| Awesome learning about their backstory a bit. Now we know how AL got stuck in that armour aswell. |

| Really good origin story. |

| Hm, felt kinda early for deep backstory like this. I'm trying not to pass judgement too quickly on such a highly regarded series, but these first 3 episodes have been pretty slow, and heavy with the themes. I hope I don't feel like I'm being preached at in every episode xP |
 |
| This anime is very emotional <3 The show does seem pretty interesting though, and the fact that it's so ridiculously highly rated gives me hope. |
 |
| Sometimes the most powerful are the unexpected ones, and they have been through so much. |
 |
| They took their time to work on Ed and Al's backstory, as well as Winry's backstory with her parents' death. Good job so far. |
supermegasonic said: i can't believe they burned their house, guess they wanted to throw away their past. Was there any need though to burn down their house? It almost looks like they did it in order to not be able change their minds later |

| Good episode! Not much action but it did a great job to bring more depth to the bond between the brothers and their mother as well as Ed's issues with his father. I also liked the progression from failing the transmutation, getting new hope from Roy, then having the painful operation and the training afterwards to work towards their new goal. Too bad something similar is largely missing in the first episodes of BH. Would've been nice... One thing I don't agree with is that Winry's backstory about her parents death was that much better here. I saw many people in the BH thread complain about it stating that it was well done here but we only see them in one scene and the next scene they are already dead. Does not make me feel for them or Winry too much since it's too little to get emotional over it IMO. |
| Pretty epic flashback episode and it's quite interesting how much they are hyping up the one and only hohenheim. |

| it's nice to know some background about the main characters, but please, no more sad flashback episodes v.v |
i wish i was a cloud |
| way more focused than fmab, much prefer this type of pace tried the dub for this one, ed's voice is way better but i prefer the sub for literally everyone else, might switch back |
| good opinions on anything, block = I own you |
| rip the old house. It was nice |
