That was pretty epic. The new OP and ED were awesome - maybe that's why I liked the episode so much. I loved the Scar scenes... Although overall, the episode wasn't too exciting or anything.

Good episode. Steady pace and the new OP and ED were great. I liked the EdWin moments.
The only thing I can complain about is that they messed up with Kimblee's hat in the beginning...one moment it was gone, a few seconds later he had it on his head again, and then it was gone again lol. =p Little mistake aside, it was an enjoyable episode. 9/10

But yeah, it was still a pretty good OP. The first half with Ed and Al doing nothing was kinda meh, but the second one, when the fights started, was pure awesome, with amazing animation. Pride looked pretty badass there. And the ED felt more like an OP than an ED. And it was also quite good. Now I just need to see the episode itself, lol. |

Guys the 63 episodes has not been confirmed. There is no set episode count but it will definitely be more than 52 episodes.
Anyways my favorite part about the opening was when Ed & Al started out alone and then suddenly they are surrounded by more and more allies. This so perfectly represents what Fullmetal Alchemist is about. And in fact it shows the one thing that makes the series stand out from other shounen. In most shounen the main character has to eventually depend on himself to beat the final villain. In FMA Ed & Al's growth is recognizing that they can't only rely on each other that there are so many people out there that can & want to help. This is another thing that separates FMA from the 1st series where it was all about Ed & Al. |

I'm curious about what non-manga readers think of the following things in brotherhood: #1: What do you think of Scar? #2: What do you think of Winry? #3: What do you think of the final scene of ep 39, with Father? |

Fianlly watched it, and other than the incredibly sloppy animation, it was pretty good.
Best part was Scar remembering his master and brother's words. In fact, the man himself should've had an eyecatch, since this was a very important episode for him and one that will help shape his character. Al convincing the chimeras not to give up was also nice, even if I've always thought that part was a little too convenient and forced even in the manga. Also, lol @ BONES making up stuff about Jerso and Zampano's families. |

No actually it has not. If you would like to show me where it was confirmed with an official source go right ahead. The information from an Aniplex rep that it was 63 episodes is not official. Even Funimation said the rep was mistaken. At the very most the 63 episodes might be a reasonable guess.

I thought it was quite a talky ep, but it did have lots of juicy Scar+Winry development. Maybe putting the new OP/ED was to sweeten up this episode a little and prevent the viewers from getting turned off too much, since the viewers won't be able to move along with the cast if they can't remember what's going on. Well at least that's what it seems to me.
Also agree on the two chimera's (I can't remember their names, not a good sign) switching sides a little too convenient and taking up screentime, though that's the fault of the source material apparently? |

The Chimeas (Jelso and Zampano) were never villains to begin with. They were human beings turned into Chimeras and feeling they couldn't go back to their families they stayed in the army and were following orders. I don't think it is so hard to think they would switch sides when they find out what the high command at the army is really after. And even before they joined the right side they were trying not to needlessly fight Ed & Al by saying we are your allies.
I did always think Al's speech to them was a little corny but it is a very Al thing to say. |

In the previous ending we saw how much Winry grew and in this new one I can't helping looking at the grown up Ed. Is it just me or he really looks more like and adult(in the manga I already noticed that but it's the first time that I'm seeing Ed growing in the anime.)?
Also I love the EdWin scene and Winry's resolution.
