Good to see Ross back again, I liked her oath of loyalty and the salute. Riza, don't tell me she's going to bite the dust! Please no! Mustang was so cool and funny when he was on the phone with Riza. XD Anyway, great episode!

I knew Mustang had a plan! My faith in him is restored. To be honest, I don't know where this anime could be heading, I haven't read the manga or seen FMA. What could the father want from the philosophers stone? If it's something stupid like world domination, I will honestly cry from frustration.

Also, the father looked really similar to the guy from the myth.

Ha, I knew it!! Now, I feel like an accomplished detective ahahaha. To think that I was right about Barry the Choppah, too.
Mustang, you awesome bastard!!
Heh, so that's what Winry's parents looks like, huh. It could be that Scar just got his arm from his brother and went rampage and killed her parents.

Well shit, Scar has it coming his way now. Glad to see Winry's family fleshed out a bit here. Gluttony vs Hawkeye? Hmm, I have a feeling they'll both live through that. Then again, "death of the undying"? Could that mean Gluttony is done for? Interesting.

But most of all... Ross is alive! Brilliant plan by Mustang.

Interesting episode, not for the newfound Maria, but for what happens next, the stories are very different from the FMA, the scenario on Rockbell and more carry much fervor in history because of the difference, not bad dialogues during the narration, drawings and animations average. The twist on the operation of espionage carried out by Mustang, receive my favor. ^_^

It's like a snow avalanche came in roll. Barry vs. Barry LOL that was so funny.

I'm so glad that Maria is alive, but I had a feeling that she will be protected by her friends. Sneaky Mustang :D

Oh god Ed's reaction when he found out who killed Winrys parents. That will go crazy.

And pls no Riza has to fight against Gluttony, when something happened to her I will be so mad, because she's such a great character, so pls no ;_ ;

Good, it's confirmed it was all a way for Ross to escape. - There was no way Mustang would believe a rumour that quick and act on it.

Funny to see Barry fight his own body.
Also it seems instead of Mustang, Scar killed Winry's parents.

OH, HELL YEAAA! When I first read/watched this, these where my favourite episodes/chapters. I remember there was a filler episode from the 2003 version that was light hearted day in the life of Mustang and his man. And I loved it, since then I was hoping for some kind of spin off with these characters.

And now I’m watching Mustang smock out the enemy with clever planning and organising. If Hiromu Arakawa makes another action adventure manga, I hope she bases it on these kinds of adventures. These few episodes are infinitely better than anything I saw in jormungand.

Maria Ross is,alive! As I thought, Mustang wouldn't simply kill her, and with his mind that kind of an intrigue was really possible.

Xerxes looked nice. We also learned some more about Winry's parents.

And that ending... I dislike bad cliffhangers, but this one was definitely very good. I hope everything is gonna be alright eventually.

What? Killing the people who tended his injuries on battlefield is so uncharacteristic of Scar. He spared the life of the Amestrian who betrayed him and sold him to the military. Surely he wouldn't kill the people whom he's indebted to. He's no bloodthirsty psychopath. There had better be a good explanation or I'm calling bullshit with this one. Roy's phone sequence was brilliant, the guy's a genius! We haven't seen May for a while, I hope she'll have more screentime. Ever since the pace slowed up a bit the episodes were improving steadily. I'm satisfied with where the show's going.

I was wondering why so many people still love Roy despite what he just did to Maria but once I found out what actually happened that night, I let out one of the biggest sighs of relief I had in a while and ended up loving his character a lot more because that final part of his complicated escape plan was done so brilliantly. I can't believe that I was happy to get fooled. I hope she'll get to Xing safely.

The Ishbalans weren't entirely exterminated after all and a lot of them were really familiar with the Rockbells. Scar being Winry's parents' murderer really was an unfortunate surprise.

Barry's having fun fighting his own body but Rize's in really big trouble, getting cornered by Gluttony in a tower of all places. The preview's very worrying too...

So Roy explains his plan to save Maria Ross and try to expose the homunculi.

Also, Scar killed Winry's parents. The explanation will come later, but this will make the fight between Ed and Scar even better

I'm about to watch episode 18 now, so far this anime is good but nothing extraordinary, I'm sure it will get better but I'm 18 episodes in and I'm not "hooked in" yet, on the other hand, Steins;Gate had me "hooked in" since episode 13.

The thing I'm disliking about this anime is that it has plenty of comedy in inappropriate times, for example, when the anime tries to get serious they insert a random comedy out of nowhere and I simply can't take an anime seriously like this, they are overusing that shtick and it started to get old for me, I'm not liking that.

When Steins;Gate decided to get serious it was serious from beginning to end, this one however has comedy in those serious moments and I'm not liking that one bit.

By this point I consider this a 7/10 anime, I hope this gets better.

Good episode overall. Although it is weird seeing the difference of who murdered Winry's parents during the Ishval war when comparing the original to this. Still, a good scene there nonetheless. Plus it was nice seeing Lieutenant Ross safe and she heads to Xing to stay there on the DL for now after everything that happened in Amestris surrounding the allegations and her being 'dead' by Roy Mustang's flames.

Another bad episode. I don't get why they wouldn't just kill off Ross for good instead of retconning the whole last episode, since it once again portrays Mustang as a "good guy" to appeal to the fans and she doesn't have an important role in the story alive anyway. Really leaves an unsatisfying feeling

Is it just me or am I the only one who's bothered by the fact that a fucking serial killer joins the supporting cast for no reason than to be some comedic tool? It even bothered me when I was younger, but more so now

Ishvalans pull up from literally nowhere who just so happen to know about Winry's parents and who killed them so Ed would actually have a purpose for being dragged out here other than why not. It just so happens to be the one person he allows himself to hate so one thing leads to another I guess. I'm starting to realize this whole story was just based on conveniences and coincidences the more I think about it

Best part was Armstrong running shirtless tho ngl

Once they arrive in Resembool, Edward and
Armstrong meet up with Heymans Breda, who takes them to the ruins of Xerxes. Once there, they discover that Ross is still alive, and that
Mustang faked her death in order to draw out those responsible for Hughes' death. After the brief reunion, Ross decides to hide out in Xing with Fu, but promises to return if she is ever needed. After Ross' departure, Edward explores the ruins further and encounters a group of
Ishbalan refugees, who reveal that it was Scar who had killed Winry's parents during the lshbal civil war. Meanwhile, Barry's human body, which is now nothing more than a crazed animal, attacks
Falman and Barry back in Central. However, with the assistance of Jean Havoc, they manage to subdue Barry's human body. Hawkeye, also there with them, is then attacked by Gluttony. (Source:
