| Since I watched FMA from 5th to 20th episode in only few days, I can't really tell the difference between episodes, but now, when they stepped out of original FMA anime, it's beginning to get good. It's not that I'm having deja vu moments from the old anime, it's simply that untill episode 17 or something like that, it looked to me like they were rushing through anime, wanting to get out of the first FMA anime. Nina arc, was, for example, done way too fast, and didn't show enough emotions. I love their humoristic scenes, when they have simple style of drawing (what's it called again?), but they were using it in wrong places. While original FMA was very very emotional, FMA:B lacks emotions and think only about good animation with the highest quality possible. Luckly, that's changed from Hughes's death. That episode with Winry telling Ed about the cookies she made almost made me cry (which is rare for me), and, since then, I think anime started going at good pace. So, I thinik this episode was good =] |
| Nice episode, even though I missed the haircut joke :( |
| Yay!!! Now I'm beginning to like FMA maybe more then Bleach. I can't wait to see the next episode. :D |

| Baww no hair jokes. Not even "You're the shortest state alchemist." :c But at least Hohenhiem sounds good. |

| Amazing episode if I do say so myself. Ed's Kira laugh was a bit creepy but still, the emotion portrayed is strong. I'm getting rather tired of some people complaining about the Xingese. Of course they'll get to them but now that FMA: Brotherhood is starting to steer onto the manga flow and getting away from the first season, it has to deal with Ed and Al first. |

Fai said: Ling!. On this week of "lets cut out the XIng character development"... Dig-up scene. Done. Brilliantly. This. (most of the time you just read my mind, you know? xP) There's no such thing as too much Ling. (ohcrap it rhymed and in such a cheesy way D: DO NOT WANT) Sadly, I've observed a phenomenon called 'too little Ling'. Here's to hoping that they'll show some Ling badassery next episode. Hohopapa! his voice is a little...monotonous. But not bad :D And as always, light forming 'tears' on Al's armor made me sniff. |

| http://sarcasmpodcast.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=519241 My review of this episode sorry it was a bit late Umineko and anime cons got in the way. |
| Check out my podcast here |
| I was under the impression that in Anime the story is streched unnecessarily when compared to the manga by adding fillers (eg: Naruto,Bleach,Inuyasha etc.), but here they have cut short many of the good scenes. The result is that the scenes lose the hihgly emotional feeling that they had in the manga also the detais regarding the characters and their feelings. |
| i just found out that the voice of ling voices riku in the japanese version of kingdom hearts xD i find that epicly awesome for some reason lol |
| The pace is being kept pretty well, that's what is the specialty of this show i guess |
 |
| when is the next ep supposed to come out? |
| "...our faces marked by toil, by deceptions, by success, by love; our weary eyes looking still, looking always, looking anxiously for something out of life, that while it is expected is already gone – has passed unseen, in a sigh, in a flash – together with the youth, with the strength, with the romance of illusions.” - Joseph Conrad ('Youth') |
| hm, tomorrow ? |

