no footage after the ED this time. and what a fucking title for the next episode. subtle mary and joseph.
well i didnt think it was a bad episode, but it was a bit slow in parts, and i didnt particularly care for some of the dialogue. it was nice to see more stuff with Hawkeye and Mustang's crew, as i always have liked those characters.
knox is a gruff character that i like, but even i thought they spent too much time on him this episode. i was sorta surprised they even included the scene with his family in the anime.
Scar is motherfucking man.
That's right, Falman. It looks positively cold as fuck up North!
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".
Scene after ending again.
Man Bradley is just awesome. Even with his family he can still freely threaten the brothers without his wife/kid noticing. And looks like we finally know who that woman is. Looks like the Armstrong family really is a military family.
Yeah, it was a pretty tense cup of tea they were enjoying there.Originally Posted by NeoCybercoin
Scar certainly got a troublesome fellow to follow his tracks. Even tracks he never left.
I wasn't expecting Kimberlee to play the role of a detective. The way he's been portrayed throughout the series, I thought he was going to be more of the lunatic murdering type, especially after receiving the stone.
Armstrong using bookshelves like doors was gold.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Kimberlee? *laughs*
my bad.......Kimblee*
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
I think it suits him fine. He gives the kind of an impression that once he gets an interesting and worthy target, nothing short of his own death will stop him and he will proceed with a psychopath's vigor and ingenuity.
It does. Just not expected (by me).
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
one of the reasons i love the manga is what they do with some of the characters that were only one or two notes in the original anime adaptation. Kimblee is certainly one of those, because he is almost always the sanest, most level headed guy in the room, even when you know that deep down he is a fucking nut.
and i think Kraco said it perfectly. Kimblee seemed almost personally insulted that Scar was still out there, and he even ignored Grumman in this episode when it was obvious that Kimblee recognized who he was. (god only knows how the Grumman plotline is going to play out..)
Bradley. Bradley, Bradley, Bradley. I really liked the tea scene (even if Selim is annoying as fuck), because Bradley is just so different during it. You see him laughing things off, feigning sadness, acting like a normal guy so much, but this is one of the few scenes I can remember where he actually lives up to his Homunculus name. He just looks positively angry as hell that the Elric brothers are there, that they are looking at his wife and son with those sympathetic, questioning faces, knowing he's a monster. I also like how Hawkeye is just sorta there when he comes out of the room.
Yes, the family of Armstrong is so awesome that they have bread two kickass characters. I love the fact that Alex Louis always seems to be sent out to do these stealth / contact assignments, considering he has got to be the most conspicuous guys out there.
my favorite scene though is when Kimblee pulls a complete Velma on Scar, spotting where he might have gotten off the train, then just staring at the map and almost giving us a "North or South? Heads or Tails? Fuck it, I'm going with North" moment.
edit. also think one of the reasons i like Kimblee so much in this episode is the angles we get for his scenes. there are so many simple shots, straight from behind, directly in front (his eyes following his finger on the map sticks out), or weird contrasting cuts like the parallel shot for when he and Grumman cross paths. It just makes for such jarringly powerful scenes, because he is almost dominating the camera, and anime is more often than not a lot of side angles, half cocked front angles. (the bright white suit helps too).

This ep was just a delight to watch from start to finish, and im SO looking forward to seeing Armstrong's...sister i guess? Anyway, it'll be awesome!!

He waits for Eclipse like the majority of forum posters do. Nothing wrong with posting that though, might I add.

Ya, I'm going to keep waiting but this release is being pretty slow. *shrug*
if you want, you can watch it at animelime, They usually host it as soon as any sub is out.
Sometimes. I'll stream it there, and dl eclipse later. You know, so I can get my fix.
edit: Thanks Buffalobiian, if this had been released earlier... I would have left work much earlier than I did. =P

When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments. Here was a machine of precision and balance for the convenience of man. And (unlike subsequent inventions for man's convenience) the more he used it, the fitter his body became. Here, for once, was a product of man's brain that was entirely beneficial to those who used it, and of no harm or irritation to others. Progress should have stopped when man invented the bicycle. ~Elizabeth West, Hovel in theHills
bit of footage after the ED
if anyone ever doubted that Kimblee is the sanest madman out there, i think this episode shed plenty of light to clear away that delusion. "who the hell said you could stop this train?"
oh, Kimblee, pride is going to be your downfall. i know you have this idea in your head that you need to finish the job from Ishbal, but not bringing any back-up? and then severely underestimating your opponent? (but, jesus, where the hell did Scar get that big huge pipe from? edit: oh, it's there in his hand after the second explosion. He's hiding it with his body somewhat, and it's almost blocked out by the subtitles)
I like how Kimblee picked the absolute worst moment possible to let go of his hat. You hold on to the damn thing for so long, in a battle where you know you are at a disadvantage, and, just, jesus...
this is one of those encounters in FMA that will never make any sense to me. Kimblee has two Philosopher's Stones with him, and his only orders are to capture Marcoh and kill Scar. once he finds out the man with Scar isn't Marcoh, what in the good sane world keeps him from just blowing the whole thing up to smithereens? (answer: plot convenience)
I really like the voice they got to do Buccaneer. Olivier's seems to be a rather good fit too. Also, every time I hear Garfield (the queeny gay automail tech who Winry is studying under) speak, it amazes me that the same guy is doing both he and Scar (who was freaking shouting off his rocker this episode).
not the best episode ever, but it has its moments.
