...Ok, I'm gonna get mad. I downloaded the freaking .mkv file. What the fuck is matroska? XD Lol.
But GOD BLESS ME, I found a better translation x___X Yesss. I'm gonna watch it and expect me in 24 minutes to come fangirling over Ling x)

EDIT:
Ok, I couldn't squeal because my sister was in the same room Dx Damn.
I'm kind of disappointed that they didn't show Winry's chainsaw scene xP That was a freaking hilarious panel. But Ling more than makes up for it, especially when he opens his eyes x3
Miyano does a great job...yet I can't help but think of Tamaki (Ouran High School Host Club, same seiyuu) xD And the 'I'll follow you everywhere!-glomp-' scene didn't help (everyone who watched the 'my best friend' Kyouya/Tamaki scene knows what I'm talking about XD)
And Ling in the ED *__* Yum-my.

That new opening is nice, but the first one was better. I didn't really think anything of the ending...except that the first one was nicer xD Lol.

ok, what can I say, the new opening was great, really hints at many things to come...

Mei's intro - Its a shame they skipped the mine scenes, but really there would be no way to fit everything in one episode otherwise so i can live with that.

Riza's and Barry's scene - well done, shame they couldn't prolong it a little bit more (telephone scene)

Ling's intro - great, faithful to the manga and honestly I love how they revised the whole geography discussion (background scene against the drawing on the sand from the manga) it was much clearer.

Fight - nice, I love how they handled the 'acrobatics', glad they didnt skip the 'rope catch' scene, overall very smooth and coherent, loved the costume design (found it strange that the 'ropes' were white but its cool)

Ran Fan :3

rabbit trap >.<

Overall Im very pleased with how it turned out, next time it seems we delve deeper into the conspiracy...

Hi, I'm being inconsiderate by not reading anything posted before, watching some other series atm ^^,
so, at last we're deviating a little from the original anime, hurray
and Ling is effin' awesome xD
and Winry is as scary as ever when Ed brakes his arm.. yet another time xD

I was waiting for Ling and Mei to make an anime appearance and they were very cool and the voices are very well done.

I totally agree :D.

One a side-note: why are they skipping all of the cool jokes from Mustang?? The part with Barry the Chopper was very funny in the manga.

Am I the only one that found Ling annoying? When I first saw his character in the OP I was hopping for a laid back guy that was semi-serious. I'm a bit disappointed that he's your typical happy go lucky nut case. Other then that and the jumping around, the episode was good.

For the beginning half, he's mostly the crazy, fainting awesome guy. He has a more serious side to his personality though and it shows more and more as time goes by. Can't say much more about him without revealing spoilers, but he's not just the typical nut, lol.

I kind of didn't like this episode.

Not a fan of the little girl and her pet panda.
It's weird that a guy they kind of breezed over a couple of episodes ago seems to be much more important.
Barry's appearance and Roy and Riza seemed totally inconsequential in the way it was presented.
Fight scene was abnormally heavy.
Ling is a little annoying.

On the good side though, Al has a power up, and Miyano Mamorou is always a welcome addition to any cast.

As someone who didn't watch much of the original series, the new characters are interesting, but I felt the episode wasn't that great. The new OP and ED were also decent, but not stellar. It felt like something was lacking for the whole episode.

Hm, I don't intend to be spoilerific, but this much I can tell you: he's a Crouching Moron Hidden Badass.

I remember, when I read that chapter in which he remembers the Gate, I was like 'So...what does that mean...O.O Ohwait, Al just got a power up!'
and I couldn't wait for him to use alchemy without the circle. So awesome x3 I don't know why, but for me Al > Ed.

Episodes are becoming very interesting & entertaining to watch now that it is fully onto new manga material.

Quite enjoyed this episode, and not having read the manga was introduced to a whole heap of new characters which spiced it all up for me.

Not very happy about the new OP, with the previous being my favorite from any anime to date, but alas it had to happen eventually.

There was a certain data table published in the databook of manga.

Certain characters are "weak" against certain animals.

xDD Such dark thoughts. You see, no one here ever suspected ANYONE of wanting to kill a panda. It's a well-known fact that pandas are unkillable.
(Do NOT come here and tell me you're a panda hunter, I'll slaughter you.)

Don't worry. I'm assumed the same thing and now after rewatching it, it was kinda obvious that he has a thing for weird alien pandas.

Liked the episode, and Ling reminds me of Xellos. You know you're supposed to hate him, but you love him nonetheless. I've looked up the name of his seiyuu, but nothing really pops up as recognizable to me. I mean, I've watched a few episodes of each one, but nothing really stayed with me.

A few scenes were taken out, but I've gotten used to that by now when it comes to anime and manga.

I loved Ed's reaction to Al being awesome now. XD But what I don't know is what Ed wrote in blood afterwards when he collapsed on the ground. Anyone catch that?
