Yup, it was a pretty good episode. Psiren was a cool antagonist in the anime - and it was nice that she used her alchemy to help others. I was pretty iffy about her intentions in the first place, and then I came to like her :)



Amazing sig set thanks to -DraGonZ-

This one was cute and funny. Poor Ed and Al, getting duped like that. But still, I'm glad she escaped at the end.

I got mixed feelings about this episode. It was the worst filler until now, but it wasn't exactly bad, cause Psiren tricked me sometimes, and I liked that.

it was to obvious who the thief was way to obvious.

i wouldn't say she did good for the town folks by stealing i mean sure more people come but in five years it will sink so more dead people if they all there.

lol at Ed for forgetting he was at the bottom of the lake.

and how could the detective think that Ed would be the thief while he knew the thief was much taller and was a woman so that was pretty stupid also how could Ed only notice when he touched her breast it was a woman while before they where saying her implying it is a woman.

the announcement for where she would steal something is seem stolen from the phantom thief in D.N.Angel.

I wouldn't argue with calling it a filler episode, but there isn't really any goal at this point that's being held off, so it's more of a side-story in my book. Not that good of a side-story though, in my opinion, while the dialogue was funny.

At the end of the day they left the case very ambiguous. Did she steal for her own fortune or to help the city? The question is never answered.

Agree it was obvious really early on who the thief was but this seemed to whizz through its story, weeks/months passing.

I don't think she's intentionally helping the tourist trade. Who does that? Only good things she's done really is make medicine. No sign she's not kept all the money to herself.

Giving advance notice of robberies is from Lupin III!

Also, damn she was hot.
Also also, damn she was blatantly offereing sexual favours.

It was so obvious that it was the nurse xD

I can't believe after they poisoned his food he ended up eating their food again xD But I guess after finding out he was a State Alchemist they wouldn't do that again, if it was on purpose to begin with.

The best quote of the episode had to be "Who you calling a pipsqueak? I'd be tall TOO in heels!" xD

The ending was pretty funny. I'm glad she got away!

Al was cute the way he was so infatuated with Clara. lol I was hoping that she really was being a thief to save the town in some way, and was disappointed when she finally admitted that she just desired things. Kind of funny how she still ended up getting away though. :P

Okay episode, nothing real exciting. -- 3/5

The story picks up where it left off due to the long flashback, but the beginning of the real story, not thrilling as can be expected, however, his duty once again fails to perform it. Overall just the episode.
Clara is the best character in this episode. LOL

Filler, but I enjoyed it. Catwoman Psiren is cool, but we probably won't see her again.

Eh. Most of the episodes so far were more or less enjoyable, but this was was pretty lame all-around. It was completely obvious who Psiren would be; the fanservice was contrived; and the whole "doing evil for good" idea wasn't convincing at all.

If we're going to be getting a lot of this, it'll likely damage my view of the show.

I think the worst was episode 4 but this was by far the second worst. Too much filler ass garbo in this show so far.

Episode 4 Isn't filler though. The only episode In FMA03 that can even remotely be considered that is this episode.

Is this site wrong because it told me episode 4 was a filler and it definitely felt like one. http://www.animefillerlist.com/shows/fullmetal-alchemist

anyways the one off zany insane completely evil villains and the episodic nature make the show feel like filler which is a bad thing. I can see why people think brotherhood is immensely better if it's not like this. not that the shows bad the first episodes were very impressive and the cast is enjoyable so its not bad just not great so far.

That site confuses anime original content with filler so I would not trust it In the case of FMA03, as it is inherently a new story a part from Bro In da hood.

As for frodahood, it has about as bad a start In my and a significant portion of People's mind, except the bad start is all In a sprint to get through the parts of main plot that FMA03 covered but altered to fit it's own story so pre-emptively saying it is better because it's not episodic is probably unwise to assume without first hand experience.

Episodic shows are almost never as good as a continued story. Bebop is the only exception i can think of and even then I dislike the episodic nature of it. I don't think it's wrong to assume that a constant narrative would be better than an episodic one at all.
