the fact that she has a male name bugs me to no end.
there is not a woman in the world who is named Olivier.
i cant help but think its a stupid mistake by the author and everyone acts like theres nothing wrong.
Fandom called her Olivia until the author said it was supposed to be Olivier. There was a lot of arguing and such a long while back.


i still prefer to call her olivia lol

FMA:B is still the best anime I ever seen. :D
I already hope there will be a sequel. :P


i can already tell you there most likely wont be one since this is the manga's storyline

There isn't anything wrong with her name being Olivier, its the author's choice. Its not like she was named Archibald.
On the TV show 'Scrubs' there is a girl named Elliot, which is a predominantly male name.

What exactly did happen in this episode?

Nothing at all, right?

I wonder why they did this... the episode was really slow, it doesn' fit to the fast pacing from before and if the rumors about the number of episodes were true, than they would have a hard time fitting everything in the few episodes they have.


What, the rumor that it would be 63 episodes?

The story covered in this episode is I think through around chapter 64. The ending may very well be around 105 or so. If the rumor of 63 episodes holds true, that's about 41 chapters in 31 episodes. Which means that they'll have plenty of time to slow the pace down.

the story in this ep stopped at the start of 64 and from what i've gathered they've been doing 2 chaps to 1 ep.....except with ishbal :(

Hah, Selim.


Not much to say for this episode, but I am so stoked for the North. :] I love Olivier Armstrong, she is one of the strongest women and characters in this series. I really admire this series in general for having majority of the female characters appear so strong and determined.

Also Kimblee <33333 I love his cool, precision and that sadistic attitude. <333

Well, I've finally caught up in the manga...so I can now officially comment on whether or not they are doing a good job of following the original story line. So far, it's not been too bad.

I guess they have slowed down just a little...I can't wait to see the next episode!!! ^_^

Selim kind of annoyed me... Both his character and his squeakiness... and his naivete too, actually. Thus I wasn't really fond of the episode, haha! Selim will [probably] end up like his "dad", I'm guessing.

I'm looking forward to watching the next episode~ Change of scenery and wardrobe~ Though I don't like the cold... I like Ed's jacket, hurhur. :B Next episode looks awesome!

this is actually the only episode which had 5/5 = 4/5 (excluding the recap epi 27)for this series

for the other episodes , there is a huge margin between the two ratings....

I smell a war in here. Eastern army and now the Northern gate guards too? Damn this is turning to be an interesting turn of events. Now I'm curious to see what's going to happen in the north. That must be the place Ed and Al will get their special training to get more powerful.

About Selim, I really wonder why they did an entire episode about him? Was the purpose only to show that Bradley also has a heart or that Selim will turn to something big in the future.

Really, this is why I dislike half spoilers the most. This episode got me a bit suspicious about Selim and now I'm reading "oh, you'll see he'll be important" every two posts in this thread, so that'll kinda ruin the surprise...

Anyway, the episode was great, though I think the pacing is a bit slow now... Still, the conversation between Roy and Grumman left me once again wondering what the Colonel is planning, the scene where the Elric brothers were with Wrath and his family made an excellent job in building up the tension and... everyone's going up North. I think that'll make a good change of scenery. I'm so happy I still have half of the anime to watch xD

I'm quite enjoying the slower pace, actually. Quite a few interesting things are going on now. My only complaint is the severe lack of Winry.

General Grumman disguise is perfect XD

Kimbley seems to have notice him.

Roy is using his last trump card huh??

Armstrong really is scary sometimes O__O

Selim seems to like Ed soo much :P

yeah despite King Bradley acting heartless, he does have a family after all.

Being the son of King Bradley must be pretty demanding stuff. It's a shame such a sweet boy is the son of that man.

And boy its tough to see Hawkeye being the aide de camp of the leader himself.

Major General Armstrong...related to muscleman Armstrong? She kind of sounds scary though.

Ed and Al with Eastern alchemy? Yes please.
