In a fight with Scar vs. Kimblee, I would want Kimblee to win for he is a BAMF. Go epic train fight. :D

Olivier is pretty beastly, too. :)

Olivier!! <33333 I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE her, she is too cool. Miles and Buccaneer made their appearances too, can't wait to hear Miles. <3 I love the Briggs arc. Looks like a new homunculus will be making its appearance next episode as well. I don't remember it appearing so early...but maybe it did and I can't remember. Then Kimblee and Scar's fight was great. Gah, I love Kimblee too...

Finally Olivier makes her entrance ... the second hottest character of FMA after Riza Hawkeye ^_^ Them lips ... /drool

Oy!! I just don't know what order to go in. Riza, Winry and now Olivier. To many beautiful woman at once.

And that wall. It was awesome. It puts the Great Wall to shame in sheer size.
What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about?

OLIVIER *3*
I actually like yelped a little when she came on, no joke. I'm surprised my family didn't say anything...
But, yes, everything about the fine Major General was perfect. Love, love, love her voice.
My girlcrush. It is even larger now.
...If that's possible.

The Scar/Kimblee stuff was great, too. And Buccaneer! Not quite how I imagined his voice, but it fits. Can't wait til we hear Miles!
And of course, we see a certain Homunculus next week. Quite excited about that. He's my favorite after Greed(ling).

Armstrong's original sister, the smallish one that Falman supposedly met, is still in the manga! The anime just took her out, since her role is like ... erm, random passerby. You'll still see her in the anime soon though!

I wonder why Ed couldn't use alchemy against the guy's arm, when he had just made the blade on his automail.

i wonder why too.

Remember how Scar couldn't de-transmute Ed's arm at first, because he didn't know it was made of steel? For transmutation to work, you must first understand it's composition.

Snap, too bad, I would've preferred if she stayed out of it D:
Oh well, that's what I get for just watching the anime and not reading the manga I guess >.<

Kimblee vs Scar fight is nicely done. Even stabbed with metal rod,Kimblee make a brief remark of death & battle..so creepy yet psychotic. LOL with the snowman that Ed make..how can a skull be a snowman button XD. Notice that Ed feels pain in his automail,i suspect his automail not for cold condition & hardly he fight with Bucchaner (also alchemy doesn't work on the crocodile arm) with that conditions. Wow,Oliver is a cold & charismatic woman...judging that she control the toughest fortress in Amesteris. Love the comparision between a bear & rabbit,so funny. Overall very good episode & next ep we have Sloth!!

You need to remember that steel is a good conductor of both heat and cold (I don't know the exact composition of his steel...ASMT-6160??). Just like Ed felt the extreme heat on his automail-skin bonding the same thing was happened in the extreme cold.

And as someone stated before, Ed assumed that Crocodile was steel and he could use alchemy to change it. He found out that it didn't have any effect on it because he didn't know what it was made out of.

I liked this episode. The fight between Kimblee and Scar was great. It's going to be a better fight when they meet again. One I'm waiting for!!

Anyone who thought this was a bad or slow episode needs to quit watching the series because they have some serious entertainment issues that need professional help.

Actually I think that Izumi's "visit" predated Olivier's arrival there. Not sure, though.

So much snow! Like someone said, *goes to change pants*

A very refreshing change of scenery. After what seems like ages, we're finally at the Briggs.

When the moonlight shone in the compartment, showing Scar vs Kimbley, I laughed like a god-damned maniac. The fight, as many have noted, was epic. Just the anticipation of that fight was so much. It didn't disappoint but was way too short for me.

Didn't really feel Winry's appearance. That was kind of forced.

Ed and Al. Their encounter with Buccaneer was kind of stupid. It was ... stupid. But I guess they wanted to show how (suspicious and aggressive) you have to be if you're guarding these territories, something they carried on with Olivier, when she says that she doesn't need assessments done by other people, not even her own brother and then a full body search.

Olivier's entry could have been more bada** though. Her voice, among other things commands respect. That's one nail I think they hit right on the head. Yoko Soumi was the perfect choice.

Marcoh and May Chang get Scar's brother's notes. That's significant development.

One of things that bothered me over some of the last episodes was Sloth. Who is he? For a while when there was a thing going on about Hawkeye's tattoo, you guys made me think she was a homunculus. Then with Selim. I guess they'll be important some other way later on.

Overall, an above average episode but still it held back. A little short of that finish line.

No shit, Marcoh didn't look as hideous as I hope he'd be. Scar vs. Kimblee fight was shortlived. I would love to see an all-out battle between 'em. Kimblee in his white suit always reminds me of Ladd from Baccano, debonair yet bloodthirsty. Ed fighting that ginormous guy (what's his name again?) was fun to watch, especially him clinging onto his arm. Olivier seems pretty badass too. Fugly Sloth in the next ep... should be awesome.

Somewhat disappointing episode. On one hand, it was GREAT to see Olivier in animated form (LOVE those lips) but I'm not a fan of her voice. Can't quite place why, though. Also, the Kimblee/Scar fight was MUCH shorter than I remember it being...

Amazing ep!!

Scar vs. Kimblee fight was completely, no mistake EPIC!!

Kimblee continuing to hold his hat from flying away was kinda cool ^.^

Olivier Mira Armstrong's voice was quite a shock for me! (Well, even the personality was! She's nothing like Alex >.> Can't believe she's his sister! or rather she's too masculine, but at the same time she seems badass =) )

5/5 ep!

The preview talking about her was like wow! (But since that Buccaneer is under her command she must be pretty damn strong!)

liked the scene where Oliver was the bear and Ed was the rabbit, it was kinda funny =)

Can't wait for next ep~ (Another Humunculus is appearing xP)

Plus the timing's off, as Izumi hit Briggs -before- Major General Armstrong was stationed there.

oh yeah, finally Briggs! *---* gotta love that arc!

OLIVIEEEER <333 everyone's fav XD I liked her voice, really strong... A bit strange also, but I think we [and the seiyuu] need to get used to it... I also felt that way about Roy's voice at the beginning, but now I just love it and it fits perfectly ;3
Also, Olivier only had a few minutes to speak. I WANT MOAR! Can't wait!! *-*



ScarxKimblee fight was awesome. I can totally see my boyfriend squealing at his house after that scene XD he only started watching Brotherhood because of Kimblee. *-* I'm so glad I converted him!~ *FMA love <3*

Anyway... OH SHI-
Soon the anime will get to the part I'm reading in the manga D: I don't want that! But I also don't want to read it and right after watch the episode, or else I'll be like "oh, they didn't put this or that u.u" and I reaaaally don't want to be like that since I'm really enjoying FMA:B ._.~

Oh my, that Armstrong girl sure was a furious one. I wonder if she's an enemt or an ally but she's the sister of Major Armstrong so I'm 50% sure that she's going to be an ally.

Okay I wonder why that guy told Al that he's going to be alright because he's not wearing an automail. Regular automails don't work well in cold huh? Anyways the North sure is a very interesting place. I guess people there have betetr automails. I hope Ed and Al learn some new techniques there, lol.

About Scar and Kimblee, I was expecting to see some good ol' fighting but it seems to be that Kimblee is still rusty from that jail time he had. Tis going to be interesting to see.
