Wow, they really throw you a lot of hints at what's to come in the episode preview and the sponsor part at the end.

Oh god next episode crying time. T_T

oh boy I did love it, the puppy, the drawing, the petals, Al's legs while in bed, Koorogi Satomi as Nina, the child's birth and all the rest - I loved it all.

and yeah the pregnancy part was funny as hell XD

so did Alphonse pass too or what??

i guess he didn't take the exam in fear of being revealed that he didn't have any body.

hell yeah the golden chair didn't fell ^^

Nina is soo sweet, giving Edward the drawing and the time they spent together with Alexander and Al.

i wonder what happens next!?!?!?!

love this series ^^

this episode was really good as well and i also noticed it seemed to go really fast i expected it would be more like see him learning and failing a few times then in the end all turns out well but he already passed the exam so that was really fast i don't know any more what this show will bring.

lol at the birth part but got to say they handle it better then most would at there age i think.

That birth scene came outta nowhere ahahaha. It was nice, though~
The 3rd Hokage ahahaha. Poor Al, but at least his brother passed. Though, the situation was so convenient ahahaha.
Well, time for me to eat first.

Nina is just way too precious. I vaguely remembered this exam period, I really like how this was expanded on in this version. Especially the practical exam, that was glorious.

Can you people stop telling the mood of the next episode? This is supposed to only be about discussion of the episode we just watched. Now I'm going to start the next episode knowing it's going to be upsetting. Stuff like that is supposed to be a surprise.

Anyway, yes this was a great episode. Now when I see Ed with the State Alchemist's watch, I'll know how hard he worked for it and it will make me appreciate it a lot more, and I can think back to these episodes. I love backstory.

Al's legs looked funny when he was in bed.
As soon as Tucker started talking, all I could see in my head was Stein from Soul Eater talking instead of him. xD Lol Chuck Huber

The episode shows very discursive and slow in processing, but the strengths shown by the narrative are still afloat, satisfied. Drawings and set designs not so beautiful, but at least the OST redeems this shortcoming of quality; very nice and catchy, as well as being suited to the context shown. Always intriguing plot, the promo puts anxiety.

The birth scene was ridiculous in an amusing way.

I still want an explanation for Ed's ability to transmute without a circle at some point.

Another decent episode. Idk why, but for some reason the show just isn't grabbing me at all. The pace is weird. It feels like it's ridiculously dragged out, but at the same time is skimming over everything. Like, did we have to spend 5 minutes on the gag birth scene, and then spend like 30 seconds on the alchemy interview?

Hoping it gets better
