btw ppl, what's with wrath? the one from fma 1, was he kinda like filler character? here wrath is supposed to be fuhrer? ..confusion here =/


Oh, no, you should separate the 1st and the 2nd anime, they're completely different. I haven't watched the 1st one but if Wrath wasn't Bradley, then it WAS filler. Manga Wrath is Bradley. Think of this anime as of a completely different story. If not, you're gonna be confused.


yes it was filler....in the frist one bradley was pride and wrath was ed/al's master's kid


Haha no way xD I hope none of the FMA1 fans will be offended when I say BULLCRAP. Lol.

I need to watch that episode but I want the good quality subs x_X Ehh, be patient, be patient.



Not to mention that FMA1 kept Tucker alive as Rabbit Chimera, with upside down head. Oh and Sloth was Ed's mother thar

As for quality. There are no quality subs for now. The ones that exist well...are almost impossible to understand

Quoting the current subs:
"Not bad but scratch, I get high!"
"Scratch? I blow scratch high"
"What this is?"

XDD Ok, I'm sorry, but I think they reached new heights of Asspulling there XD
As for the subs that are present at the moment - I got through the beginning but I didn't really get the Scar/Silver Alchemist conversation AT ALL. So I turned it off. I'M WAITING FOR HIGH QUALITY LING QUOTES. (Oh, and to be perfectly clear, this is NOT supposed to be jerkass rushing the subbing groups, I'm just stating a fact there :) I figure that if I can't help, I shouldn't at leat complain, yep? xP)

...but actually, I get much more pleasure this way, waiting for Ling to appear on-screen x3
And no, I won't stop talking about him xD I'm sorry.

i know that fma 1 & movie is separated story like it never even happened because it's not after manga, i was wondering because everyone else from homunculis team are the same at this fma too and then there was no wrath, but wrath came out to be fuhrer afterall, so u wont tell me fuhrer will reveal his "true" form or something as this kid..

..at some moment of story? well i guess not...i'm gonna miss this ^ character a bit however, but luckily this, the real version of Fma has some new cool characters instead, take for instance Ling xD

Sadly I wont. Hated that character, voice and anything surrounding his storyline to the core. Hated how stupid Izumi would act around him, Hated his almost abnormal relationship with Sloth/Ed's_Mother, hated him for
and being overall unstable character.

Thankfully his VA does a perfect(that is, different from his FMA1 role) job as Ran Fan(Ling's female guard) in FMA:B, so I can forget how annoying that VA sounded in FMA1...

Agreed. I couldn't stand the little twerp. x___x And that was before I'd even set eyes on the manga. Looking back...FMA1 really made a lot of stupid plot choices compared to the actual manga storyline.

Meh. Oh well. If I hadn't watched it, I wouldn't have read the manga, and thus I would not have heard of the epicness that is Ling Yao. LING. *dies* Damn I loved his introduction in this episode. xD That definitely wasn't your average stray.

...Ok, I'm gonna get mad. I downloaded the freaking .mkv file. What the fuck is matroska? XD Lol.
But GOD BLESS ME, I found a better translation x___X Yesss. I'm gonna watch it and expect me in 24 minutes to come fangirling over Ling x)

EDIT:
Ok, I couldn't squeal because my sister was in the same room Dx Damn.
I'm kind of disappointed that they didn't show Winry's chainsaw scene xP That was a freaking hilarious panel. But Ling more than makes up for it, especially when he opens his eyes x3
Miyano does a great job...yet I can't help but think of Tamaki (Ouran High School Host Club, same seiyuu) xD And the 'I'll follow you everywhere!-glomp-' scene didn't help (everyone who watched the 'my best friend' Kyouya/Tamaki scene knows what I'm talking about XD)
And Ling in the ED *__* Yum-my.

That new opening is nice, but the first one was better. I didn't really think anything of the ending...except that the first one was nicer xD Lol.

ok, what can I say, the new opening was great, really hints at many things to come...

Mei's intro - Its a shame they skipped the mine scenes, but really there would be no way to fit everything in one episode otherwise so i can live with that.

Riza's and Barry's scene - well done, shame they couldn't prolong it a little bit more (telephone scene)

Ling's intro - great, faithful to the manga and honestly I love how they revised the whole geography discussion (background scene against the drawing on the sand from the manga) it was much clearer.

Fight - nice, I love how they handled the 'acrobatics', glad they didnt skip the 'rope catch' scene, overall very smooth and coherent, loved the costume design (found it strange that the 'ropes' were white but its cool)

Ran Fan :3

rabbit trap >.<

Overall Im very pleased with how it turned out, next time it seems we delve deeper into the conspiracy...

Hi, I'm being inconsiderate by not reading anything posted before, watching some other series atm ^^,
so, at last we're deviating a little from the original anime, hurray
and Ling is effin' awesome xD
and Winry is as scary as ever when Ed brakes his arm.. yet another time xD
Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile.
Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(゚Д゚щ) Nope™, probably not.

One a side-note: why are they skipping all of the cool jokes from Mustang?? The part with Barry the Chopper was very funny in the manga.

Am I the only one that found Ling annoying? When I first saw his character in the OP I was hopping for a laid back guy that was semi-serious. I'm a bit disappointed that he's your typical happy go lucky nut case. Other then that and the jumping around, the episode was good.

For the beginning half, he's mostly the crazy, fainting awesome guy. He has a more serious side to his personality though and it shows more and more as time goes by. Can't say much more about him without revealing spoilers, but he's not just the typical nut, lol.

I kind of didn't like this episode.

Not a fan of the little girl and her pet panda.
It's weird that a guy they kind of breezed over a couple of episodes ago seems to be much more important.
Barry's appearance and Roy and Riza seemed totally inconsequential in the way it was presented.
Fight scene was abnormally heavy.
Ling is a little annoying.

On the good side though, Al has a power up, and Miyano Mamorou is always a welcome addition to any cast.

As someone who didn't watch much of the original series, the new characters are interesting, but I felt the episode wasn't that great. The new OP and ED were also decent, but not stellar. It felt like something was lacking for the whole episode.

I remember, when I read that chapter in which he remembers the Gate, I was like 'So...what does that mean...O.O Ohwait, Al just got a power up!'
and I couldn't wait for him to use alchemy without the circle. So awesome x3 I don't know why, but for me Al > Ed.

Episodes are becoming very interesting & entertaining to watch now that it is fully onto new manga material.

Quite enjoyed this episode, and not having read the manga was introduced to a whole heap of new characters which spiced it all up for me.

Not very happy about the new OP, with the previous being my favorite from any anime to date, but alas it had to happen eventually.

xDD Such dark thoughts. You see, no one here ever suspected ANYONE of wanting to kill a panda. It's a well-known fact that pandas are unkillable.

Don't worry. I'm assumed the same thing and now after rewatching it, it was kinda obvious that he has a thing for weird alien pandas.
