Pretty good episode
Followed the manga mostly .
removed two or three things I wished they would have added , but oh well.
Either way , this was mostly a " how and why " episode.
Showed why and how the brother came to be how they are.
with Ed seeing the Truth .
then Roy meeting the brothers
Ed vowing to take 1 year to recover and him consequently being able to transmute without Circles thanks to him having seen "IT" ( and Al not remembering).
And finally Ed's Exam to become a state alchemist , where he promtly attacked Bradly who told him he still doesn't know the world xD.
Thus showing how the fuhrur gave Ed an "ironic" name : the FullMetal Alchemist.

Next week , they goin' to Liore/Reole ~

oh , and the score was pretty darn awesome. Akira Senju delivers !!

going 2 kiss roy on the mouth, i fr thought he killed maria and i couldn't for the life of me figure why it had to end like this. like barry could easily testify that maria shot him in the hand. and then we got the whole story and i was really glad!!! i already spoiled that she lived, but i was really surprised to see her come back this fast and not like 20 episodes down the road.

though i mean the whole country (?) thinks maria is a murderer, so her hiding out in xing and essentially being forced to abandon her whole life is really kinda depressing

I’m so glad that Maria didn’t die, if there’s any proof that Roy Mustang is awesome as a character then this as well as the next episode in question should be it. But I’ll save my thoughts for a particular scene in the next episode involving him when I write my thoughts for that episode for now I’m focusing on this episode. The ruins of Xerxes was really cool a place that Ed and Armstrong went to, we got to learn quite a lot about the first person that invented alchemy. Ed is going to be really pissed off when he finds Scar although it could be someone else in regards to Winry’s parents. Glad to see we managed to get some more Hawkeye action that was really cool and now she has to deal with Gluttony. Otherwise a great episode once again.

I like how the side characters develop so naturally throughout the story and get their own little arcs that coincide with the main characters' journey 
Also, I don't know if I saw correctly, but in the beginning when Armstrong and Edward are at the station, you see a little girl in the background who looks a lot like the girl from Xing with the panda

Roy Mustang being all flirty on the phone? Rizz-a Hawkeye being a deadpan sniper baddie? WHOOOWEEEMAMA what a little treat.

Also the plot in this is phenomenal its so well constructed that things sort of all tie into each other, the detail of Winry's parents being doctors tying into the injured ishvallen was super cool and well done!
Love this show

Does anybody notice the Chinese girl in the corner in the very first scene?

Anyways, I think the decision to reveal Mustang's plan early is cool, it'll be really hard to support anything else he's doing without an explanation.
A lot of things are being revealed at once. This is pretty flawless as a manga adaptation.

Can't wait for the scene where
Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.
