I APPROVE EDWARD X WINRY! ♥

I was literally screaming that I wanted Winry to leave when that phone call for her came. And when she was sticking her head out of the train, I really hoped she would get her head clean sliced off for doing such a dangerous thing. That 'I'm in love with him' moment just killed this anime a little for me. I hate Winry and honestly Ed is a pretty shitty protagonist too.

What a great episode. There were so many good things I won't remember to mention them all.

My favourite was Lan Fan's sacrifice. It actually give me a half second of shock. Before this, I thought she was whatever and expendable. Way to go, girl.

And then there was Ling shirtless being all capable and badass. The line "The next time I make you cry, it'll be tears of joy" which was made better by the fact he didn't even realize what he was implying. Winry falling in love quietly (that being said, I was glad she was leaving). Them arguing over the stone. List goes on and on

I'm surprised that King Bradley was outed this early into the anime, there's still 41 episodes left. Good episode though. Gluttony is about to go into rage mode, should be a tough fight.

Even in this episode plenty of reasons not to settle its virtues, there are many interesting revelations and as icing on the cake a nice twist unexpected. Good little digression on Winry, too bad that the drawings have fluctuated talking about quality.

That was an intense episode.

Poor Lan Fan :(

Now they know that Bradley is an homunculus. But at the same time Bradley knows that Mustang planed something. Even that they handle it to catch Gluttony he break out with his absolute crazy form O.o

Oh man finally Winry realised that she loves Ed <3

Thank god Ling finally told the crew that Bradley is a homonculus aswell ... I thought the show was going to make it so he'll die before being able to tell them.

So Gluttony can open the "truth" that the brothers were searching, interesting.

Well, Ling's girl cut off her arm, damn.
The president is onto Mustang and vise-versa.
Plus what the hell is that eye mouth thing that gluttony opens in the end??...

Winry finds out that she's in love with Ed. happy for her that she realised that everyone's waiting for her for automail. At least she can feel that she's helping the people just like the way her parents did.

Winry is falling for Ed, everything is right with the world!
Ling and Ran have finally come into their own. I thought they were just comic reliefs, they are actually well defined.
Looks like they are going to have to put Gluttony down too.

But whatever WinryxEd is my fuel!

Haha, I expected Ling to be quite well trained and skilled in combat, but surely he went wild in this episode!

He showed himself not only as professional blademaster (fighting nip and tuck with Wrath and dragging wounded companion at the same time proved it), but also as somebody capable of having good ideas in undriendly, hostile environment, without loosing ability to rational thinking) and as somebody who can really prepare a fast trap. The last one goes for attacking out of nowhere Gluttony. That grenade scene and what Ling did after was utterly epic! :D

Too bad Ran Fan lost her hand, but she cooperated well with Ling. Half of the merit for this trick that tricked (lol) Wrath goes to her.

Aaand one more thing... that feel when Scar was saved by a little girl and her pet little panda. ;D

Ling was awesome, taking care of Gluttony in such a quick and flashy way by tying up the fat bastard just like stringed ham. Ran Fan was just as great as well, sacrificing her unusable arm to outsmart Bradley and make a clean escape. He might've been tricked once but it didn't bite the bait twice and quickly saw through Hawkeye's disguise.

Mei Chang's remote alchemy skills were so satisfying to watch, with my favorite part of the technique being the part where she quickly drew a transmutation circle with her feet.

The Coroner's a good guy but he's really unlucky to be in the same room as Gluttony because he went berserk the moment he found out that Lust's killer is right in front of him.

Lan Fan using the Ed tactic and sacrificing her arm which was already fucked, to trick King Bradley with misdirection was pretty badass. Atleast knowing how Ed is able to fight and protect with his automail arm and leg, Lan Fan should be okay in the long run too.

Also Winry went back to Rush Valley to help the customers who relied on her quality automail to survive. She has the ability to still help so instead of being depressed forever, nice seeing her return there for the time being. Also, bonus for her realizing that she is falling for Edward too given what all he's done to help her when she was lost and nearly committed sin with pulling the trigger + a lot of other things in the past.

Finally they get Winry out of the plot, she annoyed the shit out of me and had no purpose in getting so much screentime

It's really bothering me the fact that the homunculi are letting Mustang and the gang get away with all these plots, I mean, don't they think for themselves even a little? They have complete control over the entire military and it's because they're being stupid and stubborn is the only reason why they could even be considered on equal footing strategically. Hell, they even have one of their allies and it's like they have no idea that he's obviously gonna slip up vital info about their plans. The story better have a seriously good and clear reason as to why they're so ignorant other than "they just bad"

The unbridled hatred of Winry in these FMAB threads always cracks me up, like how Gluttony was hated in the original series.

Pretty good episode
Followed the manga mostly .
removed two or three things I wished they would have added , but oh well.
Either way , this was mostly a " how and why " episode.
Showed why and how the brother came to be how they are.
with Ed seeing the Truth .
then Roy meeting the brothers
Ed vowing to take 1 year to recover and him consequently being able to transmute without Circles thanks to him having seen "IT" ( and Al not remembering).
And finally Ed's Exam to become a state alchemist , where he promtly attacked Bradly who told him he still doesn't know the world xD.
Thus showing how the fuhrur gave Ed an "ironic" name : the FullMetal Alchemist.

Next week , they goin' to Liore/Reole ~

oh , and the score was pretty darn awesome. Akira Senju delivers !!

Cutting off her injured arm and tying it to a poor dog to leave a fake blood trail, using the railroad tracks and turning them into metal wires to contain gluttony, who is almost single-handedly subdued by ling. This episode was so cool; and so bittersweet, with Winry leaving simply to return to rush valley where people who need her help are waiting for her. I don't remember if it'll be awhile or not until we see Winry again. Makes it feel like a final episode; if this were divided into seasons, this would feel like a good place to end the first season, even with that cliffhanger, where there's a 3-way argument as to who deserves and gets to have the philosopher's stone inside gluttony. But none of that matters because gluttony gets a power-up and bursts out of his restraints. And said power-up comes from gluttony seeing mustang and remembering how it was he who killed lust, and then gets angry enough to break his railroad-track constraints. Speaking of lust, it was an awesome scene as mustang totally obliterated her, but idk I kind of liked her. I wish she didn't die so soon, and maybe was one of the last homunculi to die instead of being like the first. Now if I remember correctly, in the next episode (or even more), we spend a lot of time in gluttony's belly, as he consumes some or all of them. During this time, I think they realize what they're really dealing with, and come up with a fair way to deal with the philosopher's stone, and to see who should get it. I forgot how good this series was man. Every episode something significant is happening. There's over 60 episodes, with no room for filler. Exceptional.

This was a great episode, Winry finally admitted to herself that she is in fact in love with Ed which I am all for in that regard. Ling was just awesome in this episode he manages to escape Bradley’s clutches, rescues his servant who essentially cut off her own arm in order to fool Bradley which I thought was pretty hardcore of her. And Gluttony got captured now and now the gang know that Bradley is in fact one of the homunculi.
And yeah the stuff with Gluttony was pretty terrifying, he’s gonna really have it in for Mustang next episode cuz he WAS the one who killed Lust so yeah he’s justifiably pissed off with him there. I honestly forgot that Mei Chang was a thing until she came and saved Scar in this episode but good to know she can kick some serious ass there. Also Al wanting to keep her panda was funny and adorable at the same time. XD 
God I really want to know what Bradley and Winry were talking about when Ed arrives to see the latter. Hopefully not anything bad I really hope not.
