| I actually... liked it. A lot. Very intriguing OVA. It had the spook factor that I love. Rosalie's corpse is just freaky. And the fact that Amy can just go and brush her hair is even creepier. @_@ I find it interesting how everyone in the household's like, in it together to keep deceiving Judou. Hmm~. |
| [insert awesome signature here] |
| I had no expectations coming into this. FMA:Brotherhood has proved me wrong once again. I guess that's why it's the best. |
 |
| I'm actually decently surprised at how good that was. The real Rosalie scared me at first. |
| great episode. yeah it was definitely scary to learn the truth about all of this. i wonder if Judou will learn the truth someday? guess they will have to live a live pretty much forever if they want to keep these things the way they are. though i don't know what happened to the master of the mansion? he just died of a disease of natural causes right? can't wait for the other 3 :) |
| Rosalie:Oooww.Whole armor.A freak Al:Freak??!! Rosalie:Freak,freak,freak,freak,freak,freak,freak... Funny scene... FAKE human transformation. Yet it was quite decent episode. |
| Whoa! D: I did not expect that! Well, human transmutation IS considered impossible, so I knew there was no way it would work....and I was right. o-o The whole family was "faking" the return of there daughter Rosaly....and that poor blind alchemist can't see that the girl, Emi, is NOT Rosaly.... LOL! Freaky episode, but really good. xD |
| Check out my list! :O Meep! :3 |
| Creepy episode. |
| Pretty heartbreaking act, even for an alchemist accepted as family. |
| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| I loved the OVA, and that plot twist. |
 |
| OH very nice ! I want more OVA like this, the transmutation human is too dangerous. I'm sad for the butler ("_") |
| Wow, that room set up with Rosaline's skeleton was creepy as hell. They should just let the poor soul who's trapped inside the skeleton pass on. Al: They're nice people, huh? Ed: Yeah. Even though, their lives are broken. What an ending line. |
| Well they're certainly not what I'd call "good people". Sugarcoating the world until you like it is not really good. |
| Wow, everyone had a happy ending but "they weren't saved". Sounds pretty sad to be living in a world of ignorance. |
 |
| That's nice of the family to let the alchemist think he was successful with his transmutation, but still creepy. Good OVA though |
| Poor Jude, but the family was really nice to go so far of even adopting a kid so he could believe he didn't lost his eyes for nothing... |
 |
| That was creepy and sad. 4/5 |
 |
| Beautiful and sad at the same time. Could've just fit into the main series as them trying to find out more about human transmutation. |
 |
| Creepy. But the story was really engaging and nicely wrapped (what was with the ending though? "None of them were saved"? What happened? Overall it was quite nice (even though it sends canon to go f**k itself, since we know there's someone else who has performed Human Transmutation). The first OVA gets a 7/10 |
| Around the gif~ "It's a big mistake to think you're the only one who can turn into a car" - Shiori Takatsuki |
| Very good OVA. It started rather lightly, but later became really dark, then to end in quite sad (to be honest) way. |
| This was an excellent OVA! I can definitely feel the despair of their situation and it gives me chills all over. The Lord of the house didn't want to let Judeau know that he royally screwed up with the transmutation by bringing in a monstrous version of Rosalie into the world because he was a genuinely good guy who served their family for a very long time and even offered up his eyes to the Truth in hopes of having it work. I can only imagine the despair he would go through if he ever realized what he'd done but I don't think that deceiving him from the truth for the rest of his life was the correct solution as well. The truth will hurt immensely but the eternal lie in that household doesn't make me any more happy about it. There's nothing the Elric Brothers can do about the situation and they're not even sure if Rosalie's soul is actually suffering in that grotesque husk like their mother did made it even worse. What a downer... |
 |
| I never thought that this OVA would scare me, I didn't expect any creepy things from this episode. |
| holy shit what the fuuuuuck |
 |
| Creepy and weird but a good episode. |
| I have a third testicle that gives me psychic powers |
| creepy and fucked up |
| High quality episode as expected from fma 5/5 The back story was pretty strong could be related to Alphonse brothers by a high scale, Judou for being a character of less than 15 min screen time one of the characters I never forget. |
| In the end of the episode (subbed version) it said, "but no one could be saved" What did they mean by that? |
 FEELINGS THAT TRANSCEND TIME AND A RESOLVE THAT CROSSES WORLDLINES THERE IS NO BOND STRONGER THAN THAT... |
| Creepy, the anime taught me human transmutation always fails but I didn't expect they keep Rosalie body there. Its more creepy how they manipulated an orphan girl, I feel bad for her. |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 |
| damn, that was creepy D: why did they even keep rosalies corpse? did i miss something or was that just for the spook factor? alphonse may think they're good people, but i disagree. their butler has to live with this lie because of them. they're even forcing amy to live with this false identity and that's the only reason they keep her around. |
| This ova episode is pretty decent.The girl was creepy though that skeleton girl can move his mouth it is terrifying.The duration of this episode is 16 minutes (No opening and Ending.) |
 |
| good ova overall. enjoyed it. their family matters were quite complicated. i'm happy that they are doing all that so judou doesn't feel as if him sacrificing his eyes was in vain. |
 |
| Well, that was dark. Something about the "we don't even know if it's actually Rosalie in this body" is creepy...because that's entirely possible. |
 |
| Also am I the only one who thought that Judou was the lady's husband and lost his memories? |
