Finally the North.
With all the anticipation having built up Olivier wasn't as impressive as i would have wished. Scar vs. Kimbley was really good though. Really taking up a good pace now.

I love how the snow is animated. It's so dynamic. So is Olivier's hair.

I can't stop my Olivier bias. It was great seeing her animated.

Awesome fight. I wonder if kimblee could use his philosopher stone to heal himself or at least stop the bleeding.

And why couldn't Ed use alchemy against the guy's arm, when he had just made the blade on his automail.

Very interesting episode. Scar vs. Kimblee was very good. Kimblee is an interesting character and there wasn't much of him in the first series.

Woot! the preview shows another homunculus?!

I didn't really like Olivier, way too masculine for a girl if you ask me^^

The Scar - Kimblee fights was awesome, loved how he kept holding on to his hat =P
Too bad he got impaled by that pipe tough, he should just have transmuted that train into a massive bomb and annihilated every living thing on it instead.
A few more civilian deaths will hardly stain his conscience ;)

Wonder how the Sloth fight will turn out, out of the seven sins acedia is by far the one that dominates my life the most ;P

Kimblee vs Scar was totally awesome. I just love Kimblee to death and can't wait for his part to come.

Yay! Olivier! Miles! Buccaneer! They are all the shit! So glad to see Briggs animated, it's easily one of the best parts of the story.

Try TMD Subs, they are a great alternative to Eclipse and they are out now. Better than AoSen's subs -_-

Also, yay for HIM

I like him a lot more too, now that I've seen him animated. His voice took some getting used to because it wasn't exactly like I'd imagined it would be...but now I love it x3 It gives you that creepy feeling and at the same time is very calm, so in the end you think you're just being paranoid because the person speaking is really a gentleman...and then he shows The Grin and you know it's not just paranoia.
...uh, I'm overthinking things again. >.>

Not likely, the manga is probably near its end (looking at both recent events and Arakawa's earlier words about wanting to finish the manga around chapter 100)

Very good episode. I loved both Kimblee and Olivier here: Kimblee is intelligent yet ruthless, and the scene with him scolding machinists despite being grieviously injured was awesome, such willpower. I'm really hoping he won't die too soon, but it doesn't seem there are many chances :(
Also loved there wasn't much SD, not a fan of this (though bear/rabbit comparison was priceless xD )
On a side note, after watching Baccano! had a deja vu during Scar/Kimblee fight: combat on a train with one guy in a sparkling white suit felt sooo familiar :)

Olivier you sexy beast...muhaha, enter the cage Edo.
And YAY MILES! (I wish he talked, but I think I have until the weekend? Looks like it by the ep estimation)

"Smooth criminal" Kimblee is such a jerk. Half of the ep was just him being verbally psycho.

But hey, no complaints. I eagerly wait for the weekend.

Can't get enough of that smooth criminal Kimblee xD
Short but awesome fight between Kimblee and Scar O.o

I lol'd at the snowman they'd done in the past, Ed had the same strange tastes back then xD. (skulls as buttons on the snowman)

And lol I think I've heard something similar to "I've heard the weather changes quickly in the mountains but I never expected something like this.." before xD
(I'm pointing at the latter part, a character not having expected it to be as bad as it apparantly was, think it's been used quite alot in anime/manga, and other stuffs aswell)

Well quite a difference between Armstrong's sister in the original anime and in the manga is quite different, eh?xD
Also, she's one hell of a woman xD
I would not want to meet her on a dark night x)

Ahh, I think I'm going to love Olivier... I kind of want to read the manga now, just to see how badass she is in the original. I'm wondering how things will go now that they're all in the north and such. Snow makes such a monotonous backdrop, so the story better be good to make up for it!

Well certainly the new characters seem interesting, the vulgar Olivier, very much the opposite to her brother who is much more sensitive. However we have just met her, hoping there is more intriguing stuff to come. Nice episode, plot progressed at a good pace in this episode, hmm something is wrong with Ed's automail again, I wonder. Man Scar was great in that fight, albeit it would have bee interesting if they fought at full strength, nevertheless good fight, well what of it anyway. XD

Olivier!! <33333 I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE her, she is too cool. Miles and Buccaneer made their appearances too, can't wait to hear Miles. <3 I love the Briggs arc. Looks like a new homunculus will be making its appearance next episode as well. I don't remember it appearing so early...but maybe it did and I can't remember. Then Kimblee and Scar's fight was great. Gah, I love Kimblee too...

And that wall. It was awesome. It puts the Great Wall to shame in sheer size.

I actually like yelped a little when she came on, no joke. I'm surprised my family didn't say anything...
But, yes, everything about the fine Major General was perfect. Love, love, love her voice.
My girlcrush. It is even larger now.
...If that's possible.

The Scar/Kimblee stuff was great, too. And Buccaneer! Not quite how I imagined his voice, but it fits. Can't wait til we hear Miles!
And of course, we see a certain Homunculus next week. Quite excited about that. He's my favorite after Greed(ling).

Armstrong's original sister, the smallish one that Falman supposedly met, is still in the manga! The anime just took her out, since her role is like ... erm, random passerby. You'll still see her in the anime soon though!

i wonder why too.

Remember how Scar couldn't de-transmute Ed's arm at first, because he didn't know it was made of steel? For transmutation to work, you must first understand it's composition.
