Synopsis
Fullmetal Alchemist the Movie: Conqueror of Shamballa (2005) is the feature-length finale to the 2003 anime, and you can watch it online on iFILM. Studio Bones drops the story into an unexpected setting: Munich, 1923 — our own Germany, uneasy in the years between the wars.
Two years have passed since Edward Elric was torn out of his world and dumped into ours. Alchemy doesn't work here, so Ed buries himself in rocketry alongside Alphonse Heiderich, a young man who looks unnervingly like his lost brother, hoping the work will point him home. When the occult Thule Society — cozy with the rising Nazi party — closes in on a gateway to the mythical Shamballa, the two worlds start drifting toward collision. Back home, Alphonse Elric digs deeper into alchemy to bring his brother back.
Director Seiji Mizushima ends the first adaptation of Hiromu Arakawa's manga by wiring its alchemist fantasy straight into real European history — a swerve few adventure anime would risk. Essential viewing for anyone who finished the series and wants the ending. Stream Conqueror of Shamballa (2005) online on iFILM.
