| Perfect Owned for Raven He deserve it. and Olivier keeps getting more awesomeness! *o* agh how i hate Winry in this episode r_r usually i dont have nothing against her, but agh cant complicate things more u_u |
noteDhero said: I don't really see how she's any different than the first season. Since she's being used as point of manipulation for Ed and Al, she's more irritating here than the first series. She's the typical not-important-even-though-they-try-make-it-seem-so love-interest. Well, I think it's because she's more important to Ed and Al, and their relationship is strengthened. For much of FMA1, she kind of came off as a third wheel. |

orangehouse said: Holy crap o-oll Now they have a hostage Well Winry's more or less been a hostage since Bradley told them about everything actually, since he said at that time that something bad might happen to their close ones if they go around telling people about the plan, although now it's slightly more obvious. ^^; poketonip said: HawthorneKitty said: ...I don't get why people are so overly-excited because of this episode... Maybe cause it was kinda awesome and we (I) haven't read the manga. Ahahah~ To be honest though, I was expecting Raven's death in the end of the previous episode. |

poketonip said: HawthorneKitty said: Maybe cause it was kinda awesome and we (I) haven't read the manga....I don't get why people are so overly-excited because of this episode... Hell, even if you have read the manga... the Raven death was even more badass this time. |

ArnoldK said: Well in a way I agree that she is kinda important to Ed and AL but I rather agree with noteDhero that she is the typical not-important-even-though-they-try-make-it-seem-so love-interest. I only see her as just a side character in the series, nothing more or less.noteDhero said: I don't really see how she's any different than the first season.

| Loved the episode allright, still found it funny to see that GENERAL Raven went down that easily and fast, was also just a sword vs gun fight, no use of alchemy AT ALL, what I would expect out of a general, but ah well ^^ |

ArnoldK said: I liked Raven's death. And like someone said earlier, the way he kept touching her was like asking for his head to be smashed.poketonip said: HawthorneKitty said: Maybe cause it was kinda awesome and we (I) haven't read the manga....I don't get why people are so overly-excited because of this episode...

| Hohenheim flashback especially photograph session & departure is nicely done. At least he is not bad as Ed viewed him. Olivier slashing Raven & let him consumed by concrete proves that her badassery is not just a talk. On the other hand,when Miles informed that Raven is "missing", Kimblee does not give a shit about Raven instead have given authority by Bradley to act on it's own if something happen to Raven is very interesting. Finally, |

| Every time Raven got a little too close to Olivier, I felt something coming. But it didn't. Until... :D That was just badass how she made him a foundation for the base. I was kinda hoping/expecting Miles to challenge Kimbley to a duel as soon as he was told about Raven. Alas. We'll see that sometime I guess. Scar's going soft. He didn't kill those soldiers. Possible... *EDIT: On second thought, don't confirm it for me. I wanna be shocked next week. Or disappointed if both my ideas are wrong. |

Touching her allover and taking command of her soldiers in her fortress... Death Sentence! As she obtained the informations she wanted, there was no use for him anymore. If she can cover up the fact that she killed him, there is no downside. |

Zilpzalp said: There isn't? Well, the Crimson Alchemist is now free, I think him being under control of Raven was the better option. I'd have to agree with that. I went 'Nice job, Olivier. SEE WHAT YOU DID THAR' when Zolfie said he's free to act on his own, but I still think she couldn't have done anything else. And it was just so awesome xD |

| Olivier is fucking badass. I love her. Also, the segment about Hoheinheim in the beginning surprised me, I didn't know he was that emotional. :O Kimblee... sigh. >3< |
     |
| Where I come from there is saying that goes like this "Whoever that have a tail can go through fire" I think the Elric brothers should have think about this before embarking on such dangerous mission. |
| loved the episode.. i keep wondering when we're gonna get that thing with risa x.x I WANNA SEE THAT D< |

It was the combination of that oil and the cold. But I guess for a normal human. Still... I was kind of disappointed seeing him not rip them apart to pieces. @ suigetsu00 @ Oosran You guys know, don't you?! :P Well, it's a hunch. Elric brothers run into Selim at the library. They meet Bradley at his home. It could be anything but I thought it was significant or at least forced. Then (actually I'm not sure if it was before or after but..) Mustang and Bradley's conversation in an episode. Bradley tells him not to worry about Selim. Dunno why but it was odd to say the least. Also, everybody made a big deal about a tattoo on Hawkeye's back. I just had a hunch, that could be the tattoo of ouroboros. But I read it's the secret to Roy's alchemy. I immediately stopped reading that; didn't want it any more spoiled for me. Still the idea that there is a connection between Ouroboros, Hawkeye's tattoo and Roy's flame was intriguing to me. Now it all looks so innocent to be something so evil. Even if not completely, I dismissed the ideas at the time. Raven mentioned Pride in this episode. So I started thinking. Who could be the last homunculus? They could introduce a new character, like that doctor. Detour here, that doctor... *slaps himself* Who knows how Arakawa's mind works. These writers are twisted people. Or maybe I'm just pareidoliac. |

