FMA will be missed like nothing else ;_;

I hope they don't ruin it with a movie like they did with Mizushima's one. Anyways, this one is 100 times better than FMA (2003). Truth is Told.

The ending was just perfect. I love that ed and winry ended up together, their kids are so cute

I'm really sad it's over. I looked forward to watching the new episode every Sunday

This show gets an easy 10/10 from me. I doubt any other shonen I watch could ever be as great as this.

I can't believe it is over. It has been one great ride, through the ups and downs. Like some one else posted earlier, I was torn between laughing and crying. I thought they tied everything up and we got a happy ending. The babies were so cute.

*sigh* I guess I can wait awhile and re-watch....This will be one of my favourite animes.

I really felt my closure on everyone with this ending, but honestly Mustang's mustache....D: why?! XD Other than that little thing haha, I feel satisfied. 10/10 right here. Good-bye FMA! <3 I'll be looking forward to the movie! :D

I spent a few minutes laughing at Mustang's mustache. It's even more hilarious than Scar's hair.

Loved the episode, much more detail than the final chapter of the manga- fantastic!

Gonna miss this series!!

Excellent episode. A few modifications here and there that really did wonders to the wrap-up episode.
Mustang part was really done well, loved how they added Havoc in there.
Scar part was kinda off.
Ling part as flashback was ok.
Winry slowly coming out of the door was kinda pushing it a little but well it was ok.
Selim part was really cute and great.
Al meeting with the chimeras was fun but they left out their talk about their own research that they did.
And of course, confession/proposal part of Ed/Winry was the best part of the episode. Couldn't stop smiling at that part. Better than the manga.
"Hologram" playing at last part was great, that was my favorite OP song. I remember LanFan being at the left side of Ling's throne but oh well. The ending credits were excellent. For what the brothers went through, this ending was what they deserved.

It was painful to update this show and set it as completed. But a great show must come to an end. Although there were some inconsistencies in the pacing of the first episodes and the last parts and some events that were left, modified or cut out, it was minor that I forget about it sometimes. Overall, one of the most faithful adaptation and ending to one of the greatest mangas out there. Definitely deserves a 10/10.

I wonder what the movie is about. Condensing the whole series in 2-3 hours? Or maybe a side story of the forgotten Ishbal arc(I so wanted that "stray bullet" that they said there). Whatever it is, you can never have enough FMA so let's have it.

Lol at the 1/5 at the polls and 1/10 score given. Can you give the reason for those scores? I don't think this show deserves that but let's hear out your reason to be fair.

One hell of a ride. I'd give this a 9/10, but the pre-pubescent humor and the overall lighthearted atmosphere makes me unable to do so. All in all it was a great series, however, so it gets the strongest of 8s.

sorry for my English.
weeelll... that's it. the true end of FMA. I'll miss Edward so much...
and OMG Roy's moustache! xD hahaha!
okay, graphically it's not the best episode I've ever seen, but it was fine. I surprisingly didn't cry but it was really touching in the end.
Mei and Alphonse are so cute! xD
EdxWin were cute too, but I actually hate Winry (cause I'm jealous).
10/10 for the plot
5/10 for graphics
9/10 for the music
10/10 for characters.

Sadly this is the end of an anime that will forever be remembered in anime history, ty to all the hard working pple who dedicated their time into making this anime. Ive become biased as fuck when it comes to this anime so im obviously giving it a 10/10 but all things must come to an end FMA will forever have a place in my heart as well as many others. In the end the best part of the ending was that Ed manned the fuck up and confessed to Winry and years later they had kids?? TY Aniplex, Bones, Funimation, and SE for giving me the ending ive been wanting so much! xP

I feel like a part of my life has been completed. I was on the edge of my seat when Winry was seeing Ed off (i've not read the manga yet) and I was expecting a kiss but what he said and how he looked made everything okay, not to mention the picture they gave us of them with kids :))) everything feels right and complete and I'm so very happy.

Why did they give Mustang a mustache? And I'm glad they gave Havoc his legs back, which i complained that Arakawa didn't. Overall godd way to end it. Still they had to use Hologram again? They could have chosen Let It out.

