| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- All I can say is that I am happy that they managed to put all of that into one episode... Next ep: |
 |
| So this episode skipped over the arm wrestling thing and Edward cheating to win and instead focused on delivering the baby. - I loved seeing Ed and Winry's talk. They have such a nice relationship with each other. - Winry and automail. xDDDD She definitely loves it. - The baby being delivered was wonderfully done, specifically Winry taking charge and Ed and Al freaking out. - I've got to love Ed and Al being mesmerized by the miracle of life while Winry spazzes about machine guns. A bit rushed, but I'm glad. I want to move on to new material already. With that being said, Izumi next episode. YESSSSS. |

| I wonder why they are even bothering to re-do the parts that were already done in the first version - this isn't adding anything at all, except for rushed and unfunny attempts at humor. They would have been better off starting with the manga-only plotline. And we get yet another re-hash episode next week. |

Also consider that Bones wants this version to be true to the manga. The first version had that intention until it caught up to the concurrent manga at the time and Bones deviated from the content. So roughly the first 25 episodes were loosely adapted from the manga. There after it was Bones' direction. We aren't that far off from "original" content soon so sit tight... Aside from that... I loved this episode. Showing more depth between Winry and Ed. Thats how it should be.. love it. |

| they carry out the plot differently .. i still kinda prefer the 1st season |

They would have been better off starting with the manga-only plotline. And we get yet another re-hash episode next week. First because this is a remake Second because it's not everyone who saw or want to see the original work and knowing that it don't follow the manga material all the way it's even more a reason for it. Third is that it freacking air on TV, if it would have been OVA I would have understood if they skipped the first season similar material but it is not, a lot of viewer are not fully into the anime world and watch only a few show without even knowing if it follow the real material or not because they aren't even wondering about that. The show is a remake not an OVA following material, i'm freacking bored to heard all of this ''why reshow this'' crap, it's like thinking that only the one who seen the original are watching this one, this idiotic way of thinking bore me ... I can assure you that a great part of the watcher didn't even heard the name of this serie before watching the first episode of the remake. As for me I saw the first serie long ago and didn't read the manga, like I said I don't mind the remake of the earlier episode. The episode was good and I'm waiting forward to the new stuff but I have what some people doesn't have: freacking patience. Anime isn't the life, play game, go outside, have fun with friend, play sport and you'll see in no time the new material comming -.- Still don't take everything I said that seriously, i'm quite calm and just express what I think, sometime a bit too much =/, but well it's hard to know someone mod by reading him when you can't even see his face, god that's one of the few point I hate of internet. |

| That was actually a really enjoyable episode. Winry was so cute in the beginning and Paninya was voice by Okamura Akemi. I just love her voice~ And seeing this made me very happy :3 |
 |
| Oh I very much like this episode! I think out of all the episodes so far, this episode was definitely the most diff from FMA1 - although I try not to compare the two, but I truly liked this version better. I really wasn't looking forward to this episode at all because from what I could remember, Rush Valley seemed to be pointless in my opinion. Boy am I ever wrong :D! Curious question (since I haven't read the manga): Was the wrestling and stealing cut out because it was not in the manga then? :P I think my favourite part of this episode has got to be the conversation between Winry and Ed at the end not only is it important for the character development for both Winry and Ed...but the animation during that scene was stunning...I really love the close ups. Other parts I liked included the Paninya chase, Ed fantasizing about his height, Ed/Ad scared to death during the birth scene, Ed's awesome awesome line, and the piggyback scene *giggles* :3 dbaranyi said: Dude, as a of couple people have already mentioned, don't make such an absurd assumption that every anime fan or anime watcher have watched this series, regardless of whether or not it was shown all around the world or that it's popular. Many anime watchers like myself watch anime not because of popularity but because of the storyline itself. Plus, there are always new anime watchers each day.I wonder why they are even bothering to re-do the parts that were already done in the first version - this isn't adding anything at all, except for rushed and unfunny attempts at humor. They would have been better off starting with the manga-only plotline. And we get yet another re-hash episode next week. It's also really important to understand that Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood is by no means a continuation of Full Metal Alchemist (2003). Full Metal Alchemist (2003) itself is not considered to be the "first season" because Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood is not a second season. It is a remake based solely on the manga, Omegaoveride did a very good job at explaining it. |
greenmush said: lol when Ed imagine himself taller i was like LOL Lmao!!! that was hilarious xD |
 |
| Good episode. I lol'd at Ed and Al when they were feeling her stomache and Ed fantisicing about his height. |
    |
| Man that baby was tiny, especially after seeing such a big stomach for the mom, and so was Paninya as as legless kid. Touching episode. |
robbydesu said: Curious question (since I haven't read the manga): Was the wrestling and stealing cut out because it was not in the manga then? :P Nope, it was in the manga. They cut it out 'cause they needed to make room for everything, I think, 'cause they couldn't put everything from the 2 and a half chapters into the episode. So no wrestling scene, unfortunately. *Shrug* It was okay. The chase scene was funnier in the manga 'cause of all the destruction and they changed a bit, but still okay. And it made me crack up several times. Especially when Ed imagined himself that tall. XD But yaaaay, Izumi next. :D |
Possk said: Oh that's interesting to know~...I'm actually glad that they took it out. I thought the whole wrestling and stealing thing was pointless. But it's disappointing to know that they cut it out considering the fact that it's in the manga :P Then again, no matter how much they say this is a remake - I guess they can't fit every little bit into the anime XD I'm still loving it so far though~robbydesu said: Curious question (since I haven't read the manga): Was the wrestling and stealing cut out because it was not in the manga then? :P Nope, it was in the manga.

