At this rate, we'll have to wait a year to see the ending as another movie! If they actually made a movie i'd be so disappointed. Here's how I'm thinking it will end. We are in the middle of chapter 97 as of this episode. Based on what I've heard people are saying that the manga will end at chapter 108 in June. 56- Rest of 97 and 98. 57- 99 and part of 100 58- Rest of 100 and 101 59- 102 and part of 103 60- Rest of 103 and 104 61- 105 and part of 106 62- Rest of 106 and 107 63- Possibly the rest of 107 and 108 They've been going at a pace of 1.5 chapters per episode and looking at what I put up there one of the episodes could just be 1 chapter. Also I haven't read the manga past where the anime is so I don't know how condensed the coming chapters are. Aside from that another epic episode and I can't wait for Greedling vs. Wrath rematch. the last 3 or 4 chapters have been between 50-70 pages they are usually around 40 lol |
| ^^^ thats my point exactly....u cant butcher 67 pages of epicness into less than an episode......i dont want it to happen...and i know im not the only one.....it would make huge sense if we get an hour special , or a feature film....but cramming up the last few chapters into less than a few episodes is beyond my belief....... bones might achieve it , but the ending will feel rushed....the epicness will be gone....u should know wat im talkin bout suigetsu |

Sabinlerose said: You only see his pants in that scene.I only have one question. Where the hell did the Fuhrer President lose his jacket. He was wearing his blue military uniform when he strolled by Al and the Kitty getting the car out of the Ditch. |

| I totaly expected Izumi to cough blood when she told Olivier to rest a bit because she was heavily wounded. XD |
     |
| How did Sloth die? Was he like too lazy and thought it was a hassle to continuously revive himself and fight them?? |
I checked episode 48. All the members of the Inner Circle are shown in the epilogue scene (Olivier has replaced Raven). I took some pictures. Starting from the right-hand side, here are the officers: Clemin Bearded General General who activated zombies Colonel who got eaten Father and Sloth (obviously) Gardner General who got smashed by Sloth UNKNOWN GENERAL Olivier This is the unknown general sitting next to Olivier:  He obviously did not die in the train explosion, since that's what they are talking about. So there is still one more General left. |
| I was very happy to see that muscle bonding XD It was totally epic XD |
neverless said: How did Sloth die? Was he like too lazy and thought it was a hassle to continuously revive himself and fight them?? Sounds like the right answer... I didn't think Sloth died THAT many times... this isn't like Roy flipping out and roasting Envy 20 times in 10 seconds, lol... |

| Hahaha~ Right when everyone is cheering for victory, King Bradley appears to reclaim his 'castle' ;) I love that part. And the preview looks so exciting~~~ Can't wait for Bradley's badassery and Greed reappearing <3 AICW said: Sloth probably didn't have many souls in his Philosopher's stone to begin with, considering he was underground digging a tunnel for a majority of his life.neverless said: How did Sloth die?

I didn't think Sloth died THAT many times... this isn't like Roy flipping out and roasting Envy 20 times in 10 seconds, lol... Or you could just factor in his laziness which results in him getting injured more often, when compared to the others, and losing spare souls quicker. |
 |
| And so... the most badass villain makes his grand entrance. "why should a king enter his castle from anywhere but the front gates?" Brace for epic overload next episode |

I doubt they would be any less epic than their manga counterpart and could be even better. If the anime stopped before the ending and said TOO BAD you just watched 63 episodes of FMA but we are just going to leave you in a cliffhanger and ull have to wait about a year before you can see the real ending would you be REALLY satisfied? Let's look at the facts. If the anime ended at episode 63, then if I was being really generous the anime could slow down extremely to like 1 chapter per episode (or around 3/4 but that could be only for the later chapters with 60 pages per chapter). That would leave only ~4-5 chapters for a movie. Taking into the action scenes that can be animated into very quick scenes, a movie would do 2 things. 1 the anime would run alot slower than it is now and would end in a cliffhanger. And 2 the movie with only ~4-5 chapters to work with would have to be loaded with filler or the fight scenes lengthened for it to work as a full length movie. With the schedule I posted earlier I really believe the anime could fit everything from the manga into it. True it may cram in some stuff IF the chapters are too long (If I go by my schedule of 1.5 chapters per episode then the anime would end at chapter 108.5 that .5 could take into account the extra pages per chapter in later chapters) but I would MUCH rather have an anime filled to the brim with epic storytelling than an anime that slows down near the end and a movie with extra scens added to fill up the time needed for a feature film. |

