This is not recommended, this is mandatory for any fan of Brotherhood (and seeing the ranking of this page, there are a lot of them n_n). As I said before, this really looks like a part of the series, especially Izumi's training (which is mentioned in the manga) and Mustang's education. In four chapters we have comedy, action, drama, alchemy and lots of emotion (and sadly, nothing of Armstrong.). The episodes are truly in the league of the original creation. what do we have here? A surprise and a very nice one. but hey, not that serious (although, it would have been awesome if Yui, Asian Kung-fu Generation or L'Arc~en~Ciel were involved in this project.). The music is also the typical in FMA, although there is no opening nor ending. As for the new characters the more destacable is Jude seiyuu: Show Hayami (Aizen in Bleach, Devilman in Devilman, Zarbon in Dragon Ball Z, Tokiomi Tohsaka in Fate/Zero, Archer in the first FMA series, and a long etc). The voices are the same form the Brotherhood anime, so good job there. Ishval, on the other hand, is quite brown, which according to the current cultural parameters, means that it's very realistic xD). The alchemy is colorful (with bolts of electricity flying in all directions, buildings structures that changes, or are directly destroyed), and the landscapes are equally beautiful and colorful (especially Risembool, with the fields, prairies and all that. The character design is excellent, changing from "normal" to "SD" in a totally normal, funny way (specially noted with Ed, Al, Winry and Izumi). The animation is superb, as in the main series. try to recover their bodies without dying). I want to highlight the first episode (my personal favorite, by the way), which touches the reason that motivates the Elrics to do what they do (you know. Episodes 2 and 3 have lots of comedic and touching moments, while 1 and 4 are more dramatic and serious. The interesting thing about these stories is that are so very well written, that they could be a part of the manga (or the Brotherhood anime). We'll see his studies, his problems, and his rivalry with an equally young Maes Hughes.

Not the adult, full prepared Flame alchemist, but the 18 years old student in the military academy. The fourth and final episode, "Yet Another Man's Battlefield", is the Mustang chapter (because, come on, could you imagine a special creation of FMA without him? That would be a commercial suicide!). Maybe less experienced than in her adulthood, but healthier, and badass as usual, we'll see how exactly she became a legend/nightmare for the soldiers of that place. The third episode, "Tales of the Master", is about the training of an 18 years old Izumi in Briggs. So, the brothers try to buy her forgiveness with some earrings. The second episode, "Simple People", is about how Ed want to give a present to Winry, so she doesn't get too mad (and by mad, I mean wrench assault) for his usual automail wrecking. but unlike Ed and Al, he was more successful. Like the brothers, he also broke the taboo and tried to revive someone. The first episode, "The Blind Alchemist", shows us the Elric brothers arriving to a mansion, attracted by a strange rumor about Jude, the blind alchemist. Like I said, there are four episodes, each with a different story. This is one of the few cases in wich the product took me by surprise. I mean, four fifteen minutes long self conclusive episodes? What could you get.
So, i watched Brotherhood's special with the intention of having fun, but not expecting anything great or mind blowing. Unfortunately, in most cases, these products tend to be mediocre at best, therefore, prudent consumers often face these creations with skepticism, or directly not expecting much. And, as with any successful product, OVA, specials and movies are created. Proof of that is the fact that it's ranked number 2 in this page, since who knows how many months. Fullmetal Alchemist is a mega success, specially the Brotherhood anime.
