Thank you NetGalley and VIZ media for a free advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
Chock-full of new comics and bonus content, Fullmetal Alchemist 20th Anniversary Book is a must-have for any FMA fan. In addition to collecting short comics and character design, the book also gives readers a behind-the-scenes look at Arakawa's process and craft.

This book is a great collection of bonus stories and promotional materials that were created for various FMA related events, video games, movies, etc. A lot of these were things I had not seen before, so it was fun to see some of these rarer pics. The majority of this book is a collection of shorts and comic strips, each of which are introduced with a short description of what it was created for. I enjoyed reading this, it was vary nostalgic to see some of these, as I am a big fan of the series. Those who love FMA will definitely not want to miss out on this book!
I'm a huge fan of the mangas and the shows, but this advanced copy was almost unreadable with the obnoxious watermark centered on every page. Loved the content and hated the format.
