Over all a very nice episode, but kind of miss the vintage armor joke.

K_Babyy · 2010-02-14, 15:41

Man, that wasn't in there? I'm still looking for a place to watch it.

ChronoReverse · 2010-02-14, 21:27

Yeah, I wanted the vintage armour joke but I guess they decided to make it serious instead.

DragoZERO · 2010-02-14, 22:47

Great episode, again. I am glad that Al learned the truth. I wish his father would have told him why he left them when Ed & Al were so young.

I don't like Rose's voice though. It's not...high pitched and cute enough?? I don't know.

takachsh · 2010-02-14, 22:53

I loved the part where Ed is being held hostage by the two chimera to try and escape, I just loved the expression on his face lol.

Oh my! Next episode looks like its going to be an intense fight!

-Suigetsu- · 2010-02-14, 23:56

44 is already out?

Didn't 43 just come out this week?

What day do the Brotherhood episodes come out on?

Ziziphus · 2010-02-15, 00:52

Brotherhood always comes out on Sundays in Japan. It takes a few days for it to be subbed and out in other places though.

Great episode this week! Ed's return was a lot of fun, just like in the manga! I loved how they took some panels straight from the manga.

The ending was very intense, I loved it! I never liked Greedling that much before, but he's one of my favorites now. Looking forward to his fight with Bradley next week!

One thing I don't like about this episode though, is how they made Winry look so much older than she's supposed to. (Heck, she looks older than Ed and she looks so much like Riza with her hair down! <_<) It maybe just me though...

germanturkey · 2010-02-15, 00:56

very little in ways of forward motion this episode... but i guess it did a good job at setting up what comes next. needs more edxwinry development.

K_Babyy · 2010-02-15, 01:04

Another nice adaption of the manga. I was laughing almost the entire time when Ed and the chimeras were trying to escape from the military and of course I loved the Ed-mobile hahaa.

striderm · 2010-02-15, 02:05

Loved that new song they played in the episode preview.

-Suigetsu- · 2010-02-15, 02:25

If it isn't subbed, how are you guys watching it yet?

Or do you all speak fluent Japanese?

Ziziphus · 2010-02-15, 02:44

We don't need it to be subbed to understand it, most of us have read the manga, I believe.^^

And there're some who can understand Japanese too, I think.

chickdigger802 · 2010-02-15, 03:03

Hmmm just caught up with this show after taking a break (was like 10 eps behind). Is it just me or has the animation improved noticeably? Did the A team come back to this show after they finished up Darker than Black?

Forever · 2010-02-15, 03:06

lol we have some rare fanservice this ep.

It sure feels new when it only gets played one time (during episode 23). lol.

Regnes · 2010-02-15, 03:54

And of course this episode displays what everybody was waiting for, Winry in the bath, I guess the series is over now.

Shiroth · 2010-02-15, 05:45

Ed's introduction scene was pretty good, though it could have done with some badarse new music instead of the same old piece being used again. At least glad they kept in Ed's badarse car design.

But yeah it was a really good episode. The whole Greed stuff at the end was nicely handled, along with the cliffhanger scene after the ED, and the Winry fanservice was very, very nice.

quigonkenny · 2010-02-15, 07:53

Holy crap, they're up to chapter 82 already? They really are trying to time this close to the end of the manga, aren't they? This is like right on the cusp of the last arc.

Vicious108 · 2010-02-15, 08:38

Pretty good episode once again, but I must say I hate Brotherhood's portrayal of Hohenheim. They remove every single one of his jokes, amusing lines and scenes and make him a 100% serious character all the time. It's lame.

Other than that it was a nice adaptation and Greed's breakdown scene at the end was very awesome and intense. And was that new music playing during it? I didn't recognize that piece.

Looking forward to the fight next week, which from the preview seems to be very well animated.
