Fullmetal Alchemist returns to Blu-ray starting June 15th

It’s a series which captured the hearts of so many people (ourselves included) when it first debuted over 15 years ago in the United Kingdom. It’s also a series that saw us release arguably our most ambitious (now out-of-print) Ultimate Edition ever back in 2016, but admittedly the original Fullmetal Alchemist series is a show that hasn’t been easy to purchase for a few years.

But that’s changing as today we’re delighted to announce the series will be available on Blu-ray once again starting on 15th June!

The series will be getting new releases from us that will end up looking lovely together on your shelf with your anime collection!

ABOUT
FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST

Synopsis: In an era of war and corruption, State Alchemist Edward Elric and his brother Alphonse desperately search for the Philosopher’s Stone. The legendary artifact is their last hope to restore what they’ve lost- but how far will they go to get it?

From the ashes of their childhood, Edward and Alphonse quickly rise to fame within the ranks of the military, realising along the way that the power to create is only ever a breath away from the power to destroy. Whether they’re up against monsters, mad-men, or military officials, the bond these brothers share will be the greatest weapon they have in the fight for their lives.

Director: Seiji Mizushima (Mobile Suit Gundam 00, Expelled From Paradise)

Studio: BONES (Eureka Seven, Mob Psycho 100, Wolf’s Rain)
