Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 43 Discussion

THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Fetus Envy appears! Yoki being taken hostage was hilarious. He's not our friend. xD

Armstrong sibling reunion ftw! I love those two. <3

Yes, still no Ed. I'm glad they didn't try to rush him in somehow.

No "my vintage armor!" Maybe next time

Marcoh was magnificent when he fought back Envy to her true form. They put the "betrayal" of Zampano well to the anime.
Armstrong is being shown the "Fushi no Gundan" (by Kirisaki Yuuichi, Gendo Ikari, even she is surprised - no wonder.
Al and Hohenheim meet at Reole, wow we're already there. Still no information about Ed, but the preview shows him already.

Poor Envy - was one of the nice homonculi.

I'm also glad they they didn't squeeze in Ed, so there's at least a bit uncertainty on the part of him surviving. btw i don't like their hesistance to let even minor characters die since quite some time or only the 'bad' guys.

How long until the sub? I'm debating whether I should stay up all night waiting or just watch it tomorrow.

Subs were fast today!

No Kimblee exploding the Drachma general...
Envy reduced to little slug form >:D
They cut off right before "his vintage armor" lol
Next episode....GREEEELLLIINNNNNN!!

Poor stupid Drachma. Tools to the end.

Wow, that was a nice twist after the events of the last episode. Marcoh was awesome. He's certainly come along way, as has other supporting characters like Scar.

Yeah, the preview removed a bit of the mystery regarding a certain someone who's been MIA. Oh well.

Shows that even characters like Marcoh could be badass. (;

Love how everyone just abandoned Yoki when Envy was threatening them.

Yoki part was funny. xD

Marcoh rules XD

Way to go there Marco! =D
Talk about real face melting pwnage xD

Not so sure how clever the idea of sending that little girl away with an humonculi that got the ability to posses people was though. By the sound of things their emperor would not hesitate one bit of letting it use him if it grants immortality^^

And thus the epicness started.
Hohenheim washing the dishes was funny:). But no Kimbley blowing up Drachma general and they ended the ep before vintage armor:(

Always thought this bit was awesome in the manga and the anime didn't let me down ^_^

Mod edit: Use spoiler tags plz.

That's actually coming up later on.


Mod edit: Use spoiler tags plz.

I always thought he was killed by a stray cannonball??

There's the sfx "Fyooo" for something flying. Unless u mean the rest of the Dragma army. I haven't watched yet so i dunno ;P

Hmm, guess I mixed it up with the soilders on the next page. I remembered he blew someone up in the manga. And it was different. I don't mind, some things have to change but i enjoyed that bit in the manga.

Thx for the correction anyway.

Yeah kimblee did blow up one of his comrades in the Ishbal flashbacks (Not in the anime)
Wasnt graphic though :(

Marcoh is awesome. I wanted to laugh at Envy when he was in his ugly, puny little worm form giving his little "Don't look at me, puny humans!" tirade. HAHA YOU FAIL ENVY. (I hate Envy. :| Least favourite homunculus of the bunch.)

It was a great episode!
Alex and Olivier are cute and funny! XD
I'll miss Mei, but I hope she returns someday (...to Al? :P)

WTF@ this ep's end!

also, go Marcoh!

Envy nice? You mean nice as in cool homunculi right, cause Envy was not nice at all.

Next week's episode is going to be awesome as hell.

ah, ah, it bothers me!! what happened to ed?!?!

i've always loved the rofl yoki part...."scar, look at me!!!" xD

why didnt they show the mei/youthwell part or is that next ep?

Wow thanks for the spoilers, and the quoting of spoilers.

Rose looks better in Brotherhood than in the original FMA. I also love her seiyuu. ^_^

This episode was great! Loved it! The battle with Envy was awesome too.

YAY NEXT WEEK! MY VINTAGE ARMOR REUNITES WITH VAN HOHENHEIM!
ahh Ling/Greed dam i hate that person/people.thing/homunculi

Am I the only one who thinks it's very irresponsible to give Envy to a little girl to take home? I mean... given his powers, I would keep maximum security on him to ensure he stays in the jar.

Envy got fooled!

No Ed once again! :(

Envy. Now that Envy is in that form... Well. You know. Bad things happen when you lock pure evil away in a jar.

Dude. Marco. Is the shit. Like, I thought Kimblee was the shit, until I remembered that Marco is actually wicked too. Well. Kimblee still is the shit :)

Next episode should be AWESOME.

Envy got Pwned by Marcoh ...this ep is badass

Well, it was a one heck of a episode, but something doesn't make sens, like... if Marcoh knew all along how to destroy that philosopher's stone, from inside the homunculi, than why didn't he used the same method when he was captured by them... maybe I'm missing something here or I didn't pay to much attention.Plus, I don't think it's a good idea to give Envy to Mei, what if he finds a way to get back to his old form?

Anyway, I liked the episode, uhm... I loved the hole Armstrong and Olivier thingy <3, can't wait for the new episode to come out.

So.. is Envy ever getting his body back? ):

NO. NOT ENVY ;-; They turned him into a little..tadpole! Give him his sexy body back T^T

Lawl at Yoki xD Poor guy.

Nice episode at the start, Envy I love him. Marcoh was superb, didn't know he would become so useful at a pivotal moment, Envy becomes a small fry, anyone noticed how Scar is not being pursuid anymore, Ed has disappeared too long for my liking, the end was intriguing. Alchemist had dropped a lot in quality these past 8 or so episodes, we need more action and less talking. The ratings have dropped as well.

lol @ siblings reunion...and yoki xD
another goodd episode...
next one seems awesome..

What are you talking about? The ratings keep steadily going up heck its .01 away from the original animes score.

You sir should just shut up and get out of here.

Another awesome ep. I want the next one nao.

It's been too long since we've seen Edo :c

That's exactly what I've been thinking the moment Scar gave the jar to Mei.


@topic
for some reason I find it really amusing to have a pet like Envy in that form. XD

I'm glad they didn't try to squeeze Ed in here. It will undoubtedly make his return AWESOME next episode.

And Embryo!Envy!!! ♥

awesome episode! love how the anime's staying with the manga. can't wait for the next ep when they're in Lior!!!!!

For entire army to get owned that way must be pretty embarrassing. I can't possibly hate Envy when his VA is one my favorite and each time I hear him all I can think of is Conan. Wow Envy was pretty much nothing, Yoki possession was so funny.

Haha that's what you get Envy. The Armstrong reunion was great and I'm honestly surprised the Bido part was added. I figured they would skip over such a 'minor' scene as usual. Then again this has been adapted pretty well lately. Also, I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT EPISODE. FINALLY.

but that is significant

Ew, green.

There were just fantastic developments in this episode : Envy beaten, all the characters moving forward in different directions and of course the perfect ending scenes, both before and after the ED (great direction by the way). Impressive episode overall.

Bido appearing in general is significant. I only said minor because it was possible for them to just throw him in the next episode and explain how he got there then. Having him appear in this episode is better as it helps build some suspense or curiosity for those who don't know what will happen, just like in the manga. It's also the same with Ed's absence. They're actually doing a good job this time :D

Great episode. I loved the shot of the baby in Envy's tongue clinging to Marcoh and crying. There really wasn't anything bad to say about the episode (and I suppose it's because Ed wasn't in it). I'm glad May is gone (even if it's for no real reason), and I'm glad Al is having to get on without his brother. It'd be even better if his character grew in any way, but I'll doubt that will happen.
