it's really stupid how someone can just use your name and people will instantly believe it without question.

seriously WTF?!?!?!

woah so they are really making a fake Philosopher's stone huh???

and wow Edward and Alphonse seems to get kicked out on multiple occasions now.

great stuff :)

Loved Fletcher! But he fell into the red water and got the liquid on his clothes... so if it's harmful to humans wouldn't it have damaged his skin or something?

We know Ed is better than that. And at least Russel wrote a letter of apology.

Fletcher looks like Naruto lol.

this was not the best episode it felt a bit weak for some reason. i still wonder who this dark haired woman is that shows up from time to time.

also i am surprised that the fake stone had a pretty good effect already and that the real one can be created if they know the right materials.

Kind of a "blah" episode, in my opinion. There was barely any action, Edward seemed particularly weak and annoying, and the story was pretty slow. It had a couple good moments, though, and we got to see Lust again. I'd really like to know what she is up to.

I hope Part 2 is better. -- 3/5

Episode after all usable in its narrative, the strengths are having divided the episode into two parts, thus giving a logical events. In the end though the self-contained story, you have a new clue in the plot. This first episode is a bit slow and introduction, but at least it's fun.

Why didn't Ed just show them his state alchemist pocket watch? Would have saved a lot of trouble lol.

So maybe the priest at the beginning of the series had a red stone?

I feel like this would benefit a lot from a broader recurring cast. All of the one-off side character stories with similar-ish scenarios makes it hard to get invested in what's happening.

Yes, because that totally makes sense. How fucking hilarious.

Laughed when the older imposter had the realisation that poisoning a village was, perhaps, not such a good idea.

Really didn't like those two imposters, hopefully they will bring Ed closer to the Philosopher's Stone though.

Edward can beat the priest with the fake Philosophers Stone but gets punched by an imposter and is already defeated?
Wonder if Fletcher's going to live.

My thoughts exactly. Better than the pure filler from last episode since we do get some information on how the "fake" philosopher stones are produced and see Lust scheming again. But not by much. Ed seemed too weak since he was able to hold his own against Cornello before who also had one of the stones. Curious to see whether Fletcher is alright...after what his brother said, he should be done for -.-

I'm sorry but meh. 1/5

I can't stand the whole imposter and disbelief moments and it just straight up gets on my nerves and always ruins episodes for me. The fake copycat elric brothers are quite pointless and somewhat annoying figures to me as of right now which is a shame.

The worst part is the reactions of all the people who obviously don't trust in the real ones :(

and of course there's a part 2 :(
