<P> The idea to create a Fullmetal Alchemist movie set during the second anime 's storyline came from the series 's producers . The movie 's original plot was written by Yuichi Shinbo who also came up with the new characters ' names . From there , director Kazuya Murata did research on Spain to develop Table City , intended as a contrast to Amestris , which was based on England . Because it was the only time in the series that the main characters traveled to another country , Murata had difficulties concluding it , wondering if it would affect the overarching storyline . Therefore , the story was set during the time Edward realized Alphonse 's human body existed somewhere , with the logic that knowledge would encourage him to travel to another area to do research . ( This likely places the events of the film somewhere around episode 21 of Brotherhood . Alphonse has learned to transmute with only his hands , but Mustang 's subordinates have not yet been split up , definitively placing it somewhere between episodes 15 and 24 . ) Hiromu Arakawa was not included as part of the staff but was still looking forward to the film . </P>
