| So, the flashback comes first huh, and it was speeded up. I hope the next in Liore they also speed it up, because it's gettin' boring. I want Ling ! |
 |
| There was something about the animation in this episode that was weird. Hopefully it will be just a one-episode thing, like ep 4 of Gurren Lagann. The preview looks like the animation will be back to normal for next ep. Azumizai said: I have to say... Alphonse getting eaten by the gate is 10x creepier to me than it was in the other anime. I agree. And the thing with the giant eye is new. |
  |
| Some same things were shown in the original FMA, but plenty of ew material too. Ed showing off at the examinaion was cool too. Nice episode. |

Yata-sama said: Bones failed completely with design and backgrounds, they're horrible. Story isn't great too, too rushed imo. QFT I find this new series pretty boring honestly and I was a HUGE fan of FMA's first series, I got all the DVDs and watched every episode at least 12 times, but for the life of me I couldn't even get excited about this new series :( |
| I was really drawn into this episode and couldn't believe it was only 24 minutes because of how glued to the episode I was. The story is moving at a fast pace, but I like it that way since I've seen the first FMA anime. |

Tensaiga said: Let's face facts: 112% of people watching this series watched the first one and a good number of those read the manga as well. Not me. I didn't think of it as fast paced, I liked it. I got to see Winry! She's a cutie, I was spassmin' when it showed their mother in that horrible zombie state. Poor kiddos. |
 |
| I do not remember the first couple of episodes being as emotional as this in the previous anme, however I did drop it so there you are. All in all it was a good episode, very emotional and more of an explanation etc, very fast paced but there is nothing wrong with that, fits in perfectly. |
| great episode and good flow of action mixed with comedy |

| What brotherly love there is.. Really.... This is better than the 1st series... Animation, Sound, follows more the manga, characters > 1st season... This really looks like the fix of the first series... |
     |
| Wasn't a bad episode. I'm liking Miki Shinichiro as Mustang. Winry was quite cute in this episode. It's probably gonna take a few more episodes before I can get into it fully. |

AndreAtomic said: Oh btw, Rosa looked hell diferent damn couldn't agree more... looked kind strange |
| pretty good recap of the first series. this animes is turning out way better then i thought it would |
| ye kinda borrin |
 |
| Amazing. The ressurection part was really well made and really intense, it gave me goosebumps. |
 |
| After I finished watched the episode, I just thought one thing : - Wow, the gate is really amazing, They made it beautifully, very different from season 1 and 2. See in the difference in the first season and the second one. In the first there are lots of eye and mouth smiling everywhere (It's so creepy, ya know), then in this gate there just one big gray eye. XD (the eye is so cool !) "I'm an existence that you folks like to call me 'world, in other words 'the universe', in other words 'God', In other words 'truth', in other words 'entirety', in other words 'one', and I'm you" Wow ! |
 |
| Wow, watching the whole part where Edward is brought through and learns everything was really neat, it certainly cleared up a lot of questions for me. Overall since I knew the story it wasn't a particularly strong episode for me, but it certainly wasn't weak or irrelevant. |
 ✾✾✾ if only we could be reborn ✾✾✾ |
| Watched it for the first time since last June or so, forgot how intense the second half of the episode was. I mean, look at the look in Ed's eyes while he's sitting in the wheelchair! |

| I'm officially into this series. This was a great episode. I'm kind of understanding the plot. I wonder what happened with the thing they created or who killed it. Can't wait for next week! |
| I love this series. Not as good as the original mind you, but I still love it. Cant wait to watch Episode 3 this weekend :). |

| I love the shared monologue between Roy and Riza. Vic's younger Ed was a little grating, but younger Al on the other hand was perfect. |

