| FINALLY some new stuff!!! It was interesting to see the past 14 episodes, but I'm glad brotherhood is now different from the first FMA series. I've started, but never really got far into the manga, so this is my first time seeing the original storyline...and I like it so far. |

| New territory = awesomeness. Lots of action in this ep, Bradley vs Greed was especially cool. Looks like we get the characters from Xing in the next ep. Can't wait! |

| Manga Wrath smashing Greed was the apology from BONES I've been waiting for. |
Fai said: kodial said: Greed and his gang lasted only that much? ULTRA SUPER FAIL. If you keep telling that it's not being rushed again and that's just the way it happened in the manga, well, what can i say? the first anime series were simply better than the manga too, so far at least... Greed's gang lasted longer in the manga Greed, however, longer than he did in manga. QFT. |

| Like, awesome episode, just like all the rest. I don't know what you all think, but I think having a fast pace won't be beneficial when they catch up with the manga. Yeah, now they have material for at least 30 episodes, but if they have this pace for all of the other episodes, they will just have to make fillers if they want to continue or take a break for at least two years to have material for a decent second seazon since the manga is monthly. My opinion is that they should just take it slowly. |
 |
| whatta fight between the fuhrer and greed ..!!! LOVE IT ..!! |
 |
| Wow this is so different from the FMA1, but in a good way! :D Censorship was thrown out the window for this episode, the scenes with the Fuhrer fighting were outstanding, Al is still a kiddo. |
| I LOVE THIS. AWESOME ANIMATION. SUPER INTENSE FIGHTING SCENES. IT'S FINALLY OBVIOUSLY DIFFERENT THAN THE FIRST FMA!!!!! |
p r o f i l e đź‘€ |
| FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUU- My mind is exploding with plot twists (I've neither watched the original anime, nor read the manga). Anyway, it's awesome. |
| Now that I didn't expect. (Haven't seen the first anime OR read the manga yet.) I knew Bradley was a douche, but I didn't think he was going to be EVIL evil. Overall, I have to say this one felt a bit rushed though. Still pretty good. |
 |
| GAALJLAJFLAFAMFAASFA Wow. Just wow. Intense stuff. Bradley freakin' owns with his swords man. Ah the last bit with the Homunculus. >_______________< Freakin' A. |
 |
| Amaaazing episode. Loved how it was basically loyal to the manga, and the animation quality was right up there. Felt like I hardly saw Greed at all in this series but oh well I suppose. XD' I think I would've rather seen the episode end with Riza, but the part with the Fuhrer's family was a fitting ending too. Looking forward to seeing the next episode - and to seeing the Xing characters finally be animated! |
kie_ said: This is becoming really different from the original series. I hope it wont suck. I agree. I dropped the manga because I was bored reading it. Although, I dearly love the first FMA series. I own every DVD. This series, well, I guess I'm enjoying seeing the differences but it won't be in my collection. It's a little confusing but not enough for me to pick the manga back up. If I wait long enough and watch more episodes, it'll make sense. At least I don't hate this version. It's okay. |
 |
| well martel didn't last long, neither did greed who went out in a different fashion then he did before; and bradley is now wrath instead of pride, interesting |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| Never read the Manga and only seen the Anime so...shock ! Greed is dead nooo ! And wtf Hohenheim oO |
| YES! We're finally getting into new material! Can't wait to see how they animate the rest of the manga ~ |
| Great episode, love how this series is in fact following the manga. However, I was disappointed with one of the little details conveniently left out. The manga of this episode, the original Japanese form of the manga of this episode, has Greed crucified. When the chapters came to the US via VIZ Media, they edited the original art to make the cross-shaped slab of rock just a blob-shaped slab of rock. Not only did this episode change the shape that rock was in, but it changed Greed's position to arms by the side rather than straight out. Now, I'm no Christian-hater or Satan worshipper, but the symbolism of a sin getting crucified was something I found particularly powerful in the series. I'm very, very disappointed that it was removed from the series because of religious controversy. |

