Loved it entirely. Except edwards head, which was kind of weird.. did they have to cut on the animation because of the opening fight? :P

Now that I think about it, it really feels like "24", like many different fronts happening at the same time that will all meld together at one point. There's tension in the air for sure. <3

WAHHH SO GOOD. This episode feels like it's leading into a time skip for next episode. From the preview, it looks like Ed and Winry are going to reunite!

I love how this series always hypes me up!! I can't wait to see where this is going to go!

I don't read the manga, but I agree this episode feels like the beginning of the end, or the last episode of a season.

Can anyone tell me if the manga is close to finishing? :o

The Armstrong family really is quite a unique bunch to say the least =P
But really Axel would have kicked Olivier's ass with easy due to his sheer mass and vastly superior strength.

And we finally get allot more of one of the better characters Greed/Lin =D
Great fight between him and Wrath, even though he technically "lost" :p

Yeah, loved this chapter, an awesome set up for the promised day :D
Also, Greed vs. Wrath was nice despite it's shortness. I can't wait to see their next fight which I've already read in manga, I'm it'll be hundred times more awesome :D

It's on the verge of ending. The manga already has 104 chapters and some people think there will be at least four more chapters to go before it ends.

The Greed vs Wrath scene was full of win! And I loved the ending with Mustang followed by the episode title.
The only thing I can complain about is that Ed looked a little off this episode. His head looked longer than usual. :\

Finally, Greedling Goodness x3 Excuse me while I'm in my bunk.
xD
Greed/Wrath was pure gold.

"If I'm gonna be king, why don't I become king of the whole world?" - and THIS is the only thing about which I hold Arakawa to her word. If Greedling is king, I can accept any kind of ending. And I mean any.

Also, it sounds so cool when theyoverlap the ED with the last scene. Especially when it's their epic message-sending. The Promised Day is near!
(I stopped believing Arakawa finishes the manga before they catch up with the anime. )

Totally loved that episode, a lot! Brilliant fight sequences, a lot of development and hilarity. It hit all the right notes I look for in FMA. Fair share of characters, equal military stuff with Ed (and Al stuff), good use of humour vs darkness. Terrific sequence at the end, really floored me. Loved it. Laughed at the random dog in Dublith. <3

Whenever they do this on a show, I much more likely to be impatient for the next episode. I love its use here.

The introducing fighting scene was fantastic and most developments were just great (seeing all the cast of the series thanks to Ed's message was a brilliant idea too). Well, this episode, as the last 10 or 15 ones, was extremely well executed. It's a pure pleasure to watch FMA's second season, especially when you have witnessed the wrong direction because of which the first one totally lost itself.

Olivia vs Alex Louis Armstrong was pretty cool. They totally wrecked the whole house. X'D

Greelin vs King Bradley was the shit! I loved how they showed the flashbacks during the fight. They really showed Greed's inner struggle very well.

Mustang getting the intel on the "Promised Day" reminded me of passing notes allong in class. :D

I really liked the last half of this episode. I'm sure I'm alone when I say I didn't really care for the fight scenes themselves, just what they meant for the characters. I also wonder if these people know what the Promised Day is. It felt like they all knew, but I don't understand why, unless it's some kind of holiday.

SO. FUCKING. GOOD.

Love Greedling. Love the Armstrongs and their epic-ness. Love the bit where Greedling teams up with Ed-tachi.
Fuck yeah, they did the information train SO WELL. Love it, love it, love it.
Lol @ Rebecca. And getting to see Havoc always makes me happy. ;)
Now we just have to wait like a million more eps to see his badass return. XP

SO FUCKING COOL!
That Greed and Bradley fight was simply amazing, oh my God. I feel like it was better drawn out here than in the manga itself. Of course, seeing awesome fights animated is always fucking epic. Of course seeing Olivier destroy was also awesome.

I adored the information scene, that was always a favorite of mine to read. Especially Grunman haha <3

Gah it didn't hit me until last week, but the anime is catching up FAST. Already in the 80s out of 104 released chapters. Of course the manga is coming to a close, but with only monthly chapters, the anime is surely going to catch up before the manga finishes. I think I heard about there being about 60 somewhat episodes before there was a break to allow the manga to finish up. At least, they better be taking a break and planning to finish animating the rest of the story. D:

From what I remember from the manga, they don't know exactly what's going to happen except that the homunculi are going to do something disastrous on that day. Thus they're all preparing to meet them head on. They all know something's going to happen on the Promise Day due to Hohenheim and Alphonse passing on the message. They passed it on to Mason, who then passed it on to Sig, who passed it on to Izumi, who passed it on to Briggs, then to Gramman, then to Roy and the guys in Central. Olivia and Greed already knew, so I assume Olivia passed on some information to Armstrong and Greed told Ed and the chimaeras about it. So ya, most of them have a good idea on what it is cause of that huge information chain.

Great beginning with Greed vs Wrath, hilarious fighting with Olivier and Alex (the house is pretty much wrecked now lol), and the message chain. I agree with the others in that this feels like its getting to the climax... And well, I don't want it to end, but at least I know it'll go out with a bang. :)
