Poor Nina... poor Alexander... it was expected from the preview >_<
I like what they did to the end credits... >_>
though it is a bit sadistic..... Ed's in tears o_o it's nice to find these little details they care to do @_@

FMA's joining my list of favourite series :9

Jub3i · 2003-11-17, 07:40

Well, it looks like a new series discussion section's gonna be needed for this series.
I mean, my gosh this episode caught me off gaurd(I don't watch episode previews). I actually thought this would be a predictable episode at the beginning... Anywayz, hats off ta FMA, I look forward to watchin the rest of the series.

bLizz4rD · 2003-11-17, 07:56

This episode is totally sick. Seriously too much for my tummy.

However, i note that this anime is really a good one, considering that it can draw such emotions out of it's viewers, not any anime can do.

FMA is going 3rd, just before GS n Naruto.

Cheers!

Why was he so sad before the transmutation? And why was he so randomly giddy after it? Makes no sense...

Also even though this is just a cartoon you people saying "he should die" should probably think more about what you're saying. Wishing death on someone isn't your place. Locked away forever... sure, but death?

I saw it comming when i heard about his wife disapearing.
I knew it from that moment that it was going to happend, But hoped it would not.

Take Care

I just finished watching Ep7....man Not much else can be said. I feel the same way everyone else does. FMA is an awesome anime. This was such a good episode...man so sad...

I was upset, but when they started with the shots of Nina and Alexander during the credits...I lost it...

The guy with the cursed arm is already quite an interesting character. The whole thing about his brother cursed him with the strange markings on his arm. And something about using his curse to kill those who used alchemy against god. Very interesting.

They did it to increase the dramatic effect. Damn them for doing that dont they have a heart, the girl just died.

McGrugg · 2003-11-17, 11:12

Seems like a lot of people knew it was going to happen. I didn't have a clue it was going to end like that.

Poor Nina and Alexander

. If only that general hadn't have kicked Ed and Al out!

They may have been able to stop it! I blame the outcome entirely on that general!

People who have been reading the manga translations already knew the outcome. These events transpire during Chapter 5 of the manga, though in the present instead of the past. It's just as sad there too, after you've seen all the amazing things Ed and Al have done, and then they can't even save Nina.

As for the general, I think he already did know what was going to happen and wanted the two of them out of the house so they wouldn't be able to stop it. After all, he was talking about one-upping Roy earlier, so it wouldn't surprise me.

BME · 2003-11-17, 12:58

Just saw it, very good. When I say all those caged in Chimeras it becamse prett yobvious who had been killing the ladies in town but to do that to his own daughter is pretty sick.

DarkSide Hero · 2003-11-17, 13:03

It's obivous that Tucker was the serial killer. the dead female bodies they found where of failed chimera experiments.

Mithel · 2003-11-17, 15:02

Just like the manga, the tone of this anime goes downhill fast.

Happy...mildly tragic...sad...DEATH! BLOOD! MURDER OF INOCENTS! ALL SHALL FALL BEFORE THE REAPER'S SCYTHE!

I think it has the potential to be just as popular as Naruto, though.

Its better then Naruto anyday

tkcom · 2003-11-17, 17:11

R.I.P. Nina & Alexander - we will miss you.
Such nice characters. Maybe we should do a tribute video about them - a clips show perhaps.

Anyway, my thought was that the chimera ran off to Hughes's house and live with his family. [sigh]

Well I think he probably likes Winly, the blonde girl from the flashbacks to when he and Al were living in their parents house. From the previews for the next ep it looks like she may be making an appearance and visiting them. And she's shown in the opening with a wrench on the bed.

So I'd guess she has a role to play.

Starfall · 2003-11-17, 17:46

First reaction: GYAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!! Releasing kyuubi chakra!!!!!
DAMN I want to kill that Tucker #"@(#!

Second reaction: Buhuuu

Nina is dead.............

Third reaction: (after watching the "next episode preview")

Maybe they can bring her back to life......

Third 1/2 reaction: No, thats impossible, Buhuuu

Nina is dead...........

Fourth reaction: (at night) -I can't sleep...........

Pebble · 2003-11-17, 17:54

Tucker being a mad scientist and transmuting his own daughter after acting so sad and kind before was so inconceivable for me that I only realized it at the last moment. And then, Tucker's reasons were so weak : "mankind has evolved through countless numbers of experiments on humans" or "I just experimented because the possibility was there". How pitiful.

Apart from that, there are some points I can't understand well :
- How could Tucker be the serial killer ? Dead bodies would have been useless to transmute the chimera. And even if the women were killed by the transmutation, why would Tucker have dragged the corpses in some alley ? And why would he use women only ?
- About the guy with the brand on his arm. In the end, he said he understood its purpose : "It is to use the same devilish techniques that the alchemists who disobey God use… to destroy them". Then why did it kill Nina/Alexander, who was a only a victim ?

Oh and by the way, I really loved the scene with Ed writing a letter to Winly ^^

hunterx · 2003-11-17, 17:59

interesting, if you had the choice would you let the chimera live or die? I think they did the right thing and killed it rather than let it live

I can help you with that one - because he didn't think it right that Nina and Alexander should have to continue living in that horrible shape when there was nothing anyone could do to reverse it. He also prayed for their souls.

We also know from the way he's been acting that his idea of justice is a bit wild...and now he's after Shou

Tensai_kamen · 2003-11-17, 19:28

Damn this episode. It is so sad that it makes me afraid to watch it all over again. Even the sadness in Saikano cannot compare to this....