Well, FMA is always amazing. Brotherhood did the plot nicely. I loved the manga a bit more, but imo this deserves 10/10 as well, it was just .... amazing. Especially the music ! Gosh, good job ! :D

Well, there's always that one thing that won't satisfy me ....

As I expected, no resolution to Ling and Lan Fan's so-called "relationship." I called it, I knew there was no romance between them, she was just his bodyguard, but sigh, fandom and shippers will choose what they want to see... speaking of them, what did they do with the Philosopher's Stone anyway? The old emperor obviously didn't become immortal, is Ling immortal again now? Or did they just get some Alkahestry expert to perform some flashy tricks with the Stone and used up its power?

Also, I'm willing to bet Lan Fan had no lines in this episode because Nana Mizuki is pretty busy promoting her eighth album "Impact Exciter" which comes out on Wednesday. WIN.

It is BS that Pride got to live and Greed didn't. OMG wat. Seriously?

Does this mean we can guess a AlxMei? Man, what a great show. I think only FMA:B and the future ending of One Piece could have such an effect on me. The entire episode I was hoping for another FMA show.

I pray to God there won't be one, so it can't destroy how awesome this one is. Conflicted feeling is difficult.

I can now die happy.

T_T Really, I knew how it would end since I read the manga, but...

... To quote C2, "manly tears were shed".

Anyway...

- Roy! Riza! The Roy-tachi! Dr. Knox! Dr. Marcoh! Quite a good scene.
- I now officially ship Scar x Olivier.
- I wanted to see Olivier's epic grin animated...
- ALPHONSE! YAY AL IN FLESH IS ANIMAT-... ...wut. Why does he look so... ... D: He looked much better in the manga.
- On the other hand, Ed looks much better in this episode~ I'm not the biggest fangirl ever, but I still love him a lot. Yeah, he's hot. (that rhymed!)
- Ling and Mei finally talk. XD
- ...Why didn't they include the scene where he carried her like she's a potato sack? It was funny :c
- lol dog looks retarded.
- "Next time we make you cry, it'll be tears of joy!" indeed. Waaah...
- Mega glomp! Lol, can I ship them...? You know, OT3...? *expects to be bricked*
- Elicia looks so much cuter now! :D ... Hughes... I still miss Hughes T__T
- Grumman!
- "Reborn" Selim remains adorable.
- Zerso and Zampano eat like pigs. ...Well, the one of them is a pig/human chimera. XD
- Okay, Al looks better now.
- FUCK YEAH. My inner EdWin fangirl just died. It's been 3 weeks, and it still dies whenever it sees that scene.
- Oh Hologram! I really liked that song. Aww, the pictures...
- Yeah, Scar is rockin' that ponytail.
- Are these kids related to Falman?
- o.o Moutsache...
- Just as I expected, one boy and one girl! EdWin and AlMei. 2-in-1. Yay.
- What the hell are Paninya and Garfiel doing there though?! It's the ELRIC FAMILY picture! What, so Garfiel moved in to hit on Ed and/or Al and Paninya came to take care of the kids or something? DX

Anyway. 5/5 episode, 10/10 series. All time favourite, no doubt. ~ <3

Do you think the movie will be a recap, a sequel or the war in Ishbal arc?
Whatever it is, I'll watch it.

... I'll miss coming to these forums after every episode :|

At the very least, Lanfan definitely had feelings for Ling. It was all but confirmed in her scene when she splits off with Hohenheim in th final arc.

As far as the old emperor and the philosopher's stone goes- he wanted to be immortal, there was no mention of him wanting to be -emperor- forever. There's a difference.

Once again a very good episode and a greatly satisfying ending for Brotherhood. It was a nice idea to put a whole episode on the aftermath of the climax, a lot more series should do that. Overall, FMA:B was probably one of the best "pure-bred" shonen ever, along with the first Dragon Ball series, Hunter x Hunter, Kekkaishi and a few others I don't recall at the moment. 9/10

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

What's with all the Edward x Winry worshiping? D:
I suppose I'm one of the few people who truly hates that couple. And I seldom use the word hate.
Which I why I growled, HARD, when I spotted the kids.

The rest of the episode was just... amazing. ♥
Though that mustache Roy decided on wasn't exactly attractive.

It's an all-time favorite, that's for sure.
10/10.
