Is it just me, or is this show's rating getting higher every episode? xD

That's because the anime is getting better and better every episode. xD

Well, at least that's what I think.

Shit!!!! It's just getting better and better!!! It's been a while, FMA really kills me with the story. I never really fall so deeply with an anime.

I grew to like Ling more and more!

Ah okay that does change things :P

He's been created like a sloth too, physically I mean. Long big powerful arms. So that's the new girl in the op. Does she tear off her top too? That'd be grand xD;

As much as I'm enjoying the story progression, I hope they balance out the number of chars on each side again (good side / bad side). Tired of DGrayMan and Bleach- type stories that have an overwhelming number of characters on one side over the other that just throws reason out the window.
(in both cases, the one side could just gang up on the other side and end the story, which always bothers me when they start a 1v1 or something)

EDIT: To clarify, just in case, Bleach has too many good guys, DGray-Man has too many bad guys.

Well in this case..the bad guys are so ridiculously over powered that the good guys need a ton of 'em..most cannon fodder..

^ Ya. I think the bad guys in this are just so overwhelmingly powerful that even if all the good guys ganged up on them now, it wouldn't matter. Father alone would be sufficient. Plus, while the baddies seem to know everything and how it works and they can use it to their advantage and they've been working together for a long time and have established a lot of sources/infrastructure etc., the good guys are (is?) just a bunch of disparate people thrown together in a situation.

Hence the need to balance the equation with a lot of good people.

The only episode out of the newly animated manga content so far that I would say was great. Been a long time since I read the manga, but I'm sure there wasn't as many typical "ED IS SO SMALL!" jokes during this scene, the only one I'm sure about is May Chang's.

I finished the volume featuring this chapter a few days ago and they animated every bit. And there were quite a few "ED IS SO SMALL!" jokes in that scene. Ed was letting Envy think he was attacking him for that remark but went for Father instead.

Awesome episode. :D

I thought Mei's image of Ed was the same as reality!... Only real Ed is slightly shorter and doesn't sparkle as much. XD

I like Greed, but I liked Ling too... Hearing Greed's voice in Ling's body is pretty weird though.

I was hoping that the Father guy wouldn't recreate Gluttony... sigh.

Very good episode indeed. A lot of cool battles and omg! Greed is back. Also, poor Mei... XD

Really following the manga well, though I wish they would try not to ruin the serious atmosphere with gags so often.


I agree, hate when they try to make fun out of serious scenes. :/


That's how the MANGA is. Epic episode, can't wait for the next one. :D

This episode took place in chapters 54 and 55; and you mean manga as in manga or as in anime catching up to manga's end? Manga's nearly through if so; it's at chapter 100, and Arakawa said she wouldn't go many chapters after 100. Anime's nowhere near close to that point though.

And Greedling has finally appeared! However, I already miss Miyano's voice. The different voice was kind of creepy.

Mei's vision of Edward was like Jack in Pandora Hearts, xD.


Greedling! LOL XD! That Made Me Laugh! None The Less It's A 5/5 Episode! =D! Can't Wait For Ep. 29!

sigh, poor Ling. Somehow I feel that he didn't get what he asked for.
But it is good to know, he is still in there.
It's like a demon possession......
Remember this old adage. Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.

Ling wanted power, he got it. To bad the Ling personality became overridden with the Greed personality. I will miss Ling. It would have been interesting to see Ling with Greed's powers. This would have messed things up for Father.

so father has that kind of power, the ability to heal, nullify alchemy, and even make philosopher stones from his body, this guy is extremely powerful! not even scar can hurt him!

Wow another unbeliavable episode. As usual, it didn't fail to impress me. So Greed is back now huh? I wonder if Ling will still be able to control his body. I think that last punch of Edward and at the same time saying the word Ran Fan woke up his old self. I might be wrong though.

Okay so I don't know what to say about this father guy. Apparently he is not Hohenheim and he knows Hohenheim like they're really close friends, lol. He's also freaking mafuking strong. Heck he tanked that attack from Scar like it was nothing. Also, he can make a field where noone can use alchemy but just himself. How the fuck can anyone beat that guy? Wow

Anyways, it was a great episode. That father guy produces philosopher's stone like it was an easy job to do. Who is he? That guy is gotta be the most interesting thing next to the truth guy.

Very impressive! I didn't expect Ling to be as weak as to give his body so easily.

So...that 'father' is NOT Hohenheim yet he looks like Hohenheim. He claims he knows Hohenheim, but it makes me wonder why is he so awfully similar to Hohenheim...How can he use Alchemy.

Apparently that makes Hohenheim innocent of my accusation that he's evil.

Now I just noticed, I used the name 'Hohenheim' alot here.

Next episode seems interesting!

And the whole "alchemy doesn't work" and Scar blows Gluttony up. Love it.

I'm also guilty of this.

- Liked the new Greedling, but I'm really missing Miyano's voice. Come back, Ling~. ;__;
- May Chang's expectations for Ed was lol. So sad for her, though. XD;

When will Ed tell Al that he saw Al's body?
