Undoubtedly one of the best Anime films ever made. I have seen every episode and the movie and will comment on the whole series and not just this DVD becuase once you start watching this you will find it hard to stop and may find yourself buying the whole series.
The plot is set in another land with different religions and where science is replaced with alchemy. Although it is fiction a lot of it is based on fact and the morals and side stories apply to today's world although it seems to be based in the past.
The animation is fantastic compared with other Anime and the storyline it completely different to anything that I have ever watched.
The story is about two young brothers that try to bring their mother back from the dead and fai, one loses his leg then sacrifices his arm to save his brother, confining his soul to a suite of armor. The pair set off on a mission to get their original bodies back and save their world from corruption.
It can be very sad at times so get a box of tissues ready.

I see you've posted this as a DVD review, but you've not mentioned the DVD features. Are there any extras? If so, what are they and are they any good? If you add to this, or if you change it to be posted as a "Film Only" review, which can be done by accessing "edit review" above the review and changing the drop down menu under the "Which format are you reviewing?" question at the bottom, please let me know and I'll re-rate.
Advantages: Some fantastic characters, DVD features both Japanese and English dub Disadvantages: Takes a while to get to grips with the basic storyline
Advantages: Very funny, emotional storyline (to the point of tear-inducing), very cool soundtrack (if you like J-Pop/Rock) Disadvantages: Suffers the same fatal flaw as all anime in Europe: expensive to purchase entire season
