| I really enjoyed this episode, just didn't expect the case to be solved in one episode. The lady who always appears at the end seems to be one of the main villains, right? Aside from the "father" she mentioned. Speaking of father, I wonder where Ed and Al's father is? Ed said his father didn't even come to their mother's funeral. Hmm... Anyway, I find it funny to see so many people intent on creating new accounts just to write bad comments on the forum and rate badly as well. What an admirable determination~ |

| Rose aiming the gun at Al and everyone getting shocked that the shrimp's the FMA was hilarious. The escape was not funny tho. I didn't like how comedic that fight was the first time. 3/5 episode. |

| Too hardcore battle shounen. Maybe some other time. Out |
| Considering I watched the 2003 version of this less than a week ago, I can appreciate the crash course recap. That said, I'm so glad I got to watch 03's interpretation first because it went above & beyond on first impressions with this arc. |

I don't think I've seen an episode with so many 1 star ratings before.
What do people not like about it?

| @0ssi 0ssi said: O que as pessoas não gostam nisso? I can think of at least five reasons: 1. FMA03 and the manga present this story in a superior way, leaving this episode weak in light of those two approaches; 2. This episode is redundant and rehashes episode 1, whether in the jokes or in the impact of the brothers' introduction. In this case, the problem was that the production team made episode 1 that way, parading off of episode 3, but this episode is the one that "pays the price" for this mistake. 3. It is thematically loaded and touches on themes that may displease certain audiences. Personally, I see this as a positive point, but those who can't grasp the themes and poetics of the episode may find it somewhat inconsistent or gratuitous. 4. This is one of the episodes with the worst direction and storyboarding. It's quite different from the others, and some even speculate that it was made at a different stage of production than the other episodes (hence the reason it's different). It's a technical aspect that displeases many people. 5. He changed the order of the original events (and cut others) that occur in the manga; this seriously undermines the interpretation of the narrative, especially regarding Edward's character and his motivations. In my view, this is one of the main flaws, and it's clear from the public discourse surrounding this episode that these flaws had an impact on people, almost always for the worse. These 1 ratings reflect outrage over some or all of the points I mentioned (there must be other reasons besides these), not so much the story itself. |
