I loved the new OP and ED songs. :)

Ling's "I no really understand this country language!" was LOL. AND HIS VOICE! Miyano Mamoru FTW. I knew it was HIMMM.

Kay, I didn't like this episode. First off, Scar didn't mention anything about Yoki's betrayal in the ishbalan camp. Then comes Mei. And then comes Xiao. They're all horrible, I wonder if they're going to ruin the series -.-
P.S. New OP and ED... ED is better than the previous, but nothing special. OP... how could they change the best OP to now?

New OP and ED! Ok... it's not all that great. In fact, new OP is slightly worse than the first one (it's still great, but the first one was EPIC). The new ED, on the other end, is slightly better than the previous one, which was also pretty good.

Scar seems to intend to keep up with his revenge agenda, except now he has to put up with two annoying characters following him everywhere. I don't really like Mei nor do I like the other guy.

The Riza vs Barry the Chopper scene was great though. Also, it's nice that Roy finally found out what happened in the Laboratory 5. I hope he can figure things out from there. Go and overtake the military! You have my support xD

The comedic parts in this episode were also nothing short of great. Ling was quite funny (though I found it somewhat creepy - really, just a bit - when he made that serious face). Still don't know what to think of that guy. I also loved the "brother's dignity" part xD Oh, and not to forget about Mei fantasizing about Edward! That was pure LOL.

The fight with Ran Fan and Fu was also great. I just love the action scenes in this show. Anyway, I'm quite curious about what Ling meant by "the fate of 500 000 people in the Yao clan is in my hands"...

I liked this episode, especially that Al doesn't need a circle anymore, but as someone who hasn't read the manga and vaguely remembers the first series, I have no clue what is going on.

Ah, it's great to see Ling animated. He was funny as hell. The action scenes were strong as well, and it's interesting to see Mustang's group come across a clue.

amazing new op and ed :)

so basically from here on out the story between the first season and this one goes the opposite directions.

Xiao Mei looks cute :)

what the hell Scar liks the panda O___O

Yoki actually follows Scar here??

in first season he's scared as hell.

im glad the manga actually explored eastern style of alchemy.

in the first season it was mostly western alchemy.

good to see a mix of both :D

Riza actually fought Barry the Chopper :)

she is so strong :)

not to mention her long hair is soo gorgeous :P

it's a shame they didn't show how Riza met Black Hayate(dog) and raise her on it's own.

the first season explained this.

and wtf Roy already has a eyepatch??

when did this happened??

he looks dreaded as hell.

in the first season



and winry has been hitting Ed with a wrench alot XD

Ling is your typical cocky boy :P

funny he's also a Prince :D

so finally Alphonse get's to transmute without needing a circle :)

then again i didn't see him using a chalk besides the first episode of this season, weird.

Lan Fan is soo fiesty :P

and Fu lol he does look like Old Snake from Metal Gear SOlid 4 XD

Scar and Yoki goes along well haha ^^

love this episode, lots of funny and great scenes.

on to the next episode, knowing Hughes death :(

This seems to be the point where the series completely differentiates itself from the first one and the two no longer converge - and what a great way to start! Fantastic episode. If Ling remains this amusing and relevant, he might become my new favorite FMA character.

New opening sucks compared to the first one, though. Don't care for either of the endings.

Aw they changed the OP, I prefer the previous one but this new one is okay, I guess? The fight scene in the opening sequence was amazing, the one with King Bradley and china looking dudes (Ling Yao) on the rubble. There was also a child (May Chang) who can use alchemy, wasn't that amazing? That Ed and Father's moment, Ed vs Scar, just wow, the animation for the opening sequence is amazing.

I really like these new characters from Xing. Al can use alchemy without a transmutation circle now, that's amazing, lol Al is definitely stronger than Ed now. Man, I don't want to imagine how they will feel when they learn of the news about Hughes..

Not sure how I feel about the new ED yet.

I was wondering why Yoki's voice sounded so familiar, then it hit me! It's the same voice actor as Franky from One Piece!

The OP and ED changed. I really liked the old OP but I didn't like the old ED but the new ones are really good, especially the new ED, it has the feels, lol.
Pirates are evil? The Marines are righteous? These terms have always changed throughout the course of history! Kids who have never seen peace and kids who have never seen war have different values!

Ling was very entertaining and a welcome addition. "Me no speak language of country. Sayanora!" Lmao

For some reason, I didn't get that Scar wanted to pet the panda. I thought he was gonna friggin deconstruct it. It's more endearing the former way. Little girl is whatever, I'm sick of little girls. This is like the cast of Sesshomaru's group.

Scar has a slave now ahahaha. At least, Yoki isn't that annoying to me.

Alzea said:
Yes, episode was really good (besides Mei's introduction) BUT when you look at it as a royai fangirl whom I happen to be, it was disappointing -.- I mean they cut chess scene earlier and now they cut most of the royaish Barry part, tsk, they cut most of the Barry part even not royaish moments, why oh why they included this fight at the beginning but cut Barry part, darn it -.-


N-N-Nani?!?! There is something like that?!?! I ship those two T^T Riza is my lady in this show. That sucks :/ Why did they have to cut that!!
Well, I guess, time for me to sleep. I shall continue this later. Must finish this Anime before this year ends.

New OP and ED are awesome! Ling Yao and his crew (and the little girl) seem like interesting characters. I wonder whether they lean towards good or bad, though I guess time will tell. Winry is going to be crushed when they get back to Central :(

Episode that, as I imagined, takes a totally different way from that seen in the FMA, but it was an event that had to happen sooner or later, because I knew that this adaptation was much closer to the events narrated in the manga. Drawings and animations sufficient, new opening and new ending, finally came the ending that I love so much. <3
This series is devoting a lot of news, compared to the past, a test is in the characters, some totally different from those seen in the FMA.

A lot of new characters were introduced in this episode. Seems like Ed and Al found some new not intended friends.^^

So next episode they will hear about what happened to Hughed ;_ ;


PS: I like the new OP and ED, the OP seems from the singer who also sang some OP's for Naruto.

The new OP is quite good and the new ED is amazing. New characters introduced seem cool, especially Ling. Wow this is going in a completely different direction than FMA 2003. Look forward to see where this goes!

Instead of wasting our time with an action sequence when they're not going to take it seriously, they should have just introduced the characters and had them tag along on this trip back to Central. Now I just think the Elric brothers have no brain since they're letting these people get away with attempted murder.
