kuroshiroi said: I thought the amount of episodes in an anime season varies, guess I was wrong?robbydesu said: Anime seasons are 12-13 episodes. 12.5*5 = 62.5.noteDhero said: I understand the math..but since when was that a definite value for a season XD..He's thinking of 12 episodes as a season. |
| If I remember correctly (I just recently read about this when I was trying to figure out why Shikabane Hime series were running concurrently, yet titled differently) 24-26 is the length of a season and 12 is a cour(sp?). |
| I loved the way Winry was hitting Al with a wrench as a humorous effect at first, then turned into a more 'dramatic' (if that's the word) scene. Only FMA can do something like that. =) The flashback was heartbreaking to me. >< |
 |
| Whatever. Just imagine I was talking about Winter/Spring/Summer/Fall seasons. 5 of those. |
noteDhero said: That's sorta how I see it. One example I can think of from the top of my head is CCS, it's got 70 episodes but it's only 3 seasons. So that's about 23 episodes per season that series? But even so, each season for each anime is different...If I remember correctly (I just recently read about this when I was trying to figure out why Shikabane Hime series were running concurrently, yet titled differently) 24-26 is the length of a season and 12 is a cour(sp?). Plus kuroshiroi calculate it all as if to assume that each episode covers a fixed number of chapters...which I don't think is true kuroshiroi said: Whatever. Just imagine I was talking about Winter/Spring/Summer/Fall seasons. 5 of those. That's only if the seasons for FMA:B is a.."cour" (as noteDhero-san said - btw, where did you learn that term form anyways noteDhero? I'm curious, I've never heard of it before)? And only if each episode covers a fixed amount of chapters :P Well, however long it's going to be...I don't think there's going to be a lot of people who would object to that XD |

| Modern anime seasons/cours/whatever are usually 12-13 episodes. The fact that you think otherwise is... odd. Also, anime starts airing 4 times a year, January, April, July, October. So 4 seasons a year with 12-13 episodes per season or around 1 episode per week. Sure, there are shows with an odd number of episodes, like CCS, but most shows are 12,13,24,25,26,39,50,51,52 episodes which are all multiples of 12 and 13. Edit: Failures fixed. |

The math makes sense, but refer to what noteDhero said, I think the whole season thing is regarded differently whether or not it's concurrent |

| I got it from a random thread in the Shikabane Hime discussion forum I think. People were questioning why it "ended" in December and then Shikabane Hime: Kuro came in January (not to mention that some subbers were doing Kuro when Aka hadn't even finshed). It was a really random way for me to have found it. But just like in America there isn't a set number of episodes in a season (except for 24) sometimes, if the show is on cable and it's an hour long, it could be 12- 18 episodes, and sometimes if its a half hour comedy or something, it can be 18-26 episodes. But generally 22-24 is the average here, with 24-26 being the average in Japan. It is easier to remember in Japan since it all pretty much flows with the natural seasons. |

| I think you guys might just be confused with my usage of the word season. I'm not talking about the one season a year thing American TV shows use or how shows are packaged for DVDs in season box sets. Typical usage of the word season with respect to anime: "Which shows are good this season?" Anyway... 1 page of off-topic is quite enough :) |
kuroshiroi said: Fai said: 105/15*9 = 63, so... 63 episodes over 5 seasons?Sami092 said: albeit it is going at a very fast pace. We are just at chapter 15 ( out of 95 already released and 10 to-be-released chapters). I would not say thats "fast pace". That would not be entirely correct, considering each episode covers different amount of chapters. For example Ep3 covered 2 chapters, while Ep4 only 1 and so on. Its not possible to just say, cram 3 talking chapters into the episode the same way you would cram 3 fighting chapters. |

