New OP and ED! Now featuring a lot of Pride :) but also those Chimeras.

The planning to make Scar escape took a lot of time (too much imo). But at least Alphonse moved on to get the others, making full use of his current body.

Next episode is definitely interesting.


/edit: wtf is up with the Forum? I can see Fai's post in the forum but not in this topic O_o, and the "discuss" from the list led me to the overview before...

Liked both OP and ED but not so much. Although the scenes in OP were great,Ed and Al vs Pride and Homunculus vs Eastern. first and last few secs of ED reminded me of DTB OP2.

Episode is great. I think they're slowing down a little bit or is it just me. Lol at Yoki, being useful for a change. And Alphonse, getting rejected by his body. It was only a matter of time. Last, Father placing the pieces together. One more piece left, but we know who that is.

Well next episode is what im waiting for.
. Oh and Armstrong confronting Bradley. Question: When will they return to


Heard latest chap of FMA manga was released. Too bad i can only watch RAW jap and not read japanese...ahaha

There are live streams of unfortunate quality for popular shows such as FMA:B, but you can usually find an HD raw within 12 hours of airing on the normal places for anime torrents. That doesn't mean you'll be finding subs any earlier than usual.

And YAY for the new OP+ED. Even though I haven't been watching Brotherhood, the openers and closers have such spazz/squee value. I bet this OP especially will just get better every time I watch it. The ED was cool as well, but I mostly spent it lol-ing at the DETERMINED WINRY WALKS STEADILY sequence. Mostly because she doesn't do much for the rest of the series but continue being on the run from the bad guys, and even that goes pretty smoothly. That, and I was reminded of that old song that goes 'these boots were made for walking,' etc.

I like how all the openings are all so crisp and full of action. Lovez it. this OP was a bit too mild though, even though there's quite some cool explosions [wow Kimblee could do long range] and cool Pride scenes. Greed was but a moment there, but there's not enuff of him lately. =D

ED is one of the coolest yet. lol at Winry walking too.

I liked the previous OP song a lot (it was the best in my opinion), but this one is nics too. Ed is definitely an upgrade from the previous one though.
30 chapter and the anime will catch up to the manga. That's around 20 eps i guess +3-4 for the chapters airing in that 20/4=5 month. Hope they won't go down the filler route and stop the production for a couple season instead:/.

Didn't like new op at first, but it kind of reminds me of Eyeshield 21 op 2... Which I ended up loving. Love the new ed as well.

OP 3 > 2 > 4 > 1
ED 1 > 4 > 2 > 3

Didn't realise the order was reversed till I posted this o.O.

It won't be long now before the manga ends. IMHO it's almost impossible for the anime to catch up to the manga before it ends.

You realize it's been well over a year since
The pacing of a monthly manga is a lot slower than a weekly anime. It's very likely the anime will catch up to the manga, yet again. :|

The new OP and ED rock! Alot of Pride in both. Which is alright with me! Not enough Envy though. The ending felt like an opening though. Oh well. Imagine how cool the OP and ED will be for the Central Coup Detat arc.

Ah the preview for the next episode has me excited!

Well at least the new opening was a bit better than the previous one, though I've seen much better.

Not sure what to say about the episode since I didn't think there was anything outstanding or special in it, pretty average imo.
The only think that made me feel something was one Al got a girly and started to scream when they where about to execute those two chimeras. I HATE pathetic and illogical thinking, erasing their existence was clearly the best and safest option.

It would be INSANELY stupid of them to be accurate to the manga 98% of the way through and then have it crap out with a couple of chapters left.

Trust me, it's not going to happen. They'll cut it close, but it won't happen.

New OP&ED! The OP is very good, but I still like 'Again' the best. The ED though, much better than the last one and probably 1st or 2nd overall.

I'm currently suffering from Greedling withdrawal D: Need him NAO.

Things started getting a little nervous for Al...and yes!

Assuming, that this time the producers and the mangaka time their work together, I suppose it might even be a possibility, that the last anime ep airs in the same week as the manga chapter will be released.

As for the op, I do not like the music, but the animation is imo shitload, godly awesome - to say the least.

The ep itself was ok... Imo, they wasted to much time on the explanation and the talk with scar.

I liked both the new OP and ED. I still don't think any OP can beat Yui, but this new one definitely matched the tone of the show imo. And the ED...well...just about anything would beat Japanese rap for me. xD

Yay for new OP and ED! I think they're an improvement from the previous OP and ED, even though they're not the greatest. Still good, though, and I enjoyed them. I have a feeling this new OP will grow on me more as I keep watching/listening to it.

As for the episode itself, it was all right. Something about it felt "off" and I'm not entirely sure why. Maybe it was too much angst and screaming at each other - I mean, we had Winry at Scar, Ed at both Winry and Scar, Al at those monster dudes and then his random scene with his real body, and so on. I think they dragged all of that out too long, so the episode ended up feeling a tad imbalanced?

So Winry is now more than a pretty face now, but still doesn't measure up from the two other strong female leads.

I can't believe how fast some people change sides.

You have to realize that the chimera are basically mooks under orders to help catch Scar. They had no clue as far as the corruption in the military went or anything. And Kimblee would have killed them for their failure anyway.

This could be my first or my second FMA:B episode that i rate 3/5.
I don't like the idea of Winry being with those guys AT ALL, not to mention her cooperation with Scar.
I felt Kimblee became the villain too quickly and, also, Scar became too cooperative and too soft too quickly.
