Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood - Episode 62 Discussion/Poll

[CuXe]

This episode filled me with emotions I cannot describe in one word! Rage, sadness, happiness, anxiety.. all in one go! ... I gotta do some human alchemy to release all these emotions now lol

Anyhow, I haven't read the manga so I'll speculate as to what could happen:

- Alphonse will come back as I don't see him being trapped in that limbo for eternity, the only question is who will be sacrificed to bring him back? In a perfect world I would imagine that Ed would find a way to transmute "Father's body" in exchange for Al's soul. If that is not the case then I am affraid it will be Hoenheim the one to sacrifice himself in exchange for his son, Al. *Tears*

- Hawkeye + Mustang do a sweet combo, they always have actually

- Ed got his arm back. Poor Winry is down 1 client; she could make up for it by hooking up with Ed .. I mean there has been so much teasing between these 2, I hope they do a scene where Winry ends up with Ed. A kiss would be nice , but since this is not Inuyasha that might be a no-go

- The last scene where Greed realizes what he truly wants is companions like the guys fighting in front of him is very touching. Greed is such a sentimental monster, I really like that aspect of his character besides being tough.

This is an episode worth watching at least 5 times!

Ed's still got the automail leg.

yeah, I fully agree. Greed's part cannot be underestimated!

Wow - just wow. I'm running out of adjectives for the sheer GAR-ness of this thing. Blogged for space saving, as I had to ramble to do it justice...

It would be hard to think of a series that has raised itself more in my estimation since the first episode than this one has. It isn't until the last arc begins that you can truly see the level of sophistication Arakawa has as a writer - for every shounen cliche, there are layers of intricacy that leave me in awe. The ability to weave so much together so flawlessly is something close to genius.

[Lumine]

My guess: Ed will try what he did in the first FMA anime,but this time all his friends will travel with him to the Door of truth and offer part of their life for Al...

Or maybe Hohenheim will do it.

Or maybe Greed will sacrifice himself for his new friends/companions.

Or maybe Ed will sacrifice Father for Al, and he will stay in Al's place waiting forever.

Or maybe Ed will sacrifice this world's alchemy for Al (They still have Rentajutsu after all).

Damn, so many posibilities.

[kitten320]

^I really doubt that whole world will so easily forgive him for giving up their alchemy for someone they don't know... That would be way too selfish for Ed to do.

CuXe

Ed still has leg, so Winry still has some work to do

[CuXe]

^ ohh yes the leg, how could I forget about the leg .... details, details! :P

[kitten320]

You forgot about it probably because it never broke
At least can't remember such moment... they didn't even regulate it to match his high this time around.

[superzombie23]

It was a great episode but the music ruined it for me. There was way too much overused music which failed accentuate the epicness it already had. It only made it less epic for me... They should have put NO music in a lot of the scenes. It's like they have to play the sad song during a "sad" scene. Come on...

[zebra]

^I liked they used the main theme again after such a long time. Can't say much about the other music, was too focused on the visuals xD

Main sentiment:
ALPHOOOOOOOOOOONSE!! T__T

I have to admit, I teared up a little. Even so I knew what was coming. I felt the pain again ... D:


Superb adaptation. Only thing I can nag about is that they screwed a panel again I looked forward to. Specially, because it mirrored the end of the very first chapter:

Spoiler for manga comparison:

No, idea why they made him do a fist instead and didn't give it the proper focus.

He is what you might call "The world." Or perhaps "the universe." Or perhaps "God." Or perhaps "Truth." Or perhaps "Everything." Or perhaps "One."

And...

He is You.

[coolasj19]

Who is the Narrator ?
Our Father?
Maybe it could be pointless. But I would like to know if its not spoilerific.

I think that is exactly what it is supposed to be or at least a similar idea.

[Shinigami00]

Brilliant! I enjoyed Ed's berserk attack! I think that Hohenheim will probably sacrifice himself to bring Al back. However, Als expecting Ed to do it, so maybe Ed will sacrifice father. THe other option of Ed sacrificing Alchemy - is that even possible?

Loved the action scenes! And yes, it will soon be over, but it has been an enjoyable ride!

cant wait!!!!!!!!!

Father and the narrator have the same V.A.

In an era of Alchemy, Pantheism doesn't fall all that far from the tree uh?

You hit the nail on the head. It IS pantheism. That's exactly what the laws of the FMA universe are governed by, and alchemy can be considered the process of tapping into that universal flow.

[Shinigami00]

All is one; one is all.

Well, that would be cool to me for this part to anime but dissapointing that some sort of parts are finally didn't happen until left uncleared wondering what happened.

[BetoJR]

I can't be the only one wondering what did you just mean by that, can I?
