I hope they at least played with Nina before they left.

2023-06-16 04:34:51 +0000 UTCWhen I first saw this, I wondered if this was perhaps Roy Mustang's ploy, that he suspected that Shou Tucker hadn't told the full story and needed someone "on the inside" to get the details, not realizing the full extent of his crimes.

2023-05-17 17:55:32 +0000 UTCI think this may be a result of serialized storytelling becoming the norm. We used to have entire shows that had a vague central goal and then every episode is the characters having some kind of wacky adventure that may or may not relate in any way to that goal. For hundreds of episodes.

2023-05-16 20:41:36 +0000 UTCThese first few episodes are really them just rushing through all the stuff that was covered in the first adaptation. As a result, they are some of the weakest episodes in the show, and don't feel representative of the show as a whole. They make it feel much more episodic than it actually is. Things start to get much better in the next few episodes.

2023-05-16 15:02:49 +0000 UTCI like ep4 following ep 3 a lot because of how it tackled the religion vs science dichotomy. The previous episode dealt with the dangers of religious extremism and sectarian drifts and this episode dealt with the dangers of blind and inhumane pursuit of scientific progress

2023-05-16 03:44:42 +0000 UTCI wouldn't say it was a pity killing at the end, yes there is pity there but it was more of a mercy killing. There was no way for them to be returned to normal and the rest of their lives they would be subject to experimentation and a miserable life as a chimera with no comprehension of why all of this stuff is happening. It didn't seem Nina was aware of what had happened to her which makes it even worse. So rather than have them go though that he spares them the misery and says a prayer to welcome their souls into heaven. Not that that makes it too much better but it never struck me as pity as much as mercy.

2023-05-16 02:51:30 +0000 UTCThe first few episodes are much more episodic, but the connective tissue is that they're essentially chasing rumors looking for a philosopher's stone, which they hope to use to regain their bodies. I think they largely relied on the audience being mostly familiar with the premise, and they didn't want to redo a bunch of episodes that had been done before. Fortunately, the larger story picks up pretty quickly with Scar being introduced.

2023-05-16 01:48:11 +0000 UTCThe show absolutely matures as it progresses and, as you've mentioned, it's easy to forget that Ed and Al are 15 and 14, respectively, for the majority of the show.

2023-05-16 01:46:40 +0000 UTCI have every hope that we will see some full on tears later on in this series. This show has moments in it that never fail to make me cry.
Vincent G
2023-05-16 01:31:52 +0000 UTCIt’s a heartbreaking moment but I think it hits harder in the 2003 version. We see Nina a lot more in it before this happens

2023-05-15 23:46:02 +0000 UTCLOL Clarus being on the verge of breaking into tears while simultaneously laughing at Nerdy's realizations and reaction, while Nerdy himself is in shock at what is happening on screen, pretty much encapsulates episode 4. As most people usually comment, uhhh, welcome to Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood :D.

2023-05-15 23:41:48 +0000 UTCIn so far as I was waiting to skip to the discussion yes. Watching it once was traumatizing enough

2023-05-15 23:41:42 +0000 UTClooking at the episode number: "oh no no no"
Dario Schiller
2023-05-15 23:38:49 +0000 UTCIshval is very important to the story in Brotherhood. Also the og follows the manga for like 10ish episodes if I remember correctly. So Brotherhood is the most canonical version.

2023-05-15 23:17:36 +0000 UTCWe ALL were waiting for this episode.

2023-05-15 22:58:49 +0000 UTCAnd so the chimaera through line takes a sharp and considerable left turn.
