| NO!! Greed died :( I kinda like Greed and Lin as a team.Why did he have to die??? |
| Handled very well. There were certain elements in the manga that didn't go into the anime's script, but the anime is better off without them, it needs to maintain the atmosphere. The Hoemheim tribute is quite a surprise, the ending with song played, really just wow, Hoemheim's tribulation through all those years, finally he's found true happiness. I'm really really happy with this episode, it really brought closure to the series and is epic and relieved fatigue after the intense battle. 1000/10. Anyone worried about what's going to be in the last epilogue episode? There's some stuff to cover, but I'm worried it'll be too cheery and disjointed scenes to be a good episode. Feels like it's going to be a super long OVA haha. Bones better extend beyond the manga or the next episode is not going to feel right at all. |
 |
| great episode! i was so excited that i didnt wait for the subbed one to come out xD i watched the raw :3 though thanks to the manga i understood the episode xD |
 |
| Amazing. It really outdid the manga. The extended scenes were really great. I don't have anything more to say. Next episode is the last part of the last chapter. More extended scenes and tying out some loose ends in the manga ending will make this the best ending of all. Why must all shows I'm watching end at the same time and all of the are pretty great endings except for AB? There's not much in the next season... |

| GREEEEEED-SAMAAAA You will be missed TT__TT Fai said: - Ending theme being re-themed with Hohenheim scenes was nice. I am betting that they will expand the last page of manga through the ending of ep64. It just makes sense Makes sense and will be AWESOME. (Hopefully more Ling for me.) Great, great ending. I am SO glad that Arakawa came up with something else than ultimately using the Stone to get Al back, that would just be in conflict with the whole manga. -sob- Only one more episode and it's goodbye D: I lived through the manga ending just because there were more anime episodes to come, but now...Q_Q I can't wait for the Also, yay for Al being back! x3 |

| I think the main reason for this episode to be sooooo different from the manga , is because the studio didn't have a master copy of the manga chapter . . Instead all the animation and artwork was carried out from the storyboards that the staff had . So hats off to BONES . . Seriously . . |
| I usually get the WTF when watching the last episode of most anime... But I think FMA concluded the anime quite well... and there's one more episode left... can't wait. |

| Loved the Van Hohenheim montage. Such an epic character ;_; |
| 頭脳は子供、見た目は大人！ ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ |
| Fantastic episode. A great ending for Hohenheim, one of the most pivotal characters in FMA. Greed, one of the coolest of the Homunculi, will be missed. Looking forward to the final episode, as it should expand on the manga's epilogue, but the day it airs will be a sad day...the end of FMA... |
| Wow. just... wow. I was so sad when Greed died. He a Lin where so amazing. It's weird that Hohenheim's death wasn't as sad. Well, it was, but it didn't hurt the same way. I guess it was cuz he was able to find some sort of peace. The next episode is going to be great. This series feels way more wrapped up than the first one. |

Please get your facts right . . yeah....ed and al's mom looked at least in her 30's when she died edit: just checked their mom was 26 when she died....which means she had ed at 21? he was 5 when she died right? |

| Great finale, I cried like a baby haha |
| @Suigetsu00 . . Good work . . :) and still no eclipse version :( |
| One the best anime's out there imo I could do without the last episode, I feel they wrapped everything up quite nicely already. |

| fucking awesome dialog between God and homunculus =) and Ed also.. brilliant ep |
| After an awesome 62nd episode, we had the usual animation quality drop and lack of pace of a seemingly endless anime that took too long to reach its conclusion. The dramatic scenes felt almost forced as did the unusual happy ending (for an anime at least). Overall, the first part of the ending was not really great in terms of either development or conclusion. I hope the last episode will be better and bring a decent closure to this anime which has been outstanding for a shonen (especially from episode 30 onwards). |

silent_killer said: @Suigetsu00 . . Good work . . :) thanks :) i just re-watched the episode and skipped to the part where they show hohenheim sitting at trisha's grave lol :) |
| IDC Im a FMA Fan Boy for life lol this episode and this series was soooo epic from the 1st episode til nxt weeks |
| FMA B, you will be missed .... |
 |
| did anyone else notice the name sephiroth and a 7 next to it? anyway great episode |
 |
| Good episode! I can't believe that there's only one left. I think that when the anime ends, I'll actually have closure. I didn't have real closure when I read the last chapter of the manga, just because I knew that the show was still going on. But. I cried when Hohopapa died. I really did. He really becomes a great and lovable character. |

Rey-misterio said: did anyone else notice the name sephiroth and a 7 next to it? anyway great episode It's not the Sephiroth from Final Fantasy VII, though, but the Sephirot from the Kabbalah. And yes, the whole Sephirot is on it. --- Also, I can't believe the massive trolling by the usual villains.... oh, btw, Eclipse's out~ |

