YES RAVEN GETTING SLICED WAS AS EPIC AS I HOPED IT WOULD BE. I've been waiting for that scene since Brotherhood was announced.

Yes! They showed one of Roy's "dates." And the flower stand! :D

Armstrong was just great dealing with Raven, now Kimbley is the main antagonist for some weeks, cruel how they always threat the Elrics with Winry.

The information exchanges around Mustang is fantastic, I hope there will be more of it soon :)

Olivier simply deals with things the right way.
Raven always touching her should have seen that coming.

Even if i didn't know the manga i would think that taking the hostage to the Elric brothers was no clever move. A hostage is worth more if she is not in the vicinity of those you are blackmailing.

What an awesome episode <3
I don't really know what to say. Everyone was just great - I've officially fallen in love with Olivier, Kimbley is as sadistic and cunning as ever, and the Elric brothers were...well, they were all right, but they had to take a bit of a back seat this week, it seemed ^^; Roy at the end was a nice treat, too, and the Hohenheim bit at the beginning was quite bittersweet. Plot-wise, I think it's moving along very well and we got to see some really good developments in this episodes.

Awesome? Not really imho, you people have too low standards ;)

Anyway I quite liked the flashback with the Elric brothers father, shows a more emotional side too him and reveals why he did leave his family (to gain a human body)
And the very first minute with him jamming his fingers in his chest and plays with what looks like a bit of blood magic was quite cool :p

Olivier slicing down Raven and had him buried alive in concrete, talk about a nasty death, especially when you begin to suffocate and involuntary tries to breathe due to the bodys reflexes and instead start to swallow the stuff.
Poor Sloth had to go back to his digging and we got to see a bit of Pride action, can't wit to see more of him in the next ep.

So hmm yeah, if you compare this to the fairly uneventful previous episodes maybe you could says that this was awesome =P

Oh Raven. So close to getting what you wanted only to be sliced nearly in half and buried in concrete. Very fitting end IMO. Olivier is awesome.

Still, looks like Bradley has all the bases covered and even had some insurance brought up north just for Ed and Al.

Roy can't say no to a woman with good intel it seems. The background on Hohenheim was very interesting to say the least.

Yes, the episode was pretty awesome.

Interesting plot, the dealing with Raven was rather fast but in the right way. Olivier is really doing thing at her own pace, fast and quick. Now that everyone, both side, is aware of each other, wonder how are they going to do this. I am not sure how Elric's dad is going to play in this, maybe he is going to save the day at the end.

Incredible episode... Olivier is just such a Badass b*tch xP

Poor Raven though, noone deserves that :S
Kimblee is just getting more and more awesome. And now Winry is there too, can't wait for next week... or should I go and read the manga??? From what chapter should I start to read?

One hell of an epic scene. I loved when she just stabs him in the arm. That made me lol for real.

The story is progressing pretty quickly. I haven't read the manga, from what I see on the some of the video comments, things should be getting good really soon.

Pretty good episode. Even though I don't care for Olivier, it was pretty hard of her to kill Raven like that. I'm guessing Bradley is just going to go ahead with the destruction, since he seems to have seen this coming. Now with Winry at Briggs, there's no telling how Ed and Al will be manipulated. I almost thought Kimblee was just going to snap and kill Miles, so I'm glad that's not the case.

^This xD.

That first scene, I found it as strange as I found it in the manga O.o But it wasn't really that strange when more was revealed though : p
Oh and Ed's face when he's put in Hohenheim's arms, I'm sure it's pretty much the same face as Hohenheim himself has in that situation xD
Also, Hohenheim doesn't really have high thoughts about himself, huh? ^^


Ah wonderful, I was waiting for him to show up ^^
In my opinion, his appearance made a better impact than in the manga : D

Also, Miles' stalling of Kimblee wasn't as elaborate as in the manga either, it was rather.. plain and obvious actually O.o
But well, Raven's demise was as epic as I was hoping : D

Hoho, they have a visitor hostage ^^;

And Roy didn't but nearly as many flowers as he should've xD.
And.. Roy O.O BAAAWWW

Being burried in concrete must be a really terrible death, but I guess he deserved it.
Winry should really have stayed in Rush Valley, she'll only make things more complicated for Ed and Al.

I'd say start somewhere at around chapter 69, there you have this episode, and some more, ending a little later than this episode.

Freaking awesome episode. This anime is just so freaking awesome.

Raven went down so easily, go Olivier! The tentacle spear thingies was really weird.

Roy's last line was the best, "I'll be buying all of those flowers." with a serious, cunning face.

Well no kidding, it was a freaking doublepage.

An anime stuck with the 19:6 screensize cannot really compete with the impact that sudden change of panelsize has.

i'd have said start at the beginning cuz there's a lot that wasn't shown and if you're addicted to the manga as much as me you'd catch up to the show in a few days lol

Nice episode, where Raven got sliced by Amrstrong was badass. That was great, I love her character, if only we could know more about her background. What the hell is Winry doing here, man I want to know. The Fuhrer is up to something, most probably using Winry as collateral with regards to what he wants Ed and Al to do.

Hmm the name for the episode was a bit misleading taking into account the family portrait scenes were only a pre-opening introduction. Well, the developments after that were interesting to say the least so I'm not really complaining. A good setup episode for bigger things to come it seems.

I'm really loving Winry in this season compared to the first one.. I really hope nothing bad happens to her (sniff like Maes).

She's a strong character and is important!

But yeah, liking Armstrong's strong/stern personality.

Kimblee can burrrrrrrn.

I don't really see how she's any different than the first season. Since she's being used as point of manipulation for Ed and Al, she's more irritating here than the first series. She's the typical not-important-even-though-they-try-make-it-seem-so love-interest.
