Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

I think I actually felt more bad for that dog that had her arm strapped to it, it looked so pathetic.

Nah. It's a lucky dog. Once it shakes the arm off, it will have a perfect nice and juicy meal: Bone and meat. What more could a dog ask for?

Bradley has a nice upper hand as long as he's the big boss of the military. A thousand men will move with a single word from his mouth. However, now that the bunch of heroes knows his real identity, things will definitely get interesting. It's a game of elimination both ways. However, Bradley should have already various plans waiting just for cases like this. Mustang will need to come up with one from scratch, and that won't be necessarily easy, nor does he have many allies.

So awesome, so very awesome!

@Xyrox: You're right, I missed it. Thanks.

That much is true, but Mustang is Colonel because of his ability to organize military operations. Colonel is just under "General" in rank, after all. Colonels are typically in charge of a regiment -- typically a few hundred to five thousand soldiers. (A brigadier general would be in charge of a brigade, which is two to five regiments. In America, a General organizes a "division" or army)

This is a war of information now. They're going to keep picking each other off, one at a time, until one side finds the opportunity to win it all, "legitimately" in the eyes of the State. Mustang needs proof that Bradley is issuing illegal orders, part of a conspiracy, etc. Bradley needs to either quietly kill off Mustang's support staff, or prove that they are part of a conspiracy against him, probably after destroying any evidence against him.

(This is starting to remind me of Babylon 5. That's a good show too, though I thought it was boring as a kid)

Shao May imagining Al as the highest order of life-form was a funny moment for me. Likewise with Ed and the old guy being below protozoans and how Al conveniently "ate" it.

Thoroughly enjoyable episode. I liked it more than the last, which I was only lukewarm about, having had my fill of Winry/Scar scenes already by then.

I liked that Edward took the gun.

It would have been most epic if Ed had really died.

[Marik]

Damn, that was a great episode.

Looks like Lin has been holding back up until now. He was able to hold his own against Envy with no assistance. He really impressed me.

I loved Shao May in this episode. Her expressions were hilarious.

I liked that Edward took the gun.

Yeah, he has that will to live now. He can't make Winry-chan cry out of sadness anymore, only out of joy.

There's never anything bad to say about this show, wich is kinda rare.

It's consistently awesome.

[SilentSnake]

It's also nice to see Hughes' death did make impact on the characters and it is being mentioned whereas it isn't uncommon for chars to just die and almost never being mentioned again.

I loved FMA first series, but the more I see the new one the more I'm thankful they redo the whole thing and follow the manga now. Without a doubt - it's pure joy.

[Buffalobiian]

Envy looks like he's made of lead or something.

[ForteCross]

you are talking about FMA here... both series were epic and the manga is even more...

[digitalrurouni]

I think that just best describes the show. I could not agree with you more!

[Buffalobiian]

I never watched the first series, but even I felt that the beginning wasn't as good as the later parts. They may have truly rushed it, as many have suggested. While understandable, I don't think consciously rushing earlier material was a good idea, especially if they really wanted to make this the "proper" version.

[Uberbaka]

As an anime-first guy, I still feel that both versions of the series stand on their own as excellent series' which are worth watching.

[Kraco]

While understandable, I don't think consciously rushing earlier material was a good idea, especially if they really wanted to make this the "proper" version.

There are hosts of ardent fanboys and fangirls worshipping the shelves under the older anime's dvds so it's not really realistic of the studio to try to make this the only real version per se. The sole thing marketing this version is the fact it will (?) follow the manga till the end.

Personally I've liked this a lot more, because when watching the old anime I always felt the homunculus to be highly annoying in various ways, especially plot wise, but in this version I rather like them.

weird that no one commented on the body of the priest from the firsts episodes that was eaten by gluttony.

Oh, that was him? I thought it was some random. Guess I wasn't wrong.

[Penner]

I agree with Kraco, in the first series i too thought the homonculus was kinda 'meh'

But in this one they're really cool, with the exception of Wrath, who's far above just cool, hes totally fucking badass.

[Testarossa Autodrive]

I noticed that too about the Homonculi; especially Lust. She turned into some kind of softy in the first series, which wasn't bad, per se, but I like how much more ruthless and vengeful she was in the manga adaptation. She definitely went out with a bang.
