Awesome episode.

And I've heard that some people think FMA:B is much more childish and children-friendly. I really disagree. If I had watched this episode when I was like 10 I would have freaking crapped in my pants. (Well maybe not literally.)

I actually cried at the end of this episode because of the whole thing between Edward and Al's body...Wow...Al looks sooo much different then I thought he would. I can't wait to see the next episode. ^_^

Fabulous episode. Just awesome. The ending was fantastic. Seeing Ed so determined is pretty cool.

But augh... Al's gonna need to eat a few year's worth of food when he gets his body back, if that's what it looks like.

that was an epic last scene :D it was great to see ed's determination and poor alphonse he is so anorexic xD but i guess you'd be if your body wasn't getting anything xD
the fight scene with ed and Ling vs Envy was awesome and it was pretty interesting to see May chang take down some huge chimeras :D
also it was interesting finding out why scar keeps May chang with him and how they can relate to each other :)
awesome episode :)

LOL EDWARD AND HIS BADASS LOOKING FACE IN THE END, OH HOW I LOVED THAT LOOK FROM HIS EYES. HE WAS LIKE "I'LL BRING YOU BACK NO MATTER WHAT BITCH." to the grown up Alphonse. <3

Okay so Bradley's past sure was interesting. So he was a human in the beginning but turned into a homonculus after the father and his minion scientists performed the test on him. Really interesting to see that. So, I'm guessing Pride is also like that? WHO'S PRIDE ANYWAYS?!

Damn now I'm really curious to see this father guy. Is it really Holhenheim or not? I'm also curious to see if Ling, Envy, and Ed will make it out of the gate alive.

Bradley's past. That's rather amusing, I expected he was once human though but I never thought he had to go through that shit.

This also confirms that the 'father' is Holhenheim since he used philosopher stones and experimented it on people so obviously. This guy is Holhenheim!
The preview proves me wrong though, does he have some sort of split personality?
Well, I'm sure he's not a good guy.

The ending of this episode was sure wonderful, makes me wonder why there are two doors? I wonder if each soul has a 'door' of it's own. God, Alphonse looked so pale and..thin. He was nearly skin and bones! They should hurry! Al's body doesn't seem in a good state!

The preview seems interesting as well..

I usually try to stay away from these discussions, even though i love posting here to talk bout the series. There is just way to many spoilers, manga readers just can't learn how to keep there spoilers to them selfs, people if you even place spoiler tags, its like having a big neon sign that says "click me" any one is going to click it cause the curiosity gets the best of them. So please please PLEASE! Do not discuss material that is further then the current episode. Ok now that i got that rant out of the way.

My question, is i really don't understand what this gate of truth is? I'm just very confused bout everything that has happen in this episode. That might possibly be because it hasn't been explained yet? I don't know. But if you guys can kind of summarize all of what just happen in this episode so it makes sense, that would be helpful, mostly the part where ed talks about all that mumbo jumbo at the end and then decomposing him self to enter the door of the truth and see Al's brother's body there. Also how did ED use envy to trasmutate him self out of Gluttony.

I really do like this series though, can't wait for the next season, i believe this is where the dubs on cartoon network ended.

Well having watched that many dubbed episodes I can understand if you want to continue watching the dubs but I switched to subs early in the anime (watched the original series dubbed first) and I must say that I enjoyed it just as much. ^^

Watched FMA: Brotherhood 1-26 in two 13 episode sessions over the last couple of days - re-watching the first ten episodes. Now, I'm waiting for the third set to be released.

The first set covered the manga content from the first anime. The second dealt with the arrival of the Chinese. Only the last 2.5 episodes provided me with truly new content - me having read/on-holded the manga awhile back.

I wasn't irked by the Chinese characters getting thrown into the mix this time around, and even the epic battles struck me as being meaningful - me having previously viewed them as a touch pointless since not a lot was resolved. Ling's ranking in the league of badarse characters who enter serious business mode only when they open their eyes is high.

The 'Truth' business is getting a lil' confusing: Ed opening portals within portals by transmuting then reforming himself, or something... and Al's body patiently waiting at the white void of Truth. To me, it seems like the mangaka is making an effort to make everything seem logical when, really, it's all a bit too convenient - needing to be for the eventual happy ending.

Envy's dinosaur CG form is a bit lame. And if there's no EdXWinry and RoyxRiza by the end, I'll rage 'cause the first anime already dropped the ball in terms of romance.
