Wow, that was a really high tension episode with lots of new information to absorb.

Especially liked the final scene, but what a horrible place for a cliffhanger XD

just out of curiosity, what did it end on? (place in spoilers for non-manga readers who don't know what happens :P )

Good cliffhanger, imo.

Yeah it's a good cliffhanger. I expected they'd end the episode on that.

People complained about the way last week's episode ended and I thought it was awesome. This week though people seem to like it yet it sounds kinda weak to me.

The final scene of chapter 67 would've been a better cliffhanger IMO.

Great episode, with all the tension and the cliffhanger. My only complaint is that their repeating of the soundtrack reallly jarred me in this particular episode... Please, new music! Please! It's on freakin episode 35!

Couldn't agree more. A Briggs/Olivier Theme is the least they could do, goddamnit.

But yeah, good episode, albeit not as good as it could have been. Some skipped dialogue here and there, and god the animators couldn't draw Olivier to save their lives in this episode. Same with Kimblee, who never looks half as cool as he does in the manga.

See you next time, Goldtooth, indeed.

I've noticed the outdated bg music as well, maybe it will change after the new OP and ED are aired, which is coming up soon, I believe.

Ah, Goldtooth haha, nice to see him finally make his debut, though we won't be seeing much more of him for a longgg time.

Overall, this was a great episode, I'm loving every minute of Briggs. =]

Goldtooth has already appeared earlier, in King Bradley's flashback.

Great episode.

What did the flashback guy from episode 1 have to say that made Ed surprised? (Haven't watched a sub yet).

Eh? I think she looks spot on from the manga. You're gonna have to cite a comparison.

It doesn't make any sense why we're not getting any new music, because as it stands there's no way near enough material for a second soundtrack. :(

Forget the comparison, just look at this shot:

That's way too ugly, damnit.

Meh, I did find shot odd but that was about it.

^ I kinda agree with Endless Twilight; I keep finding Olivier ugly, especially in that screencap... Maybe it's the lips...

Very well done cliffhanger. My cousin love Fullmetal Alchemist, but she's too busy with school to watch since... oh before the Lust - Mustang fight. I've been telling her "Armstrong's Sister" is going to be one of her favorite characters- this episode is going to be so well received...

I've never had any problem with her appearance, lips included, in the manga though. I mean obviously she's not supposed to be an incredibly beautiful and feminine woman, but a tough looking one, and the character design shows and accomplishes that just fine.

But unfortunately I feel the animators in this episode couldn't bring said character design to life properly in this particular episode. She looked fine in 34 though.

Doesn't olivier have a mole? I didn't see any in the anime.

Yeah that too. It was missing in most of her shots.

They get Ed's little scar that almost nobody notices right, but forget about Olivier's mole. Wtf.

Ah, you're right, I completely forgot about that. Plus, I didn't even notice Olivier's missing mole and I've been reading the manga for years. >_>
