----------------------------------------
Lot of fighting, Ed very close to death and another 2 chimeras joining him.
All in one great episode. I especially liked the scene, when the chimera helped Ed pulling out that bar while he tried to use Alchemy on him.
They did not even spare to hint at the person, who brought Alchemy to Xing :D

Good one.
Both Elric brothers nearly dead! - they could've ended it more of a cliffhanger, if they didn't show that Ed survived. But then again one of the best scenes would be missing for now.

It was so weird seeing the chimera in color.

Ed lying there dead would have been a great cliffhanger, but they haven't really followed any of the manga cliffhangers, so why start now? I remember waiting what felt like ages to find out what would happen next. The anime viewers have it lucky. :|

I hope Ed will be ok...

Excellent episode! I'm really glad that they chose to follow the Manga so closely the 2nd time around! I suppose Alphonse collapsing is a result of him being linked to Ed, not just the calling of the space beyond the door. Definitely looking forward to Kimblee vs Elric V2.

That episode was really cool! Intensity all around. I can't wait to see what happens withe the philosophers stone. It's one of the few times where it could in a million different directions.

FMA has got to be one of the best pieces of fiction I've ever encountered.

Or at least the most entertaining.

Well, the story hardly seems finished so I was pretty sure at least Ed would make it out alive. Not much of a cliffhanger, then ^^;; Still, I was literally cringing when that bar was being pulled out of him. I can only imagine the pain...and the blood loss...like holy crap D: It's no wonder he passed out.

Still waiting on the status update on Al, though. Poor guy just can't catch a break. But, like Ed, I'm fairly certain he'll pull through eventually, too.

Awesome episode. Very dramatic and intense. I totally had a "oh shit!" moment when they showed Ed impaled, even though I'd known it was coming. And them pulling the beam out of him... made me shiver!

Can't WAIT for next week. Things are gonna really start picking up from here.

Oh. And by the way. Kimblee...is the shit.

So many EPIC moments in this episode. I was so shocked to see Ed so severely hurt and how they made it seem like that was the end for him, though I knew this wasn't really possible. Fake Al was so hilarious!!

The preview looks very good. I actually got scared in the scene where Hohenheim is in the tunnel and Pride comes out from the shadows!!

Ah, nice coincidence with Ed shaving some years off his life span to half way repair himself when the stone that he could have used to fully regenerate was not as buried under debris as we would have believed.

For some reason, though, I don't see these Chimeras switch over and becoming good guys as soon as the others did. Sure, they won't be working for Kimblee, but with a Philosopher's Stone in pocket, and potentially a bit of ire over what was done to them, I could see them kind of going rogue primarily concerned with their own benefit. Until running into their old friends, that is.

This series is really going from strength to strength. I thought it got awesome at about ep 19, and I've been waiting for the lull where there are a few eps back to back that aren't so great but it's still not come. I'm amazed.

So Ed learned the hard way how weak his way of thinking is, very good scene and I like Kimblee even more now, way awesome =D
Though he needs to either work more on his close combat skills or stop being so arrogant and kill of his enemies before they get close ;)

Only an alchemist could use the stone. And they are not alchemists so the stone is worth nothing to them. Even selling it would draw the attention of their enemies to them.

Good episode, this season is imo handling the most tense moments really well. I guess it makes sense, since they've had plenty of time to prepare.

Super awesome episode. I'm really glad they didn't leave it as a cliffhanger... The wait would have killed me.

Definitely a top-notch episode. The scene where the pole was pulled out... Quite heartwrenching. Makes you want to squirm in your seat imagining how unbelievably painful it would be having something pulled out of your internal organs... (while you're fully conscious, of course.)

awesome episode, 6/5

so basically Van Hohenheim introduced alchemy in the countrey of Xing, where the alchemy is different from that in Amistris (spelling?), which is quite curious, seeing he sort of took Alchemy in AMistris to a new level aswell, how come a totally different sort of alchemy developed in Xing then?

Also, Ed now travelling with someone in the posession of a pilosopher's stone? What will he do, what will he do

preview of the next episode, Father actually stressed, maybe by hearing Van Hohenheim is drawing near?

many questions, i cant wait till the next episodes for some answers

Great ending and some intense scenes, especially the removal of the metal bar. Last episode as better, but that was still quite an entertaining one with some developments, so I won't really ask for more.

Fantastic episode - definitely worth the wait. They could've easily ended the episode with the metal bar pierced through Ed and with him near death, but I'm so glad they didn't. There's still a bit of a cliffhanger with Al's state unknown.

If Ed & co. continue to win converts among Kimblee's/Central's men, they'll soon have an army of chimera at their disposal. LOL.
