Pleased to say how mature Winry looks in the first half of this episode. I couldn't focus on this episode after that, because personally she looks a lot more stunning grown up, and was all that was on my mind.

I knew that would be the first thing talked about in this thread
The 2 chan thread went crazy, that screen was posted like a dozen times

That was a great episode. The first have made me notice how much Ed and Winry (but mostly Ed) has grown up; he looks so much older and more mature now! The second half was delicious... Bradley's train being blown up made me grin, and I was squealing with joy when Riza and co. showed up, the way they used the ending theme this week was awesome. But the epilogue felt kind of out of place, but it wasn't too bad, either...

The downside - the tsunami warning pasted over the entire episode... *sighs*

[Arabesque]

Winry was simply gorgeous during this episode. Both her and ed look really grown up (they almost look the movie designs a bit now) but she simply stole the show with her beauty. Why couldn't we have more Winry centric episodes like this!?

Hm? Oh yeah, there were other things that happened, right? Like Al being captured by Pride and stuff. But it wasn't that important. Can't remember anyway. And I'm cutting one point off because I'll never understand why Father decided to resurrect Gluttony instead of focusing on getting Lust back.

Pretty sure it's because Gluttony was only close to death, whereas Lust is dead. He didn't so much resurrect him as he did resuscitate him.

So glad this episode pretty much exceeded my expectations! Ch 84 is one of my favorites and BONES pulled it of beautifully. They did make Ed just a little too buff though lol.

But yea, that tsunami warning was soo annoying! Can't wait to watch it again without it.

I am a bit worry the rate it is going through. At the speed we are going, we are going to overtake the manga chapter is roughly 2 months or less.

[Ziziphus]

I'm loving this episode so much just for all the EdxWin goodness! Loved how they look so grown up now. <3 I also feel more and more in love with Greedling and all his talk about greed.

And yay for new music in the preview! I hope more is coming for this last arc.

Not too soon, imo. The anime will be going at a much slower pace from now on. Next three episodes (48, 49, 50) will have just one chapter per ep pacing, according to the titles.

That's good news, I was also worried about the pace. One chapter per ep should be all right, of course, it all depends on when exactly Arakawa intends to end the manga. It's obviously soon but just how soon?

Somehow I'm not surprised

I still think the plan will be to end the manga and the adaptation in the same month. Would be so awesome.

That would be awesome. It would make sense that the anime staff talked with Arakawa about when would be the best time to start Brotherhood so that they could finish around the same time.

Its funny, anime only watchers are getting the story in just over a year and we've been following along for years now lol.

What the hell, is this some kind of joke or what the f is up with this ? I downloaded the Eclipse's release and there's some weird map at the right side of the video for the whole duration of the episode that keeps flashing with weird colours .. How the hell could they release crap like this, and in the first place.. Why is that map there ? >.<

[psycho bolt]

It's a tsunami warning because of the earthquake in Chile... It's not crap but it was annoying >.<

BTW, is the only thing people care about in this ep Winry's, um, grown-up ness?

[HayashiTakara]

Under BOOBAGE FTW!!!

Is it just me or did Ed become really manly and taller? lol

[DragoZERO]

I am super disappointed here.

Half-assed reunion with Ed & Winry. I was expecting more. I mean...nothing about the earrings or anything of the sort. The under-boob was to make up for the lack luster reunion.

Things seemd to move a little too fast. It skipped around a lot.

And, is the time skip faithful to the manga? Or did they skip a little extra here? Just curious.

He was quite buff. It came out of no where.

It was ridiculous. Why does it have to flash!?

Because last time there was a potential tsunami that did no damage to Hawaii (like this time) it killed a lot of people in Japan who figured it would be the same there. Luckily nothing happened there this time.

Sorry that real life got (partially) in the way of your illegal viewing of anime. Luckily they have set up a forum to complain about this "travesty". Link here.
