For some reason I just loved this episode. All the Roy and Riza stuff kind of made my day. :D

Amazing cliffhanger. They're really doing the manga justice now (even though they made some weird changes, such as Envy being a dog in the anime when he was a horse in the manga, and Envy transforming into an injured Lan Fan instead of a masked one).

Yeah, it makes Ling look upset about her being injured where in the manga the implication is he could never hurt her, period. The manga scene echoes the reaction Hughes has to seeing his wife. So basically they're trying to kill the Ling/Lan Fan ship. >.>

Awesome episode, but there could have been a little more action. I can't wait for next weeks episode with Ed and Ling inside Gluttoney with Envy and Mustang talks? with the Warth.

Ugh, I really hope they don't do that. The Ling/Ran Fan ness is one of my top reasons of me even bothering to watch this passive remake...Whatever, manga shall always be the one true canon for me =.= At least they're doing some justice to Roy/Riza, as opposed to the first anime series...(facepalm)

But I do admit this ep is better than the last one.
Definitely an intense cliffhangar for non-manga followers. I can't wait to see the next ep, when Envy shows the true form 8)

I felt really disconnected to this episode until the very end. Something about it was just...off. The cliffhanger was done right, but a little more build-up to it couldn't have hurt. There's pretty much no way Mustar-- er, Mustang isn't screwed royally.

DO NOT TELL/COMPARE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT, EVEN REMOTELY.

Someone did that in another episode forum and it totally ruined the cliffhanger.

That seems like reaching to me. I certainly didn't get that impression. In fact, I feel that removing the mask makes it easier to understand as a matter of attraction rather than loyalty to a subordinate.

Quite enjoying this, even if my anticipation for the next episode can't reach that of my anticipation for the next manga chapter. Might just be my poor memory for details, but the odd difference here and there really isn't bothering me like it seems to most manga readers.

Well, they kept trying to kill the Roy/Riza moments but finally stopped. So I assume they will go the same route for Ling and Lan Fan. So far only Ed and Winry's moments have been relatively untouched.

Also I just realized Envy never saw the bandaged up Lan Fan. So... that's even weirder.

Pretty sure the reason Envy turned into bandaged Lan Fan in the anime was because they cut his earlier fight with Lin and her. Thus he never saw her masked, but only injured when Lin was helping her to the car.

'WHO ARE YOU CALLING A WATER FLEA, PARAMECIUM, MIDGET?!' - YUSSS they kept his exaggeration xD

-Crowning Music of Awesome starting- '...of royal bloodline-' 'Go 'head and drink him.' -music DECAAAY-
Lol.

...is it just me, or did the subbers make a mistake? It should be 'crossed swords with Wrath', not Lust... o.O Whooa.

(no spoiler here, just a pic)
- makes me a happy panda x3

Once again, I confirmed that I love Al's seiyuu.

The episode was very good, but the scene where Mustang walks into the meeting, then changing the scene to the stomach with Roy's words in the background, and finally the scene inside it, with the epic music...it was PERFECT. I got chills all over.

Quite a good episode, despite a weak first half. It seems like things will get complicated from now on. Nice cliffhanger as usual (and weak introduction/beginning of development, but I already wrote it).

Its weird how nobody mentioned that envy keeps referring to Ling fighting Lust but that fight never even happened in the anime. Its so pathetic that they couldn't even edit the dialogues to adjust for that fact. The rest was good.

Not a bad episode. I was much more interested in Mustang's developments than Ed's. Being trapped in Gulttony's stomach is just dumb to me. I really want that little battle to be over. Ling v. Envy was good though. I think I'm pretty much liking Ling because of Miyano Mamorou, because I'm not seeing any reason to like him contextually. Also, a couple of the comedic moments really intruded on the tension, especially the panda on Mustang and Envy siccing Gluttony on Ling.

Haha, what a f*cked up situation for Ed and Roy. Though both will probably be okay, the Homonculus don't seem to want to get rid of them just yet. I wonder what happened to Envy, with 3/4 of his body being in Gluttony, can he survive that?
