    Did you not watch the last episode? Edward had to sacrifice the time they had spent together after they tried to transmutate their mother. I think Alphonse even forgot that they did the transmutation.

    He remembers him and he knows Ed has sacrifised a lot for him even though he might not know exactly what. Thats why he said he was going to work hard to meet ed again.

    watched the first episode. one of my friends back home constantly raves about this show, even though he really never watches anime and considers the latest Yugi-oh to be good entertainment (which is why i didn't jump at his recommendation of FMA...)

    animation looks beautiful. the pacing in the episode moved damn fast. good voice acting. didn't really get too much of a laugh out of anything except for them making fun of Ed's height. seems like there's going to be tons of action here.

    ...there had better be a good explanation for why Ed can do Alchemy without the Circle... that gives him an edge in combat like an uzi over a bolt-action rifle... (and DONT tell me what it is!)

    so many people raved about this show, so i'm trying it out. initial reaction: Better than average show.

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    There's certainly an explanation. I'll leave it for you to decide whether it's good or not. It can't be explained at all without spoiling.

    I both like and dislike FMA, and consequently it will never make it into my list of top animes. Everything else about the series is fine, technical things especially, but many the fights. God I hated some of those. I nearly ripped hair off my head and armrests off my chair because of the frustration so many of the fights caused me. They partially ruined the show for me.

    However, I could still recommend this to people. My brother seemed to like it no problem, and I know many other people who do as well.

    lol kraco... could you possibly get any more vague with the kind of 'frustration' you're talking about?

    don't be that afraid of spoiling for me...

    There's a strange imbalance between how powerful the alchemy looks like and often is, and how Edward actually uses it in the fights. Especially after the homonculus enter the stage. They are pictured as nearly invinsible beings, yet I didn't catch a single word of explanation why. Why couldn't Edward freely use his alchemy when fighting them, when he could use it (every now and then) in the other fights.

    Damn, man. I don't want to remember those things. As time has gone by, I already forgot some of the hateful feelings the fights in this series caused for me. I wouldn't care otherwise, but as I said, it was a fine series otherwise. Of course there have been other series with quite similar problems, like the recent Bleach fillers with Ichigo just standing still and not fighting opponents at all.
