As the popular fantasy-adventure Fullmetal Alchemist builds to its climax, director Seiji Mizushima and screenwriter Shou Aikawa skillfully draw together the strands of the narrative, going back to the awful night when Al and Ed tried to resurrect their mother. Divisions appear in seemingly monolithic forces as General Mustang and Major Armstrong launch a revolt against King Bradley and the Military; and disagreements among the Homunculi escalate into violent conflicts. Izumi joins forces with Edward--although she complains that he insists on calling her sensei (teacher), but still refuses to listen to her. Alphonse tries to learn how to use the Philosopher's Stone to help his brother, even stooping to ask the despicable Shou Tucker for instruction. The Truth Behind Truths will leave viewers on the edge of their seats, awaiting the final resolution of this compelling series. (Rated TV PG: violence, grotesque imagery, nudity, tobacco use) --Charles Solomon