| So... No Wrath from olf Fullmetal Alchemist? |
Fai said: WIN: 1:1 manga panels animated. WIN: Animation quality WIN: Minimum censorship WIN: SUPERB ANIMATION QUALITY WIN: Retaining most of important stuff. WIN: Manga scenes :3333 ULTRA WIN: SLOOOOOTH! YOU ARE DOING IT RIGHT: Shadowing Father. Yes, a lot of great scenes. FAIL: cutting out A LOT OF STUFF. A lot of stuff. Esp. Barry the Chopper. This was so needed because of the comic relief, as well as, the addition to the mystery. BTW, this episode was equavalent to chapter 31. They are going pretty fast. THey end it with fuhrer's family. It worked for me because the manga chapter ended the same way. |
| What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about? |
| Amazing episode, one of the more fast paced action episode I've seen recently. Too bad that Greed character is gone so soon (I'll have to see him in the original FMA). With that being said, I'll have to stop coming to the FMAB discussion threads because peple don't know how to control their freaking mouth (or fingers in this case) and spoil every new revelation, detail or difference that comes out. |
 |
| only one question (i've not read the manga) so if King is wrath then who is pride? |
firy said: only one question (i've not read the manga) so if King is wrath then who is pride? Not going to be revealed for a while in the anime. |
 |
| but there is going to be one, right? O.o |
| Awesome episode! This is turning into a really good series! |
 |
| Bad ass episode! One of the top brass of the military is one of the bad guys, awesome! |
 |
| Well, this has just taken an interesting turn. I was not expecting that. I hope to see more of this! |
| Anybody bothering to watch the dub of this episode? HOLY SHIT Ed Blaylock has seriously improved as Bradley over the 2003 series. I wasn't expecting much from his performance but he really does pull off being able to go from stone-cold killer to doting dad just like that. My avatar basically sums up my reaction to hearing him during the Bradley vs. Greed fight. |
| Finally, some major new material. I've seen the first FMA but I haven't read the manga, so I'm excited for the new stuff. |
| I AM FUCKING SPEECHLESS. SO MANY THINGS IN ONE EPISODE? IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE? AN EPISODE TO BE THIS GOOD? I-M-P-O-S-S-I-B-L-E. Okay seriously just like you guys, I am utterly shocked as to what happened in this episode. First of all, THE FUHRER PRESIDENT IS A HOMUNCULUS TOO AND IS NAMED WRATH BY THE HOLHOL GUY, WHICH USED TO BE THE FAHER OF EDWARD AND AL, WHAT THE FUCK MAN. Second, omg Wrath is a one tough guy. Too bad Greed is not with them anymore. I would have love to see them all together. All the "Ultimate" guys. How the fuck will Ed and Al beat all these guys if they have the "Ultimates" and they don't? Also, wtf was that sacrifice those Homunculus was talking about? FUCK I AM EXCITED. |
| That's amazing and exciting as well, Fuhrer turned out to have a Oroborus eye. Wow, and I always thought something was suspicious about that eyepatch, but aren't the Homunculus doing on the military side. He introduced us with an amazing episode, Fuhrer Tai-san~ I'm excited for the next episode already! ♥ |
| I feel like reading the manga now. But I'm not sure i'll keep up with it, knowing (roughly) what the story is about. Good episode though. |
 |
| Greed sure had it rough, the differences were really apparent |
 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. |
| Good episode, a lot different from the original FullMetal series. |
| King Bradley. A homunculus?!?! I should've watched FMA1. |
| [insert awesome signature here] |
| Pride is Wrath now... As if I didn't said anything about Greed in my last comment on ep 13... My favorite characters are now already dead. What for I'll watch 50 more episodes? How could they kill Greed even faster than before... Even though they did it in Deus Ex Machina way... KUSO! |

| I never expected that of King BRAADLY, this show is getting really good now. Damn Greed was awesome, he had to go like that.. Can't wait to see more Scar, I'm most interested in him right now. |
 |
| Holy fuck these discussions have a shit load of spoilers. I will be avoiding them from now on... |
| Bradley's fight scene was bad ass. That's all I can say. |
 |
| Mother of fuck, that was a great episode. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| Finally, this episode was done exactly right to make me feel the brothers are diving into a world of fucked up mysteries with epic proportions. Even the comedy fits better now. When the serious storyline is convincing, comic relief is part of the contrast between good guys and monsters, normal life and madness. I guess this is where Brotherhood really begins, and looks like it's going to be awesome. |

| Great episode we did see allot of things happen in one single episode that was in the original version a couple episodes that would strengthen the story we also directly know now that Bradley is a homunculus and some other quite important things all in one episode but still great episode! There was also no reference with that greed had his skull in the fifth laboratory or how they'll finally kill him with that rather now it's just some molten carbon or so. We also see a first appearance of the father of both elric brothers for the first time speaking so yea lots of changes from the original version but it seems it fits the manga more! |

Marta actually dies without even being able to escape. we get to see King Bradley in action and he slaughtered Roa, Bido, Martel, Dolcetto. in the first season Roa and Dolcetto get's killed by gluttony and lust while Greed in the first season King Bradley actually visits Izumi O___O at least Sig didn't interfere :P i actually remember that Izumi in the first season furiously hated State Alchemists that's why he's against Ed and Al's decision. wow Greed dies in a molten fire O____O did he survived? so Hohenheim here is evil in this? getting intense by the episodes :) |
| Lol King Bradley is the shit ....but Greed is hilarious he just never quiets |
