There are several subplots that I had to gloss over and simplify since the story is actually fairly complex.
#THE CONQUEROR OF SHAMBALLA FULL MOVIE MOVIE#
Like the series, this movie has a lot going on at all times. It's after this failure that Eckhart tricks Edward into helping her make a more permanent opening through the dimensions, but the young man, alchemist powers or not, isn't going to let his world be invaded, even if it means never going home again. He makes quick work of the attack party who are eventually sucked back into a vortex and brought back to Earth.

By merely touching the suits of armor he can instill a small part of his soul into the suits and cause them to do his bidding. When the army arrives on Amestris however, they have to deal with the 'real' Alphonse Elric who has become quite an alchemist himself. When the gate is opened, the Thule leader, a woman named Dietlinde Eckhart, sends a platoon of armored soldiers through it to attack. They have a plan to use the dragon in a spell that will open a doorway to Amestris, which they plan to conquer. The creature turns out to be the homunculus Envy, and it gets captured by the Thule Society. His work comes to the attention of a Nazi group that calls themselves the Thune Society and they offer to sponsor his research.Īfter rescuing a psychic gypsy named Noa and encountering this world's versions of people he knew back on Amestris, Edward goes on an expedition to hunt down a dragon. Alphonse is interested in the new science of rocketry and has made a good amount of progress in the field. Edward is hanging around with Alphonse, the Earth version of his brother who grew up to be a young man. Edward Elric is trapped on Earth, in Weimar Germany, where his alchemist powers will not work and therefore he's unable to get back to his world, Amestris. The movie starts up two years after the final events in the TV series. It is a continuation of the show and if you haven't see that, you won't have any idea of what is going on. Warning: If you haven't seen the TV show, don't watch this movie.
#THE CONQUEROR OF SHAMBALLA FULL MOVIE SERIES#
This movie is able to bring together all of the things that made the series so good in a nice tight package. Could the creative team capture lightning in a bottle a second time? Would the movie have all of the fun, humor, and excitement as the show, or was it just a chance to cash in on a successful show? Luckily my fears were ungrounded.

Even so, I was a bit hesitant about watching the move that acts as a sequel to the show, Fullmetal Alchemist the Movie: Conqueror of Shamballa. The series had a lot of action, some real heart-felt drama, and a unique and creative 'world' that was brought to life over the course of 51 episodes. Fullmetal Alchemist is easily in the top ten of my favorite anime series.
