THE ENDING SCENE. I LOVED BADASS, DETERMINED EDWARD.

Loved, loved watching this with all the knowledge I have of the future story. So much foreshadowing, Arakawa-sensei is awesome like that.

Looks like next episode is Hoho-papa filler. But it looks pretty sweet.

Brilliant ending! Only problem I had with this episode was that Envy stayed in his big form, which I was expecting but still :p

I don't see why they would do a filler now? I think the update was today that the second season will end at episode 63. Odd number, but I don't think that'll be enough to cover the length of the remainder of the manga, not to mention the manga is still ongoing.

Loved it. My jaw literally dropped when I realized just who was on the other side of the Door of Truth. Very few flaws in this episode, and even those were made up for by all the other stuff. I'd write more but I'm currently sick so I'll just stop here.

Finally out of Gluttony's "belly" :D
Ed was really badass at the end struggling to get the body of Al...

Nxt episode, we will now see the "Father" of the homunculus.

BTW, there are only 63 epi in total?

.....iie...wrong...

Can't wait until next episode though. Looks like they're doing a flashback of how Hohenheim meets Pinako! (and consequently Trisha?)

The remake is gradually getting better :3

Epic ending and a lot of good developments. Brotherhood is far better than the first FMA, at least it makes sense past the 20th episode, and continues to grow on the right tracks. The animation remains crisp up until now, which is good too.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

Very good ep.

I was shocked after seeing Ed using himself to open the gate for Lin and Envy - who is way more bizarre than I thought. All these Xerxes people... x_x

The flashback from when King Bradley was turned into a homunculus is cool, too. The same with the Scar and Mei fighting the chimeras.

And, of course, the ending was awesome. Poor Alphonse! :[

Wow it's been a month since I wrote in MAL for fma - but damn...this episode was incredible.

The one thing that really got me was how beautifully the music fit in with certain scenes. I loved the music when Ed had his flashback of Nina and when he gets pwned by Envy.

Bradley's past was a very surprisingly treat, I totally did not expect that. But I really want to know what's going to happen to Mustang XD

How Ed decides to transmute everyone out of Gluttony's stomach was pretty awesome.

And the ending.....I tried my best not to cry :(!!

Also, thank you to all the people who spoiled next episode, I absolutely love how some people are still uncapable of using spoiler tags. In case you didn't know, that was sarcasm.

Yesssssssssss. We are so close to one of my favorite events in the series :3

I really enjoyed this episode and although it's a little late, I have to say they did a great job making Envy's true form look even more disgusting than it was in the manga.

The funny thing is that's not even true, so anyone "spoiled" by that idiot will hopefully see this and be relieved. Other than that, now that was an ending >_> I was just expecting the episode to end, but then Ed has a moment of epicness XD

I can only think of one word to describe this episode....EPIC
I never would've thought that the other version was so far off from the actual story.

Just a thought, should Brotherhood be made as the original and make the first one the alternate version?

Ed is the f-ing man case closed. Great episode, and boy only 63 episodes slated? I don't think they are going to get to the end of the manga, even though the manga itself will be ending soon.

I highly doubt that the series will get up to that point. I am kinda hoping Bones doesn't pull an FMA-1 and deviate from the story again... Maybe they will just put the show on hiatus.... Or release a few movies to wrap it up.

My thoughts on episode 26:

-Nothing will surpass LET IT OUT as an ED song. (At least... nothing has YET)
-This episode officially surpasses anything series 1 offered.... and that includes the movie. (And I loved that show too)
-Ed has just leveled up to a new kind of BADASS.
-Despite being evil, Bradley was pretty hot when he was young. (heh)
-Romi Paku is AMAZING.

FINALLY. I've been waiting for this episode ever since brotherhood started. I had such high expectations from it and I can honestly say that this episode EXCEEDED my expectations. (I honestly didn't think that Ed would be able to punch those doors open again. HE IS AWESOME.)
And since this episode was what I was waiting for me to rate Brotherhood...

I gave it a 10.

It deserves it. Not a single scene out of place. Music was spot on And if there were flaws, they were hardly noticeable... Maybe just the fact that the Episode ended so quickly.

Now I'm waiting for the next awesome thing for them to animate.

But for now, this is by far my favorite. XD

FMA rocks!!

After the lame (fast-forwarded) start, this series has really became one of the most awesome series I have watched (I know that my list is waaay too short, but meh :| )

The GCI Envy succeeds in looking ugly, but it also does look a little out of the place sometimes.

Because there are no japanese sources to confirm that. If you want you can believe in something anounced in pesky anime panel in USA, but I will wait for official sources ;]
