Phenomanan said: I'm watching this show after I've already seen Brotherhood like 3 times, and it's nice to see these plot lines that were rushed in Brotherhood get more time. FMA is great as I expected, I just hope the ending isn't bad like so many people have said :P From what I've heard/Read Brotherhood picks up from where FMA diverted from the manga it was made with the basis that you've watched the original or read the manga so it starts fast on purpose watching this then brotherhood. Good episode that is a good way to do an introduction to a universe much better than a couple episodes of info dump and no action. |

| The presence of the supernatural does not make what someone says true. Even so, in a world like this where alchemy is synonymous with science, you would think that these people would at least question the "priest's" so-called miracles more after everything that happened. They still haven't explained how Eric can do transmutations without a circle, and at the beginning of the episode he seemingly made that stone wall without sacrificing anything. It's also unclear how they can make objects move and what the price for that is. If they were going to start the series with a hard-and-fast rule concerning the alchemy, they should be taking the time to explain how these other aspects work as well. They may as well be able to do literally anything except resurrecting the dead, the way things are now. At least they definitively told us why Eric and Al want the Philosopher's Stone. |
| Brotherhood badly rushed this which is too bad. I really really enjoyed this episode. Flashback time? |
 |
| Damn that massive statue-thing summoning was awesome! Also, Cornello, what a prick. |
 |
| Fcked up for Rose seeing Cain in a bird form only saying Ro...Se ... and not being the Cain she remembered. I have a feeling that this story can get really interesting :) |
 |
| Rewatching this after 12 years or so, and damn, this anime holds up so well. Looking forward to watching the rest of this show again. |
| That bird chimera thing was...disturbing. |

| Wow, that was an amazing episode.....just wow |
 |
| WOW its just the 2nd episode and the anime's already showing signs of epic-ness :D |
 |
| The narrative of religion is simple, yet to the point. Love it. |
 |
| Another great episode. Definitely a difference from the brotherhood one and the manga, their plan did not go as planned. Much darker. Can we talk about that ending song? Really amazing. |

| It was very careless of Cornello's men not to make sure that there's actually anyone in Al's armour Weeyuhboo said: Is there a reason the creators chose some Russian song about mothers to play in the middle of the episode or so? Aren't the creators and main viewer base located in Japan? The creators didn't just choose some already existing Russian song however, they've made it for this show specifically, with lyrics directly related to it |

| Not a fan of the story with the Ro..se bird thingy. Pretty creepy in a bad way and IMO unneccessary filler. Also sad that we don't see the minister being executed but Envy replacing the minister at the end was unique since it isn't shown in the 2nd manga chapter or the BH adaptation. |

Why Russian though? An artistic choice I guess |

| Another banger. I really love how the 2003 version of fma can get really dark and that last soundtrack + the ed is great. That mic trick was amazing and quite clever lol |