| another hommunculi was shown n the shadows of the cave |
| Do we really need to praise Armstrong anymore than we have already? Of course, she has been created perfectly in the anime adaptation. Armstrong is fraking awesome. |
 |
| Know what? Now I kinda started seeing Armstrong as the female Kamina from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (Yes, you should know who he is.) xD |

| Epic! Awesome!! Raven got what he deserved! who said u can keep touching her hands then threat her with your ***ed up authority? Scar, Kimblee, Sloth, myesterious Homunculus(Pride?!), Envy, Miles, Olivier and Mustang... this is getting really awesome! "The Fuhrer President was very worried to hear of the situation." "I'll be buying all of those flowers." Can't wait for next ep~!! |
 When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. |

Oosran said: Know what? Now I kinda started seeing Armstrong as the female Kamina from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (Yes, you should know who he is.) xD I dunno about that. She's a lot more... serious than him, I guess? Her badassedness was over the top, but it was played straight. |

You're correct. The tattoo on Hawkeye's back is the secret to fire alchemy and it's different aspects of it. This website has the explanation of her tattoo. I think it has been posted a a few times already on MAL. http://angelalegna.livejournal.com/18768.html |

They are both badass, but in totally different ways. They are comparable in the total ammount of badassness, but you can't compare those two as two characters. Kamina is much different from her, and in my opinion much more badass (in order to be badass, you HAVE to be reckless). I know, I know, they can't really be compared like that, it was just a thought I got. And of course, Kamina's always ahead of everyone else when it comes to being badass : > |

| Olivier is so awesome. Raven got owndizzled. Kimblee lets the Elric Brothers know that Winry's life is in the Fuhrer's hands. |

Yeah because Armstrong is an actual character, Kamina is nothing but a walking plot device. Really enjoyed this episode, wish i got to it a little sooner though. |

| Hell yes Olivier! I was really looking forward to the part where she slices Raven and it was so satisfying. That guy was annoying. Can't wait for the next episode :3 |
 |
| this episode was pretty nice....glad to see winry back in the show :P i knew raven was going to get ripped up sooner or later but buried in the cement LOL what a way to go....i want to see some crazy stuff go down in the tunnel! and i cant wait for kimblee to go down c: |
| Loading Image... |
| im late to the party, but this episode was once again awesome, and Olivier knows how a real badass should acts 5/5 http://gamesmind.wordpress.com/2009/12/18/fullmetal-alchemist-36-foundations/ yayay |
Zilpzalp said: I haven't read this part of the manga yet but if King Bradley had sent Raven to Brigg's, his sudden disappearance should raise his eyebrow that something happened to him. Am I the only one who actually thinks that killing Raven was a dumb move? Looks like you are all praising Olivier for that... But since this is FMA, it just might have slipped his mind. |
| What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about? |
| somebody please tell me how many episodes are already aired? |

| erm i dunno so i wanted to know if this one was last? O.o |
| Well it came out just a little less than a week ago, so 36 is latest yes : > |

| damn i so didn't want to hear that thanks anyway |
| yes i love olivia she cut raven up yup she a g^^ 5/5 |
 |
| Fantastic! Every once in a while a great episode seems to show up, if only the rest of the series was on this level... |
 |
| Roy in a suit. <3 |
| Dutch anime blogger with a love for Ikuhara's antics and proper storytelling. |
| Oh fuck, Winry's screwed. |
 |
| Olivier is awesome. Need I say more? Watching her deal with Raven was just epic to watch. This was another fantastic episode. I wish Winry would stop getting "caught"... but I guess it can't be helped since she doesn't really know much about... a lot of things. D': |
| I rolled so hard at Oliviers "I want to cut him" in her head. Can't wait to see retribution for Kimblee. I find him annoying as hell. |

| I'm actually glad Winry is there. I would rather have her there so Ed can keep an eye on her to make sure she's safe instead of Winry being in rush valley not knowing if she's safe or not. Must watch next episode. |
| Yeah, Ravens death scene was quite epic. |
