The Limited Edition Series Tin conains v.10 Journey to Ishbal and the Fullmetal Alchemist Original Soundtrack 3. Box will hold episodes 10-13. Amazon.com As the popular fantasy adventure Fullmetal Alchemist continues, the filmmakers give the audience a respite from the intense action with a silly episode about Lt. Havoc's blind date with Major Armstrong's sister. (Fortunately for both them, she looks nothing like the burly Major.) As the story begins to build to its climax, the significance of seemingly unrelated events becomes clearer. Sheska the librarian shares her research into the death of Gen. Hughes with Winry, and the evidence suggests a link to the Ishbalan war and the mysterious Col. Juliet Douglas who may have inadvertently triggered it. Ed and Al reach the ruins of Ishbal and learn the real story of its destruction from the chimera Meta--before Cols. Mustang and Kimbley arrive with a small army. Even the city of Liore, where Ed exposed a false prophet at the beginning of the series, is linked to Ishbal and the quest for the Philosopher's Stone. Viewers also discover the origins of the Homunculus Lust, and her links to the Elrics' enemy, Scar. The deluxe edition comes with a tin box bearing the Ouroubouros symbol of the Homunculi and a third soundtrack CD. (Rated TV PG: violence, grotesque imagery, tobacco and alcohol use) --Charles Solomon