| Loved the episode. Winry and the other mechanics fangirling over automail was awesome, the whole birth scene was perfect, and the scene between Ed and Winry was well handled, imo. And despite what some people think, I enjoyed the humor. I was cracking up at all the little Ed!fleas. xD Can't wait for Izumi and little!Elrics next week! |
    |
| This was a great episode, it had a lot of funny moments. I cant wait until next week. robbydesu said: Possk said: Oh that's interesting to know~...I'm actually glad that they took it out.

Hopefully once we get the new content they wont have to cut anything out. |

| For some reason, this time around, I wanted Ed to be a little bit more angry at Winry for opening his watch... |

| so they help bring in a new life, but wait a minute... didn't they already have experience doing that? or am i just thinking of the first series? |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
kage-bunshin said: Yeah your thinking of the first series.so they help bring in a new life, but wait a minute... didn't they already have experience doing that? or am i just thinking of the first series? |
  |
| Well, they cut of Paninya and Ed's awesome fight in town but ... I'll bear with it. but I'm happy that they made it on one episode. Hopefully they don't rush the next episode 'cause it's one of my favorite parts in FMA. And yeah, we aren't that far from new stuff ~ ! |

DesuMan said: What I think they are trying to do is trying to fit it all in one episode so we will get to the new content quicker. Hopefully once we get the new content they wont have to cut anything out. No lol. Its clearly because the whole wrestling and "chase" chapter is, easilly, the worst chapter in the history of fma. They did not cut that much from the latter material and they did not cut anything important from all previous episodes, so i REALLY don't see from where this whole "omg they are rushing eeet" meme comes in dbaranyi said: I wonder why they are even bothering to re-do the parts that were already done in the first version - this isn't adding anything at all, except for rushed and unfunny attempts at humor. They would have been better off starting with the manga-only plotline. And we get yet another re-hash episode next week. 1. There are new viewers too. 2. Are you blind? MANY things are different already as they are. Heck this entire episode was different from FMA1 3. Are you ignorant? Its like saying that Hellsing Ultimate "should just have continued from where Hellsing ended". They needed to re-do stuff Anime1 butchered, obviously. Sonja said: Hopefully they don't rush the next episode 'cause it's one of my favorite parts in FMA. Next episode will be easier to do, considering all "home" scenes were already shown in Ep2, they will, most likely show only the scenes we did not see in ep2. Ogh and I bet the "island" stuff will get the "stills with Ed's voice-over" treatment quite well. |

| Average episode~ Nice and all with all that Winry stuff, but nothing big as of yet. New material coming soon? |
Nick_xD said: Average episode~ New material coming soon? Rush Valley - chapters were on volume 5 (aka chapters 17-19) and the new stuff starts around chapter... 30 maybe~ Anyway on volume 8. |

Sonja said: Nick_xD said: Average episode~ New material coming soon? Rush Valley - chapters were on volume 5 (aka chapters 17-19) and the new stuff starts around chapter... 30 maybe~ Anyway on volume 8. Chapters 17-19 were already mostly NEW material. Chapter 26 is 100% new material. Next episode will cover chapters 20-25, excluding the stuff shown in Ep2, so that makes about 2-3 chapters for episode, which is good. |

