oh yea, that's right... wrath doesn't have a physical weakness like all the other homunculus. though he does have an increasing irritation towards baby cries, guess that counts for something.

this anime is really sick... how much drama do they still need to make it the most tearful 'soap opera' i've ever seen????? i mean Rose gettin rapped and losing her voice and having a baby?! that's just soooo 'days of our lives'!.... or 'sin senas no hay paraiso'!
seriously, someone should really tell the producers that people who intend to watch FMA want to see an anime, not a televisa telenovela!

don't get me wrong, i still like [not love] this show and i know it ended like 3-4 years ago, but sometimes FMA is really getting on my nerves.... if they had as many fight scenes as drama scenes, it could have been the best anime ever...

I think this is one of the best eps! Full of action and moments that made my heart skip a beat. All just very very very awesome to me. Plus great cliffhanger at the end. damn i LOVE this show.

This episode is one of the best to now. It has enough of the drama and action, well consisting both of them. Really, I think that Ed had no reason, not to recognize Sloth as his own creation long time ago. Kimbley is finally dead, I waited for this almost as long as I since I knew he was actually alive. Lust is going on her own, and I have the feeling that this act is not going to end well for her - it's not like I care for her, she's nothing more than a bitch. Al seem to have heard/realized that Fuhrer is actually a hommunculi. Rose turns to be pretty much, one of the most dramatic characters in FMA. And that's good, if I want to watch some senseless action, I'll just switch to Naruto or even better, Bleach.

yep.
watch FMA for the story
bleach for the fights
and naruto for both

a baby's cries may not be wrath's weakness, but its definitly the closest thing to it. have him in a room with a loudspeaker, and just have a recoding of babies crying....in repeat. torture room for him, lol

very intense episode!!!!

death of the Liore people, Rose lose of voice and being tortured and possible rape.
death of State Alchemist??

so are we going to see the creator of Homunculus :P

i knew that general was pride. still he annoyed me though.

finally Scar got he's revenge!!!!

that bastard Kimbley. fucking die already.

he freaking annoys me and i really want to punch his face.

oh nooo Alphonse!!!!!

hope he survives that bastard bomber.

so now Ed see's he's mother resurrected as the president's secretary.

also Wrath seems to have some annoyance to baby despite not having a weakness(Izumi traded his own body after all)

notice how towards the end they made some manga strips.

pretty cool :P

Rose was finally be able to speak!!!!!!

things are getting really freaky and intense, don't think the opening/ending matches what's going on anymore. Need opening 4! Edward and Alphonse are too nice x_x Scar, his people, are all going through so much pain and suffering, and his arm just got torn off again T_T! really don't think it's fair for the Elric brothers to try and stop him, he getting HURT protecting them, his people, and fighting the military + homunguli. MAN Scar is the Jesus messiah! Those military dogs deserved to die anyways. Let him clean the Earth loool.

this was a amazing episode one that might be the best episode in the show.

well i thought Ed never saw Sloth but i guess he did from what he was saying but then again he probably never saw her from the front or he just saw a glimpse of her. he might have noticed she looked like his mom but of course he would never say she is cause at the time they didn't find much out about anything and after they did find out some things he never met with her so had no time to think about such things.

damn i want to see the next episode but got to sleep again.

So Marta (Martel?) really did get a chance to tell Al that the leader guy is a Homunculus! That's good! Poor Marta (Martel?) though...

Geez that ending! Rose talked! And Wrath has a weakness for babies crying...Hmm...

I wonder what Scar is going to do about his arm...Maybe he can get Winry to make him an automail one ;P

So ALL the Homunculi are there? Wow =O That's a lot of Homunculi...

Exactly!!! That's what I've been thinking this whole time. He and Al saw her on Yock Island with Pride disguised as the leader guy (Fuhrer?) and had no reaction to her, then Winry sees her and knows right away that she looks just like Ed and Al's mom. Then Ed sees her again in this episode and even then it takes him some time to notice. It wasn't until Sloth/secretary said "my son" that he finally recognized her.

Rose talked! Well, she was only mute because of her emotional trauma, not because of physical damage. But that's still cool that her trying to save Ed was enough to bring her voice back. I hope that she doesn't get killed by Wrath!

And the fight between Crimson and Scar was awesome. It surprised me when Scar blew his own arm off. I wonder what the heck Al is going to do to not get blown up?? If that seal gets damaged...!

Finally Ed knows about Sloth! I still disagree what people say about how Ed didn't notice, because he clearly did notice the first couple of times he saw her. But there was no reason for him to think much of it until they learned how homunculi were born. Al tried to talk to Ed about it and what they transmuted, but Ed quickly silenced him. I think he noticed all too well, but was in total denial until now when forced to face the truth.

Episode that does not regret much the previous one, also here the exciting moments and twists are to be appreciated, the mysteries are not lacking but as usual some are revealed. The drawings and the animations are good as quality, the promo is tempting, hard to resist and not to look at once the next episode. :P

I hope that still image animation near the end isn't because they ran out of budget. There are still 10 eps left lol, don't want them to look bad. Scar vs Kimblee was great, dunno what's gonna happen to Al though... I love Rose's character in this version, mostly because she's an actual character. She doesn't really matter in FMAB.

Another good episode, seems like the series is culminating nicely. Sick fight between Scar and Kimblee, wonder what happens to Al now. Ed has to fight against his mom, tough luck. And it's revealed that there is a person controlling the homunculi. Maybe we see their dad as the mastermind? Would be pretty sick...

Izumi mentioned using other bits as well to restore the body. And there are also Ed's limbs. So Wrath may still be vulnerable...

Apparently she cannot get rid of her human memories. She even went unconscious when reminded of Scar's brother last time. I agree that it most likely ends up killing her since she does not follow "you-know-who's" orders...

The still shots were really weird at the end, felt out of place with the show and made that moment a bit comical, which it should not be at all. Other than that, another great episode and it was nice seeing Rose talk through her trauma and tell Ed to 'move forward', words she treasured when Ed opened her eyes to reality about her boyfriend not being able to return from the dead ages ago.
