Finally. That was a painful break.

Krazzy Angel · 2009-08-30, 02:52

I'm too impatient to see episode 21. I hope there will not be major disappointements...

konart · 2009-08-30, 03:30

They are not skipping Ran Fan's part ^^

Really loved last 10 seconds of the episode

dsOnTheRun · 2009-08-30, 03:39

uhmm i wan to ask a stupid question, what is the reason of stop releasing for 1 week?
to keep a distance from MANGA plot?

i wanna ask something out of topic :

what's the new anime for October Sunday ( October 4th or 11st ), but I know that darker than black 2 will be released at October .......

Charred Knight · 2009-08-30, 03:42

It skipped last week because of the High School Athletic competition.

Shiroth · 2009-08-30, 05:06

What can i say after watching this episode? Oh i know, more Marcoh.

Glad they kept in Ed fixing things which turned out to be lots of fun, along with that wow last scene.

The 12th IAAF World Championships in Athletics is not quite a high school competition

On topic, I enjoyed the episode and loved the way it ended (Screenshots here). Hopefully the battle next week can be as good as the Lust one.

I thought this work was too major to my taste and I usually feel uneasy with escapist fantasy works. However, despite of being categorized as fantasy, it's far from escapist one and it gives me courage to tackle with problems in front of myself.

Haladflire65 · 2009-08-30, 13:43

Decent episode. I liked the comedy scenes with Ed fixing things, and the Ed Scar fight's looking good. Something was missing with Havoc and Roy's scene, though. It didn't feel quite as powerful as in the manga. And what does BONES think they're doing with the Ishbal flashbacks?!? Why did I see Kimbley in the next episode? Is he supposed to be there?

ThoHell · 2009-08-30, 15:47

Uh, that ninja girl should of died and had her head chopped off instead of the being cut. Look at the person who is doing the attacking, it's only obvious she should of died there and instantly but yet she didn't....

Well she is an expierienced fighter in comparison to all others, so she could somehow block it.

Madvil · 2009-08-30, 20:06

Oh noes!

Cliffhanger

But I loved the episode, there were parts that the whole block where I live heard me laughing, like inside Roy's limo

*sigh* So they skipped it eh? Poor guy never gets any love from the Brotherhood team.

Sinestra · 2009-08-30, 20:26

Episode was good and i can tell some good stuff is coming our way. I will have to wait for a better sub group though. A certain group did a horrible job i mean really bad mistakes so it was tough to make out some of the dialog. Another cliff hanger though the next week is going to be tough.

orangejuicetang · 2009-08-30, 21:49

Wow, it really does seem like they want to compress all the Ling stuff, don't they?

Vicious108 · 2009-08-30, 22:18

Pretty good episode, but not without its faults.

Needed more Marcoh. Without him we got less Envy once again, which is never a good thing.

Hospital scene was good, but definitely not as intense as in the manga. Probably cause it lacked a BGM, for whatever reason.

Also, no Al comparison that both Ed and Roy are similar in that they both claim their goals are top priority, but completely forget about themselves when protecting those around them. That was a nice line, and it was missed.

Now for the good parts, Ed fixing stuff was as hilarious as in the manga. Perhaps even more, because Romi Paku did an awesome job there.

And yay for another great cliffhanger. Let's hope they keep it up and do more of Arakawa's chapter endings justice.

Kimblee in the preview is pretty cool too.

I beg to differ. The less I have to hear Conan being an incarnation of evil, the better.

Next episode should be awesome. My favorite moment of the entire manga (Brothers Elric vs Scar, take 2) plus some Ling action.

But Minami Takayama was already playing incarnations of evil back when Conan was at the beggining of its run... Ah well.

But I never saw Escaflowne. Not sure what else she was evil in before Conan started, but that voice is distinctly Conan for me.
