So I guess Hofenheim is not their "Father" it really is some mysterious guy, the animation was brilliant, it was so good.


Like you couldn't guess from previous hints and some not so subtle ones (such as the new op)?

Good episode. Hope things continue like this for a while. And no more Ling makes me sad. :( At least Greed is back.

Pretty good episode really..
Ling transformation as Greed was handled fairly...
Poor May Chang..her dream was crushed :(
Father is damn strong...he can nullify alchemist with no guts
I don't think that Ling is gone forever...maybe he's waiting opportunity to reclaim his body
Waiting for the next episode... ^_^

L-L-Ling! D:
I was seriously like this the entire episode -> O.o
Not exaggerating. Oh, and I do believe, "Holy sh**" slipped out a few times, too.
In other words, awesome episode. :D This episode definitely made up for last week's.

Wah, I want Ling back. I miss him and his old voice.

Can't wait for the coming episodes though. Reading the manga makes me want to see how the show does it even more.

badass ep!!!

Ling "Don't interfere!" .. it's rly sad 2 say goodbye for ling T_T .. n Ling/Greed with greed's voice didn't rly sound right 2 me ((guess we'll have to get used 2 it laterz on)) *yea, my guess from last ep was correct in this .. Ling became a Humonculus >_>*

Hope Ling would be able to make a comeback again ... or I meant 2 say .. Bring MY REAL LING BACK!! >_<"

the Humonculi's Father was powerful like hell ...

n Ed u shouldn't break the heart of a lil' girl, midget xDD (that was one of the funny moments in this ep n May's vision was like, rofl!!)


5/5 ep!

n looking forward to more~

Ed and Al going to Wrath (a.k.a: Fuhrer President King Bradley) .. that's gonna be something ...

n the after ed song, "No worries, my son. I'll recreate u. with ur memories, of course."

seems like we'll be getting a lot of badass eps soon (if) it didn't start already from this ep =)

Fck yeah! Just when you think it can't possibly get any better :D; I'm sad to see Ling go but I'm pretty sure he lurking inside there somewhere. He's my favorite character in Brotherhood. Also when Ed mentioned Lan Fan, there was this moment and this new Greed showed some of Ling's mannerisms. Greed is welcome back anytime though. He was my favorite character in the first anime. So I'm kinda confused about this situation.

It was cute to see Shao May trying to protect May Chang fom Gluttony :P :P
...and Chang's response on seeing Edward lol

I also hoped they'd show what's going on with Hawkeye and Mustang and the others. I guess we'll see that next week maybe.

I'm curious if I'm the only one who thinks Father showed an expression when he said he'll recreate Gluttony. He said son didn't he? Maybe I'm just speculating too much but we'll see.

Overall, I loved the action. This was an explosive comeback after the recap episode. I guess that's one reason why I liked this episode so much. The next one looks like it will be a quiet one. Last thing, the way they showed Ed/Ling/Envy come out of Gluttony was awesome and so was Ling's transformation into Greed.

Oh hey, are we missing Sloth?

10/10; Brilliant episode this one.


*EDIT: Was Scar really talking about the Elrics when he said they're working with the Homunculi? Wasn't that kinda stupid seeing as how Ed/Al were practically being crushed under Envy's hands... paws...

He said that they *weren't* working with the homunculi - he'd thought they might be when he saw them together in the alleyway last episode (er, the one before the recap), but seeing them pinned down by Envy made him realize he was wrong.

YES. Greedling! I didn't think they'd give him a new voice, but it's fine,

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.

^ 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.

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.

chaps 54-55ish, todays ep should wrap up volume 14.....and the manga is currently at volume 24 so still a lot of epic moments and sad moments to cover :)
