| I wonder what that the man that threw the match box does for it's life. Is it he a spy or something or how the hell he just happened to have that box and came up with the information that Al was at the bar. And by all mean's Ed. It's always a great idea to point out you'r enemies weaknesses to them. |
| lol, I expected her to throw up a stream of blood after xD |
 |
| Never mess with a housewife with flipflops! At last one of those homunculus douches get's a bit bloody. They were getting on my nerves. |

"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
kodial said: If you have not read the manga (perhaps) or haven't watched the first series of FMA, you wouldn't know who that guy who wanted to catch Scar, was. FAIL How is that a fail exactly? I actually knew because I've seen him featured somewhere before. I haven't read the manga and I was about to watch the first anime, but then people kept telling me I should watch Brotherhood first because it's closer to the original story. Tell me how that makes me fail? :) |
| Short people are loud XDDD that includes myself lolol Greed <3 Haha, just a passing housewife ^.^ |
| Greed is not that bad... for a homunculus that is. |
 |
| Greed is interesting. I liked the fight, that was cool. So, the homunculus acted separately? Hmm. Franky-aniki was going to be someone's lackey? -.- |

| Never underestimate the power of a housewife haha :D |

| Awesome episode. I liked everything that happened and all the new characters, especially Greed. Izumi is kickass. The fights are so dynamic. |
| Homunculus-san if a housewife could beat you with ease then you have a long way to go. The way Izumi scolded Ed for not putting the broom back was funny. |
 |
| I preferred "Pissed off!" |
| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| Seriously now... I would like a wife like that. XD |
| izumi is perf |
| Dat ending :3 |

| I still don't get why people like the Elric brothers that much, they seem boring and sometimes even dumb to me :/ |
| Lol gotta love Izumi! She's clearly awesome at best! |
 |
| Izumi is damn strong |
 |
| Awesome fight stuff, and Elric figuring out Greed's weakness was pretty epic. Poor Al, getting kidnapped. I kind of expected the fight to be resolved by the end of the episode, considering that's the end of "Part 1" on Netflix, but oh well! Just another excuse to keep watching, considering it's another cliffhanger! Really liking FMA:B so far, can't believe it's taken me this long to finally start watching it |
| Greed showed up pretty fast in this new version, I am not sure but it took a lot in the old one...amazing fight! |
 |
| Certain moments of the narrative are the same, more than the contexts are the dialogues, because the situations and places are different events that arise are different from those seen in the FMA and also lead here to a drastic reduction of the events, it is a and less naive than the FMA, but much better in the use alchemy. Drawings and animations good overall. |
 |
| A housewife lol!! |
 |
| "Just break up with her." lmao he's savage |
 |
| I like Greed, great character. |
 |
| Greed is interesting. He doesn't seem like such a bad guy if Ed wasn't such a hothead. Izumi is stealing the show. |
 |
| Homunculus, eh? He can be a key for boys to get their bodies back, but on the other hand he seems to be rather hostile towards them. Next time we will see Armstrong again, yay. ;D |

| I love their teacher a ton, a strong ass woman |
| Greed makes his dreadful introduction and he revealed that the Sins are a group of homunculi and what successful chimeric transmutations actually look like as opposed to Nina's grotesque transmutation. Ed's fight with Scar really came in handy because he learned how to use destructive alchemy and Izumi certainly knows how to counter Greed's shielding capabilities as well. |
 |
| their master is so badass haha, love it |
| Thus far, the jokes in FMAB are lame and juvenile. The juxtaposition between cheesy characters and 'dark' themes is off-putting, and the animation is inferior to the 2003 version. Speaking of which, the characters in the 2003 version were more fleshed-out, personable, and authentic. Nina Tucker's transformation in the 2003 version absolutely horrified me, whereas in FMAB, I felt very little sympathy. Most likely due to the rushed pacing that gives the viewer no time to empathize with the characters (not that the anime staff cared, given the intense tonal shifts). I'm not usually a stickler for OST's, but the 2003 version is far superior. I feel like the only reason people cling to FMAB, is because it is the 'original' version that the mangaka wrote. However, as blasphemous as it may sound, some movies/show trump the original work. Just look at Kubrick's 'A ClockWork Orange' or Fincher's 'Fight Club,' both were superior to the original works. |

| Mayne, I loved the fight scene in this episode. Just so fresh and so clean like the Outkast song. Yuuichi Nakamura as Greed... so good! I can't imagine anyone else perfectly capturing the personality of that character! |
| It was a good episode, the fight was really great ! |
 |
| yeah so great fight scene with greed, roy mustang is about to move on up, and a hint of scar (still wish we had seen ed vs yoki because that was great in FMA) on a sour note somebody just (accidentally, i'm sure) spoiled what happens to one of the characters to me and i am Upset. |
| I always get bothered by the shounen trope of young hotshots being able to take on anyone, regardless of their experience. There is no reason why a teenager who has spent a few years, at best, learning martial arts should be able to effectively fight a 200 year old with definitive defensive advantages. This is a 200 year old who has been living a violent lifestyle, so I'm sure he's picked up more combat skills than Ed ever could have. This definitely broke my suspension of disbelief (now, if Ed had realized from the beginning of the fight that he could break the shield, then great, that would left-foot Greed since his fighting style is based on an effective shield, but that isn't how the fight plays out.) Also, how is Ed magically able to do transformations (carbon allotropes) without forming a circle with his hands? |
| Every day you can read a book or watch some anime is a good day! |
| That ending with Izumi screaming she was A HOUSEWIFE was so awesome. This episode was solid but not the best this edition of Fullmetal Alchemist has offered so far. Atleast Greed is introduced which will be much better in the long run. |
| Yeah, a 200 year old being beaten by a teen is kinda forced....Fortunately, Izumi is there to help. |
| 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. |
| this episode is really fascinating.this anime getting every episode better and better.đź‘Ť showdown housewife vs greed i'm hyped for more combat. |
 |
| it was decent until their teacher popped up out of nowhere, idk why |
| I just wanna say Ed and Al are pretty boring as characters so far in this version (more than I remember them to be when I first watched this) All they do is say bad jokes and talk about getting their bodies back like any shounen mc |
