| The main question I would ask is... why Ed didn't use those spectacular skills while battling Scar or Slicer who were threats to his and Al's lives, but used them freely to catch a thief? |

| edward x winry has began |
| Can't say I was too fond of the way the show tried to establish Winry's maturity by making everyone else incompetent. It felt artificial rather than organic. But I guess clichés aren't that out of ordinary when we're talking about shounen. 2.5/5 |

| Their stopover at Automatown sure was a surprising and amusing one because not only did Winry gather inspiration for improving Ed's Automail and a newfound determination, they also witnessed the miracle of life in a place where mechanical attachments are pretty much all the rage. |
 |
| Fortunaly the childbirth went well, great episode. |
 |
| I kinda hated this ep: Paninya was annoying, Winry opening the watch (seriously, WHY???)... Now that I think about it, it was quite boring imo. |
 |
| winry really shone in this episode! and there was a good balance of comedic and dramatic moments |
| One of the weaker episodes so far. Some funny moments and a good Ed/Winry scene at the end. Everything else felt more like filler although it was also part of the manga. Looking forward to next episode and the introduction of two new characters! Ahenshihael said: I'm reading the manga and watching both adaptations simultaneously and although I prefer Brotherhood so far, FMA1 has its strengths as well. That FMA2 is superior in every regard is YOUR opinion, not a fact. The problem that some people have with your statements is that you don't seem to realize there's a difference between those two.DeathfireD said: It's not that we doubt the series as a whole. It's more like we're surprised/mad that the first quarter of it is utter garbage. No its not. Even the worst episode 2 beats everything in FMA1. Ahenshihael said: There has been constructive criticism in the threads that I read so far. In most cases, you swoop in afterwards and tell them that they are plain wrong. Again, YOUR opinion. That does not make the criticism any less constructive.AtomicNerd said: WHAT constructive criticism? Such thing never happened in FMA:B threads till now. ;Constructive criticisms or comparisons where FMA > FMA Brotherhood doesn't seem welcomed here. Which is a shame, since I thought this was a place for discussion. robbydesu said: I completely agree with you. Sadly you only used this logic to defend Fai and not others' valid opinions against Fai calling them wrong and stupid. Maybe something to think about...And news flash! People are entitled to have their own opinion no matter what it is or however extreme it may seem to be for others. This also applies to how people are entitled to have their own taste and preferences in anime. Just because an individual doesn't like something or he/she doesn't think something is funny, doesn't mean that it'll be the same with others. Ahenshihael said: FMA:B is an amazing series so far, no questions there. And from what I heard much of the later episodes of FMA1 are completely different from the manga, so it's not logical to directly compare both adaptations. However, I think a comparison between episodes covering roughly the same story elements, e.g. comparing Lior arc (Ep3 BH vs. Ep1-2 FMA), is fair and justified. Ultimately, which story or art style you prefer comes down to personal preference. magelet said: Not to mention that we(I) just dont want to see people obnoxiously comparing 52 episode series they saw ~Y years ago to 11 episodes of newly airing anime, just for the sake of nostalgic nitpicking AND THEN getting pissed that someone compared their fma1 to manga in similar obnoxious manner.What you have to realize Atomic, is that the reason why some of us (Fai especially) get so worked up over the FMA:B vs FMA1 comparisons, is that we feel like people are just dismissing FMA:B without giving it a chance because they keep comparing it to FMA1. And that frustrates us because we really think FMA:B is an amazing series so far. noteDhero said: Finally something worth quoting! My thoughts exactly. I don't base my judgement solely on how closely the anime follows the manga. I want to be entertained and if the anime does a better job at it than the manga or another adaptation, I welcome the change. That doesn't take anything away from my enjoyment of the original manga, it just adds to the quality of the animated version.It's strange to me that people who say "Don't compare FMA to FMA:B or the manga" do the same thing, in often the same breath. I also find it weird that people on that side believe that everyone who feels like the show is rushed is immediately comparing it to the first series and not looking at the show by itself. We are totally capable as functioning humans to say "This was not done as well as it was done here," and be looking at them based on their merits as separate shows. Moreover I think it's ridiculous to say that because you liked one show means you won't like the other. These things aren't mutually exclusive. People can like parts of one show and a like parts of another. The problem is when people get into extremes and start talking about the majority as though it is some infallible God. Also, what's the deal with "if you don't like X in Brotherhood, then you don't like the manga". There's a difference between not liking something and thinking that it could've been even better with certain adjustments. On top of that, reading a manga and watching an animated series are two pair of shoes for me. Some things only have to be hinted at or expressed in one frame in a manga whereas an animated version might have to extend on it to make it more accessible or appealing to the viewer. As a last point, I realize that most of these quotes were written more than 10 years ago and that the relevant people may never read my comments here. Still, couldn't help myself... ;) |
| Nothing major happened except Edward x Winry scenes. Meh. 3/5 |

| I loved Winry in this episode a lot, she even did a good job helping deliver that baby. The Don't Forget 3 Oct 11 scene was also nicely done here. |
| Al likes pregnant women and I am not shocked at all |
| good episode >:'3 |
| ''the anime episode we watched maybe we forget in few days.but the experiences when we are watching remain with in us.'' this episode is fine.next episode edward brothers remember their past and meet up with their master.looking forward to next episode. |
 |
| FINALLY, an episode I'd consider good. Winry's actually a decent character when the plot needs her to be and the comedy wasn't abused like it normally is |
| This was also better than 2003's version of this by a lot. There still were a few conveniences that bothered me a little, and also how was Ed so powerful in the beginning tryna catch that girl? If he was always like that why didn't he use that kind of strength against the dude in the 5th lab or Scar? |
| Winry is a badass! Not a fan of rushing character development episodes, but it still emphasized Winry's courage and determination. I hope we get to see her again soon. |

| This was honestly a more light hearted episode, a lot of funny moments especially the tall Ed moment that had me in stitches. Plenty of character development between Ed and Winry especially on Winry's part because we find out why Ed had the pocket watch shut with alchemy. The delivering the baby sequence was amazing and very well handled. And we even got introduced to a couple of new characters there. Looks Scar is a wanted fugitive of the posters are anything to give off and I get the feeling Ed's gonna be running into Gluttony soon cuz we saw his poster as well. |
| I like how even though Ed is an alchemist, he realizes that there are things that are beyond the alchemist's ability and only in God's power. His conversation with Winry also had depth and meaning for both of them. I always love their interactions :") But seriously, Ed's determination is really cool. He doesn't give himself room to cry or grieve, with all the regrets and pain he carries, he continues to fuel himself to move forward. Admirable, really. |
