| interesting I just watched this and episode 39 of brotherhood... ties very well with it since she gives back the earrings to Ed in a small scene... interesting timing |
    |
| I thought that the Blind Alchemist was one of a kind, so I'm really glad they made one more. Hopefully not the last. Couldn't stop smiling throughout the entire 10 minutes of it. Pity they're so short, but they fill in my need for some "peaceful" outtakes. Loved how Winry is so easy to placate. Hehe! :) Definitely a must watch for any FMA fan! :D |
| That was really good, the humor was good and the length was just right as well. The ending music was....different, but it wasn't that bad. Will there be more OVA's? I sure hope so. |
 |
| I just loved how Ed pacified Winry with a gift the moment she started flipping out xD Much less intense than 'The Blind Alchemist', but still a very nice side story. |

| Watching this after watching episode 39 is amazing. Really, this OVA is win. |
| This makes episode 39 seem a little clearer with Winry's earings. But I also liked Hawkeye's side of the story. |
 |
| I love peircings :D I want one xD |
| Simple reasons for a little change in style. Still I don't wanna be at the end of Hawkeye rifle. |
| Nice OVA! It was cute! ^^ |
| Don't belive in yourself! Belive in me who belives in you! (TTGL) XD ...LOVE and PEACE!! ^_^ |
| Nice story. The piercings and the hairstyle. Wish they'd given the earrings more sentimental value, but I suppose getting them as gifts from the guys you've always thought of as brothers is special enough. Amusing that if they'd kept buying her more she'd keep getting her ears pierced to hold them all at once. When they said those lines I thought "do your ears hang low.." XD Nice shipping moments for Winry, Ed and Al, and a nice relationship builder for two characters we don't see interact much. Wonder if Winry and Riza realize that they single-handedly changed the other's style? Annoyed at how long it took me to find a sub and get it watched >.> Hoping for more of these short stories that build on a character's backstory. :) |

| I loved this short story. Is cute and touching :3 Riza's long hair is beautiful *---* I loved seeing her shooting with her hair down <3333 darn sexy *0*~ It was nice to see why Winry gave her earrings to Ed in Briggs... it gives another meaning for the act... I liked it, since I didn't know that Ed gave her them <3 cute. I'm currently loving these specials, they give another meaning to "character development" and also help us to bound to them... Also, they're new even to the ones who read the manga, so it's really, really nice to see something new. I'm wondering if there's going to be one about the Xing guys... I love them *-* |

I love them *-* Not new at all to those who read the manga. So far all of them have been based on special side chapters. As for one about Xing, the closest I can think of would be showing what Maria Ross did while in Xing (she did a lot of amazing things while over there). |
| They come with the DVDs, so i guess we'll be waiting a while for the rest. =) |
 |
| Really nice side story.... Really makes sense XD Hope they create more! |
 |
| Hmm.. How come I managed to forget to watch this one, despite having it in my anime folder for like... Since it came out? xD.. Anyway, I guess this explains why Winry's got so many ear rings then? ^^; Also, it looked really strange seeing Riza with long hair o.O |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| Lovely little short story. :) Loved learning the history behind Winry's earrings and Hawkeye's hairstyle... And I have to agree with Hawkeye. A lot of people's reasons for doing things are simple... no? Anyways, really liked this little "episode"~ |
| Very simple reasons, yet interesting. |
 |
| *claps* |
| Simple reasons are nice~. Wanted to see more of Riza, though. |
| [insert awesome signature here] |
| This was one of those fun to watch light-hearted episodes. I was dying of laughter at Ed and Al's reaction when their gift plan worked LoL. Hawkeye/Winry were cute this episode. ^^ I was about to give it a 3 or 4 out of 5 but....... the second ARMSTRONG TAISHO's superman theme played I had to give it a 5/5! |
 |
| This episode was fun to watch. |
 |
| Aw, that explains some things... |

Such a nice side story. ^_^ These. I loved this. Riza and Winry are both great characters. To know that they influenced eachother in such a small way is great! :D |
 |
| Winry is such a good person! |
| simple but awesome episode :D so that's what Ed's been giving Winry in order for not to hit her whenever he breaks his automail arm XD Winry with soo many piercings O____O it definitely looks like it would hurt someone :\ Hawkeye with that Long hair!!!!! amazing stuff, so that's why Riza changed her hair :) 2 episodes left! |
| Love how it focused part of the episode on riza's hair,she always more beautiful with it down. <3 |
 |
| Ed's evil face. Nice side story. Riza:We live in a very simple world.When you pull the trigger,one will die... Very good line. |
| I Love hawkeye hair |
| I expected Riza to have a bit more depth to her hairstyle, but hey, something is better than nothing. |

| Winry and all her piercings! D: It looked like it hurt too. Dx Cool episode, nice fighting scene, funny comedy as well. :3 |
| Check out my list! :O Meep! :3 |
| Nice to get some info on the girls. |
| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| A funny OVA, with winry. I hope the others OVAs are like the two first :) |
| I just realized how much of a tsundere Ed is LOL |
| So they influenced each other, that's why they look almost the same. But Winry is still prettier :P |
| I really liked this episode because of the Winry and Hawkeye influence. xD Great little backstory. And man, are they going to end every episode with a deep line? "We are living in a simple world, where we pull the trigger, and the enemy dies." |
 |
| That was a cool story, glad we got an OVA out of it. I liked how Winry and Hawkeye influenced each other. And I love the ED OST song! |
| Maybe the world is not that complex |
