I don't think Izumi = win. She's your typical and generic "brutal master who abuses her apprentices but actually cares a lot about them" and her housewife gimmick got old pretty quickly. Not to mention it's hard to care about her when she completely dropped off the face of the plot after her little arc. Since she gets such a big role as one of the human sacrifices later on, I think Arakawa should've spent some more time on her to make her a little more interesting.
But hey that's just me. I still enjoy what she does in this episode, though I haven't seen it yet. I'm more stocked for you-know-who's return though. |

Izumi made them do exactly what she did, but gave them more help considering the age difference.
Besides so far she kicks far more asses than anyone. Her entrance simply put Armstrongs to shame. So yeh, Izumi is a win Now I can't wait for great Bradley fight as well as Greed VS Bradley re-match Oh! And I loved how Hoenheim had opened the door in that wall which was supposed to smash him Man... so many great things are happening and now I can't choose on which character I want signature and avatar more -_- Oh! And I just had to do this! Spoiler for avatar:
P.S. Lack of screen time somehow adds more interest to her. Since she is basicly the only one of whom we don't know much. Atleast that's how it works for me.

Whenever Izumi is one screen it's instant win for me, though this episode belonged to Alex and Sig, as their scene was plenty epic. There's also Bradley's return which gave me shivers, especially the build up to it. Next weeks episode looks like it'll be off the chart in terms of animation, so can't wait for that.

Makes sense. Also, it could be that because he's so slow (mentally, not physically, obviously) he doesn't realize when stuff is hurting until it's too late...... he doesn't even realize he's died until 5 minutes after he revives

MY MUSCLES GREW A THOUSAND FOLD WATCHING THIS EPISODE. As amazing as Izumi and Bradley were in this episode, the Alex/Sig meeting totally stole the show and was as awesome and hilarious as I thought it would be. This is the start of the manliest bromance in history.

If there is one word that can define this episode its GAR. First we have Hohennheim's casual, but totally awesome display of alchemy. Then we have more Alex awesomeness, but thats then put to shame by an ever greater garness that is Sig. Then that was put to shame by the ultimate garness of those two combined. Then we end with the cherry on top, that is King Bradley's return.

As to her "housewife" gimmick. While I don't completely understand where she's coming from with that, it seems to me its her way of presenting herself humbly because of past mistakes as well as a designation of what she truly desires. In many respects that "gimmick" is the defining of her character, that you say that she lacks. Just my thoughts on her

Awesome episode. Izumi definitely took the cake this time. I hope we get to see some more fighting from her at some point. But when Bradley was walking towards the wall, I would snipe him right in the head. That sure would deter his subordinates.
Anyway, next episode should be good.
