The OVA is based on the side story of the same name that manga creator Hiromu Arakawa drew for the Fullmetal Alchemist Guidebook. The first Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood disc release will also feature the first two episodes from the television series. The Limited Initial Edition will add "Hiromu Arakawa's 4-Panel Theater," which will be the first time that Arakawa's four-panel gag manga have been animated. The other extras will include an "Eye Catch Card" illustrated with the commercial bumper artwork from the anime and a 16-page Alchemist's Log about the behind-the-scenes production.

A short 13 minutes OVA, but it has everything the initial part of the original FMA that Brotherhood lacked. in other words, its FMA par excellence. It revisits the powerful and profound consequences of human alchemy and playing God. For such a short time, it presented the impact proportional to that of Nina's tragedy.
