Oh, that was him? I thought it was some random. Guess I wasn't wrong.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
good eye.
i was pretty impressed with the fight in this episode. as most people said, it's rare for a show to be consistently good, but this remake is turning out that way.
i absolutely loved the scene with Pride and Wrath speaking (Wrath is the fucking bomb). and i liked the end of this episode. the music and sudden cuts work perfectly.
got a real bone to pick with the first scene though. Envy is as delightfully evil as always, but, fuck, I spit on that retardedly over-powerful hinting... thought it was a pretty anti-climactic way to reveal what could have been a huge shocker.
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".
you are talking about FMA here... both series were epic and the manga is even more...
I think that just best describes the show. I could not agree with you more!
Envy looks like he's made of lead or something.

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.

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.
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.
Respect the joindate, not the postcount ;P
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.

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.
Amazing. The scene where they were inside and then cut to Gluttony worrying was classic, like his stomach was aching. And nice to see Envy's true form.
Somehow summoning a little blade when facing a monster the size of a tyrannosaurus doesn't seem like the smartest idea.
Right now it looks like Mustang is tightly grasping the shorter stick in the competition with Bradley. It's quite interesting, though, that Bradley doesn't seem inclined to neutralize Mustang more forcefully but rather tame him.
Great as always, and that true form of Envy is some freaky ass shit O.o
Also, the pygmypanda knows kung-fu!

Seeing Envy transform was ten times more amazing than it was in the manga. I'm so pumped for the next episode. :3
yeah...he also seems much bigger in the anime as well.
i do hope they include some more of Envy's body screaming and moaning, next episode. i think his animated form is cool (a little green in that dark abyss, though), but i really thought the freakiest thing about it is all the corpses/souls bubbling and shouting. that was the gut-wrencher for me when i saw the scene in the manga.
comedy was on point in this episode. Gluttony and Al make for such an unexpectedly comic duo. Scar seems to be turning the proverbial corner at the intersection of Forced Villian and Anti-Hero boulevards, and I'm not sure I really like that.
Bradley's hands shaking while he recounts how Hughes' daughter's crying infuriated him at the funeral has got to be in my top five Wrath moments ever. you think Gluttony's stomach is deep?
like Kraco said, it really seems that Bradley is making the classic villain "KILL HIM ALREADY!" mistake by keeping Mustang alive. He does have the good sense to separate him from his loyal subordinates, but you have to wonder what it all means, especially if you recall what he said to Pride last episode.

Gluttony blushing when Al touched his belly was strangely heartwarming. Definitely put a smile on my face, no matter how evil that plump bastard may seem, there has always been a naive innocence to balance it out.
That line definitely proved once and for all that Bradley is a complete monster.
Not having read the manga, I'm just guessing at his motivations for doing this. To me, Bradley is doing what all villains set up for a fall do, trying to prove they are dominant by breaking the will of those who oppose them. They kill the weak, kill the small fry, kill the incompetent. But the ones who are smart, clever, or devious in their own right, they have too much pride to just kill them off. They want them to submit. For characters like Bradley, the reward of that far outweighs the risk. Watching someone who they consider a worthy opponent (but still view as a total inferior, which is why they usually fail), squirm, suffer, and eventually break is too far tempting a scenario.