| This is one of my favorite anime, lots of questions were answered. Looking forward to how all of this will end. |
adamantine said: I really liked this realization by Edward and finally by Curtis. Give them hope that Al's body wasn't destroyed. This would explain the comments in chapter 100 of the manga about opening the gate.- So, they finally realize the truth about the Human transmutation. And more about Al's situation. |
| What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about? |
| Hohenheim look lots crueler than he was in the 1st season. creeps me out. |
 |
| Awesome episode, I can't wait to see the terrible thing that will happen to the country that the father was talking about! |
 |
| I laughed at Winry's last line. I actually want them to form some kind of closer relationship. I don't even remember if that had happened in the first FMA. (Geez, I love romance in anime too much lol). |
| I was expecting a more action centered episode. But still it was an ok episode. I wonder if Windry is barely going through puberty. LOL |
| Epic episode!! As a Anime-only watcher, it's awesome to see the real story unfold. With every episode it just confirms that I'll be reading the manga. I'm gonna wait to see if viz releases the Viz Big Editions for this series, b/c they are awesome, and I would love to see FMA in those. Urahara Out!! |
 |
| Edward digging up the grave and discovering that it wasn't his mother was SO sad... |
 |
| pretty good episode :) |
 |
| Okay now I amreally confused. I thought at first that I understood what was going on. After seeing this episode, I got confused and totally lost, lol. All I understood was Al and Ed's confidence really boosted up after they found out that inofrmation, which I didn't understand, lol. Okay so that thing wasn't their mom. Isn't that normal though since they were noobs that time and they didn't know what they were doing so it is possible to create something that is really totally random. I don't get what's the big deal of this hair color and size of bones. Also, Hohenheim sure is a strange person. From the way he talked before he left the house, I'm pretty sure he's the guy that created those homonculus, although I can be wrong though. |
| - God, Edward's father turns out totally opposite of what he looks, that sick bastard. Well even if it's the truth, he didn't need to go all like bluntly saying so.. - And he goes on with the rant about the human transmutation, that's another cruel thing. Just to think of it..it was all for nothing? - And those nightmares...thats horrible. - My suspections are true, this man is SURELY suspicious. - They..ended up transmutating something completely far away from their mother...?! Everything went to waste? Alphonse losing his soul, Edward losing his leg and arm, all gone to waste? I don't really want to accept that, makes me wonder why a series of bad things keep happening to them! - In general, this was yet another a great episode. /Rants on |
| Things are starting to look up, or so it would seem. |
 |
| that was great episode again 5/5 from me |
| the atmosphere felt really heavy and with great logic that they demonstrated well |

adamantine said: THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- - Though Ed did channel Light quite a bit once he started laughing. I thought the exact some thing lol! |
| Whoah, Hohenheim sure scolded Ed good. Things are going bad as it seems, but at least the story is getting better. It's all good as long as they keep chineses out of the way. |

Dusk252 said: Ed's determination truly is great. At least his father gave him some important info and actually helped him move forward (though in an indirect, harsh way). Now I'm pretty sure "Father" isn't Hohenheim as I first thought. Though I'm really interested in knowing what kind of promise he made with Trisha. He doesn't seem to be as bad as Edward thinks. The thing they transmuted isn't their mother. Then, why did they lose so much? (You know, equivalent exchange...) Since trasmutting something similar to a human body doesn't seem to require much (Roy did that to stage Ross's death), what was the thing they transmutted? And just how does Ed plan to reach the Truth again and "kick his ass" to get Al's body back? That scene right before the ED was pretty sweet<3 Winry seems to be starting to notice she feels something else about Edward^^ (Oh, and the "I won't marry a guy who's shorter than me!" cracked me up xD Drink your milk, Ed!) Sent with Mal Updater He affixed Al's soul into that 'thing'. |

porkypink said: Shancakeschan said: this should be common sense but.....they cant take something out of the gate that was never there in the first place(example: ed and al's mom and izumi's baby)...as ed said to al in the manga(this got cut out so its not a spoiler) "i was wrong al, that night you were "taken" you didnt "die" so your body can be taken back" omg I nvr thought about tht !! lol tht is so true. The gate takes body parts from the alchemists who opens it so since those ppl died naturally they cant be in the gate... its not spoilering at all.. Remember people, alchemistry can not create something from nothing. The door of truth is not like Doraemon's handy dandy pocket. Oooooooh, it all makes sense now. I was so confused, but your explanations makes a lot more sense now. |
| Quite an awesome story event in this episode we see the father from edward where in the original al was also with ed but seems now he was alone but what was even more interesting and actually relieving that wasn't mentioned in the original FMA was that the thing they made with the human transmutation wasn't actually their mother so that's something nice to the story, I do wonder if than the homunculus from the mother will appear but I doubt that maybe the origin of the homunculus will be totally different either way awesome turn in events and great story development up to the next episode can't stop watching this :D |
