| I liked it, Barry the Chopper =D |
| Armstrong is epic as always. =)) LOL at Sheska and the brothers sulking together. |
| [insert awesome signature here] |
| Great ep. The brothers are really making funny faces. lol |
| The new way Rosh and Brosh act is quite funny :D Armstrong is funnier than FMA too :D And Sheska is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more kawai then before, it's just impossible not to mention it :P |
  |
| dat armstrong lolo nice cliffhanger, some action coming up next ;) |
| Skeska is a pretty awesome character. Nice ending, next episode may be pretty good. |
| Bunch of rich kids aren't they? xD |
 |
| Quite an amazing episode again they're really making this compact and with a good pas, though I wonder they've bundled so many episodes in to one that they still come to a larger total episode count than the original, well let's see what they've got to offer us it's definitely great to have seen the original as you can really put both side by side and get a great complete story! |

| amazing O___O in here the fight between scar and gluttony took place in the sewers and lust just burned the library herself instead. in the first season gluttony and lust fought scar in the library and due to the destruction it burned during their fights. wahh Lituenant Ross voice actor change from Saiga, Mitsuki to Nazuka, Kaori(Nunnaly!!!) and Havoc's voice actor is Kimbley's voice from the first season XD they also switch Sheska's voice!! i like her first voice, here it isn't bad :P the scene where edward helped sheska is exactly the same in the first season. they also sped up when sheska wrote marcho's research. also the same days where it took her to wrote them(5 days) and Edwrd read all of them in 10 days. and yeah when Armstrong got the info from Ross and Havoc is much better(he barged in and destroyed the door) Ed didn't seem as gloomy compared to the first season when he learned the ingredient for making the philosopher's stone(Ross had to help him out) ahaha Ed said to himself he's small is so funny XD they didn't also show Barry's short story from the first season :P can't wait for the fight ^^ |
| Oh, Armstrong. So delightfully hammy. |

Sapta said: Sorry to break the flow of "loved it" but I didn't like it that much. But I am noticing that it's always taking me 2-3 viewings to like the new series episodes. They are in fact quite good, but I can't help compare it to FMA1 in my first viewing. Anyway, what I didn't like- 1. The Scar-homunculus fight was too short. 2. How Sheska (I always thought her name was Cheska when I watched FMA1 dubbed !!) was introduced. I mean not how she introduced herself and all coz that was very good and funny but how Ed and Al were suddenly taken to a fired ex-employee seemed like "rushed" (oh no here's that word again, sorry). Anyway when I watched that part a second time, it did seem quite logical for the military to keep such information. 3. How Ed and Al revealed the truth to Ross and Brosh themselves and then requested them to keep quiet about it didn't feel right with me. Obviously they had to tell Armstrong. In FMA1 Ross overheard it which I personally found better. 4. Was it just me or did it seem like the conversation where Hughes gives Sheska the job misses a few lines? like Sheska saying she can reproduce all the records or Hughes confirming that she can do it. In the episode, it showed Sheska saying she memorized the records and Hughes immediately saying "Alright, let's go through the procedures" . A trifle thing but well it's bugging me. 5. Still can't find a stand-out/moving music theme. Arghhh. this is exactly how i feel. this show fails as a remake for me. the plot in fma was nicely built to give a nice touch and things were expanded on. i personally am not fond of the way fmab is doing this. too rushed. poeple who didnt watch fma and started in fmab just miss out all the good stuff |
| I'm surprised at how quickly things are moving along. Fast paced stuff this for such a long series. |

| He admitted that he is small :P Anyway the introduction of Sheska was hilarious. |

| ohhhh hits fight looks like its gonna be good |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| -Flamel?? damn Harry Potter reference! -Sheska! I really like that girl :D -and a lot happened already and its only episode 7 and this has 64 episodes!! |
 |
| The jokes weren't funny, but the whole episode feels like a good slice of life. |
| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
| Nice episode. Good to see Sheska again :D Her ability is super!!! |
| Armstrong's so awesome. Can't help but smile whenever he appears :D |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| I don't see people mention it much but it's a given fact that Al is always adorable The ~Rejected while sitting outside <3 My memory of the first series dwindles at this point so I can stop comparing the two now |
| Hmph. Wasn't even in the library. |
| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| DAMN IT ARMSTRONG I WANTED TO KNOW WHAT ED WAS GOING TO ASK AL |

| Oh is that still Barry the Chopper? He was introduced much earlier in the original series, so I thought that was just filler. |
| Really interesting episode!! Quite surprise on the truth behind the Philisopher's Stone. Really love Armstrong! He's so hilarious! xD |
 |
| Armstrong is hilarious xDD |
 |
| That was a bit of a shocker... human lives, damn. And that cliffhanger ending!!!! Not cool, guess I'll just have to keep watching... |
| OMG I love Armstrong! haha Ed calling himself chibi was fun :D |
 |
| Episode that has many differences in the narrative, but the ultimate goal is the same, get to discover the secrets of Marco. Nice tale, many gags dot the episode, drawings and animations of good, for now nothing new in the plot. Armstrong in this reboot, seems to occupy more space than the FMA. |
 |
| i'm still amazed at how great the pacing this anime has :D 5/5 |

| I can't help it not to love this great anime, It was a wonderful episode. |
| I don't really get why they think the prisoners being sacrificed for the stone is so bad, I mean, between getting executed and being sacrificed.. I don't really see the problem. |
| The Soylent Green moment: philosopher stones are made of people?! |
| So basically the stone is in essence the soul of humanity. Armstrong is starting to grow on me. He seemed like a stereotype muscle guy, but he is a great guy at heart. |
 |
| Well the story is somewhat similar to the 1st version in 2003. They finished about 20-25 episodes of 2003 version in just 7 episodes. Though the story keeps the viewer interested in my opinion the 2003 version had way better execution. |
 |
| Sheska was awesome, cute and very helpful for Elric brothers, and Armstrong was epic as always! :D |
| Aw sheska is adorable |
| I found the fact that a philosophers stone requires living humans to be created very clever. Think about it, the law of equivalent exchange dictates that "In order for something to be gained, something of equal value must be lost" the only exemption is done by the usage philosophers stone. So the stone must indeed be of great value. And what is more valuable than existence itself? It is irreplaceable and irreplicable. Nothing matters once you are dead so of course it's value has to be infinite. So therefore it's only natural for human lives to be the source of the stone. The fifth laboratory, huh? It seems Central's list of offences doesn't end with genociding the Ishvalans alone. I really want to hear King Bradley's and Roy's stance about all this. This episode is nice, a bit of light-hearted humor here in there, the lack of seriousness that is I guess the characteristic of FMA. 3/5 |

| Sheska was cute before and is still adorable! |
 |
| Sheska might look like a normal side character but being able to memorize a whole library of books word for word is pretty damn impressive. It took them quite a while to decipher the code to the Philosopher's Stone and they really didn't like what they found out. After the whole human chimera transmutation fiasco, the last thing they'd like to find out is that their only hope for returning their bodies back to normal requires the sacrifice of human lives regardless of whether they're good or bad. They broke into prison but there's very little to no guard presence and it looks like the prisoners took over for a pretty long time now. |
 |
| Really good episode, things are becoming really interesting. |
 |
| they skipped the whole sequence of the burning of the library! by episode 7 of FMA i'm pretty sure they were still on the flashbacks, this show is moving much quicker than i anticipated and i'm hoping this quick pace continues throughout also gluttony is terrifying |