It seemed more dramatic and dark. i feel like fma: brotherhood is overall way less dark and more "cheerful" (can't think of another word) than fma1 |

| Even though it was my least favourite ep so far i still enjoyed it. Guess i never thought of this bit being that great. The character development later in the ep was very good though. This episode was too much comedy for me, I'm not such a fan of the comedy style but i guess it made me laugh a few times (which is good since most series that try to use comedy these days can't even make me slightly chuckle at their jokes....) I'm a fan of this series story, characters, and seriousness. I liked the shot of the posters near the end :P... |
greenmush said: lol when Ed imagine himself taller i was like LOL yea i too soo lol'd at that one xD also this was rly awasome ep, loved like everything about it =] |

| The episode was great. Ed taller, was comic. xD The scenes they cut were scenes that we have seen in the first FMA, they're trying to avoid remaking exactly the same thing. For some reason i'm still watching thist. Dunno why So, stop watching and posting. ^^ |
| it was ok.... they just strayed to show rush valley |
 True or False Anime + Manga = Chuck Norris / Chuck Norris |
| Didnt particurly like this episode as much of the last few, still cant wait till the manga original material ^^ |
 |
| gatta love the expressions used in this episode, it was perfect =D looking forward to next episode |
Frenz said: Didnt particurly like this episode as much of the last few, still cant wait till the manga original material ^^ Then you are blind, sir, for Rush Valley was 99% manga original material. |
|
| I don't have much to say except that it was a very enjoyable episode ^^ It's a nice break from all the seriousness of before.I don't remember why but I never really liked Winry a whole lot before, but this episode definitely made me think very highly of her. |
| Just how could Winry get Ed's watch open if it was sealed with alchemy? Anyhow, great to see how they make use of Winry's past, her parents being doctors and she's helping with the baby. Agree with Aeterna, nice break. Also looking forward to Izumi, as I never got to see her as I didn't completely watch the first season. |

| This episode was good, I liked it. The humour is very much well fitted into their usuall situations, such as imagining himself taller and the odd bits of "flea, flea,flea" lol. It is progressing really well, and I for one only watched the first nine episodes of the series and I hated the way it was done thus droppinng it. I like how although they are remaking it is still good and well implemented from the manga. P.S is the manga nearly completed, I am guessing the pace they are going at they know that it is near completion, it would be good as we would get no fillers. |
Monochrome said: That was actually a really enjoyable episode. Winry was so cute in the beginning and Paninya was voice by Okamura Akemi. I just love her voice~ And seeing this made me very happy :3 mmm yes. I can't wait to him to show up |

Raitora said: I'm liking how they're building up Ed and Winry's relationship this time round. Can't wait for when Hawkeye I love that part. :) Naruleach said: also, i feel like in fma1 Paninya was portrayed way better in the flashback. It seemed more dramatic and dark. i feel like fma: brotherhood is overall way less dark and more "cheerful" (can't think of another word) than fma1 That's because FMA1 was a lot more melodramatic/angsty than the manga is. This series is much more faithful to the tone of the manga. One thing I did notice upon re-reading these chapters of the manga is that they cut out the reference to Pinako(which I had forgotten about). Not exactly important, but it was funny/cute and it would have been nice to see that part animated. |
|
| Huge improvement on the first series. Everything that I didn't like was taken out, they decidedly went light (and it fits) and focused on Winry (who I'm gradually getting less bothered by). The first half was really great visually, backgrounds were lush and they even did some different things with having extras in the foreground to show off the city. Then the middle was a little bad going from SD reaction to SD reaction, and the end was again well done, but back to the usual sparseness in what's going on on the screen. I liked it. |
DragonsWhip said: Just how could Winry get Ed's watch open if it was sealed with alchemy? Alchemy is not a magic, but a short cut. Even IF it was "sealed with alchemy" (which i personally did not even catch), there's nothing preventing from someone opening it with the right kind of skills. Sami092 said: P.S is the manga nearly completed, I am guessing the pace they are going at they know that it is near completion, it would be good as we would get no fillers. Arakawa has noted that she "would n ot want manga to pass chapter 100". We are currently at chapter 96 and anime is at chapter ~19 , and it seems that manga will either end with chapter 100 or ~105. |
