Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad is about a band, but at the same time it is about the main character, Koyuki Tanaka and the trials he goes through. It is an exceptional telling of Koyuki's dull life until he meets Ryusuke, and the band Beck- and music in general- comes into his life. The story is amazing and the voice acting is as well. Koyuki is supposed to have an amazing singing voice, and Funimation did an excellent job choosing a voice actor that has a great voice (Greg Ayres) to portray him. While this disc doesn't include much about the band- yet- the start of it is there and the story gets off to a quick start. The pace is a bit fast but not too much so. The music as well is fun to listen to, even on its own without paying attention to what's going on. The disc contains the first five episodes and a guitar pick as a bonus. If you have read the manga it's based on, you'll be pleased as it stays pretty close. All in all this disc is definitely worth owning.

![Fullmetal Alchemist: The Conqueror of Shamballa [DVD] [2005]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/304b2327-370a-41e7-956a-951dd4939472.png)
Package Description: On their promised day, the world moves... It is 1923 in Munich. Two years have passed since Edward Elric's sacrifice ripped him out of his world and into ours, separating him from his younger brother, Alphonse, In that time, Ed's continued research into rocketry has allied him with Alphons Heiderich, a fellow researcher who oddly resembles Ed's brother. Progress has been slow, however, and Ed has become discouraged, But when he saves a quiet Gypsy girl with the power to read minds, Ed is quickly pulled into a plot by the Thule Society and the burgeoning Nazi Party that could drag both worlds into a terrible war. Back in his own world, Al has been unlocking new secrets of alchemy and gaining incredible powers, all in the hopes of finding Ed. Battling the occult, ideological extremists, and monstrous Homunculi lurking in the shadows, can the brothers find a way to reunite without causing chaos and bloodshed? What will happen when the world of alchemy and the world of modern science collide?

For anyone who really loves history, this movie is an interesting choice. Set right after WWI and before WWII, this movie brings into perspective what was going on in Germany to lead them into war. At the same time, the story focuses on Ed and Al and ties up the story of the Fullmetal Alchemist nicely. Not really a movie for anyone who hasn't seen the end of the FMA series, since it picks up after the end and might be a bit confusing, unless you haven't seen any of FMA. But then other concepts might be confusing. On the whole, a really great movie which fits the series well. Comes with a lovely booklet of notes, both historical and fitting the context of the movie to the series. If you collect the series, a definite must have.

The first disc in one of the greatest animes ever. The first four episodes of the series, Fullmetal Alchemist: The Curse, starts off the series exceptionally. It draws you in immediately with humor and drama, and the relationship between the two main characters, which is vital to the series, is established quickly. It goes into the background of the two characters setting the foundation for the entire series after. The disc includes an amazing little booklet with character info and information on place settings. Highly recommend this disc to anyone who loves FMA or anime in general or just wants to see a really amazing show.
