[Anime] Episode 35 : The Meeting of the Fallen

[Joe Dalton]

just because its not in the manga doesnt mean its filler... the anime hardly has time for fillers anyway.

I was talking about before he got the p-philosipher's stone. He still almost accomplished it. he just went overboard I'm guessing.

Well, I'd call that Psiren episode a definite filler... also even in the manga there are plenty of filler stuff...

I thought that was a boy? Anyway I always think that when one performs human transmutation without souls invovled, it's not gonna require the alchemist's body parts. Tucker successfully merging human and animal (which could be as hard as, if not harder than, to cure the pretrification disease), and that crystal alchemist successfully turned humans into pseudo philosopher's stone, which I suppose also involved complicated decomposition and reconstruction of human body matters. Besides he is an alchemist chosen by the Sins, so he should be quite talented to begin with.

can a manga even have a filler?

why not? I've seen plenty of manga with filler stuff or even entire filler chapters... say some side-quests in Inuyasha...

Okay, last time I'll post on this topic, I swear...

So what prevents them from bringing back body parts? Why couldn't they cure the red water disease with alchemy? I'm really not trying to be a ----head. I just believe that this episode had some serious implications aside from

Spoiler:

Wrath killing random people.

[dreamless]

well, maybe because they don't understand it. they don't understand how the red water disease affect people, so they can't cure it with alchemy. about the body parts, I guess someone said that the Elric brothers want their original body parts, and I guess they don't really understand what happened to their body parts, so can't bring them back? and now Ed finds out where his arm and leg go...

and

Spoiler:

wrath is that kid. do you mean Envy or Lust?

And I don't really understand what "implications" you are trying to imply here... I think that guy is supposed to be a talented alchemist, maybe on Tucker or Ed level.

To DNE.

It would be better for you to modify your post. Read the rules!


On Topic:
Although a filler, this episode caught my eye for its sad and depressive plot.

Spoiler:

When Ed, Al, & Winry reach the town and saw the gruesome scenery; dead bodies all over the place, it distraught me.

OMG THIS EPISODE ISNT AS GOOD AS THE REST(means it sucks) its ok if you dont watch it

[Technovia_EX]

This was a boring episode IMO. How many times does it have to be repeated that Gluttony like to eat people and that he's hungry? He's my least favorite Sin because of that =D. Other than that, nothing much is learned from Lust.

[xxjc1104xx]

eh, this episode was ok, i thought lust showed a sensitive, kind side to her lol. anyways, i was curious about marco san, did he die? i don't remember seeing him die but was it implied?

[Seta]

That was a great episode. It was a total filler but I thought it was alot better than most of the plot-heavy episodes. I loved how the bulk of the episode built up for the heartwrenching ending.

Spoiler:

The entire village screaming in pain the moment after Lewjon died hit me like a brick wall.

I think it's alot easier to appreciate the episode if you're not looking for significant developments in the plot and just took it as a standalone episode. And does anyone know the name of the song that plays in the last scene and whether it's in an OST? The one with the haunting vocals.

[Kiro]

for me that episode was almost on par with the uber-cruel episode, where nina ends up as bloodstain on a wall. i'm still a little shaken up from seeing episode 35. yeah, no real story development but definatly worth watching, unless you just had lunch.

[BetoJR]

Well, first time poster here, but I've been reading the forum for quite some time. To be honest, I didn't really feel this was a very good episode, but it was, at least, interesting. Lust seems like she has a deeper character now, and that's always a good thing for a villain in any given series.
But I sure as hell hope the pace picks up again on the next couple of episodes.

[Knuckles]

I have one question about the end of episode 35

Spoiler for end of episode 35:

Now why did Lust kill Rujon, (a) was it because he was about to die form
the disease and she did not want him to suffer?
(b) Or was it that she wanted him to die before the other villagers so
he would not find out that the stone she gave him did not work? (c) something else?
(Lust says somthing about Rujon being here little mistake, after she kills him)

On anothe note, I thought the episode was quite good for what it was, a filler
it does not seem to progress the story one bit but intersting inside info on Lust
nevertheless.

I think

Spoiler:

she killed Rujon because she actually developed feelings towards him. Rujon was her "dirty spot" as she puts it. So before the little "dirty spot" could get larger, she erased it.

[hunterx]

I thought the episode was average, the most important thing was that lust seems to have memories of her past before someone tried to perform human transmution on her dead body. She seems to have memories of her original self for some reason.

My theory on why lust killed him was that he was useless. THe whole point of giving him a stone 2 years ago was that he would seek the real philosopher stone after the fake one lost its power. But he just ended up back with her and she killed him and everyone in the village.

My only question about the episode was why the girl died so suddenly when she found out what happened. she didn't seem to be that sick before.. was it lust that killed her?

[dreamless]

I think the timing of that girl's death is just a story loophole intentionally created for dramatic effects. remember the petrification disease was not really cured but just temporarily stopped by the fake philosopher's stone, the girl had the disease before, then "cured" by the fake philosopher's stone, so the effects bound to wear off and she's going to die for sure. However it seems for the whole village, the power of Rujon's alchemy disappeared the instant Rujon died, so all the villagers just got cured by Rujon again died. So it's absurd that the girl can last that long to die just when she find Rujon's body... I guess it's for some extremely dramatic effects... one of BONES' specialties.

Also if I read the talks between Lust and Envy correctly, the original plan was that they gave Rujon the first philosopher's stone, but never give him the second one, so after the villagers die, he'll start looking for the real stone. But I think Lust developed some feelings towards him because of his semblance to Scar's brother, that she actually give him a second fake philosopher's stone. She told Rujon that he should not ask for "too much", I guess she implied that she already gave him "too much". But obviously Rujon still want more, as he said he won't let Lust go, and that "asking too much" make Lust finally decide to kill him.

[Xirix]

The fake stone broke when she killed him, so the cure wore off quickly.
