Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

KrayZ33: Probably missed this completely, but when did Lust ever date 3-4 guys at the same time? I only remember her going out with Havoc to get information and that's it. Also find it a bit over the top to call her a slut, she hasn't acted like a slut from what I've seen at least. Also if I hadn't known she was Lust before hand I can't say that I would have known right away so not sure what you're basing it on.

So you don't think Sloth is appropriate based on how he looks. Well I don't know if I would say a little boy fits the description of Pride either or an middle aged man that doesn't really look angry most of the time as Wrath.

Prof. Chaos: I don't know some personalities doesn't fit their names, while for some the abilities feel appropriate for their name Gluttony is the prime example of personality and ability fitting the name, Sloths ability don't fit while his name is more accurate while Envys ability is appropriate in my opinion, though his personality isn't so much envy imo or if you rather Lust's personality doesn't her name.


Anyway don't remember exactly but didn't Hoeinheim mention that the homunculus represent things that Father had thrown away and reshaped them into the homunculus. Thinking about how Pride said the emotion wraith doesn't exist in him. So shouldn't that mean that they don't represent each deadly sin to a tee or our general idea of them but rather represent that part of Father.

Sloth is nothing more than a retard
his name should be "Dumb" or something like that... the only reason u are able to tell that he is Sloth is because he keeps complaining all the time.

srsly.. a bodybuilder and high-speed-sportsman represents "Sloth"?
I expected to see some skinny/pale guy who keeps yawning and nearly fall asleep when talking.

Sloth is less about being physically inactive and more about not doing what you're meant to do. If a man was a CEO of a company but let it go to ruin because he didn't care it would be Sloth, regardless if the time he should have spent on his business was spent working out. In reality that definition of Sloth (and many of the deadly sins) has changed over time, before it was more about not keeping up with your faith, not reading your bible every night etc. Not that this really applies here, other than showing that the idea of these sins takes many forms.

and not to mention that Envy is probably the "pridest" of them all and would be the perfect "Pride"
he can't stand getting mocked by "mortals"
he always states his superiority whenever possible
etc.

Assuming that outcry isn't because he is envious of their lot in life. A jealous person decrying the greatness of others isn't a stretch.

Also, concerning Wrath, it isn't necessarily violent outbreaks, as Dante describes it: "The love of justice perverted to revenge and spite." Sometimes wrath is very methodical, something like splitting a man from his closest advisers and giving him a job that he will suffer through.

All of these sins don't have to have immediate outward appearances, the end result is the important part.

[Alhuin]

The only thing I have to say about this episode is that Mustang is pure win. Enter Mustang, who single-handedly disposed of the immortal dolls, and then proceeded to single-handedly give Envy a fear for his life. Even if his reasons are based on the wrath of revenge, and, according to Scar, will ultimately consume him, it was great to see him get so much action, since we haven't for so long.

Why would Father have created a homunculus that's both physically and mentally useless? You seem to forget these fellows were handcrafted. Sloth suited perfectly the job Father had for him. An immensely strong body and a mind that wouldn't on its own seek anything else to do due to lack of interest and motivation. Father only needed to make sure Sloth kept digging and Pride was no doubt supervising that, residing in the tunnels anyway.

Pride is pretty much the only homunculus, in my opinion, that shows a distinct lack of an appropriate personality. He doesn't really show that much personality at all aside from being a wanton killer.

[KrayZ33]

the Sloth Demon in Dragon Age uses mind-manipulating abilities.
so Sloth doesn't have to be useless.

thats no excuse for sloth not being slothful enough
its not like there *has* to be a tunnel... the storywriters probably decided to do it with Sloth that way, but its not like they couldn't have thought about other ways.

oh I thought she was dating that fat guy and Mustang too... my fault then

I noticed there wasn't an Ep 53 thread, so let's merge them both into one.

This was one of the most epic eps yet and i'm glad to see they expanded on the fight scenes in 54. Man, just seeing Mustang torch Envy again and again made me feel kinda sorry for him. His final fate is very ironic and fitting considering the sin he represents, then again, I think this can be applied to how Lust and Gluttony have both died. Very fitting indeed.

The Homunculii are getting a beating, with Envy gone, there's our original 3. All that's left is a pummeled out Sloth, A missing Wrath and a Pride that is miles outside the city.

[TwisT]

53-thread exist. http://forums.gotwoot.net/showthread.php?t=18382

It's get created in GENERAL ANIME and then when the next episode thread is created the old one gets moved to this section, "Series En Fuego".

No biggie. Someone will come along and fix it, I'm sure of it.

Still waiting for episode so I'll be back to lurk some more later.

EDIT: Noes, my favorite character is gone. RIP Envy. And poor Gluttony got eaten. Only Greedlin and Wrath left of the cool ones.

Eclipse's translator Kokizzzle left, so there's no telling when they will release it. You can try these in the meantime.

Weak, any opinions on which is the better group?

[Ryllharu]

Tomodachi is perfectly watchable and sometimes good enough for archiving.



What surprised me in this episode was that Riza had asked Roy to burn the tattoo off of her back, and that is wasn't a supreme technique of fire alchemy tattooed there, it was just fire alchemy in general. I had assumed this whole time that that it had gotten messed up as a result of her being shot or hurt during the battles. Also, she wanted it gone for the sole reason that she had seen Roy use it, and wanted no one who was even remotely less responsible to learn it as well.

She witnessed the horror that alchemists can create, and knowing that she was the cause of some of the worst of it was too much for her to bear.


This was a pretty powerful episode with the three of them not letting Roy fall to his fury, and with Ed's realization about Envy's nature. Armstrong was also great. He never fails to put a smile on my face, his boxing was badass.

[Buffalobiian]

I had a day off today, so decided not to wait. I ended up getting Ecrisp, since the naming got the better of me due to the similar spelling (they ended up releasing a v2. :S).

Didn't find anything bad about their subs, and video quality is definitely watchable.

Episode discussion follows:

---------------------------------------------------








Envy's departure turned out to be pretty dramatic, to the point that I think he even took the focus from Mustang, ultimately. "The brat" turned out to be the only one to (openly) understand him, and also the only one he bid farewell to.

For once, our cheezy "Fullmetal Alchemist!" announcer did something appreciable. It fully resets the mood after Envy's death to get us ready for some Alex action.

It was also great to see Olivier NOT talking down to her brother, or calling him trash for a change. I'm personally glad to see her shout happily, while a cool "Hmmf, I expect nothing less from my brother" would have been more consistent with her outwardly cold character.



(edit after Ryll's post): Yeah, the flame alchemy thing surprised me too, now that you mention it. From that, I gather that people were trying to research flame alchemy, as opposed to having flame alchemy being a usable but imperfect technique and working to enhance that. I guess there'd be other people who tried this research too, but no one ever came up with the ultimate formula (ie one that works, or isn't limited to creating campfires).

One other thing that was done well in Mustang's scene was the way he came back. It's really a bit hard to believe the hatred born from a close(st?) friend's death will be so easily overcome with just talk or a threat. He had to give up his revenge for something that's even more important, and that is the currently living Hawkeye.

[Penner]

Aww, i felt a little sad when Envy died... then cut to the Armstrongs being all awesome as usual!

Kickass ep!

[masamuneehs]

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.

[itadakimasu]

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.

[Paulyboy]

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!!

"We're happy to announce that rumors of our demise have been slightly premature."

[DarthEnderX]

Okay, I got a question.

Considering how much this series loves to peg people from various nations as having a uniform appearance...where the hell did that black guy come from?

Which black guy?

[Sam98034]

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!
