THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Pre-OP= Joliot Vs Scar awesomeness. Joliot's design is always something ultra duper super awesome.

OP: FUCKING AWESOME Scenes :3

Episode:

Mei's introduction = Shit
Rentanjutsu/Alkahestry introduction = OK.
Xiao Mei and SCAR = LOL
Mei's daydream = 100% faithful to manga LOL. :3
Riza's and Barry's scene = epic :3
Barry's Love = LOL
And here they cut Riza's call to Mustang.
Thankfully they did not cut "Did you kill Hughes?" line :3
Cut thar and thar and thar and thar and fracking thar.
Ling's introduction = Great.
Fight = EPIC :3
Fu = Solid Snake :3
Rabbit trap for Ran Fan = LOL
They skipped the "beach scene".... T_T

ED: calm.

Overall episode was better paced than previous ones and I liked that they did not cut many important scenes. It felt good and it had some great animations for fight.

Next episode seemingly deals with



Overall 4/5, since they DID NOT INCLUDE THE "THE FLAMES WILL BE EXTRA HOT" SENTENCE T_T

Where's mah Royai ship >_>

The new opening is awesome. I love seeing the new cast members in it. :DDD

Ling's voice is PERFECT. A+ I loved his quick escapes (especially the one where he sort of dances away from all the angry citizens of Rush Valley) and random popping in. Ling is my hero.

Riza shooting Barry was epic. ♥ I love how stoic she can be.

I'm sad they cut Riza's call to Mustang. :( They seem to be cutting all the Royai scenes. I was especially sad to see this little exchange cut out. But I loved just seeing Roy and Riza in civilian clothes. ♥♥♥

Yes, episode was really good (besides Mei's introduction) BUT when you look at it as a royai fangirl whom I happen to be, it was disappointing -.- I mean they cut chess scene earlier and now they cut most of the royaish Barry part, tsk, they cut most of the Barry part even not royaish moments, why oh why they included this fight at the beginning but cut Barry part, darn it -.-

I was quite disappointed with the lack of Royai too!

But overall the episode was great, the new OP sounds good and animation is great, ED had mediocre music and animation but I suppose it'll grow on me.

Ling and Miyano Mamoru were EPIC!

yea, better pacing than the previous because its actual new manga stuff instead of review of previous.
ling is awesome as ever, his VA is nice too.
the beginning fight was a great intro for us saying 'its new stuff!'
the comedy is presented more than before since the previous were used in fma1 already, so seeing all the comedy again is nice.

liked and didnt like the new opening at the same time. nothing too special aside from the fight scenes.

Great episode. Ling's voice makes him more likable (I honestly hated him when I first read the manga) and Ran Fan seems more feminine than I remember. Also loved the comedy scenes with Ling and Winry XD

...Must...see....Ling....must...see.....*dies from not seeing 15 yet*

Damn I'm pathetic to want to see this guy so badly. xD Still, from what you guys have said, it looks like another good episode. Saw the new opening and I'm meh about it. I think the first one was better, but the animation quality is still superb. *Nod* I really love how good the animation is in all of Brotherhood; it just makes me go wow, lol.

Edit//

Okies, finally saw it. Pretty good; May's opening was bad though, even if a person hadn't read the manga. It's like she's so..randomly entered. I mean, she was pretty random in the manga with her introduction, but at least it made more sense to how she got to Scar and Yoki. Still, Ling's introduction made up for it. xD Poor poor Ed, he wasn't expecting that. Ling's voice actor is really good too. 0-0 Fits him well.

I'm surprised about Ling's voice actor, Miyano Mamoru...
But liked his voice... fits him very well...

For me, the new opening wasn't so bad...
and the ending is more or less...

Loved the fight scenes... the animation was very good.

The only bad part was May's introduction...

I know Eclipse's original parent server was shut down by Funi for distributing FMA:Brotherhood. Maybe they finally caved in even though they are running on a new server? I hope not.... I just peeked on their site and they have nothing listed for episode 15 yet.

I was on Eclipse's IRC tonight. No "official" dropping of the series stated. The one in charge of subs probably took the night off or something its not like these guys are getting paid to do this so I will wait patiently for Eclipse to deliver.

BUT I TOTALLY FEEL FOR YOU.
I've only seen the opening so far, I'm gonna watch the episode when I find a better translation xP
But seeing Ling in the op alone made me go like SPAZZOMFG. I can't help it, I love this guy to no end and what happens later in the manga is just the cherry on top of the cake that is Ling.
I've been waiting for his appearance in the anime since I've first seen him in the manga. And then I found out his seiyuu is Miyano. SO FUCKING AWESOME x3 I love Miyano.
Ok, I'm literally jumping on my chair here. God, I never expected being a fangirl. Dx So sad.

But I can't believe they cut out Roy's Glowing Eyes of Doom and the 'extra hot flame' line Dx

I have no idea how to deal with torrents BUT I'M GONNA FIND OUT. For the sake of the link few posts above.

Oh, no, you should separate the 1st and the 2nd anime, they're completely different. I haven't watched the 1st one but if Wrath wasn't Bradley, then it WAS filler. Manga Wrath is Bradley. Think of this anime as of a completely different story. If not, you're gonna be confused.

Not to mention that FMA1 kept Tucker alive as Rabbit Chimera, with upside down head. Oh and Sloth was Ed's mother thar

As for quality. There are no quality subs for now. The ones that exist well...are almost impossible to understand

Quoting the current subs:
"Not bad but scratch, I get high!"
"Scratch? I blow scratch high"
"What this is?"

XDD Ok, I'm sorry, but I think they reached new heights of Asspulling there XD
As for the subs that are present at the moment - I got through the beginning but I didn't really get the Scar/Silver Alchemist conversation AT ALL. So I turned it off. I'M WAITING FOR HIGH QUALITY LING QUOTES. (Oh, and to be perfectly clear, this is NOT supposed to be jerkass rushing the subbing groups, I'm just stating a fact there :) I figure that if I can't help, I shouldn't at leat complain, yep? xP)

...but actually, I get much more pleasure this way, waiting for Ling to appear on-screen x3
And no, I won't stop talking about him xD I'm sorry.

i know that fma 1 & movie is separated story like it never even happened because it's not after manga, i was wondering because everyone else from homunculis team are the same at this fma too and then there was no wrath, but wrath came out to be fuhrer afterall, so u wont tell me fuhrer will reveal his "true" form or something as this kid..

..at some moment of story? well i guess not...i'm gonna miss this ^ character a bit however, but luckily this, the real version of Fma has some new cool characters instead, take for instance Ling xD

Sadly I wont. Hated that character, voice and anything surrounding his storyline to the core. Hated how stupid Izumi would act around him, Hated his almost abnormal relationship with Sloth/Ed's_Mother, hated him for
and being overall unstable character.

Thankfully his VA does a perfect(that is, different from his FMA1 role) job as Ran Fan(Ling's female guard) in FMA:B, so I can forget how annoying that VA sounded in FMA1...

Agreed. I couldn't stand the little twerp. x___x And that was before I'd even set eyes on the manga. Looking back...FMA1 really made a lot of stupid plot choices compared to the actual manga storyline.

Meh. Oh well. If I hadn't watched it, I wouldn't have read the manga, and thus I would not have heard of the epicness that is Ling Yao. LING. *dies* Damn I loved his introduction in this episode. xD That definitely wasn't your average stray.
