this episode was so funny, and i loved the catwoman like character we got.

i've already seen brotherhood, and this is my first time watching the original, i was expecting nearly the same thing but i'm getting a lot of new smaller stories (that werent in brotherhood) with the characters i love from brotherhood. i'm glad i watched the original

yea I watched Brotherhood in 2010 , but I only ever saw some scattered episodes of the original anime (circa 2005-2006) when it aired late night on cartoon network when I was still in high school.

I'm just now sitting down and watching the 2003 anime all the way through. Its been almost 8 years since I watched brotherhood and well over a decade since I had seen some episodes of the 2003 anime so.. perfect timing for me to watch.

I noticed 2003 anime seems much more slower paced and episodic but then again I dont remember the first 10 episodes of Brotherhood that well either..I think in 2003 anime theres more time spent fleshing out the brothers personalties through various side stories/one offs at least in the early episodes seemingly. Which may be why I never watched it all the way through when I first saw it airing, I probably assumed its episodic when I was a teenager..

This episode felt more like something from the original Pokemon series rather than Fullmetal Alchemist. Only episode so far I can say I was disappointed in.

It's easily my least favorite so far, but it has that early 2000 anime feel that makes me not mind too much.

Also P5 ruined me. So anytime I hear "Phantom Thief" I need to compare it to P5, aha.

We've seen at least 3 examples already of different transmutation circles that possess different powers.

Edward Elric was right about having to bend the rules for doing what is right, it's called Civil Disobedience. An interesting concept to learn.

Amazing episode. I just don't get Al's way of thinking though, Claire is clearly a thief.

*Gex voice* They call it filler, filler!

At least with this episode the Elric brothers have a lead on the philosopher's stone

Guys, I found the voice of the cop (which looked like inspector gadget lol) VERY SIMILAR to the voice of Fumihiko Tachiki (who dub Gendo Ikari in Neon Genesis Evangelion and Hasegawa Taizou in Gintama).

What do you think about it guys? Am I wrong?

Pretty disappointing episode. We got some eye candy in Psiren/Clara and some funny scenes (Ed getting a shot, the faces when another building is demolished) but I'm getting tired of the fillers. Especially after the time jump and the mention of Lior at the end of the last episode...

Now why would the tourist increase in the city just to see a thief? Stupid illogical episode.

It isn't a normal thief, she always announce the object that she'll be going after, and even so they can't catch her, not mentioning the fact that she's an alchemist

This episode feels fake lmao. I'm not complaining but it's super bizarre even for an anime original. She's definitely good at fooling people

Came here to say this lmao! I was half-expecting Ed to call him that in the dub.

The fillers are really funny but I hope the plot actually moves forward soon.

2022 rewatch
yeah so i definitely have mixed feelings about this episode. for one that fan service came out of nowhere. we didn't have anything like that before. so yeah, not a fan. the whole thing about what siren did not being completely black and white is interesting. to be fair it's more like a dark gray if anything. she clearly lied about trying to collect money to stop from hospital and convent and most likely the school as well. apparently she does it to give attention to the city? but what does she even do with the stuff she steals? just keep it to herself? yeah this didn't really turn out all that well. they made al way too sympathetic to clara and i just don't think it fits him.

Ed being afraid of a needle but willingly went through a lot worse when he got his automail installed (and every time it's maintained).

Felt a tad out of place with the pretty obvious fan service and silly plotline -- but I can't help but love getting more stories with Ed and Al.
