The series is starting to pick up now. The previous episode already improved by leagues, and I think they're finally learning how to pace the 'retelling' part of the show. Liked Envy's voice a lot.



My only complain is not sticking to the canon with Bran.
...though that probably doesn't count as a real spoiler, since the omakes and author notes usually aren't really canon ^^;;; (to my sincere regret)

Lol at Mustang in the rain. "Pouf !"

Another great episode, good balance between humor, action and drama.

LOL @ Roy. From * Big tough grin" to "Ah-!" Fun episode. The flashback about the Ishval Massacre was cool too.

The part with the "fodder soldier" was missing. And Envy-Conan is cool ;)

Very much like this anime. Thought the art for the mother's "corpse" was much creepier in the first FMA, and the art doesn't seem nearly as good in this version by comparison.

However, I do like that Ninaxander got more screentime, and I do like the ED theme.

Absolutely no complaints about this episode. The animation quality was way up (especially from Lior), they've finally fixed the pacing problems, and the drama is as hard hitting as ever.

I complained about the ED last week, so this week I'll rave about the OP. It's probably one of the best I've ever seen. The animation quality is amazing, the music fits perfectly, and they sync up sometimes with characters mouthing key lines.

Quite good episode!
This time, things are well explained =)
Or maybe I was too naive to understand the anime =P

Well, next episode we will finally see Winry \o/

This episode was nicely done. I like Ed's initial expression when he met Scar.

Loled at Mustang's 'impotence'. I hope during the later part of the series we can see his fighting prowess. Go flame alchemist, I'm rooting for you all the way!!

As mentioned, great episode!!

This was a good episode. Less comedy, more serious in tone and very solid action sequences.

Finally got to it. It was great. I remembered enough of the first series to make the comparison and say that pacing is just right. Three stories in one episode.

Two thumbs up.

I think his arrogance makes him forget that weakness.

I liked the way Scar cocks his hand before battle, it looks unnatural, and sets the scene perfectly for the ass-whooping he usually gives.

"Like I'd go after a dangerous guy like that!"

"Now my arm feel off, stupid brother!!!"

Awww, bromance! Cuuuuteiiiieesss >.<

This episode was good but I felt like I was just doing a mental checklist, Scar intro, Scar fight, funny Mustang is pointless moment, funny Al moment(okay I still Laughed out loud for this), and Winry.

Once again good, just can't wait till the stuff I don't know.

Lol what the fuck was that dream? I got scared after that zombified mom and Nina/Alexander combo pop up. So without further ado, I'm going to say that this episode rocked, as usual lol. Next episode should be awesome because WInry's going to show up, yes.

Okay so first of all I thought that the priest was dead so I was like shocked after I saw him. It turned out to be that it's Envy, one of the main enemies, It's also good to hear Scar and the Ishbalan's past.

I really wonder how come Scar is really powerful? Isn't he only an Ishbalan? He lierally owned Ed and Al back there. Damn will Ed become stronger as the episodes progress? I hope yea because he's still weak right now, lol.

i wonder when they're going to cover stuff from the manga storywise. cause so far it's pretty much a retelling of fma 1 so far.

Well, everything so far has been from the manga (minus episode 1); they're just going fast because FMA1 covered this stuff, too.

Around episode 12 or 13 is when FMA:B splits into its own distinct storyline, I think. By episode 20 it's nothing like FMA1 at all.

They really rush the story, but I bet it's because they have enough aces in their sleeves ^^ They quite miss the emotions build up part. But if someone has watched FMA(like me) he won't have any objections against this, so I think most of us are OK with it.
Scar's new decomposition visuals aren't as good as the red ones, but the little fix on him about the glasses makes it up for it. The talk between Elrics was quite emotional, it gives me nice feelings, FMA alike :)
