That was an amazing episode, yeah I thought Ed had seen her before as well. Only now he knows it's his mother sort of!

Finally a good episode again, but Alphonse is still such a retard in this show... always stands between the enemy and his ally and makes things worse this way.

Al kinda reminds me of Suzaku from Code Geass, except that I really like Alphonse, more so than Ed :3

A really good episode in all

So Marta (Martel?) really did get a chance to tell Al that the leader guy is a Homunculus! That's good! Poor Marta (Martel?) though...

Geez that ending! Rose talked! And Wrath has a weakness for babies crying...Hmm...

I wonder what Scar is going to do about his arm...Maybe he can get Winry to make him an automail one ;P

So ALL the Homunculi are there? Wow =O That's a lot of Homunculi...

Why didn't Ed notice before that the secretary at least looked an awful lot like his mother? Even Winry knew that she looked like his mother...


Exactly!!! That's what I've been thinking this whole time. He and Al saw her on Yock Island with Pride disguised as the leader guy (Fuhrer?) and had no reaction to her, then Winry sees her and knows right away that she looks just like Ed and Al's mom. Then Ed sees her again in this episode and even then it takes him some time to notice. It wasn't until Sloth/secretary said "my son" that he finally recognized her.

Rose talked! Well, she was only mute because of her emotional trauma, not because of physical damage. But that's still cool that her trying to save Ed was enough to bring her voice back. I hope that she doesn't get killed by Wrath!

And the fight between Crimson and Scar was awesome. It surprised me when Scar blew his own arm off. I wonder what the heck Al is going to do to not get blown up?? If that seal gets damaged...!

Finally Ed knows about Sloth! I still disagree what people say about how Ed didn't notice, because he clearly did notice the first couple of times he saw her. But there was no reason for him to think much of it until they learned how homunculi were born. Al tried to talk to Ed about it and what they transmuted, but Ed quickly silenced him. I think he noticed all too well, but was in total denial until now when forced to face the truth.

Episode that does not regret much the previous one, also here the exciting moments and twists are to be appreciated, the mysteries are not lacking but as usual some are revealed. The drawings and the animations are good as quality, the promo is tempting, hard to resist and not to look at once the next episode. :P

So the head humonculous is a beast he accidentally made of his mom, that seems sorta Freudian to me . The animation near the end turned kinda comic book
Such junk...

I hope that still image animation near the end isn't because they ran out of budget. There are still 10 eps left lol, don't want them to look bad. Scar vs Kimblee was great, dunno what's gonna happen to Al though... I love Rose's character in this version, mostly because she's an actual character. She doesn't really matter in FMAB.

Looks like Al actually knows about Bradley now. Wonder how long until he tells Ed about him.

Kimbley is such a tool.
Even if you think people as individuals are not special and whole entirety of the human race is pointless, the existence of a person is still not useless, in terms of meaningful relationships...

What's with all those still shots at the end? I'm reminded of what Tristan said in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Abridged Series, "Oh no! The animation budget ran out!"

Another good episode, seems like the series is culminating nicely. Sick fight between Scar and Kimblee, wonder what happens to Al now. Ed has to fight against his mom, tough luck. And it's revealed that there is a person controlling the homunculi. Maybe we see their dad as the mastermind? Would be pretty sick...

enkil said:
oh yea, that's right... wrath doesn't have a physical weakness like all the other homunculus. though he does have an increasing irritation towards baby cries, guess that counts for something.
Izumi mentioned using other bits as well to restore the body. And there are also Ed's limbs. So Wrath may still be vulnerable...

Lust is going on her own, and I have the feeling that this act is not going to end well for her
Apparently she cannot get rid of her human memories. She even went unconscious when reminded of Scar's brother last time. I agree that it most likely ends up killing her since she does not follow "you-know-who's" orders...

The still shots were really weird at the end, felt out of place with the show and made that moment a bit comical, which it should not be at all. Other than that, another great episode and it was nice seeing Rose talk through her trauma and tell Ed to 'move forward', words she treasured when Ed opened her eyes to reality about her boyfriend not being able to return from the dead ages ago.

Only if Izumi hadn't cared too save that monster-Wrath which she thought to be the piece of flesh nd bones which she released from her pussy, that monster wouldn't hv been pain in ass for Ed.
Also..............Al! He must've known by now being a goody-woody nd giving lectures to don't fight how it taste to be the victim of corruption nd evil.

The way that king bradley reveal quickly cuts into the opening is 10/10. Amazing opening transition.

this anime is really sick... how much drama do they still need to make it the most tearful 'soap opera' i've ever seen????? i mean Rose gettin rapped and losing her voice and having a baby?! that's just soooo 'days of our lives'!.... or 'sin senas no hay paraiso'!
seriously, someone should really tell the producers that people who intend to watch FMA want to see an anime, not a televisa telenovela!

don't get me wrong, i still like [not love] this show and i know it ended like 3-4 years ago, but sometimes FMA is really getting on my nerves.... if they had as many fight scenes as drama scenes, it could have been the best anime ever...


I don't know what's bad in drama sequences. Basically, drama is the impetus to most of meaningful fight scenes. Without which the fight scenes may look cool, but a meagre exaggeration. Drama always paves a fork for conflicts, that's the beauty of drama according to me.

2022 rewatch
there wasn't necessary too much wrong with this episode, but i didn't really feel that attached to it either honestly. seeing the other homunculi talk with pride feels almost kinda forced? i personally think that the reveal of bradley being a homunculus came in too late in the story so that could be why.
i may have touched this in a previous episode discussion, but i do not think that sloth's name fits her whatsoever. she doesn't necessarily even show slothfulness like her name suggests. it honestly feels like the homunculi are named after the seven vices just because, while in mangahood there is very much a reason why they are named the way they are. i'm not gonna get into that here, because this isn't the place to. but might as well throw that in because it's relevant.

Why is every episode so goddman heavy bruh. I didn't expect Rose to cry out for Ed but it makes sense cause they didn't physically remove her voice; she was just traumatized. I don't know how Al is okay after having Martel die inside of him. That would break most people. He also should've spilled the beans about the Fuhrer being a Homunculi. I wonder if Al is actually gonna die in this show. That would be nuts.
