Am I imagining things or has Ed and Winry gotten taller as this has gone along? Particularly Ed, as he's actually taller than Winry at this point. If that IS so, that's a pretty cool little detail. Sort of marks the journey of maturity the two have went through during the course of the series.

Man, things are getting exciting. So many things going on. This is great storytelling.

Edit: It seems I'm not imagining things as far as height.

Quite a nice episode the scene when ed was in winry's chamber was quite funny, the rest of the episode was quite nice and progresses further with the story! We're already in spring and nearing the said day so yea it's really closing to the end of this all!

Great episode nonetheless!

I wonder what's about to happen to Olivier. She's so bad ass, that she'll probably pwn her way right out of it!

Verbally might be possible but certainly not in a battle. Not against 'Father' at least. That dude is on a whole other level.
Yea not only did ed seem taller in this episode but also more buffed.

Wouldn't Wenry have done a huge deal about Ed suddenly being taller?! And what's with the 2 episode in a row Wenry fanservice? Any chance they're trying to illustrate how time has passed and they are all grown up now, no?

No way Bradley is dead. And poor General, I hope she's allright.

Sigh, a timeskip all of the sudden? Too much Winry.. she's annoying as always, since when did I come to dislike her anyway? Meh it's been so long I forgot. The end was good, Armstrong nee-san can still keep her composure under that situation, as expected.. otherwise the episode was meh.

Awesome. The second half was so awesome.

Grunman's gleeful grin at the end was GOLD. And the after credit scene was damn sinister; Father's "I'm still here" was definitely a warning to Olivier.

Also, holy shit has Ed grown. How did Winry not notice? He's taller than her now and pretty buff. Yowza.

No timeskip. They are just showing how Ed and Winry are gradually growing. It's just that, Ed being taller than Winry was a first in this episode.

Did Ed get taller, or did they just make Winry seem shorter? I hope he did, haha. And did he even give her back her earrings?!? Also, I loved when Winry turned around to just see Ed sitting there eating a sandwich, and the silence that followed. Plus, the wrench gag, but on everyone else!

Loved the whole set up and beginnings of the coup. Excited to see it play out. Grumman's laugh/smile at the end was great! I'm surprised there's 18 more episodes considering the Promised Day is the next day and that seems to be the culmination of it all. Guess there's more to it, or really long fights!

Next episode looks like Ed and Greed vs Al, Gluttony, and Pride?!? Yikes, should be good. And Father taking over central? Double yikes.

Intriguing though in essence it is an episode of waiting, but already the first steps were perfectly organized, making the story very interesting, top it all off the sudden arrival of the Father in the final, wow! Drawings and animations very good, ditto the soundtrack.

LMAO. Loved it. Grumman is really a deceivingly cunning, sly fox, despite looking like a nice old geezer.
I guess he didn't graduate by chance.

Ed's incredible growt spurt... does it mean his theory ( don't remember the exact anime episode maybe 21? anyway it's around here ) was right? After all Al started having problems at the end of Briggs arc and soon after we begin to notice Ed's sudden growt while before it was so slow and costant


My thoughts exactly. I'm actually surprised nobody but the person that wrote this old post mentioned it.

It is really depressing that out of all cool things about this episode, some choose to comment on Winry's breasts. That is why I hate fanservice in anime, games, etc.

Anyways, one of the best episodes in the show and it will only get better from now on. Grumman is the best. Greed definitely had a point with his speech. Lastly, Ed keeps getting taller and more muscular with the passing of episodes. He was such a thin midget, now he is taller than Winry and ripped!

So alas, the plot and alliance formed against homunculuses rulling Amestris is on.

Greed's speech on how greedy emotions or aspirations are per se neutral was interesting.

But that Edward eating a sandwich in Winry's bedroom was hilarious. :D

There was a slightly awkward but long-awaited reunion between Ed and Winry and the sexual tension is real~ If it weren't for everyone else making a racket, they would've most likely admitted their feelings then and there.

Al got captured by Pride and Gluttony because of his supernatural dizzy spells getting more and more frequent...

When it looked like they saw through everyone's big plan, it turned out that they were one step ahead, giving Bradley's train car an explosive makeover. Central's gonna implode real soon!
