it was sad to see Envy go, because he's one of the few totally despicable bastards in this show, but even HE's got a bit of a soft side.
and Roy almost losing his mind was good. i usually hate the "no kill policy" that good guys tote around in shounen anime/manga, but this was a nice variation on that theme.
Father and Hoenheim, face to face at last.
note: i watched Tomodachi's release, and it was watchable. it was actually quite good, i found.
Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity.

Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
i didn't really like the way things played out w\ envy. I was enjoying Musting pwning him.
The new setup... i've been watching most of them on the computer but am using ps3 media server alot more lately.
PS3 Media server is the shit, I just wish they would update more but the forums are active. Also I used MKV2OB to convert the MKV and H264 files if you have a usb in win32 format, cause sometimes the streaming fucks up and the copying takes awhile. But still the best program. I have the 2nd season of Gundam 00 on my ps3 slim! I love it! Im also doing that with FMA but still... only 8 gigs left!!
No one but the enemy will ever teach you how to destroy and conquer. Only the enemy shows you where you are weak. Only the enemy tells you when he is strong. And the rules of the game are what you can do to him and what you can stop him from doing to you. I am your enemy from now on. From now on, I am your teacher."

I figure fire would be very easy to make and VERY hard to control. The main danger being blowing oneself up. Without Mustang's secret it's like being in a room full of gas; light a match and things go boom!

Ouch. They were indeed painful to watch. The piercings that is.
These shorts that came with the BD/DVD releases weren't content heavy, as you'd expect, but nonetheless provided enjoyable padding to the main story. (someone who knows can tell us whether these were studio-developed, or adapted from the manga).
The first OVA only concreted the idea that human transmutation without a philosopher's stone was impossible, but I really enjoyed 2 and 3. In particular, OVA2 answers the long-nagging question of where all those piercings came from, and while it was funny to know that they were "+1 life" tokens from Ed, it was even more interesting to know that both Hawkeye and Winry's somewhat similar appearance wasn't co-incidence or laziness on behalf of the author. (If the latter was true, then at least she was motivated enough to work around that laziness).
OVA3 was pure joy. Remember how wolves are meant to work together and pick off the weakest link? When these guys don't even want to get involved, you know you up against shit you don't wanna mess with.

I've still got to watch the third one but those first 2 were quite enjoyable, thanks for the links.
It's FABulous.
So much action, so much of everything that's awesome.
And Behold, MUSCLES !
Christ. They were quick about this one.
It feels like a lot of ppl are gonna die next week. Let's see what his ultimate eye is made of.
Finally Sloth is dead.. he was starting to get on my nerves.
Those muscle scenes turned out hilarious, much more so than the old ones where Armstrong was alone. There was some condensed shounen spirit there, reaching the same kind of atmosphere Gurren Lagann had. Even though those men were hardly young anymore.
The doll soldiers have been disappointing, though. Maybe the scientist who said they aren't yet finished was more correct than he even knew. They are so brainless zombies that they pose a significant danger only to small packs of ordinary footmen taken by surprise. I wish they had taken a more horror story like approach with them, making them appear out of nowhere, overpower, kill, and disappear, with only briefly shown on screen. This cannon fodder approach makes them no good and hardly worth the attention.
Well, with Wrath returning home, I guess there's no need to worry about enemies being too weak.
Another Homunculus bites the dust, so that leaves just Pride and Wrath for the bad guys.
Loved the muscle friendship scenes, those were some epic manly sparkles going on there.
Looking forward to some more bradley action, man did he cut a bullet in half in the preview? XD insane.
Haha, and here I thought Alex was getting shown down, only to find that he'd actually join in. Having witnessed the bear throw not too long ago, it was fun to see Sloth posing no more a threat than a bear hunt for Izumi.
I wonder what Hoenheim did that stopped Father from absorbing his stone...

I'd imagine Hoenheim have tried to either get rid of the stone or tweak it somehow so that he'd be able to age and die. And maybe that was a result of it.Originally Posted by Buffalobiian
YES finally!, next ep is going to be Wrath-tastic!!

this week was okay (yeah, the dolls pretty much lose their effect after the first three episodes). i thought the scene with Armstrong and Izumi's husband could have been funnier, and i was pretty disappointed with the fight between Hoenheim and Father.
Bradley is the fucking man.

From this episode it became apparent that most of the "high level" alchemists (the ones who have some knowledge of the truth, or don't use transmutation circles) focus mainly on solid matter + shape manipulation. Ed, Al, Father, Hoenheim and Izumi all predominantly used the surrounding earth/walls to make projectiles, tools or giant fists for the most part, while the only "normal" alchemist to do so was Alex.
It irks me to know why that's the case, whether solid matter is the most effective, or if their knowledge doesn't extend to more specialised fields such as ice, fire or whatever's been shown.
That is, if those are even a "specialization" compared to matter transmutation at all.
