Lolwut. Now it looks like Edward has to worry about ze Germans as well as the Homunculi in a confusing plot shift. I don't understand if the baby is supposed to be Ed's son or his brother, Dante wasn't terribly clear about that.

Only 2 episodes left :O

i've even read about this parallel-dimension-twist in FMA before and i'm still confused... i thought beyond the gate is like... hell/heaven/some place where spirits go :-??
it's really sad when good anime end (up) by making no sense at all :|

Hmph, I thought that Hohenheim is somewhat sealed inside the baby, but I really can't get the gist out of this episode for now. And "the other side" looks almost as confusing as the case with the baby. I thought too, that beyond the gate lies something like Heaven/Hell.

Izumi stop pushing yourself too hard :(

so Ed really liked Rose huh??

more so than winry??

i like sheska thinking on how the homunculus would unintentionally scare anyone that came close to the philosophers stone.

so who was the alchemist that showed the passage to tringham's father.

Hohenheim???

yeah i was confused too.

did Dante sealed Hohenheim in the baby??

she did toss the baby and instead of killing it, Hohenheim disappeared.

and wow Dante had sacrifice ALOT of people.

there would probably multiple cities underground in all other places.

so what about Hohenheim though?? is this the place beyond the gate???

i thought it was heaven or hell or something divine

and Zeppelins?? wtf?!?!?!?!

they better explain this in two episdoes :O

i wonder from who that baby is and is it just me or did Rose look like a soulless doll as well in this episode.

Hohenheim isn't death :O that's finally someone i am glad to see return.

wait did Dante just say she wanted to have sex with Ed in Rose her body :O that's a pretty crazy line lol

Gluttony is going to come for you Wrath you in big trouble now you already where with Envy beating you up but now even more.

i am starting to get really confused but i hope everything gets more clear in the next 2 episodes but this zeppelin don't make sense at all and are way to random and this body he is in looks more like his brother does this mean he gets it back :O i thought Ed has given up hope on that i am curious how this will end.

Ok Dante pulled a creepy one when she said she wanna go for a 16 year old, being a 400ish something female herself. Uh. It's kinda weird actually, as generally when people mature, their desires mature as well. As in... would you if you're 30, want a candy as much as when you're 3?

But maybe knowing she's immortal, she didn't even make any effort to put a restrain on herself...

Ah, Ed... in short hair you're still cute :)

It kinda felt like Doctor Who at the end. Which I've barely seen, but it still felt like it xP

I dunno how they're going to wrap this up in just 2 episodes...Now I kinda get why people say Brotherhood is better. Although I haven't seen it, I know it has more episodes and follows the manga better. I still really like the original series though. <3

And seriously, if I knew that huge city was under Central, I'd be hanging out down there all the time. xD

I imagined that the episode could be better than the previous, instead I was disappointed a little, it lacks bite just at the climax, but the final twist is made more intriguing narration at the end.

Lol wait WHAT? The other side of the gate is some alternate world seemingly without alchemy? I thought it'd be some kind of world full of spirits/homonculi or something. So strange. There's only two episodes left to explain all this lol hope they can do it!

Al said "kuso" at the beginning and I audibly gasped. I think it was the first time we saw him cursing (or maybe I just forgot)

When Envy started beating Wrath up I was really happy, that kid deserved it.

That part when Dante said she couldn't wait to "possess" Rose (I can't think of any other way to describe it right now, damn) and make love to Ed actually made me say "Ew". She's like 400 years old and he's 16!

Some scenes in this episode were animated really weirdly. Was I the only one who thought so?

Also what the hell is going on at the end? Can't wait to see what's up with that!

I'm really pissed Gluttony knocked candles off the table just for them to not catch anything on fire, ahah.

Also the angle shots in this episode was wild.

I do like the conversation where Dante explains the world is random and cruel. She definitely understands that life lesson, but it doesn't mean you have to be a soulless bitch because you can.

"I was looking forward to taking this girl's body and making love to Hohenheim's son."

*Jerry the King Lawler voice* Dante is sick and twisted. I usually like that in a person, but not Dante! Anyway, if there's one thing I can say about this series, it's that I wish she appeared as an antagonist wayyy earlier.

I really liked the camera work in this episode when Dante and Ed were talking. But if I was in that situation, I would have been like, "By the way, can we stop talking like this? I'm getting really dizzy!"

Alrighty, that ending was definitely random. So Ed got transported to a different dimension?

All of the above. You have an incredible world and story created and then think it would be a nice twist to throw WW1 and Nazi's attacking on zeppelins in the mix? This might very well just ruin the series for me. Let's see if the last episodes can fix it.
