| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Their past in the island was really funny(kawaii bunny lol...) End was surprising. Gee, bad english ^_^ |

| I like that child. |
 |
| The teacher rocks. |
 |
| Edward: the cycle of life only goes one direction. all is one and one is all. surprisingly enough those words can be said in reverse order as well. not like it matters in their case XD that dude with the mask sure is a nice guy. not only did he look over them but he helped them figure out the riddle. oh what a generous person he is. |
| "There are probably no wild animals on the island, either." Yet, we saw rabbits, foxes, and snakes... |
| great episode |

Yeah and he also beat the living shit out of them. If I was Ed I would've lunged at his throat when he found out who was behind that the whole time. |

| Poor rabbit D: |
 |
| It was a cute rabbit indeed. |
| "We are all connected in the great Circle of Life" - The Lion King, Disney, 1994. And now Fullmetal Alchemist, Bones, 2003 - the same thing) |
| It's not like Disney are the first to think on this case. This episode was OK, but I want to see something revolving around the plot once again. |
  |
| that person had like 3 different skin colours!! (ok that might somehow sounds racist but still...) |
     |
| All, can't exist without every part it's composed by... the human despite his insignificance is a big part of the universe flow i like it... |
| I Thought this episode was great.. I like all of their flashback sequences of the series so far.. |
| Interesting episode was quite nice to see some of their past training! I do wonder who this new character is on the ending! |
 |
| love the the quote "All is One and One is All" guess they had to experience Near Death state to realize what that means. poor rabbit :( but that's how survival is. and the mask guy which is the one that rode them in island, doesn't he look short when he's not wearing any mask?? finally that spying kid shows up. hope that kid doesn't do any fishy things. |
| cliffhanger! |

jimboli92 said: What in the WORLD was that thing at the end He or it looked hella creepy O____O|| |
| That episode reminds me a little bit the serie Lost. The Others (just showing the feets), the flashbacks. Maybe a coincidence... =) |
| I like how they mixed up the present and the past in the island events, of course in the manga and Brotherhood the present part didn't happen .. they didn't actually went back to the island. but i liked it. great episode... and who the hell is that brat in the final scene ?! |
| lol easy food for the fox a tied down rabbit. funny how at first they couldn't kill the rabbit but they could watch how the rabbit got eaten alive by baby foxes :O i really liked how they mixed events in this episode i wonder who that kid is but i guess we will see that next episode. |

| lame island |
"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." |
| Poor rabbit!!! I can't believe she sent them to a deserted island at that age and then again. |
 |
| Lonely Island~ |
| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| Well flashback episode... don't like them, it just feels like the story is not moving forward at all :/ |
| A cute episode. But dat kid was creepy O_o |
 |
| That rabbit was so moe. I really like how this series explores alchemy and delves into the various concepts that comprise it. The philosophy of one is all, all is one. Not to knock Brotherhood, but I do prefer how this one focuses on the philosophical elements and deeper thoughts. |
 |
| When they eat those Amanita! Quick but hilarious! |
 |
| I'm sure that month on the island when they were kids was invaluable training. That developed their character, survival skills, and mindset in probably more ways than anything else they have ever done. That was a good move on sensei's part. It was cool to send them there again after finding out they tried to transmute their mother. Remind them about life and death and how it all connects in the life cycle. Pretty cool episode. |
| Poor bunny... Cute Foxes T^T Yay flashbacks! Al was so cute <3 |
| Pretty nice backstory episode, but at the same time these past few episodes are taking their toll and I'm getting a little bit bored waiting for some more story progression. That boy was kind of creepy at the end... -- 4/5 |
| This is an episode of transition, although this may not like, has its uses. Good building the subplot. The increase mysteries, who knows what lies beneath, I am not convinced the boy. |
 |
| Wtf that kid at the end of the ep has the same face as Al.. Especially if you recall |
| ~ The world is not beautiful, therefore it is. |
| Circle of life is important! Dat ending! What a weird looking kid. |
 |
| Anyone else see Kuroki Tomoko there at the end? :D |
 |
| Bunny :( Had a feeling the masked man was either the husband or guy on the boat. Also kind of a weird scene to end the episode on. |
 |
| I like seeing Ed and Al when they are younger. I always forget Al wasn't always the big armor thing he is now. |
 |
on 
| I love how Ed was so hungry he was thinking about how fox tastes aha. |
 |
| Kinda boring since I have already seen it in it's manga form. Okay episode. |
| Good backstory of their training on the island. It shows the boys how everything in the world is connected and has its place, including themselves. Pretty rough to do that to young boys but Izumi seems more of a hands-on teacher anyway. The boy at the end does not show up in the manga, so this seems to be a different story line now. |
| This was a nice way of balancing between past and present. It definitely focused more on the former but I mean, more backstory time is cool to see. That kid looks super mysterious and interesting and I wonder what he's up to |

| bruh that nice guy was the one who beat the shit out of the brothers... looks can be deceiving wow |
