Now it's settled, I will now officially rate this series... It will get a perfect 10.
But that means I have to drop the original series to a 9, because this one is soo much better.
But the only thing missing is my beautiful and evil Lust... Damn them for killing her off so early >:(
So this is the other homunculus Lust was talking about. I wonder though how come Sloth looks like a clueless homunculus. It doesn't know what's going on around the world. I guess father just ordered him to dig forever?
Okay how will lady Armstrong and Ed beat this guy if bullets don't hurt him. I guess bullets don't really do much to homunculus as they have this awesome regeneration abilities.
Oh and how come Ed can't answer those questions? Was it because he was ordered by king Bradley or what?
awesome armstrongs sister seems like a reliable person
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.
So... If Sloth isn't after Ed and Al, what is he doing so far from Central? What are Father's plans for that part of the country? Also, I loved the talk about races and whatnot.
Pretty good and funny episode.
But i was kind of annoyed by Ed and Al this episode. They were so clueless and useless at times. Either answer properly or don't answer. And if you don't want them to know certain things then make things up... How hard can it be? Also REALLY fcking stupid to tell Olivier about May Chang and even say that they are acquainted. Did they forget she is with Scar, who is an enemy of the military?
These past few episodes seemed so short.
Also that dialogue between Miles and the Elrics at the beginning was really interesting to me for some reason.
Major Miles' voice is Roronoa Zoro's from One Piece.
Ice Queen...Yikes..
Homunculus Sloth' voice is Zaraki Kenpachi's from Bleach.
Invaders coming from ground... Scary
The Ice Queen deserves her title. I wonder if the Elric's can trust her with the secret they are carrying.

There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov
"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."
I liked Sloth. I think I have a soft spot for clueless strong things. I feel like they should've spent more time asking what it was doing/wanted before trying to bomb it to death, since he wasn't actively hurting anyone yet
Good episode though, a return to exciting stuff.
Also that's Zoro's seiyuu for the Ishbalan!! Automatic like.
Miles seems like a cool character, and Sloth is hilarious. "Pain is annoying. Ouch." Ed is going to have to tell Olivier about Homunculi and Bradley eventually... I assume she'll be a great ally when it comes down to it. Same with Miles and all the weapons they're developing.
Very intriguing, who knows what aims the new Homunculus, has a purpose, but the reason is obscure, interesting! While maintaining a narrative very serious, the anime series always has some little digression comic that makes pleasant viewing and also relaxes.
