Very solid episode. I liked it. So, this is where the manga and this version truly diverge, with the introduction of Leera.

Oh yeah, they did adapt the events that happened in Youswell in this series. Ed's awesome in this episode. He tricks the comic relief Yoki and helps the townsfolk. This feel-good episode was definitely needed after the previous episode. Huh, Lyra's mad cute and despite being an anime exclusive character she doesn't seem all that out of place

All's well that's Youswell!

Winry was visibly trying to liven the things up, but that sadness in her and Ed's eyes felt awkward
Too bad her appearance was so short-lived, I had hoped for more

That was a rather abrupt timeskip at the end, but the episode was pretty fun all the same.

Not a timeskip, the entire last seven episodes was just one long flashback

I figured out what Ed was doing with the gold (that it wasn't/wouldn't remain real) while he was offering to "sell" the ownership of the mine to the inn owner.

So he just coated some stones with the gold that he obtained from the coins?

This is the first episode after the first couple that I rather liked than not

Some busty babe next episode

Interesting that they put the coal mine in. This was the third manga chapter and although it's not really relevant to the story, I liked the adaptation. Lyra was added but she fits in very well.

Gives a good comic relief after the last two episodes and it seems like we are back to the main story.

well edwards IQ really shined this episode haha. It's nice seeing the underrated waifu known as lyra for the first time and I thought the air attack concept is super cool

And now we're back to the present timeline. Ngl this was a nice was of doing backstory that flows naturally into the present.

WTF why was this episode so good? Businessman Ed cracked me up with his smug sarcastic ass throwing Yoki's words back at him and hopefully we get see Lyra again because as others have said, she's cute. All in all, this episode was hilarious and entertaining.

Also more Winry please!

2022 rewatch
this episode was pretty enjoyable to say the least! it was really fun to see how ed outsmarted yoki into giving him complete ownership of the mining town without actually breaking the law.
one of my most favorite parts of this episode is definitely the end as it shows how the flashback segment of the show ended as we see the elric brothers head into leore. hell, we even know why they were walking all the way there. they didn't have to put that there but i definitely appreciate it as that just lessens the amount of questions i have for why certain things just happened.
