This episode holds some key pieces of the story.

Spoiler:

This episode is just flat-out awesome, and the preview for episode 40 looks good too.

Spyderz · 2004-07-12, 04:02

by now the storyline has clearly deviated a lot from the manga

Spoiler:

Excuse me. I am yet to eat my soup, and for that I need a spoon. Or a spork, but a spoon makes the process much easier. Ahh, the wonders of kitchen utensils.

I *am* really excited about it, though

Yes, soup is spectacular! Tomato soup (my personal favorite), beet soup (it's a European thing, and I was born in Europe

)... but you know, soup that goes along with the river's flow is pretty awesome, too.

Already edited my post. Thank you.

So the Elrics head their way back where the series started, Lior.

Do Scar has lost it, his sanity? I mean he's picked up Lior as sacrifice for transmutation to produce the Philosopher's Stone.

Finally, Pride will be hinted in this episode. It was about time.

LuckyCat · 2004-07-15, 12:51

It's not really clear what Scar's thinking this episode. He actually doesn't say anything.

Spoiler:

Fei-san · 2004-07-16, 04:47

Speaking of spoon's, I couldn't seem to find on last week, didn't have any soup last week.

This episode was great, it may have deviated a lot from the manga but the anime is still amazing. That fight with scar and kimlee definitly looks like a flashback. At the end of 39 whan scar see's Ed, he obviously isn't trying to hide him self and Ed to see him, I wonder why. He has to have figured out why Ed would be there.

thiby · 2004-07-18, 11:44

its a good episode especially when ed transmutated al into a spoon

Thanks, that's what I was thinking too but wasn't sure. Hopefully I'll get to see the next episode soon...

Guido · 2004-07-18, 15:39

Already finished watching episode 39.

The oddities
1. Under his disguise, Ed looks exactly like a brown-haired with golden eyes "Wrath".

2. The translation arose a little doubt. When Gluttony referred to Pride, the translation meant that Pride is a "she" (a female). Since Pride has not yet made appearance in the anime, how could the translators be sure that Pride is a female and not a male?

Since I do not know much about spoken Japanese, I can't tell if Gluttony meant to Pride by a female or male pronoun.

The comedy
1. At the diner, Al lifted his head and was about to toss a bread inside his body (where Martel was hiding). 1st Lieutenant, Hawkeye, cuts him in that it's not necessary for him to pretend, and just when Martel was about to take the bread, Al quickly withdraws it.
Martel enfuriated and cursed Hawkeye to kill her. That was priceless!!!

2. When Martel and the brothers arrived at the Ishvarite ruins. She remarked that since she's chimera her real age is enough to be their older sister, and Ed cuts in to say "Obaa-s....", and Martel instantly threw a bull's eye boot right into Ed's face.

Now the point

Spoiler:

moofs · 2004-07-18, 20:23

Gluttony: Pride ga itte da yo, ishibaru no...(Pride was saying, that the Ishbal..)
Lust: Ishibaru no shinjutsu wo shitta mono ga korosu.(Kill all of those who know of Ishbal's Secret"

That's what they basically said, so they didn't really refer to pride other than Gluttony calling its name. Whether or not its a female or male we don't know but the translator has probably seen the manga to know who it is, however, since the anime already deteriated (sp? =/) from the manga, you never know. They might change it to a guy, heh.

1 more week till double episode release with new OP/ED...woohoo

Rattus · 2004-07-18, 23:25

Post ep-40...

Spoiler:

What was Tucker doing to the alchemists' clocks? They're already meant to be transmutation amplifiers, so is he increasing/renewing/sabotaging their power? And everything we've seen in FMA so far seems to indicate that transmutation amplifiers work via human souls... does this mean the clocks have a couple of lives each sacrificed onto them? (only a couple, since the uber-amplifying proto-PSs need LOTS of lives by all accounts.)

LuckyCat Wise Kitty Cat Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: San Diego, CA	[Anime] Episode 39: Eastern Civil War This episode holds some key pieces of the story. Spoiler: Ed and Al learn from Martel the truth behind the conflict in Ishbal. They return to the army and learn that the first city they visited in the anime, Lior, has broken into civil war. Not only that, but Scar has made the city itself into a large transmutation circle. Edward recognizes this as an effort to create the Philosopher's Stone and goes into the city undercover to stop Scar. Lust and Gluttony discuss the coming of the final Homunculus, Pride. Edit: Also, it's pretty clear the army are trying not to let Ed and Al learn about the death of Hughes. Hawkeye says it would only interfere with their work. This episode is just flat-out awesome, and the preview for episode 40 looks good too. Last edited by LuckyCat; 2004-07-11 at 20:28.

Spoiler: In the preview for 40, it shows both Ed and Kimberley fighting Scar. I'm guessing Scar's motives will be more thorougly revealed then. Episode 40 is titled 'Scars'.

Tae Oh reeeeally? Join Date: May 2004	Spoiler for those who don't need a spoon to quench their thirst: what did Lust & Gluttony say before Ed found a familiar face? My spoon says "Pride was saying, that the Ishbal..." and "She said to kill anyone who finds out the secret of Ishbal."

Now the point Spoiler: Archer made a warning to Ed. Going to Lior for sightseeing, but in return he has to leave Al behind. Archer remarked to Ed that he's not going to run away, if Al is left in the custody of the military. How he meant and glared to Ed, sounded much as a warning threat to me. Then he has to leave his silver watch because it's going to be modified for use as an alchemy amplifier. Archer handed it to Tucker, and he became delighted to figure out who the owner of the silver watch was. There were no Homunculi show ups until the end, when Lust and Gluttony appeared on Lior. Where's Envy, now? The handshake that Major Armstrong gave to Ed was indeed a message to him, that he shouldn't have gotten involved in this war, and now's made the Major getting worried for both kids.
