Finally. Epic episode was epic. Awesome animation in the last part, and both Mustang and Envy's seiyuu did a fantastic job indeed.

I can't think of any other way he could have pissed off Mustang more. As you said, it made the flamerape even more sastifying. So glad they did this part of the manga justice, I expect a lot from the next episode too. Good job, BONES !

Wow, if I didn't love Mustang so much already, this episode definitely makes me adore his character even more =3 I loved all his shots and he's finally in the spotlight again, I'm glad ^^
The first half of the episode got a little confused... so they intentionally kidnapped Wrath's wife just to have her broadcast on the radio? >_> The purpose of which is to gain the trust of the citizens? |

It's been a long a time that I've been anxiously waiting this that who killed Maes Hughes unaware that It was Mrs Hughes, Envy-in-Disguise.
For a YEAR!! Oh yeah, did I mentioned that This episode kinda reminds me of Gundam 00 where Lyle Fights Ali Al-Sachez which both was same seiyuu? |

That was badass! Roy's most GAR moments of epicness in 20 minutes of ecstasy! I only gave the episode a 9 because of the poor cliffhanger, I bet 50 bucks that the "Roy" who is with Hawkeye is Envy...and the preview doesn't really help We do get to see some Alex next episode though!

I giuess animators expected us to believe that Riza is Envy because of that face.
Anyway aweasome episode! Go Roy! He sure loved Hughes a lot. So far he is probably the only one because of who Roy shows so many emotions.

Though I definitely won't deny that he was way overconfident and severely understimated his opponent here. Anyways, I'm surprised to see all the anime-only watchers cheering so blindly for Roy without being at least a little shocked with his current behaviour. You do realize he's torturing an opponent for pleasure? In that sense, he's no different from Envy at this point. |

aww, they ended at the end of the corresponding chapter. but the events that follow this is where it gets really really juicy. i think they drew out the first half of the episode a bit, but when it go going, it was amazing. holy crap, Roy pissed off is frightening.

Gah I cant figure it out!
Brilliant episode, no question, but is that piece of music that plays right after the eyecatches- when Mustang is telling everyone to go ahead because Envy is his prey- new? I cant remember it, but I cant tell if its on the FMA soundtracks! If it is, could anyone tell me its name? Thankies

Yeah, and also consider that he's barely been around since after Ed and Ling were swallowed by Gluttony. It's what I like about FMA - every character gets his/her time to shine, and this is Roy's. Well, perhaps not shine, at least not in these particular episodes, but get the spotlight.

In the fight with Lust, the first half of the fight consisted of him testing out her regenerative powers and becoming handicapped. the second half had him making a last minute save for Al and Riza using a lighter. With this episode, we see Roy easily destroy a room ful of immortal soldiers that are giving trouble to a group of chimeras, as well as two of the most powerful alchemists alive. And then we see the most one sided ass kicking since Greed vs. Bradley. It's our first full glimpse of roy at full strength, basically, and it's one "holy shit O_o" moment after another. BTW, I'd just like to say that envy's screams of agony made Roy's attacks all the more disturbing. |

Have to say I liked this episode. They paced some of the events really nicely, and the music matched well too. The Envy reveal? Very nice. And Roy frying all those monster soldiers with swirling flames was pretty impressive. More than the manga even (and he was more thorough/ruthless too).
Quote:
As for being no different from Envy...that's painting with a gross brush. When Roy kills a kid to start a civil war, I'll agree. But enjoying the fact that the enemy who murdered your friend suffers while you're trying to blow him to bits? Not really the same. |

Against Lust, Roy was fighting to protect his friends and he dispatched her quickly in the most efficient way possible, blasting her with a constant barrage of flame attacks that finished her off in a matter of seconds. With Envy, he's only fighting to satisfy his own inner wrath, and thus he's targeting his eyeballs to deliberately inflict more pain, actually waiting for him to regenerate so he can prolong his suffering, etc. Like GaimeGuy said, he could've easily killed him right there and then in the same room he killed Lust, but he wants to drag it out to make it all the more agonizing for his prey. |
