THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Pre-episode shows more of izumi conversation. I guess the "you are no longer my students" part and then goes to the train-station talk part.

LOL@"IT WAS....LIKE THIS" part.

They replaced the "chimera chase" with him overhearing stuff instead.

OMG CHESS SCENE!!!!!

And of course "you should marry my granddaughter" was cut out...

Yoki introduced finally!

They REALLY shortened Al chase....not happy...REALLY not happy. REALLY REALLY NOT HAPPY...We lost an entire CROWNING MOMENT OF AWESOME because of that...

At least they were faithful with Greed-talk.

They skipped Elric going for exam too..................................


So they SWITCHED AROUND TIME OF IZUMI FIGHT?


Episode: 2/5

EDCIT: NEW OP TRAILER WITH THE NEW CHARS FROM MANGA. FUCK YES.

Just rewatched the trailer. It is definitely him. ♥ As if I needed another reason to spazz over him.

We just need Kamiya Hiroshi and we've got all the meisters reunited. xD

This was a so-so episode for me...

Greed's new voice is okay. While I still think Suwabe Junichi is a better choice, this one suits him just as well. I'm also a little disappointed they cutout when Greed's underlings state why they are so loyal to him and Izumi appearing after Ed really annoyed me. Ed's fight with Greed would have ended around that point anyway so it seemed unnecessary. It would have been much better if they didn't switch it around. And what happened to the part where Bradly appears at the meat shop?! >_>

I generally don't compare anime to manga, but Greed is my favorite character in this entire series so these changes really bother me. At least a few of Greed's funny moments were added. I love the clapping scene xD

Very average episode. Animation and direction were both under that of previous episodes and I don't like this part of the manga/series, so...

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

If you have not read the manga (perhaps) or haven't watched the first series of FMA, you wouldn't know who that guy who wanted to catch Scar, was.

I was thinking the same. HOWEVER he is just a minor side-character and not relevant to the main plot. (Correct me if i'm wrong).
I just love the pacing and you can see bones also wants to get to the new material!

I laughed when Greed asked Loa what he was.
I always joked around, saying he was transmuted with a demon because his transformation was so odd. xD

I actually enjoyed this episode (others don't seem to enjoy this one) and thought the added humor was nice. Once Ed goes into rage mode... XD... he becomes unstoppable and gives everyone a big WTF!?!? Anyway great episode but one of the worse for the season 7/10 episode.

I liked this episode.

Loved it when Al 'acted' like a kid and then started to kick ass. Greed was great as well. Hope (and assume) that he lasts a bit longer this time around ^^

It was an OK episode for me. It jumped around a bit around the beginning and I even found it a little boring, but by the end, it seemed to pull itself back together again for a really solid fight scene between Ed and Greed.

Definitely LOL'd at Izumi walking into the fight with the bathroom slippers still on XD She is made of awesome, both in this episode and the last.

The beginning was good, but then Ed charged in and pretty much ruined it for me. I thought that this was one of the better directed episodes thus far, but also one of the more sporadically paced ones. Don't know much else to say.

Decent episode but nothing more. Funny at times but some attempts at humor fail; Ed raging.

The fight was pretty good.

The whole Ed rage thing was blown way out of proportion in this episode. But Izumi is instant win, so for me, the episode ended on a positive note. :D

Easily my favorite episode of the season. So far they have been throwing shit at me with details being re-arranged in ways that I just didn't agree with. They had their moments now and then, but this episode has convinced me there is still hope. I can't wait till the next episode. This is where in the manga things got really intense, and the first anime series kinda fucked up on.

Not quite. While they cut out the coal mine town scene, they still mentioned him, and had his picture on the folder. They also mentioned how the Elric brothers had exposed his actions, and that he is on the run. So as long as the viewer isn't a complete retard, they should be able to figure out who he is.

Pacing was kind of quirky this episode, but I still enjoyed it. I actually kind of preferred Ed and Izumi's arrival times switched around. I don't know why exactly.

This episode was weird for me...Like Ed wasn't at his evaluation, the scene where they chased Al was gone, and Izumi kinda came in a little late; in the manga the military was supposed to burst through the door at that point...The episode was still good.

The animation during the fight scene was flawless especially when watching it in HD :) The episode was greatly set out, judging by what the guy said, even though I do not know what those scenes are I wish that they did not skip it. Good episode nonetheless.

Glad that stuff seems to be diverging from the old anime version now. I've been curious as to when stuff was going to start changinig here and there.
