Fullmetal Alchemist - Season 2, Part 2 Box Set
These episodes bring the Fullmetal Alchemist series to its appropriately moving climax. Director Seiji Mizushima and screenwriter Shou Aikawa ratchet up the emotional intensity as they draw together the threads of the narrative, beginning with the terrible night when Al and Ed tried to resurrect their mother. In Liore, Scar uses the arcane knowledge of the Ishbalans and the lives of hundreds of soldiers to create a Philosopher's Stone. But the Elric Brothers have no time to explore its power: The Homunculi and the Military are circling them like sharks. Complicating matters further is the appearance of Hohenheim of Light, the boys' long-lost father. Newly promoted General Mustang and Major Armstrong launch a revolt against King Bradley as disagreements among the Homunculi escalate into violence. Alphonse tries to learn how to use the Philosopher's Stone to aid his brother, asking the despicable Shou Tucker for instruction. The fate of their world (and, possibly, this one) is at stake as Ed and Al are put to the ultimate test: If they fail, the Homunculi will continue their murderous rampage. But Fullmetal Alchemist isn't just a simple good versus evil story, as revelations about the origins of Envy and the role of Hohenheim prove. A truth even greater than the law of Equivalent Exchange prevails: the love between Alphonse and Edward Elric. The skillful blend of drama, adventure, and comedy make Fullmetal Alchemist a truly noteworthy series in the history of anime, one whose influence is sure to be felt for years to come. At the end of the last disc, viewers may feel the sort of emptiness readers experience when Sherlock Holmes goes over Reisenbach Falls. But the final episodes set up the feature, The Conqueror of Shamballa and Hiromu Arakawa's manga continues. (Rated TV PG: violence, grotesque imagery, nudity, tobacco use) --Charles Solomon

Black Adder - The Complete Collector's Set One of the best comedy series ever to emerge from England, Black Adder traces the deeply cynical and self-serving lineage of various Edmund Blackadders from the muck of the Middle Ages to the frontline of World War I. In his pre- Bean triumph, British comic actor Rowan Atkinson played all five versions of Edmund, beginning with the villainous and cowardly Duke of Edinburgh, whose scheming mind and awful haircut seem to stand him in good stead to become the next Archbishop of Canterbury--a ...