| Nice episode so far!! |
 |
| Best episode so far! Loved Ed's faces <3 I don't want to see chapter 10... |
 |
| I adored this episode. Some pretty humourous moments. And the touching scene with Ed and Al on the rooftop. Also noticed Izumi and her husband walking behind Winry as she called to Armstrong. ^^ Ross slapping Ed and the aftermath pretty much was my favourite thing this episode. Really not looking forward to the next one, but will watch. :(( |
 |
| Winry and her wrench gotta love it! Hugues is my favorite FMA character always talking about his family next episode gonna hurt! |
| i actually cried a little for this episode, so next episode is just going to... why do they always kill my favorite character? he hasn't shown up much in brotherhood so far, either. |
| I can't say much apart from what has been said, but I can't help but agree with some in saying that this was one of the more moving episodes so far. And thinking about it, I really appreciated the way it was handled here over the way it was in the original series. Definitely one of my favourite episodes thus far. |
| Loved that talk between Winry and Hughes. |
 |
| Episodes like this makes me realise the reason why I love FMA so much. Yes the humour is great and the characters are fun (Winry, u rock!!) but one thing the really makes this series so great is the bonds the two brothers share and the will they have to find a way to undo the mistakes they had done. Great episode. Oh, Hughes, I LUV UUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!! |
 |
Vipey said: i noticed it too ! it was wtf moment o__Oanyone else notice this: Mod edit: Please use spoiler tags when the pic deforms the site. anyways, i cried :/ when winry told al how ed was really gonna ask him. |
 |
| The episode is just so adorable... :D Love Winry more! |
     |
| GOD, it's so good to see this chapter animated!! It's one of my favorites, and this was such a tear jerker episode. Not that the coming ones won't be either... But I can remember how the first anime handled this series and all I remember is Al jumping off the roof. This episode handled it so much better. |
     |
Capellabun said: I have watched this episode yet but next episode is that episode D: ??? you guys, I will bet some people have not seen the original here... maybe not, but you shouldn't spoil it for the others. That said, I concur with everything that's been said about the next episode. Greeeaat episode. I'm lovin the remake |
     |
Capellabun said: Yeah, exactly. Well I guess now I know. Anger expressed here.I know most of us who have commented so far have seen the first series or have read the manga but I think everyone needs to keep in mind that there are people who watch this series and haven't seen/read either. So, lighten up on the spoilers for the next episode. I love Winry! And I really liked this episode, I was folding laundry while watching it but I couldn't keep folding because I kept being so drawn at the whole conversations with Winry and Hughes, then Al. So sweet! |
 |
| There is not much to say about this episode. I'm wondering if there is going to be romance in the future. Can't wait for next week's episode. |
| More Winry is always good. I remember feeling like I didn't see enough of her in the first FMA. |
| finally got to watch ep 9 lol |
 |
| Aaaah so much drama I'm going to melt. It's really good to see Ed and Al get back together again. Now that they'rein good terms, they're going to start pawning enemies again Anyways just like everyone said, Winry was full of win in this episode. Those slaps and those lines were really dramatic although it made me laug because at first AL was the one who's really sad and then Ed became next and Winry next, lol it's like a chain. Oh and that scene of Scar, the guy that was shown in his dreams, was he the same guy in prison too? Kimbley or something? I wish they show us Scar's past. |
Aspha said: winry = win wow, am i the only who got....  NOBODY CAUGHT THIS!??!?! wow, someone got it before me.. =d I did. It was a brilliant work-in! |
 |
| Wow! Maes Hughes was incredibly HOT in this ep!! |
|
| Oh God, not THAT episode already. 0_o |
 |
| I've been inspired. Inspired to drink more milk. |
 |
| lol at what happend in elcies or hughes daughters birthday party xD funny moments along with touching serious moments great episode |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Wow, the way this was handled was so much better than the original series. I thought the other series made Al's worries far to melodramatic and drawn out while this was handled very nicely, and maturely, by Ed and Winry. A great episode of bonding for the two brothers and nice development for Winry. Great episode, all things considered. It's interesting how this series seems to be more comedic, yet somehow it comes off as more mature than the first series to me. |

| Oh god, next episode is going to be very sad. |
| Loved this episode. That Winry/Al convo put me to tears. ;__; And Hughes LOL LOL LOL. |
| [insert awesome signature here] |
| Brosh made me lol when he talked about Winry as Ed’s girlfriend :D Hughes made me laugh as he always does, when he irritated Ed about Winry being in his room :D Then the birthday, where they all screamed “KAWAI!” => xD And yeah, Hughes was convincing enough with his gun xD For the serious part. The moment when Al looked at the robot was really sad, one of the most serious scenes to now =\ The moment between Ed and Winry was dramatic too. It made me remember how much I admired Winry, and how happy Ed must be for having her at his side. The part when Hughes explained Winry the case with Elric brothers was done at least as good as it was in FMA if not better. The moment when Al asked Ed his question was more dramatic and better done than FMA. And once again, Winry is the best friend any would wish for. She really understands them even if they don’t talk to her. I just hope Ed realises this now, before it comes too late. |

| A great mix of drama and comedy bits.. Liked it.. |
| This episode was very well done, one of the best so far, for sure. |

I love the bond between the three. |

| I always cry when Ed cries saying Al hates him ;; I'm not a big fan of Winry but I began to like her better after a watched this episode for the first time, haha. Hughes is so funny ;; Gosh, the next episode............. ;_; |
 |
| My favorite episode so far. The drama between Ed and Al was very nicely done. And lmao at Hughes. "Is it true you brought in a pretty blonde girl to service you?" "Oh I see. So you've seduced your mechanic have you?" |
| Great episode I do think the original expressed it better with Al running away and having an episode dedicated to find him back but still this version was quite nice and compact the role winry played in this really suited as well that in the original version just was explained from bro to bro! Either way great episode, up to the next one! |
 |
| amazing episode :D i actually think this is much better than the first season. Winry had a bigger role here than in the first anime, and they Ed actually won the fight when in the first season he still lost to Al. yeah i notice Izumi on the background too :P  amazing episode!!! next episode is gonna be sad T____T |
