| I hope they explain the circles because I didn't understand shit about why people who tried human transmutation could use alchemy without them. |

| this episode started out really funny, i always get a kick out of seeing how terrified ed and al are of izumi. but the hug scene at the end!! with that music!! beautiful |
| Great episode, especially the hugging scene and Izumi seeing Truth. Some parts were cut out but and others added but the flow was just right and they managed to include quite a bit in one episode without it feeling too rushed. Auron_ said: Well said. But if they had understood fully, there would be no FMA as we know it. So I'm happy that they didn't. :)This was an exceptionally well-made episode. Yes they were right, their alchemy is like the flow of the unvierse. Law of Equivalent Exchange is very much like the First Law of Thermodynamics and the stages of alchemy are like cycles of life itself. Had they understood the meaning of their words to it's fullest extent, would they still have committed the taboo? Were they so desperate to see their mother again that logic and reason didn't matter anymore? It doesn't help but make things all the more tragic. 4/5 Oh and funny that the "exceptionally well-made episode" still only gets a 4/5 from you hehe Kabyk said: Agreed, Ed's realization in FMA1 while seeing the bug being deconstructed by ant was a great way to show alchemy in nature.The "explanation" of the "One is All" theme was far better here than I had expected and better than FMA1; although FMA1 did the "realization" to this fact better. A trade-off, I suppose. 2Deeh said: I would've liked them to include Mason as the island "enemy" as well. Especially since his job was to physically train them in those 30 days.I feel cheated, where the hell was that crazy masked man that worked at the meat shop? That was the best part of this island training in the manga. SaiDrew said: As I understand it, people who saw the Gate and Truth get a certain amount of knowledge from it. In return they pay a price, e.g. Izumi's organs and Ed's limbs. Through this knowledge they acquired they are now able to perform alchemy without drawing a circle first.I hope they explain the circles because I didn't understand shit about why people who tried human transmutation could use alchemy without them. |

| Fullmetal Alchemist as a franchise has countless number of characters that I find to be really good and Izumi Curtis is one of them. Episode focused on her introduction, how she met Ed and Al, and how Ed and Al learned the roots of alchemy through Izumi's test. Pretty heavy episode too with knowing that Izumi's gone through the hell Ed did when it comes to human transmutation and 'seeing the Truth'. |
| Probably the best episode after several weak episodes. I thought Izumi coughing blood was a comical gag but she actually lost her organs after trying to revive her son. I also liked Elric's monologue on the island and how he and his brother survived there. Master and students made the same mistake in the past. It's sad cuz I'm not surprised or curious about Hohenheim debut and role in the story at this point since I was spoiled years ago. What a pity. 4/5 |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| full metal alchemist,my hero academia and mob psycho like popular animes made by bones studios. teacher and the pupils committed same mistake ended up losing organs,parts and body.this episode is nice and emotional. all for one,one for all remembered me the quirks of all might and original user of all for one from my hero academia. |

| another one i liked. This episode was important in establishing the series' philosophy because it's going to be important later |
| fantastic episode, literally the best one yet, i feel like this episode is the actual start of this anime. |
| Still going strong with this show and not a moment too soon, we have now met Ed and Al's mentor of Izumi. It was part funny and part touching for me because shows that even their mentor was willing to go the extra mile for them even she had broken the taboo pretty much in the same boat as the brothers. The stuff involving Hohenheim was also very good because it gives Ed an extra layer to his cynicism I feel. And also explains why he turned his nose up at the milk he was given while in the hospital earlier on in the show. Apparently we are going to be introduced to a new villain in the form of Greed in the next episode and apparently this is where the original manga stuff starts so can't wait, honestly can't wait. |
| its kinda wird becouse They said that their parents was dead so why all was having his body and brother his heand and leg i don t understand |
