"The Promised Day has arrived."

Good episode. They slowed down a bit. Hohenheim doing that trap was cool. Greed running to Central. Lol at Pride trying to break out. Kimblee returns. Scar and Ed meeting up. Mustang and others trapped. Cliffhanger gunshots...if not for the preview. Next ep is gonna be good.

What a stupid cliffhanger. The preview for the next episode basically tells you "hey they survive lol" if common sense didn't already tell you that.

Anyway, it looks like they're going to face Father. I'm stoked on the fact that we have a 14-episode final battle. Apparently episode 59 is going to cover Chapter 104, according to the director's blog, so we're going to be going at a pretty slow and steady pace from now until the end.

In this episode... I really thought Pride was very cute here.
Smiling while attacking Ed and Greed.
Pride was like a cat. Kyaaaa~ kawaii. :3

Oh and yeah... the part where Hohenhiem said..."Gorius" (?) and Darius said like..."Darius da!" was very funny. lol.
And also the part where the chimeras are sitting and talking about Kimblee.

Can't wait for the next episode.

Pride is freaking awesome! His battle with Ed and his friends was epic! But Hoenheim is God! Look at the size of his transmutation! It was a freaking mountain!

Things are getting more and more epic, and now that the Promised Day has come, I'm expecting many great battles. ;)

It's The Promised Day already! ZOMG.
I'm seriously rooting for Greedling to rule the world xD
The upheaval in Central begins, and Hohenheim and Al are being awesome (I wanted to say something about Al's nerves of steel but then realised it would look like an incredibly lame pun, so yeah >.> not intended.)
Gahh, too tired to write another coherent sentence -.-

I didn't like the episode but the part after the credits and the preview for the next episode hyped me up.



And a question to manga readers: That guy with the little boy and girl in the scene right after the credits, do they play a major role or are they just some random characters?

Not random characters (they're Denny Brosh's younger siblings) but really not that important.

Wow, Pride suddenly decided to sport eyeliner! LOL

In all seriousness, I thought it was a decent episode. I felt that all they really managed to accomplish this week was trap Pride and stall for time, so if it wasn't for the post-credits action, I would have said this episode did very little. Also, if Hohenheim is so powerful, then why did he hang back for so long, risking the lives of his own two sons in the process? (this is a genuine question on my part - is there a specific reason that I've forgotten, or has it yet to be revealed? Or is it just a weird character quirk of his?)

So, I rate this episode 3/5.

Anyone know why they started cutting up the episodes and playing 5 minutes of them after the freaking credits? Pissing me off. They don't have anything before the intro anymore, so why did they start adding important story-related stuff after everyone has already turned off the tv? It's kinda dumb and uber annoying. I don't want to have to keep skipping ahead or watching lame outros (well the current one's not too lame) everytime I watch it. And if they don't add proper chapter jumps on the DVDs, you'll miss half the story. Plus it makes the episodes seem a lot shorter.

You probably don't remember that guy but he was the partner of the mole chick who Roy "killed". He doesn't know she's still alive which is probably why he's so depressed and sleeping during the day. lol not just some random guy.

That is because they're catching up to manga. I think it'll take then 10 more episodes to catch up to this Month's manga.
So... if you don't want shitty fillers, STFU and endure.

Hohenheim: "Heroes are supposed to come late."
Pride: "Hero? Are you here to defeat me?
Hohenheim: "Nah, you're scary as hell."

Cool ep. The trap was a nice plan, but I don't see how that is a contest of endurance, since it'll only be for a day. Selim is still evil as always.

That was a clever idea for a trap on Al's part. I'd hate to be alone with Pride too, whether or not he has his shadow spear things and billions of creepy eyes backing him. Ed's eyes at the "end" (before the outro) were intense. o_o

Hohenheim was cool in this episode too. :D It was pretty intense. At least Pride's trapped now... but I'm sure Envy will be a problem now. :\

Onto the final battle!

Thanks to you all, now I remember the Denny guy.

Hohenheim was a badass! but yes, what's it that has been keeping him from showing up earlier? I want to know.

I never like Pride, but this ep. just made me adore him a little. So he had goodness in him after all. When he said he loved Madam Bradley was really cute, I wonder if someday he'll protect her the same way she did to him. Or maybe he's just an antagonist to the core. Dunno.

PS. The cutest part for me, was when Pride was trying to escape the trap with the small log.

The end theme (music) fits very well with the story right now. Ed picking up his red coat and putting it on to that just seemed to work so well for the episode.

Should it be sad now that twice in a season I've been glad that subs scrolls by to quickly for me to process?

Hohenheim was able to trap Pride, but only temporarily.
