Fullmetal Alchemist: The Sacred Star of Milos ★★★☆☆

Poster.

That it’s a pointless side story is a given, but it’s a fun one. The art is an interesting twist on the normal Fullmetal Alchemist designs and feels very Miyazaki-influenced and I really enjoy how rough and flexible the animation can be. Does feel quite overloaded, with that train sequence at the start having so much happening that it starts to become comical, as do the reveals and reversals later in the film.
