is it me or sloth sounds like Madao?

I thought it was just me, it sounded like him to me too. That would be funny if Gendo Ikari was Sloth xD
EDIT: I checked. Yep, we were right :D

Yessss, Sloth! :D
Love the character, and Tachiki Fumihiko was a great choice, even if I wouldn't have necessarily thought of him. (He did Gendou Ikari from Eva, and does Kenpachi from Bleach)
Also loved seeing Miles get to talk a bit this week. I've always really liked that scene with Ed.
And poooor Falman. XD;

Sloth really is what he is. He dull (mentally), has no interest in what's around him and just wants to walk around. Fighting doesn't seem to be something he wants to do!! Yeah!! Great episode.
What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about?

God, Olivier is sooooooooo awesome. I love, love, love her!!! I think Brotherhood makes me love her twice as much as I do in the manga. <3
I really liked Sloth's voice. I always found it kind of hard to picture how he would sound, but it's absolutely perfect for him.

Can't wait for next week and some more Kimblee and Miles.

By the time my excitement of seeing Briggs and Olivier waned, half the episode was through. Poor Falman lol.

Miles looks awesome :D
Dang, just now looking for Miles' seiyu, Wikipedia told me about Buccaneer =_=; I guess it was just stupid of me.

Anyway, about the episode, I just hate that we have to wait till next episode for the conclusion.

9/10; Kick a** episode though, overall.

Man. Other anime may have female characters who are more powerful and ruthless, but as far as pure, epic badassery, FMA has the monopoly. Olivier is right up there with Izumi.

Since the last episode was so good, its amazing how this one managed to be even better... FMA really doesn't let down.

And... Enter Sloth! Argh I wanna see that Behemoth wrecking havoc!

Oh in the last ep discussion I stated how I didn't understand all this Oliver commotion, however this episode they introduce a really nice character! Miles! Really liked the image and personality, I hope we'll see enough of him!

Olivier is so pretty! In every scene she was in, I just couldn't stop looking at her beautiful hair *--* it looks so awesome <333 and I'm used to her voice now. x3 so good!

Can't wait for more! oh yes!~~

Well that's kinda obvious ain't it?
Or at least in my point of view (have not read the manga yet) he's hesitating to tell Olivier because she might just be in cohorts with the homunculus.
Which would put Ed and Al in a quite difficult situation, and which in turn is why they don't tell her everything.
That's my view on things anyway.

Father and the Führer let Ed and Al roam freely although they know what they know about homunculi. They are important sacrifices. Therefore if Olivier is involved with the homunculi she wouldn't be allowed to harm them.
In the case Olivier doesn't know they could win her over.
There really is no benefit in not telling her. It just makes those two suspicious.

Indeed it does, but Ed and Al might've thought it wouldn't be a good idea to tell her.
Or they're thinking something like "OH SHI- if we tell her, maybe they'll start targetting her too! We wouldn't want that now would we D:"? xD

I think it's just that they don't want to risk the top brass like Bradley finding out that they're spreading word of what they know.

Bradley cares about that? He would have captured them if he cared.
They've already massively spread word. The Führer isn't so naive, he thinks they wouldn't. He even released Mustang after he caught him spreading word although he isn't an important hostage.
All in all it's no plausble reason.

I just want to say that the subtitles I watched had Miles speaking random Portuguese about Olivier and it made me laugh loud! :lol

"nao, estava a falar a serio..." ("She was talking to me seriously..")< or something like that

And hell yeah! The eyecatches were Miles/Sloth! *ish good*

Good episode, but the pacing seemed a bit awkward imo. I don't think the dialogue and the battle flowed that well, or at least to be in the same episode.

Bradley doesn't need to capture them, he has Winry under his thumb. Remember the scene with Ed, Bradley, and Mustang where Ed threatened to leave the military and expose the truth to everyone. Bradley made it very clear that if Ed does anything of the sort, Winry's dead. They haven't spread word to other members of the military since.

Subarashii!!

So, Sloth the Homunculus has finally appeared.

Olivier: "And why can't you answer?"
Ed: "Please try to realize..."

That smile of Olivier while saying: "I'll show you how we do things at Briggs." were quite evil :o

"All that stands in our way shall be annihilated. This is the law of the North."

5/5!


Can't wait for next ep~

Now it's settled, I will now officially rate this series... It will get a perfect 10.
But that means I have to drop the original series to a 9, because this one is soo much better.
But the only thing missing is my beautiful and evil Lust... Damn them for killing her off so early >:(

So this is the other homunculus Lust was talking about. I wonder though how come Sloth looks like a clueless homunculus. It doesn't know what's going on around the world. I guess father just ordered him to dig forever?

Okay how will lady Armstrong and Ed beat this guy if bullets don't hurt him. I guess bullets don't really do much to homunculus as they have this awesome regeneration abilities.

Oh and how come Ed can't answer those questions? Was it because he was ordered by king Bradley or what?

Ed didn't answer because, as Armstrong is a member of the military, he doesn't know if he can trust her - she might be in league with Bradley.