| Finally after the big hiatus my wait for the dub has been rewarded. This episode was kind of different from the original, and I am interested in this Truth character. I hope we see more of it because the gate always confused me. Next episode looks like a scene for scene remake though. |
| My anime list |
| This series just feels like it's rushing, not at all a realistic pace like the previous show. I'm rather disappointed, really. |
| The English Dub of this is even better than the Japanese Dub..(minus Al's Girly voice) |
 |
| Wow I actually liked this episode mainly because I haven't seen the first season and I have no idea as to what happened to the Elric brothers in the past, but now I know something about them, lol. I was wondering though about how does Elric do Alchemy without that circle thing. Did he learn it when he was in the other dimension when he was still a child? And also, I kinda like that Winry girl. I hope she appears in the future. Oh and that thing they created that was supposed to be their mom? Is it still alive? I wonder, I wonder. |
| Nice episode, but i prefered the first series. Mostly because they mentioned winry's parents death and there's more drama because of that too. |
| It was a great episode nonetheless, explaining how things went in Ed and Al's past, it's quite the tragedy that happened to them anyway. Onto Episode 3 ♥ |
| Didn't cry this time around, but it was still very emotional. I think they did a better job with Ed's reaction to everything this time. |
 |
| yeah seems like they rushed through this so far cause most people have seen it already in the first anime. i don't i mentioned before how cool the ending animation was. plus the song isn't half bad either. |
| ahh it was alright i suppose |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Really good episode! Liore Next! |
| Al's face during the Ed/Winry moment. =)) Should I have watched the first FMA before this? |
| [insert awesome signature here] |
lanachan said: Al's face during the Ed/Winry moment. =)) This. xD Great backstory there. I wonder what was that black thing they summoned. |
| They showed us matter for what we got for like 40 eps or so in the original FMA. For everyone who didn't watch FMA this is probably too much information, but probably this time they want to concentrate on things other than the matter many of us already know of. By the way, Ed's eyes really looked more "dead" than "burning", but what ya' know. |
  |
| hmm....is it me or was this a lot less dramatic than the 2003 version? probably due to how rushed it was though. |
| Loved it, awesome second episode! :D |
 |
Meritas said: By the way, Ed's eyes really looked more "dead" than "burning", but what ya' know. I'm not sure what you are talking about here. The scene where Mustang said he'd join showed Ed with eyes with absolute determination, like he's found a purpose. I really liked how they handled this actually, particularly the scene where Ed met "The Truth", him saving Al, the scene between Winry and Riza. Pretty awesome. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| They showed their past pretty early, good idea. |
| Great episode they managed to put the past in a very compact way with explaining all the main points of it and IMO it might even be better put in picture than the original! Liked the global story behind it quite compact quite good pas speed of the story and just the great FMA feeling to it! Up to the next episode! Seems we'll be seeing the episode where the original started! |
 |
| they manage to speed things out without making it rush or so :P the animation outside their house when they're about to perform the transmutation is freaking amazing! showed how Ed and Al tried to transmute her mother. Ed talking to "The Truth" which they didn't give an entity in the first season. did he learn how to transmutate because of that?? they didn't explain that much in the first season but it's probably the same. Roy Mustang and Riza as well as the old lady saw the transmuted circle. her mother looks more disturbing O_____O Winry talking to Riza at the beginning is much more fitting than they meeting towards the end. wow Ed look like a broken mess there compared to the first season. it seems Ed and Al went straight ahead to Izumi and studied with her without needing to go to Hughes(funny thing is Hughes first met Ed in the first episode). and wow Ed vs King Bradley face to face!! as soon as Ed drew the lance to his face King Bradley already drew his sword in an instant O__O King Bradley seems to be more dangerous this time around :P so he does recieve the "Fullmetal Alchemist" title from him just like in the first season :P it seems they're cutting alot of fillers this time around which is understandable since they want to go straight to the point. now we're off to Liore :) amazing episode :) |
| pretty good, but it REALLY RUSHED the details of Edward's PAST. I feel this episode coulda been split into 2-3 episodes lol. Lots of DETAILS like training with Izumi, the Alchemy test, and the letters from Edward's dad to Mustang, etc....... that were shown in the Original were breezed through or overlooked. Once again, It's a darn good thing i saw the Original. So i'm not lost at all. |
 張大です for 張大勇督察 |
| great episode. 4.75/5 |
 |
| I stopped watching FMA after 22 episodes because I knew by then I'd understand FMA:B and I'm so glad I skipped it to this! It's brilliant! |
