Yay! A discussion thread!
It was a good episode, Greedling was great and I liked the music placement... I think the cliffhanger might have worked better following the manga's way (Riza's throat getting slit, Roy yelling), but this isn't bad either. I can't wait till next week's episode - it's going to be painful to watch, I hope it's pulled off nicely :) |
One of the best placements of the Battle Scherzo Music so far.
I so freakin love that bgm. |
Beautiful.

Oh, and Greedlin was a thing of horrific beauty in this one... ^_^ |

Greedling's rampage felt more vicious and intense in the manga. Also Ling's crying expressions were more... expressive. But oh well.
Other than that, very enjoyable episode with a cute and creative cliffhanger. Best scene was Buccanear's death though. Pretty poignant, felt it more than in the manga. |

Just wondering, what do you mean by a 'cute' cliffhanger? |
It also felt that Greed also held great respect for old man Fu. In the manga, you can't tell whether it was Ling or Greed speaking. However, in the anime you can easily tell it is Greed's voice that sound concern for Fu.

really? cause ling would never refer to Fuu as "the old man/geezer" That's how Greed refers to Fuu, so I knew it was him (I assume you're talking about when Lan Fan is holding onto his arm on the ledge)
Love this episode. Greed shows everyone what the Ultimate Shield is capable of. As he said, Edward Elric was a bad match for him. But against anyone who isn't an alchemist that figures out how the Ultimate Shield works, Greed is nigh indestructible, and probably one of the 3 most powerful homunculi. |

Is Buccaneer really dead? Like, dead dead? He managed to survive a hell of a lot so far :D The Greed counterattack was good, although it could have been more overwhelming (less explosions/more blood) but I don't really mind anyway. The end left me with a suspicion that Mustang says he'll do it, snatch the red stuff and pour it on Hawkeye...but iunno, it sounds too cliche, so I'm expecting something to surprise me.

And I was a bit disappointed. He didn't look quite as evil and intense in the anime. Quote:

Yay, liked Lings action moments! Especially liked how he looked when standing on lift while going down :p
Nice to see the editional scene with Olivier and seeing how she had smacked the old geezer. Poor Buccaneer :( Thouh I liked how he refers to Olivier as Queen, he sure respected her a lot. |

Buccaner's death was way more touching in the anime for me, too. All in all - a very enjoyable episode. Ah another thing: HAAAAAAAAWKEYE! T___T God that scene kills me everytime DX. Expected the throat slit to be the clifff hangar, but this one isn't bad either. Works better with the beginning of next episode too. You know, whenever my favourites get hurt, I feel it too ._. |
I loved it, especially Greed's/Ling's rush there against the Central soldiers and when he descended on the lift. They both rose with 20 points on my "cool meter" there. I really like the chemistry between Ling and Greed, they contrast each other and what the other lacks the other makes up for and they help each other out. Greed and Ling are definitely two of my favourite characters.
Buccaneer's death was pretty emotional and touching, I felt a little liquid on it's way out but it never did. I liked it. The cliffhanger made me gasp, I got a little frantic when the ending credits suddenly came and I went "It's over already? Camaaawn!" I never read the manga though so I don't know how all these scenes were in it, but I really liked this episode and like many others said the music placement was brilliant. And I'm pretty new to the FMA forum here (I didn't see it until just now and I was like "YATTA!"). But good to be here. Oh and I DON'T WANT TO WAIT A WEEK! |
Damn this is one of the toughest cliffhangers the series has thrown at us. I mean we are actually supposed to wait a week to find out what happens!? Mustang is pretty much put in a terrible situation and doesn't have many choices. Even if he does it the cost will be tremendously high. I doubt he'll luck out like Ed and only have to hand over a limb. Not that losing a limb is easy, but there are certainly worse things.
Things are looking pretty bad below the city. Ed and company are captured and Hawkeye is bleeding out. |
Awesome episode. I'm still disappointed with how underplayed Mustang's powers seem during the rejected Bradleys scene. He should have been owning them. I'll forgive the mangaka if the whole 5 sacrifices thing is truly amazing and totally worth Mustang's pathetic display.
|
Well he can't really be blowing things up there with everyone around. And those oldires are far superior to dolls. While he might be burnng one soldier, others won't let him be.
