insan3soldiern said: Wow, the way this was handled was so much better than the original series. I thought the other series made Al's worries far to melodramatic and drawn out while this was handled very nicely, and maturely, by Ed and Winry. A great episode of bonding for the two brothers and nice development for Winry. Great episode, all things considered. It's interesting how this series seems to be more comedic, yet somehow it comes off as more mature than the first series to me. agree, even when Ed, Scar and Al was hurt they still manage to add some comedic relief and it didn't break away the moment in anyway. i think this is the shows greatest strengths compared to the first season :P |
| The Original did this scene better. Edward seemed too much like a jerk and Alphonse had a right reason to be angry, Edward did start the misunderstanding. It was better in Original, where Edward was sympathetic and ran after Al instead of like this. |

| Honestly, I teared up. And I was also smiling uncontrollably in the same episode. So far, this series has not had any dull moments. I hope it continues like that. |
 |
| It annoys me how Ed and Al didn't really resolve this by talking about it, but instead reminiscing over the past. Al told Ed nothing about Barry. But I guess as Winry said, they're not good with talking about their emotions. |
 |
| a very welll done episode . loved winry in this ep. though . and the bond of al and ed is really something :) |
| al is too naive and gullible. i loved winry in this episode. this anime is proving itself |
| Winry seems like a very nice girl. True onee-san material. I like the bond she has with the brothers. Alphonse's angst is understandable. It cannot be easy to be in his situation. |

| Good episode. I like the way they blended the comedy and the drama. The way they resolved their issues was very brother-like :) |
 |
| I have to agree for once here: this scene was handled FAR better in Brotherhood than in the first series. Not so much because I understand Al better here, but because I understand Ed better here. I thought it was weird how Ed felt so guilty over trapping Al in that armor, but Brotherhood does a much better job at elaborating on that part of it. I almost started tearing up for a bit there. Still, I do kind of miss seeing Al hang with Scar, being that is the moment I realized scar wasn't a villain and actually a cool dude before. It's a fair though - trade one good thing to get another good thing. 'Tis what I was expecting out of Brotherhood, this is just the first time it felt like Brotherhood wasn't getting ripped off in the trade. Hopefully it stays like this! |

Anyways, I love this episode. The part where Winry gets all emotional and lifelessly hits Al with her wrench xD love that, hahhaha. |
| Elicia-chan is soo cute! and that thing with Ed and Al is much more dramatic here than in the 2003 version.. and also Scar really became a grandpa... look at his face! |
 |
| Pretty good episode, the Ed/Al part got me teary, the Winry part made me cringe. I like Hughes and his family, Elicia is just too cute. Scar's part felt intense! |

| A more sensible thing for Al to yell at Ed during that milk drinking scene was that Ed was being ungrateful; he should take care of his body, because Al would drink that milk if he could, but he couldn't, etc. Glad the silly doubts are over with, though. I actually got teary during the "he hates me" flashback. I usually have no reaction to "cute anime kids." But that Elicia two-three scene was totally cute, maybe because I've seen tons of people do that |
| did anyone else cry or |

| Actually liked Winry in this one. |

| Brother's Conflict. But glad that they were able to fix it with the help of Winry. Love the part when Winry hit Al. I have this weird feeling that something s is going to happen with Maes Hughes. Do I need to prepare a box of tissue? |

I have this weird feeling that something s is going to happen with Maes Hughes. Do I need to prepare a box of tissue? If I were to say yes, then that'd confirm your suspicion, but if I were to say no, then I'd deny your suspicion, but one of these is wrong, meaning if I lie, then you won't be prepared, but if I don't, then you'll be spoiled. I'll just say for now that later on sad stuff happens to characters, but I won't confirm or deny that anything happens to Hugh's, winry, ed, al, mustang, frodo, riza, or any other character. |
| I didn't come here to play, I came to win. Now lets play. |
| Nice emotional episode, next episode seems we will have some of the war bacstory. The Ishvalan is alive, i actually sympathize with him. |
 |
| Aaand I cried. That was a beautiful episode. |
 |
| This is the reason because I dislike Al, what the hell is wrong with you? Who would rather believe the words of a murderer who tried to kill you then your own brother, your best friend and a woman who cared for you for years? Winry was right, "Al you moron!" |

| That was a damn good episode, very emotional. I really like these characters. The revelation of Ed's secret was great, as was their "fight" and Hughes' explanation to Winry as to how men's emotions work. The soundtrack was really good too! |
| This episode was so funny, I love how Winry saved the day saying to Al Ed's fear. |
 |
| The situations are combined in different ways but we come anyway, again, at the same point, then there is a lot of difference with the FMA regarding the issue between Ed and Al, just a few minutes more, something quite different is what is going to happen next, the context here in Brotherhood comes much earlier. Narratively was very funny episode, far from the FMA. |
 |
| their brotherly bond is so good. Nice to see them making up...and more of the blonde girl (winry? ) her name keeps slipping off my mind lol 5/5 |

| For some reason this episode hit me hard and made me think of my brother. Great episode! |

| Awww, I wish Winry stays with them :) |
 |
| Hughes is such a gift to this anime and Winry is such a gift to Elric brothers lol |
 |
| Did no-one noticed Izumi and Sig at the train station when Winry arrived? :D Whelp that quickly resolved itself, some words from Winry and some good brotherly bonding and he's back to believing he was actually human and his soul is affixed to the armour. |
 |
| I really loved Winry in this episode! |
| Scar is really fascinating, I must admit. |
| The dynamic between the brothers is really heartwarming. Makes me miss my brother in all honestly. Scar is more than meets the eye. I hope he makes it to the end of the series. |
 |
| Humoristic element of Ed in the hospital, then showing more of Al's doubts, everything mixed in proper proportions and appeared in proper moments. Very good episode. I feel sorry for Elric brothers even more. We knew their past and how they ended up like this, but now we could feel some of their very own emotions, mostly Alphonse's, but also those from Edward's side. |
| scar is a fascinating antagonist |
| Winry was being unjustifiably harsh to Alphonse. She should be more understanding of Al's condition, no matter how tactless his confrontation was. Living in a hollow state, all he had to affirm his existence is someone else's word. I'm sure it was an emotional strain for him. Anyhow I'm glad that it was resolved, albeit rather quickly. I'm really rooting for Scar. One of the better shonen antagonists in recent memory. I hope we'll get to see more of him. 3/5 |
 |
| Edward nearly got screwed because of that one screw but I guess that it's not totally Winry's fault since it was a total accident and it was the one mistake from a commission that took three whole sleepless nights to make. He survived and she fixed his arm anyway so all is well~ She did say that it's less durable but it didn't shatter at all during that last fight so it looks like she was humblebragging a bit too. Alphonse had those conspiracy theory-level thoughts get the better of him and forgot to consider his brother's feelings about his current state as a soul affixed to a suit of armor. Actions speak louder than words but words are important too so I'm very glad that they had managed to talk it out and fix the issue thanks to Winry giving Al the first push after some pep talk from Hughes. Their brotherly bond made me tear up~ |
