I knew it, I fucking knew I recognized Selim's voice! Brittney Karbowski! Now I can't help but hear Yuri and Yamada whenever he talks though, haha. Selim is a cute character but that was a pretty awkward scene once Bradley arrived.

Well, to the North we go! Should be interesting what with the change of scenery and inevitable new characters. Also, Kimblee hunting down Scar should lead to a damn good fight.

I felt like this episode was totally unnecessary. There were just some runnings, and talkings, and other lame stuff.
They should've caught the train at the very beginning of the episode.

Increasingly engaging this new arc, although not yet begun, the presence of Armstrong in the narrative makes those moments always very funny, who knows how it will be an adventure in the far north.

Awesome episode. The conversation between Mustang and Grumman was genius, this old man is a badass :D

So the next meeting between most of the important people will be in the north. Curious who this other General Armstrong is. Scar and Kimblee will also meet each other next episode. This will be so interesting, can't wait to see that.

This kind of episode is what makes me hate the MC, the Elric brothers surely have weak will power, they just go full protagonist cliche when seeing king Bradley's family, they feel bad for his family and shit. You are not supposed to give pity for the person or his family who separate your friends and threatens your own family, noob.

Guess the Elric brother should learn from Emiya Kiritsugu, lol

Another boring episode in a boring series. I don't get why this series is rated so highly. Why can't this series be good like Naruto.

Episode seemed to be setting up a showdown in the north. A bit slow but that's fine since it has been nonstop forward momentum from episode 1

Mustang must've been really shocked to see his old friend in that kind of a disguise. ;D

About Selim, I have a feeling he will become important somehow in the next episodes.

The Elric Brothers' search for the elusive Xingian black and white cat is still on but they got a lead from Mustang to go North thanks to Granny Grummond's keen observation. Armstrong prompted them to stop by at his sister's to help them with the search. I wonder if she'll be as buff as Alex...

So it seems that the corruption mostly concentrates at just Central Headquarters, fortunately. They're still on the run and the MPs are getting fooled time and time again~

I really like how they are treating Kimblee as a character. Yes, he is a sociopath, but people forget that sociopaths are often charming and competent, which they have done properly for Kimblee, instead of making him some raving lunatic.
Every day you can read a book or watch some anime is a good day!

Its gonna be interesting to see how Selim will come back and what importance he will have as a character in the future episodes and story, Olivier looks very promising

Olivier's time in the spotlight is coming soon. Hyped to see her soon since she is up there for one of my favorite Fullmetal Alchemist characters alongside Roy, Riza, Ed and Winry.

We also see Ed and Al somehow end up meeting Selim Bradley and King Bradley's wife. The meeting wasn't too important but it is nice getting a bit more context and see a bit more on the Bradleys and their relationships with each other, to build on for the future.

This episode was very boring except for Scar scenes. But it looks like the next arc is going to be interesting.

not as bad as the last few, but because fucking nothing happened. This show's been pointlessly teasing Selim bradley for like 15 eps and it's become fucking obvious for people who haven't watched it that he's only getting screen time to serve an important purpose in the plot later

The series itself is really good. Beautiful storyline with exceptional pacing and choreography, the character writing is above and beyond in this ep as well. A lore Dump TBH

Officially halfway through this series and I'm still bored. I don't understand how this could be considered one of the greatest Anime of all time. I'm a hardcore shounen lover and on paper, this has everything I'm looking for, but the pacing is so awful I genuinely can't enjoy it or get invested.

Kinda convenient how the disguised general just happened to stumble across May and learning that she was heading north. Otherwise there seemed to have been nothing that he could have offered Mustang in terms of help. Anyway, that's what happened, and Major relays the information to Edward, who, NEEDS TO STOP SHOUTING OUT that they're heading NORTH!

We finally see the fuhrer's son, in the adequately titled episode "the fuhrer's son". And no spoilers, but the truth was indeed said when Bradley and his wife stated that Selim is indeed an adopted foster child from.... a relative.

Everyone's heading up north to Briggs, and from what I remember, sh*t does go down up there, and actually might've been my favourite part of FMAB.

This was a pretty good episode apparently Gruuman likes to disguise himself as a woman he had me fooled there though I suppose it’s one way to interact with Mustang without raising suspicion from the Furher. Good thing he has Armstrong to confer information about getting to the North. So that’s Selim eh? Looks like an innocent kid but looks can be deceiving from what I’ve gathered about him.

Speaking of King Bradley, I swear that scene with him and the family was pretty intense. God even when he’s pretending to be nice, he still sounds very cold. I really hope his family aren’t involved in any of this. Anyways we are once again heading for the north, baby!