| @funkpanda ....))))))) @darkchaplain: thanks for the info mate |
| This was an amazing and awsome episode, I loved it so much. I will miss Greed and Hohenheim~ I can't believe that only left one episode~ |
 |
| An awesome episode for an awesome series. FMAB will be missed after ep 64 ends, but there's already the dual audio for me >:D |
 |
| Nothing much to say but: Faaantastic episode. Got a little teary at parts. It just seems like such a - dare I say it? - perfect ending. (I know nothing's perfect but whatever. This is one of the few times I've come across an anime that has an ending that I feel I'm definitely going to be satisfied with. :] ) ... I think my only complaint was that at some point, Ed stopped being the only real main character. Even then, I guess that can be a good thing, since other characters got to share the spotlight (other characters that deserved some attention)... |
| Ahhh, so amazing. Made me tear up a bit when Greed and Hoenheim died. This series makes me cry way to often... First Hughes, now this... But, in the end, I'm satisfied with the way that the series is ending. Can't wait for the last episode to wrap things up! |
| @Jacut, does FMA manga qualify as a shounen manga ? =\ i think not.. i mean it has little elements of shounen, but i dont think it is one.. if you look at bleach/OP/Nar. those are shounens.. this one is just on another world.. lots of deaths.. just one story, it has a finale.. plus it was monthly release.. |
| "Man the fuck up, why're you getting swept away!?" : D Anyway, R.I.P. Greed D': (Oh well, since Lin is still there, I guess it's fine) Hohenheim's death as blissful as it could possibly be~ And this was about just as epic as it was in the manga, not really though, but since the manga was way beyond 10/10, this'll also be 10 : D |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| so actually the story ended now yeah ? the villain was killed kinda way to easily... or just the anime was like this... i bet the manga was epic-er.. anyway next ep is just gonna be talking :D enough with the epicness -))))) |
| @smokes , i think fma also belongs to the shonen category . Its just extremely different . No power ups , no haxx asspulls . . Just a simple show , with a simple plot . Which is actually the best formula for an EPIC SHOW :) :) |
If Hiromi doesn't win a Nobel in Literature with her work on Hagane no Renkinjutsushi, this world will prove yet again itself to be too twisted. The Truth is told. |

Yes its still in the shonen genre,hence why its the best of shonen genre :P Main themes (moving forward, overcoming your past experiences, etc) are common in shonen genre. And shonen can be dark and "unshonen-y", best examples being fma,claymore, trc, dgm and countless others. What separates Fma (and most of my mentioned examples) from generic shonen stuff like the big trio, is a compelling and interesting storytelling with start and finish, interesting characters, innovative and interesting villains and great story execution. smokes said: so actually the story ended now yeah ? the villain was killed kinda way to easily... or just the anime was like this... i bet the manga was epic-er.. anyway next ep is just gonna be talking :D enough with the epicness -))))) Nah, this episode covered about a half of the last chapter. |

| How how how ironic , that one of the best SHONEN TITLES EVER , is actually created by a WOMAN :) :) ^@fai , in short , its the magic of HIROMU ARAKAWA . . |
| AMAZING!!!!!!! PERFECT. AWING. SO HAPPY. |

| @fai lol claymore shounen ? xD that must've been a joke. thats categorized as seinin imho.. thats definetly not a show for 15-18 kids =) and i think FMA also is in seinin category... i mean the plot is way too 'smart' for shounen audience.. i mean the shounen is more about 'action'.. lots of fights and enemies, and vast story, not that serious themes as FMA tho.. were its about God and other themes.. which is a little bit more intelectual than an shounen plot. even though its a small plot, i dont think its a shounen.. |
| Damn that was fkin great! I was honestly crying almost through the whole episode because of so much awesomeness. The drama just seems so unforced in Brotherhood. I'm gonna be so lost after the last episode :( |
| I probably regret this post by now. |

Both Claymore and FMA fall into shounen genre. Just because its shounen, does not mean that it has to have no "smart" plots. Heck manga like Bloody Monday(which is pretty much grounded in real world technology and your average kid would not understand anything) and Alive-The Final Evolution(which is as mindfucky as mindfuck can get) are classified as shonen. And both of them do not have that much action( I mean, bloody monday is all about hacker and mindgames...) shounen no longer means the audience, but themes used in it. And authors can get away with a lot of things, while still remaining in shounen genre. |

Fai said: interesting characters, innovative and interesting villains actually there are not that much interesting characters besides King Bradley, the main villain was kinda generic all the show, i mean with stuff like want to be the perfect human etc.. but i reaaaly liked the dialog between the 'God' and him at this episode.. so i kinda liked him more now.. the dialog was some awesome stuff there...psychological stuff.. really good..liked it. the other characters like Lin were well introduced but hardly developed.. though Greed was nice.. Scar is like Crocodile from OP, an epic/gar villain that then aligns with the 'good' guys.. and help them out.. he was still awesome in this show.. the rest of the characters are well developed but i dont have anyone that had a huge impact on me or gave some big emotions etc.. |
Fai said: shounen no longer means the audience, but themes used in it. And authors can get away with a lot of things, while still remaining in shounen genre. well yeah, but still there is huge amount of GORE in claymore... like bodies ripped apart.. and other gross things that for children are kinda awkward.. oh wait, checked the wikipedia and its a shounen o_O its still a dark fantasy manga tho.,. |
silent_killer said: How how how ironic , that one of the best SHONEN TITLES EVER , is actually created by a WOMAN :) :) That include Takahashi Rumiko (Inu Yasha) and Hoshino Katsura (D.Gray-man), probably the best three female shounen mangaka, but Hiromi is in a complete different level, probably THE best amongst All Shounen Mangaka. |

I thought rumiko was a guy . . Wow . . . Thats awesome . . Thanks for the info :) :) |
| Al came back:D yatta, and his body too. Now Ed can't use Alchemy but that's okay. The part where Ed cried was really super sadD: I cried to you know ^^ Overall it was so good, more than good, even if the animation is not that awesome as the previous episode but we got a good ending. Nothing rush, Hohenheim's death was sweet and I'll miss Greed:D OMG last episode next week! Hope Eclipse will sub the last episode FAST!! I'll miss FMA forever, best anime ever created. |
