Ever since I read the manga, I've wanted to see how Envy's true form world be animated. All I've gotta say is-they did it justice! Awesome and grotesque!

Hmmm, those were some great plot developments and animation. That's how a shonen series should be handled, dynamic, well-developped, well-executed and with a good setting. Next ep is the fated reunion, can't wait to see it.

I agree with noteDhero though on the fact that the comedy was (and most of the time in FMA is) bad and the story with the little Chinese girl (don't remember her name, but I don't think it really matters) was ridiculously cliché. But the rest was very good at least.

I believe the phrase, "The shit has hit the fan" is appropriate for this episode. The situation at central is just crazy. I can't even imagine how things will resolve. Mustang...Hawkeye...the rest of the gang~ ;_;

God, I love Edward and Ling.

Envy is ew.

Series has been excellent, even with a few rewrites and deletion from the manga (I know, quite comparing it to the manga). I really, really want to know how Ed get's out of Gluttony now.
What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about?

Episode was pretty awesome. I really wonder how Ed and Ling will get out of Gluttony's stomach. Also at the same time, there's this fully transformed Envy that's causing them destruction. An alchemy based Gate of Truth huh? Damn this father is pretty much a total badass alchemist for doing that.

Okay so Bradley's plan to station Mustang's guys into different places and making Ross his personal assistant was really clever. Well he's the president so he could do whatever he want, lol. Fuck I wonder what's next on this.

Also, I love Gluttony just because he acts like a clueless child. He was sitting with Al like they were chilling, lol. I also loved Scar and that small girl. I guess Scar is the type that is really good but is shy to expose it, lol.

-Elric Telepathy = WIN
-Edward pretending to be leaving = So cute, he's such a softie
-Eating leather. I wonder if that's possible. = WIN

Man Envy turns out to be one ugly bastard there.
I assume that Al will be meeting his 'father' in the next episode..
This is going to be fun!

It was an entertaining episode. I would like to know more about the military's role in all of this.

Also I've always had a feeling that Edward's father is the one behind all of this. Maybe I'll get to find out soon.

Envy's true form is... freaking creepy!
Lot's of interesting revelations in this episode too. The Ishbal war was started by the Homunculi, not by accident, and since that long ago, they've been moving ahead with their agenda, which I'm not sure what it is yet, using the entire country as mere puppets. I didn't really get why Wrath is keeping Roy alive either. "To make you understand where you stand." is far from being a good reason. But heck, they're dismanteling is team and... Riza as King Bradley's assistant? My jaw dropped right there.
And Gluttony is the failed attempt of creating the Gate of Truth. But... how the heck will Ed and Ling get out of there? Also, why would Father want to recreate it? (Oh, and Gluttony is so dumb he gets kinda sweet at times xD)

i lol when Ed was trying to leave Ling Yao behind.

each step he's saying he's serious yet he always looks back XD

did they really ate the shoe O____O

guess it is for survival after all.

Shao May and May Chang backstory is lovely :)

so Envy actually started the civil war in ishbal huh?

freaking bastard

im surprised he didn't mentioned about killing Hughes(maybe later one??)

wow Envy is a monster O____O

seriously wtf is he?!?!?!

hope Ed and Ling would destroy this monster.

so Kain, Breda, and Falman got transferred out?!?!

and what the Hawkeye becoming an assistant to King Bradley????

freaking bastard.

so Al is gonna see the "father" of Homunculus huh??

be careful Al!!!

BTW, have you realized that Yoki is Franky from One Piece??

I really do hate CG, but Envy was pretty good. Loved envy's monologue. Gluttony is just like a child,he doesn't have enemies (Mustang aside) he just wants to fill his guts,I like those little moments where bad guys aren't really bad guys If I could change something about the series it would be May,Yoki and Xiao. At the moment they have no real importance to the series except for may being able to heal Scar and that's it,and Xiao is just an unmemorable mascot.

I knew Envy was the creepiest guy there was.

The reassignments are a big stroke, but I don't get why they just don't imprison Mustang?

Envy's true form is creepy as hell. And I couldn't help my giggle from that horrid CG. They did a nice job covering it at some parts though by drawing over it, but still.

I find Al and Gluttony sort of teaming up kinda hilarious.

Fantastic episode omg

Elric telepathy hahaha. I got the creeps when Ed found Al's arm, though. I spent half the episode being paranoid about Ling being Envy because I still don't understand how he remained whole while Al's hand is severed. What was cool was the little clues about Envy's real form, which I noticed last ep, and hoooly shit is he an ugly motherfucker. I loved the creepy little heads.

The panda stuff was just dumb wtf, beyond ridiculous. I find Sloth more cute than that little Xing girl anyways.

The best part of the episode, though, was Roy's situation. His plots are usually the most intriguing ones. I like "two boys try to find their bodies," but I LOVE "ambitious officer tries to become fuhrer only to realize whole system is corrupt." The music during the reassignments was awesome and really amps you up

lol. it explained why it was so small. but it couldn't possibly be that smart: eating with chopsticks and fighting and clinging to Al.
Couldn't Ed have used his alchemy for going through that sea of blood?Make like a solid wave on which they would stand which continues forward.I expexted them to say how bad the boot tasted, but they didn't.
And Envy... how???
I thought Ed had left Als arm behind, but then you saw that piece of cloth around him, where did he get that from by the way? From one of his bandages if he had any?
So that friend of Grumman is like that.. that's kind of sad. Why are they all like that, Helping King Bradley?
