Lol, wow, Winry is so cute and funny and not annoying. What a waste of tables. Winry and Ed were very funny. Damn, winry. How the hell did you not know it was alchemy, that was stupid. Her granny was hot...did she shrink?
I thought winry's set up was stupid, why didn't they just hold another auto-mail wrestling match, having Ed throw the match. oh well, still got to the moral. good episode, great music. can't wait to meet their teacher.

I still liked this episode thought the introduction of the other auto mail users were interesting.

And Winrey proved to be awesome.......the took another step back at the end for crying again.

Stupid Winry =____= You know Ed doesn't look down on automail. Tch. He worked so hard studying to earn that pocket watch. And the engraving is very important to him so don't have other people steal it >:T

That's what I was thinking, except I remember their sensei was female, sooo.... probably the woman with the braided hair?

this wasn't a perfect episode but also not a really bad one.

i am pretty sure this 2 persons are his teacher and someone else he knows cause they kinda had the same look as in the train and they didn't appear as enemy before if i remember correct so that is out of the question.

i did like that mustang has already most figured out not sure if i like the way he tries to solve it by climbing higher up first.

i didn't like Winry took his clock just to hear him say auto mails are amazing it was just retarded to do not to mention he carved the date they burnt there house in it and it has special value to him she should have been more careful.

over all i say this episode is one of the weakest so far if it isn't actually the weakest not saying i didn't like it but could have been better.

Uhh... This episode alone nearly made me drop FMA. I know I'm in the minority here, but these annoying supporting female characters are the worst part of anime. Winry is pretentious, and downright selfish.

If I have to hear her whine about some ridiculously miniscule thing one more time, I am done. Ed has literally lost an arm and a leg, Al has lost his whole body, and she's crying about... I don't even know what she is crying about! She's afraid Ed will get his automail somewhere else? It's clear she just can't not be the center of attention.

Ed should tell her to get lost every time she demands he pay for all her crap.

Not to mention as Robertovk mentioned, she just took Eds watch which clearly holds a lot of value to him, just to get him to say she makes good automail. If that isn't selfish I don't know what is.

Winry is much better in Brotherhood!

They made her such a slut in this series. Nah I'm just kidding. I shouldn't say slut, it's a mean thing to say.

Not that bad of a episode, since we need to cool down after Hughes tragic death, which was pretty devastating to watch.

I didn't like the new opening song, liked the new ending but preferred old ones but liked how the end credit sequence was all about Winry and the dog, super kawaii!

Winry makes me laugh, I hope they continue to use her in it more.

Winry is so adorable ^o^
I kinda wish Ed would have hugged her at the end. She looked like she needed a hug. =( Although I don't see why she was crying...She wants to make the best automail, but she's already so great and aside from that one jerk, no one has really said anything bad about it.

I liked the town of people with automail! Pretty neat =3

I liked that girl, she was cool.

I love the part where Winry was like "Al, let your brother go" xD

And knocking them out with wrenches xD

Episode transition but not boring, it will also be conversational, but there is so much to think about, not least the narrative and the plot becomes even more intriguing. The new opening is not very much, the ending is pretty.

What the actual fuck? That part with the watch was so stupid, Winry knew that Ed engraved the day on which he burnt down his home on to it, and he never showed it to even Al. She knew what it meant to him.

Apart from that idiocy, this episode was decent.

I think Winry means well. She really wants to help any way she can. I at least appreciate her skills, and believe like the brothers they still have a lot of room to grow, considering they are teenagers, so it's expected that all three have instances of immaturity.

Meh episode, but at least Mustang started suspecting who the pursuer of the stone might be. Maybe it's because I read the same exact chapter in the manga just a few days ago.

Ahhh, bummer dude. No more of "Ready Steady Go!" I loved that OP. This OP is good though, but I haven't caught myself singing along the first time around lol.

Don't really get Winry's thought process here. Why would you let Paninya take Ed's watch even though you saw what's inside and know how much it means to him?

One of the weaker episodes. Rush Valley felt more like a filler and not a really good one. The only positive was Roy starting his investigation and sensei showing up at the end.

Agreed, she should have known not to toy with it. And what kind of setup was that anyway? Why not make another contest as someone else mentioned? Playing catch over the city's rooftops was just silly.

I am watching both adaptations simultaneously and up to this point (Rush Valley) that's my opinion as well. She is portrayed more confident and badass in BH. Here we often get the teary side of her...

Haha who would've thought...the leopardess was pretty hot and apparently frightening to Dominic. We should get a flashback to Pinako's earlier adventures :D

I didn't remember just how enjoyable this episode was. The idea of automails being further explored paired up with winry growth alongside some new likable characters was perfect. I'm also a massive fan of the new OP and ED. I prefer the third op much more over ready steady go

5/5