| Another solid episode!.. While watching Armstrong's one second Ishbal Flashback, I started wondering... Why not make a FMAB Ishbal ova or have a hour special about it sometime in the future.. I know it sounds kinda dumb, but I mean, just to see it animated would be amazing... And to fully explain some of the background on some of these characters would set some things right with many of the watchers.. Example: - Why Mustang is such a legend (though, the owning of lust and envy was pretty sweet in this series) - An in-depth view of Kimblee's evilness - Scar's badass brother, & more detailed reasoning to why scar became a spaz - and a lot more! I'm asking for too much I guess.. =( Oh well! Let the badassness of this series continue =) |
| It's safe to say that the good guys' winning streak is about to come to a screeching halt. With Bradley's return, Mustang's rebellion is in extreme danger of completely collapsing now. This was why I was so concerned in episode 53. As I noted in that topic, the citizens of Amestris (or at least, of Central City) are extremely supportive of King Bradley. The only reason they began to side with Mustang was because of his lies that the military's Inner Circle was rebelling against Bradley and not the other way around. Once it comes to light that it was Mustang who engineered the train bombing, his little insurgency is going to find itself with no popular support. Without popular support, an insurgency will die. Not to mention that the Southern and Western armies may still be loyal to Bradley. The more I think about it, Grumman is the smartest guy in all this. He's letting Mustang and Armstrong be the gung-ho revolutionaries while he hangs back and either steals the glory if things succeed or picks up the pieces should the revolution fail. There's also the notion of what the Central soldiers who were just fighting with the Armstrongs and the Curtises are going to do now. Will they remain loyal to their leader the Fuhrer, or will their battle-forged bonds prove stronger? And what about Mrs. Bradley? What will she do once she learns the true story, that her "savior" Roy Mustang was also the guy who tried to kill her husband? The King's return is a complete game-changer. |
| There's so much going on I don't know how they're going to finish this!!! I can't wait! |

AICW said: It's safe to say that the good guys' winning streak is about to come to a screeching halt. The King's return is a complete game-changer. That + your forum pic is WIN. Never guessed the Curtis could pull something like that to shock the Armstrongs. Nothing less expected from the ordinary housewife and her damma-san. But I seriously cant wait, I think Miyano Mamoru will takeover Nakamura Yuuichi to give a blow or two. Greed might have the Ultimate Shield, but its Ling who is actually a badass fighter. I was awestruck when he had lan fan on his one shoulder and still managed to avoid being taken down by Wrath in their first meet. This is their third fight now, considering Greed and Ling as Greedling ;) Epicness waits in next episode. Last time I saw someone doing that was Kenshin when he sliced a cannon ball to halves with his sakabatou, Wrath is going to pull the same act on something even better, a TankShellZMOGFUCKINGCRAZY:D |

| LOL. I've been waiting for Izumi's entrance.. but not for King Bradley.. I knew Grumman won't succeed in killing him.. =.= *ehem* looks like GreeLin will be his enemy.. oh well, I CAN'T WAIT!!!  Note: The following screenshots are as big as your house. Nah, just kidding. ~END~ |

Jaymie said: Next episode is going to be amazing! Too bad the opening spoils the fact that Scar fights Bradley, so it looks like either Greed loses, or it's a stalemate. Gotta love Anime opening spoilers!!! >_> You can't trust anime openings... ever. I remember Fate/Stay Night, the 2nd OP had a totally badass Shirou vs. Archer fight. It never happened T.T |
| This episode had epic proportions of crowning moments of awesome. And the very next episode WILL BEAT THAT, mark my words. A hint though: there was a grenade on Bradley's back... |

Julio-sama said: So the King returns? Next episode should be full of awesome action! ^_^ And LOL at Olivier with mouth open when she saw Izumi kick ass. XD I know best part of Episode^^ next Week Greed vs Bradley cant wait! 5/5 |
 |
| Lol at the Armstrong and Curtis scene xD Talk about a major kick ass team though, I for sure would not want to get in their way =P Too bad Sloth died but at least he got eternal rest now (^.^) |
| Great episode as always! ^^ I really loved Ed and Mustang' argument :)) and the fight with Sloth. :P Argh--- Bradley'll sure cause a lot of problem! |
| Don't belive in yourself! Belive in me who belives in you! (TTGL) XD ...LOVE and PEACE!! ^_^ |
| Ohhh~ next week, Greed vs Bradley. Can't wait^^ |
| Epic episode, and the arrival of Bradley at the end was just WiN! I must say that it will be sad when this series will come to an end. FMAB is truly a masterpiece! |
 |
| The epicness contiunes. The unity of muscles between Armstrong and Izumi's husband was hilarious XD...but King Bradly just had to show up and ruin things ;o |
 |
| darn the bad ass homonculus by the name of king bradley returns to action cant wait for the next episode |
| Episode was awesome! I can't wait for next week. I'm hoping the ending episode will be an hour long special or something, so it won't be rushed. |

Not just glimpses here and there, or 2 second flashbacks every 5 episodes.. Sigh lol |

| I was never against ishbal episode when it first aired . . . But after watchin the episodes which followed , i was really disappointed wit it . . I mean , cramming up one volume into one episode is just too bad on the part of bones , and this is what i don't want from the episodes that are gonna follow 55 :) thats all i hope for . . Besides this , i have no complaint from the series . . . Its been doing the manga justice and it surely is my favourite anime over the past few seasons . . What impressed me in the latest episode is the fact that there wasn't any (not even a single) inconsistency in the artwork . . . Which actually took me by surprise . . . I was expecting a lacklustre episode to be honest (mainly because of the top notch stuff we had in the past few episodes) . . . . . |
| I know what ya mean... if anything, I was expecting THIS episode to be the one taking the dive on production values... but not so I guess. I'm worried though, because next episode and the one possibly following SHOULD have the most insane animation of the entire series; a worrying prospect for a fan who has been the most excited for this event since the chapter in which it came out. |

'm not worried about the next episode . . Not at all . . . The reason being , 1. Awesome animation directors for the next episode 2. Preview looked mind blowing . . What worries me is episode 57 . . . |
| It was funny the part of Alex and the husband of Izumi!! xD "Hundredfold bravery!... Thousandfold muscles!!!" xD The next episode will be so epic and great!! Bradley came back... so death and massacre as the preview says so... FMA Brotherhood is quite great! |
