By M&C News Nov 23, 2005, 17:20 GMT

Based on the best-selling Manga by Hiromu Arakawa, the phenomenally successful FULL METAL ALCHEMIST series continues on DVD with the third volume of adventures featuring episodes 9 to 12 of the 51-episode series: Be Thou For The People; The Phantom Thief; The Other Brothers Elric Part 1; and The Other Brothers Elric Part 2.

Set in Europe in the early part of the 20th Century, FULL METAL ALCHEMIST's semi-mythical world is one in which people with special abilities are able to manipulate and transform objects from one form to another. These people are known as alchemists. However, this manipulation process does not come without a price, as young brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric learn to their cost.
 
Be Thou For The People
Now a fully qualified State Alchemist, Ed is given his first official mission in the form of a routine inspection of a coalmine in the small town of Youswell. Ed and Al arrive to find the town in financial and industrial decline, and the locals bearing a deep-rooted contempt for any representatives of the State. The cause of the unrest is traced to a corrupt military official named Yoki and his young assistant, Ryla, herself a skilled and dangerous alchemist.
 
The Phantom Thief
On a visit to Aquroya, the City of Water, seeking information regarding the Philosopher's Stone, Ed and Al become involved in the search for an elusive thief known only as Psiren. When a bout of food poisoning lands Ed in hospital, the two brothers meet a beautiful nurse, Clara, with whom Al becomes besotted.
 
The Other Brothers Elric Parts 1 and 2
Following a tip-off from the mysterious Psiren, Ed and Al travel to Xenotime, where it is rumoured someone is conducting advanced research into the origins and existence of the Philosopher's Stone. On arrival, they are surprised to be greeted with great suspicion when introducing themselves to the locals. It appears there are already two young brothers, both alchemists, living in Xenotime and going by the names of Edward and Alphonse Elric!
 
FULL METAL ALCHEMIST: VOLUME 3 – EQUIVALENT EXCHANGE (cert. PG) will be released on DVD (£19.99) by MVM on 18th July 2005. Special Features include textless opening and closing sequences, illustration, line art and model galleries, English 5.1 and Japanese 2.0 audio with optional English subtitles.
 
'Full Metal Alchemist Vol. 3' is available now to buy via Amazon and will be available for pre-order via AmazonUK shortly.
