This film is much more of a stand alone story rather than a continuation of Ed and Al's personal adventure, even so, it sticks with the same style and themes (Albeit having different animation, making things look only slightly different) of the the two previous animes. And in doing so, i'm sure it will not dissapoint fans of the series, yet, it only dissapointed me slightly as it was not a direct continuation of the Brotherhood series, but a story set sometime during Ed and Al's quest to return their bodies back to normal.
