I really like Ed's voice so much better in Japanese. He's only suppose to be 12 and it's very misleading that he's so young with the English voice.

If there are only two people who pass every year, just how many State Alchemists are there? Is there only a single test county-wide?

On the fence about this episode...

I liked the childbirth scene although it was basically filler. Well done and a good way to connect with Hughes and his family emotionally. Didn't like the exam that much since only the practical exam was really shown. The preliminary exam and the interview got a few seconds each. Could've been done better IMO. But maybe they cover these two in future flashbacks?

The part with Tucker and Nina was the only part directly from the manga. Hoping for a good adaptation for the rest of this arc next episode.

Oh boy.. here we go.

Nina is a cute presence + that whole birth scene was sweet. My favorite part was when al compared it to the equivalent exchange rule lmao

Episode 5 was pretty crucial to the plot, my d00d. It's how Roy allowed Ed entry into this episode's events in the first place.

I like how Al still has facial expressions as the armor.

Nice guy Tucker is here :P he would never do something bad at all, amirite?

Anyways Ed had good intuition, creating that awesome flower wreath!

2022 rewatch
quite a bit happened here, that's for sure. the elric brothers are living with tucker to study for the exam, witness a birth, and then ed passes the state alchemist exam. it's really great to say the least. it's gonna get crazier from here though

Another decent episode. Idk why, but for some reason the show just isn't grabbing me at all. The pace is weird. It feels like it's ridiculously dragged out, but at the same time is skimming over everything. Like, did we have to spend 5 minutes on the gag birth scene, and then spend like 30 seconds on the alchemy interview?


I agree, a couple guys do some alchemy, then Ed does his and gets accepted lol. At least the birth scene was funny.

Just thought I'd post a video of the funny scene people have been talking about (its the Funi dub by the way).


Thanks for posting this! This scene was the best part of this show for me, so far.
