Haha, no joke. For someone's who's been alive for so long, he really hasn't smartened up at all. An immortal body must also have its drawbacks. After all, who cares if Plan A fails? It's not like you'd die or anything...Originally Posted by Kraco
Father got some interesting stuff happening. From the looks of things he's increased the size of his "flask" to that of the country, or at least, Central.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
It isn't the first time an anime 'animates' something that was just published few weeks prior. Toradora and Cross Game are the most recent examples.
Best episode of the series?
Cool... I have been wondering how many more episodes there are going to be.The last chapter comes out June 12th, which would make like episode 61. So the last 2 episodes will be the last chapter, or close to it. So there is no way the anime will spoil the manga.
The only thing that comes to mind is:
That was really good shit.
Neither windows media player nor media player classic can run the file?
Edit: Nevermind, reinstalled CCCP everything is fine now.

I'm running KMPlayer which played the file (HD version) but it did hiccup when I opened it which I thought was odd. No idea if there is actually something wrong with the file.
I always love when Lin comes out, it is interesting that he seems to be unable to use Greed's armor, I wonder if that is a learning thing, maybe because he isn't an alchemist?
So, they have 3 human sacrifices, they wanted 5 right? Doctor Marcoh wasn't featured in the scenes so presumably he wasn't taken?
hd version played fine on vlc
that gold tooth creep needs to burn in hell.
Was Marcoh one to begin with?
The file took a little long to "load" before it played, but it was fine otherwise.
Those two fellows died well.
Fu and Buccaneer were some tough bastards. They went down well.

ah. "The Good Doctor". When he first appeared to magically bring Kimblee back to the battlefield, I certainly didn't recognize him as the guy from Bradley's flashback. I am quite strictly of the opinion that characters with no names and to whom the audience has had almost zero prior exposure should not be at the core of central plot developments like this one. to me it smacks of poor delivery by the author. but, well, looking at the guy, it's pretty obvious why Father would have kept him out of the fray until now.
Bradley clones. Great. More clones.
Well I love the way they did the battle with Fu and Buccaneer going up against Bradley. But I still dislike the placement of scenes, with all this going on right when a berserk GreedLin gets a shot at an injured Bradley in the shounen right of passage "revenge round"...
I can understand Ed not killing the Bradley clones, but, goddamn Scar, you're better than that. Even Hawkeye made him look weak.
there are four alchemists who have opened the gate. Alphonse and Ed, Izumi, and, of course, Hoenheim.
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".
Oh that might have been me making things up, I guess I thought that because father kept him alive.
We only ever saw Hoenheim witness the gate being opened, he didn't actually do it himself, right? Though that might be good enough.
true enough. i had always thought that because he was at the actual transmutation thing where Xerxes got swallowed that he'd done it (like, Father helped him rise to be an esteemed alchemist, i thought)

They're not clones. They're the same age as Bradley, but they are human-born the same way that Bradley is. They're just the ones left over after having succeeded with turning Bradley into a homunculus. According to the doctor, they've just been training in combat the whole rest of this time.
...and that is where Ed and Roy have a distinct disadvantage. They're alchemists, Roy needs time and room to use fire alchemy, and Ed needs the same. While Ed is trained well by Izumi, he's always been the weaker of the two brothers in terms of physical combat. He can hold his own, but he can't win. Roy is even worse. He may be a combat veteran, but he's used to standing farther away and just blasting his opponents.
On the other hand, Riza is used to infighting with pistols, long-range sniping, and she has the added benefit of being quick on the triggers. The Ersatz Bradleys can swat some of her bullets aside and dodge a few others, but she can put a lot downrange. She is used to being pressed in combat in this manner, as her attacks are rarely one-hit kills like Roy's.
Scar...doesn't have much of an excuse, you're right. I think a lot of this is due to his recent combat experience versus his old methods. He's supposed to be a monk or something like that, but ever since he inherited his brother's arm, he just goes for the berserk Grab and Disintegrate. The Ersatz Bradleys, like the man himself, are more suited to dodges and quick rapier strikes. If Scar can't grab them or hit them, they'll always beat him because with their blades they have longer reach. I agree that he should be doing better, but I think there are plenty of good reasons why Riza was putting the other three to shame.
Agree with all that Ryll said. Just wanted to add that Scar has an excuse. We saw it when Ed got his northern automail and got the speed upgrade that Scar is not good against speed. And he did try and destroy his automail but it was a different alloy. In the case of the Bradly-wannabes if the are supposed to be like Bradly they should be fast. Scars weak link. And the only thing thats get thrown in his face that he can really grab is the swords. I i don't think grabbing a sword is the best idea, since it should basically mean he would lose his hand just to be able to destroy one sword. So IMO he has an excuse to perform like this.
Well if we're talking disappointing things, I'd say it's more of a shame to see Greed pinned down and stuck for several seconds because of a knife shoved through his coat into the ground. If it was through his body then fine but his coat?
Can also think of one more reason for Scar not being as effective besides the speed and dodging though it's more of a sum of things. The Wrath left overs are coordinating their attacks, like Ryll said they're not really giving Ed and Roy enough time to their thing and the same goes for Scar. If it was one on one he'd probably wouldn't have much of a problem, but with several ones moving nonstop and attacking him in succession it becomes harder to seal their movement long enough to grab them.
Pretty damn good episode none the less.
You are here alone again
In your sweet insanity
All too calm, you hide yourself from reality
Do you call it solitude? Do you call it liberty?
When all the world turns away to leave you lonely
This is what happens after you battle dolls and Envy the whole day. Makes you soft and Pandora will shit you dead.
epic episode is epic...
only complain is that the first 8 minutes are all talk...
Man, i had COMPLETELY forgot about that gold-toothed dude and that he 'made' Bradley, nice little surprise twist there ^^

well this is one of the most eventful chapters in all of the manga, and i was glad to see that the anime adaptation did a pretty good job with most of it.
i dunno, the scene with Lin screaming for an alchemist hit me a good deal harder in the manga, but i did enjoy the added on action scenes with him fighting.
The Good Doctor. THIS is why his absence up until this point makes me even angrier. he's a perfectly good bad guy, and he plays a crucial role in this pivotal scene in the late hours of the story, but it just doesn't feel as good as it could, since he's a no-name who we have no familiarity with whatsoever.
Eclipse translated Mustang's "wakatta" (the very last line of the episode) as "I will". although that phrase in that situation could have that connotation, a more accurate translation is "I understand" or "I get it"
