Next week the anime is going to overtake the manga :( - even the preview now showed more than Vol.26 preview...

Edit (to below): Not everyone downloads every manga scanned and I don't buy magazines.. I am referring to the retail books and the next volume is dated for August.

Epic win episode 9009 over 5.

How many times the table turned around i didn't count, it was like a roller coaster ride :D

Chang May saves Riza by treating her wound with Xinganian Alchemy.

Gold tooth doctor had his deserved transmutation. In the process he became a meat ball, and mustang lost his sight thanks to Bradley and Pride.

So in the end scar will probably get the credit of annihilating Bradley for good.

Too bad, we have a little girl and an animal in the human sacrifice chamber now, May Chang and Shao May to the rescue. <3

Honestly, drop the 9000 out of 5 crap. I love this anime and think it deserves all the praise in the world, but 9000 out of 5 should be done on really rare occasions for mind blowing episodes, not for 5 episodes in a row.

Gonna keep voting this a 1 because the poll is stupid. Just keep it as 1-5 out of 10 because over 9000 hasn't been funny in like 3 years and people have the right to vote it 1 if they didn't like the episode. If you can't handle other peoples opinions, then stop going on message boards.

I am sorry but voting episodes like these past ~5 with 1 of 5 would either mean that the person is utterly biased troll or utterly amazing masochist.


If someone hated fucking amazing episode like this, then he should just stop watching, and stop trobling themselves with this much awesomeness.


Oh and if yo did not notice for past ~20 episodes, the very same person kept rating the episodes as 1 out of one, so yes.


NO ONE in their right mind would rate stuff like this 1 of 5.

I said that before and Ill repeat:
Rating this 1 of 5 is as incomprehensible as rating naruto chapter 5 of 5.

have to agree with fai . . Kennesty , you actually sound like an absolute hater or a troll here . . If you'Re giving this episode a 1 on the base of this poll , then your the most disgusting form of troll i've seen .
And if not , then care to explain what made you rate this episode a 1 . . . Without that , you're just a huge troll . .

Epic. He gave up on his body? Even w/ a useless body like that I'd rather that than scrap metal, you can always bulk up to fight rather than risk not being able to get your body back. But I guess he did make a good choice, but will he be able to win the fight, it seems they all about to become sacrificial lamb.

Great episode. The animation quality is excellent.
Fully-fit Scar vs. half-dead Bradley will be one of the best fights. Should be an equal match (sorry, but Bradley in full health would kill Scar in about 10 seconds).
I like how they explain Mustang's forced human transmutation, cuz they didn't rly do so in the manga. Also, the Homunculi should rightly fear flame alchemy, as it's awesome and blasts away anyone unless they're as quick as Bradley...
Not gonna like waiting a week for the next ep...

Also, what's with the 1/5 scores? This series is epic. If you hate the 9000/5 thing, then just score the episode 5/5 ^^

I read through some other forums discussing this episode and I gotta admit, the part when Roy went blind just wasn't dramatic enough. He acted a bit too calm though it may be because he was in shock.

That long stare between Scar and Bradley was a bit awkward...they should have cut out that scene.

Honestly, it looked like Bradley was pinning down Roy for sexual assault for one second. -_-

And the fact that the anime throws out Mustang in the rest of the scene (and manga) is kind of irritating...I mean, he's blind!

I'll agree with you, the 15-second stare-down between Bradley and Scar was a little overboard. And while the animation was consistently good for the episode, I feel they've kept the character design a little TOO simplistic for some of the characters; especially Scar. Other than these minor complaints, the episode was well-done. About the only other thing I think could have used improvement was the use of its soundtrack; they just used like the same three insert songs that they use 90% the rest of the time (Which I find to be one of the biggest disappointments of Brotherhood in general, which has an overall excellent soundtrack).

Enough ranting from me though; twas' a great episode, overall.

Whether it was Mustang's forced human transmutation and resulting blindness or Al giving up on getting back his body, both were cruel and sad.

At least Riza was saved and nasty goldtooth became a turd.

The back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and so on between Scar and Bradley gave me a headache, but I can't wait to see the rest of their fight next time.

I get the criticism about the poll, but score the episode not the poll. Geez.

I'm impressed every week, everything is just so amazing: the art, the story, and of course the quality, this is the way anime should be done.

OK, this episode took us to the end of 102, therefore:

60: chapters 103-104
61: chapter 105- half of 106
62: chapter second half of 106 - 107
63: chapter 108


Uggh, the math doesn't work out the only way this is going to happen is if they make episode 62 and 63 into one hour each.

Because there is no way they can do chapters 106-108 the way I put it. It has to be hour long episodes, there is just too much material.

Or maybe I'm wrong, and they'll find a way to do it, either way 4 episodes to go, lets all hope they're as good as the 59 previous ones.

It doesn't work out because 107 is ridiculously long (71 pages) and can't possibly fit into half an episode. 108 is rumored to be even longer.

As for the episode itself:

I'm still in shock.

Hell, I read these chapters 5-6 months ago and I'm still in shock.

Scar/Bradley fight was wonderfully handled, and I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of it animated.

Loved Al's decision to come back in his armor body to fight- even though in hindsight it would have been better to just stay by the gate.

But most of all... Roy's blind. IMO that's the biggest "Oh my god!" moment in the series so far, and frankly that says a lot, with some of the emotionally brutal moments in the show. Most major character deaths in anime haven't shaken me as much as Mustang losing his eyesight.

My point exactly. I had to download episode 59 and watch it like several times to understand what's going on...
Dibs to Shinichiro Miki's scream at 11:26 (Roy's voice actor) and honestly, I'm an anime follower, not a manga reader. As for manga like Naruto/Bleach, I follow the anime and never read the manga...but for FMA, it interested me too much so I went ahead to read the manga.

Ugh. How could they blind Roy?


Anyhow, as for the episodes being long, I think there are confirmed rumors that the last chapters of FMA are about 90 pages long. I doubt they can cram everything into four episodes...unless they want to make a movie or something.
