The verdict

There are not yet enough audience votes to give this a reliable score. It is not currently playing in Hong Kong cinemas. Category IIB · 105 minutes.

What to expect

The 2005 feature that closes the original *Fullmetal Alchemist* television run, screening in Hong Kong for anifest 2026. It strands Edward Elric in a Weimar-era Germany where a secret society is turning alchemy into a weapon; the movie keeps its focus on the cost of the brothers’ separation rather than on easy reunions. The tone is downbeat and the action is driven by character fallout, not spectacle. At 105 minutes and rated IIB, it assumes you already know the Elrics’ history — anyone walking in cold will spend the runtime playing catch-up. Japanese audio with Traditional Chinese subtitles only; no dubbed option. Part of a festival programme, so it plays at selected anifest venues — check listings for session times and whether the house is running a standard or digital print.
