notice manga artist Hiromu Arakawa’s cow self-caricature amid the stars floating around a dazed Winrey. (Rated TV PG: violence, grotesque imagery, tobacco use) –Charles Solomon

This whole series has been great, but this disc has a lot of moments where you see the whole action and reaction sequence. I like the whole death of Scar sequence and the leader of the movement in Lior. Great twists. This whole series has a way of misleading you into thinking it’s just a silly kids show till you realize just how harsh it is. I love it.

In Becoming the Stone, several of the characters are forced to take stock of themselves and answer for their past actions. Hohenheim of Light (the Elric Bros. father) makes a long awaited appearance and brings more mysteries with him. For Roy Mustang fans, I think he has some of his best moments in this volume. Truthfully, I’ve enjoyed all the episodes in this series, and vol. 11 continues to be great.
