It was a nice and relaxing episode. I feel like this is the start of a new arc in the story. Can't wait for next week!

I liked the first series... but this series are good. :3

I cracked up with the "growing taller" part. So funny.

and the baby part... pretty cool how they Incorporated all that together with the Rush Valley part. But still, old series will always be awesome! :3

For the first time I actually noticed something that was in the first FMA but not in this one (I don't remember many details from first FMA). Looking forward to seeing the stuff about their master.

I smell something in here. I can just imagine Edward having a new and better automail. Who knows? Maybe Winry will learn how to make better automails and that can help Edward a lot. He might grow taller or something, lol.

Okay so it was a nice episode. It was like this episode was setting up the mood for the next thing that's going to happen. I just wonder who is this skilled technician grandpa told Winry about.

Also in the end, did anyone notice those wanted pictures? I think those people are going to play a role in the future. Gah another bad guys. :(

That's a good episode I must say, alittle bit humorous in the delivery part. It's cute too.

I hope Dominic-san accepts Winry as his apprentice I'm sure she just proved herself in this episode!(●>v<●)

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!


LOL, ...they were ed fleas...that makes since it was so brief and i wasn't wearing my glasses, i thought they were lil Ed sperm.
I loved the episode.it was funny, cute, and sweet. great way to establish more depth

I loved this episode because of Winry and Ed together (the baby as well), and that scene at the end was somehow one of the best scenes I have seen in a while.

I generally dislike comparing this and the original anime. But, I really like the direction they seem to be taking Winry and Ed. I remember the Rush Valley episodes being rather pointless in the other one, so the fact that this was a character development episode really pleased me.

I see a lot of concepts remade here, but it's remake of FMA after all. Some of them I like, some of them I don't. The three wanted posters at the end suprised me, and the Greed's one interested me the most. Can't wait to see him again.
Btw, just as I thought(since FMA) Ed is so short because of his automail *stares at Winry

This episode felt like a break from all the complicated things going on. It was still great though. 1. It was damn funny; and 2. Character development FTW.

Winry is awesome, that's all there is to it. As I said in my previous post, I like how this series develops Ed and Winry's relationship in a very genuine way. The episode did feel somewhat fast though at parts but still good.

Nice episode though I lacked allot of information in this episode that was shown in the original like the arm wrestling battle and that the thief made a deal with winry, etc this also lost some impact for the ending, I don't quite remember the birth or that winry wanted to be apprentice with him but either way not a bad episode though I think they packed a bit to much! Like also the wanted posters at the end we never seen the episode with the mineworkers and that captain who forced taxes on all of them... oh well it's good that I've watched the original as well to make a full complete story out of it and it's still nice to see some compact story of FMA!

Great episode non the less! Up to the next one :D

pretty much nailed it :P

i think they added the baby scene here to compensate for not seeing Gracia deliver Elicia(the first season has that).

not to mention Ed and Al actually met Dominic and interacted with him, Ed even smack Paninya for stealing the silver watch :P

in the first season it was supposed to anger and challenge Ed since winry gave the watch herself.

and yes we didn't get to see the Tax episode.

then again a certain important character which is exclusive in the first season of the anime and not the manga appears there



overall it's pretty much identical, im not sure if some of the scenes from the first anime is from the manga and they just cut it here to save time.

and yes it's good to experience both at the same time to compare the differences :)

He said something about maybe praying to God this once.

I really like Wenry's character. She's cheerful and bright without being over the top or annoying. She balances the brother's out well.

I'm really glad they ended this town's arc in one ep. I don't actually like Winry that much and I hope this anime doesn't get into too much of a romance by the end of it, I like my shounen to stick to being shounen.

It was flat out stupid that Paninya changed her stealing ways because of one obvious statement from a stranger. Paninya sucks anyways, especially her name. Panini.

Necessary but rather dull episode.

I think that this episode was completely rushed and unnecessary, like they were trying to shove as many story arcs and plot points as they could into an episode. You may argue that Winry was pretty extraordinary in this episode but that was only because the plot demanded her not to be redundant to the episode, evidence for this is the fact that they just shoved in a plot point saying that Winry used to read medical books instead of children's books as a child. However, since she said herself that she hadn't even seen a pregnancy being carried out before and the absence of a doctor made it hard to believe that there were no problems, even minor, during the baby delivery. My opinion of her was even further reduced when seeing her blatant disregard of personal belongings, why else would Ed seal the pocket watch using alchemy if it wasn't for a particularly touchy subject. My main gripe for this episode would be the idiocy of Paninya - i'm sure you know why from the explanation in the episode but every move made from her was so irritating that it really hurt the episode, honestly don't know why people like this episode so much.

Awww, good episode~
So, this is where the birth scene really happened. It was nice.
Damn girl, don't go around stealing shit to repay what someone did to you. That's just stupid =_= I hope her character develops.
I am glad that Winry has a more solid role now.

The events take place in Rush Valley very differently from the FMA, the plot is very very different and also the narrative comes out changed, but in principle it is always very funny, but a few steps in history is done, even at the level of ties interpersonal. Drawings and animations than ever before, have a much higher level.

I'm sensing some shipping between Edward and Winry and I'm too excited for that.

What a nice change of pace from the last episode. Good to brace myself before the next tragedy.
