I've recently watched MACs Fullmetal Alchemist part 1 on DVD5s and can honestly say that picturewise it was better than the EZ on DVD9s! Both had pixilation issues, but MAC dropped the extras and the 5.1 feed resulting in a better picture overall!
I can't say for sure but I think the video is interlaced and this is what's saving them the space on discs... in addition an interlaced picture does look better on an anamorphic widescreen display so perhaps the best place to put these two sets head to head would be a moniter??
I can't say I blame MAC for putting this out on the cheaper 5's seeing asthough they're going to reissue it when the series completes it's R1 DVD run anyway I guess it's bad business to be lumbered with a load of "Part 1" sets that no one wants... I suspect the reissued sets to be on 9's but I guess we'll only know that come october-ish time...
