Anorectic Al and the past from Bradley (like Battle Royale combined with mad scientists). Nice not to suffer through forced humor this time. Overall, a good episode.

Excellent episode, and epic as ballz (best way to describe it, lol)!!! This episode even had some nicely added humor... not sure why but when Ed kicked Envy's tooth out made me lol.

Ling/Ed fighting Envy - good.
Ed/Envy talk - gooooood.
Bradley scene - *__*
Ending scene - AWESOME.
Poor Alphonse. Soomehow, I've always liked him better than Ed xP

Oh look, they've decided to settle for 63 episodes : O
Anyways, on to the episode at hand : >

OH SHI-
O.o
Disgusting >.>
I didn't expect people to be screaming for help inside Envy o.O
Eww~
That part was purely disgusting : /

The part with Al following Gluttony to meet Father was .. a bit different, but really, FMA:B is so much better than the original anime FMA-series O.O

Oh, back into Gluttony's stomach.. Hey Ed's actually a quite smart guy after all. Although he's got to have quite some resolve to do this kind of thing o.o
Oh shit, Ed is awesome, goddamn it, I can't deny it anymore : D
Oh look, there are two gates, and.. AL!? So.. Al has to open the gate to get his body back.. but gee I dunno man, I wonder if I'd want a body like that, even though it's probably better than a suit of armor... Oh well, he could have a great feast to get some meat on his bones anyway : D
Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile.
Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(゚Д゚щ) Nope™, probably not.

Damn near perfect episode. One of the best single episodes of the year along with the first three episodes of EoE, Episodes 12 and 3 of Bakemonogatari, Episode 12 or Tokyo Magnitude, and whatever episode the 1st Scar vs. Elrics battle was. No complaints at all. I'm totally fine with the justification of having Gluttony's stomach be so sparse if they were going to do this much fluid animation in the latter portions of last week, and the beginning this week. Nothing irritated me. Very good. Very, very good.

Awesome episode =D

Cool to see how Bradley was made and why he's not all sinister like all the other Homunculi.
Poor Al, sitting there in a white room with nothing to do but stare at that closed stone door.
Can't wait for the next episode :D

Awesome, I agree completely, especially on the part with Bakemonogatari : >
And btw, this might just be me, but.. I rarely see you noteDhero make a full post without a single complaint, so this episode is indeed awesome : D (Sorry if I've missed any other 100% positive posts you've made ^^;)

The funny thing is that's not even true, so anyone "spoiled" by that idiot will hopefully see this and be relieved.
Calling people who just stated what he saw as an idiot? On top of that, saying that what he said is spoiler is even worst. Did you even watch the whole episode yet?

Anyway, I am having a curious question about what is the meaning of having Ed's father looks so similar to the 'FATHER'.

Maybe Ed's father was the first Homunculus (or some successful failure?) A spare for Father who was responsible for the destruction of Xerxes?

oh man the pace was so perfect I swear. Better than all the previous episodes so far...
"...our faces marked by toil, by deceptions, by success, by love; our weary eyes looking still, looking always, looking anxiously for something out of life, that while it is expected is already gone – has passed unseen, in a sigh, in a flash – together with the youth, with the strength, with the romance of illusions.” - Joseph Conrad ('Youth')

Great episode, the start with the actione was exquisite. Really good animation, the revelation about getting out of there was good, really well explained. Very coherent, Father for Homunculi is Al and Ed's father, I wonder what they will be like when they find out, that scene should be epic. A good past on the Fuhrer, how he was made Homunculi as well. The end bit short of any better words was epic!!!!! I loved that, best anime around by far!!!

That was a great episode, I really cant think of any faults. Im really happily surprised that this remake is turning out better than the original. I cant wait for the next episode, that looks like it could be just as good if not better, but I'd better not jinx it.

I still can't believe how different the first series was compared to this.

This episode and this whole series has been nothing but pure awesomeness. The first series was a masterpiece to me, but having not read the manga and not knowing how different it was until this series came along really changed my mind. THIS series is a masterpiece and I eagerly await every episode when Sunday rolls around.

The episode was awesome, I thought they would end up in front of Father, but I guess that comes in the next episode. It's also nice to see some background on Bradley.

That ending was definitely EPIC.
It didn't help that the ED song faded in as soon as he busted the door open.
(Since I love the song and it can easily make me shed a tear)
Now adding that ending for this episode, it was hard for me not to cry. That was really touching.
Ed was so BADASS with that line and his pose. Lovely.
And like the others...I'm starting to really LOVE this version of the series. :'3
I mean, I really loved the first one, but this is turning so great that it might even surpass the first one. x'3
Wewt!
Now, I really should go read the manga! xD
