Even though episode was mainly recap I still loved it. This episode shows how awesome Brotherhood is. All this epic moments, awesome animation and superb soundtracks just shows how amazing this series is.
New OP is great. Also liked new ED. Girls never can be bad. And Winry sure matured since first episode. She really looks pretty. |

It's not a bad recap episode, though i don't even see why we need a recap episode.
The new OP is pretty damn brilliant, especially for those awesome Kimbley and the Briggs' Fortress characters scenes.

I would have thought though that they'd save the new OP/ED for a non-recap episode, especially given all the spoilers. |

As for the OP, it's pretty slick. Though it's probably got more Ishval stuff than it needs. Not that I'm complaining about all the Kimblee-ness. |

Well it looks like I was unfortunately right about it being part recap. What were they thinking putting the recap here when they are almost done with the damn arc.
They did a great job animating the OP and while I dislike the song, it fits pretty well. Last edited by Jarmel; 2009-10-11 at 06:43. |

I haven't watched the episode but it gets a 1 for wasting time on a recap episode when they could have used this episode not to rush through at least one plot line in the earlier episodes. What a waste!
Can someone tell me if any new scenes were from the manga because if not I am skipping this. On another note I do like the opening and ending at least (but there is a pretty big spoiler in the opening). Last edited by Kirarakim; 2009-10-11 at 07:31. |

Oh, I should’ve known better than to have faith in Bones so soon...>_>
So instead of a filler ep we get a recap ep, which is in no way better (or maybe worse) than a filler one. Haven’t seen the subs yet, but I doubt this ep would add much to the story or character development at all. Actually, I don’t really mind a recap but why, why should there be even one in the first place? Save this space for the Ishbalan wars, or some better stuff in the manga, dammit! Well, at least the music is very good. Btw, I loved the new OP, both sounds and visuals. The ED sequence is not bad, but too much Winry-focused, even though I like her, I would prefer an all girl ED. @Kirarakim I wouldn't be surprised if more ppl give this ep a 1, although I'll wait for subs. The only new scenes in this ep are anime-original, the rest are recaps, which take up most of the ep.

First time on this show post
Im a huge fiend of the manga and a BONES freak. The director is doing a great job and the new animators have equalled the previous series in visual quality. Rather odd place to put a recap, kinda messes up the flow. Great to hear Unshou Ishizuka as Hoenheim, great fit. I didn't like Sukima Switch's OP at first but it really grew on me, it's probably my favorite so far. Plus a lotta cool new characters in the OP, yay! The ED is good. It's only gonna get more crazy from here on out! |

I think we're missing the point here. This was not really a recap episode. Instead it highlighted previous scenes we've seen in order to drive home a point (rather heavy handedly) that even though humans lose a lot, we manage to get back up afterward.
This was important character development for Hoenhiem, but also for us because: Spoiler for Major, Major spoilers for next episode:
I remember getting depressed at this point when reading the manga. I guess this was a preemptive inoculation to remind us that it's "always darkest before the dawn". Personally I think it's out of place and should be done after the next episode, and that's probably how I'll watch it when I get the DVDs. But I understand the reasoning, so I gave it a 7. PS: Opening isn't that big of a spoiler because of lack of context. Only "spoiler" I see becomes more of a Red Herring considering present non-manga readers knowledge On the other hand I think the Ending would have even more of an impact if they had saved it for next episode or the following one (depending on how they break the story apart). |

To everyone saying the new OP + ED would be better next week: Maybe Bones didn't have a choice? The OP single comes out on October 14th and I imagine it wouldn't sell as well as Augusta(?) wants if it dropped before the anime did.

i did not enjoy this episode at all. i gave it a 2 just because i loved the new opening.
showing Ling with the Homunculi will have a lot of anime-only fans confused at first (for those that noticed him there). the fact that a large part of the opening was showing the Ishbal flashback made me think that they'd put a lot of time into that part, possibly even a small episode arc, but NOOO we get one episode when this recap could have been used for at least a two parter. i'm angry because aside from the Roy vs Lust fight, the Ishbal flashback is my favorite part of the manga so far. yay for Olivier finally making her anime debut though (even though it's just in the opening for now), she's one of my fav characters so i've been waiting for her to show up |
