On This Day in Anime

Fifteen years ago marked the conclusion of the OVA collection for Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. These four special episodes offered fans a chance to revisit the world of Amestris and its beloved characters with self-contained stories. They explored events tangential to the main narrative, offering lighthearted interludes and deeper dives into specific character relationships.

These OVAs are valued by fans for extending the experience of a series many consider a masterpiece. They provide satisfying, albeit non-essential, additions that reinforce the themes of camaraderie and adventure present in the main show, offering a final taste of the world long after the main story's conclusion.
