Indeed wrath was the hardest to kill after father........But come on as i have already said father was so strong that he could even beat chuck norris!!!!Seriously i did not believe that an epic end like Code Geass or Gurren Lagann would suit brotherhood the best......Although some cliches could not be avoided.

omg i can't believe its over. it definitely rates as one of the most entertaining, engaging shows i've watched.

The ending had nice/funny/cute moments but the conclusion was extremely disappointing in that it really fails to provide adequate closure on many of the issues the story raises.

Overall impression of the show
I really liked this show until the ending. I thought it was much better than the first series, which I also had a high opinion off. But they last 10 or so episodes were rushed, the plot becomes unrealistic and they conclusion was terrible. The ending was worse than the first series (which also had a dodgy ending). It's a better than most seinen shows but still so far from greatness imo.
Overall, I'd give it a 8/10. (I feel i'm being very generous)

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Movie Green-Lit

The 64th and final episode of the Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood television anime series ended in Japan on Sunday with an announcement that production on a theatrical version has been green-lit. The 64th television episode matched the ending from Hiromu Arakawa's original manga, and Anime Expo is hosting the episode's American premiere on Sunday at 11:00 a.m.

Summary or new stuff? I hope we'll get to go on Ed and Al's journey.

for me the biggest issue was mustang using philosopher stone WTF - seriously ED didn't use to get his life back. I think it's rediculous to argue that mustang eyesight was so important for the Ishbalan's and Havoc didn't need to get his legs back. To make things worse Lin becomes emperor with the aid of the philosopher's stone. That just makes the whole series' message pointless. I absolutely can't believe they did that.

wait wait, did Ed confess at last ?

damn it took him a lot of time to say that, and Winry's response was WTF ?? l loved how she responded.

also, l guess Pinako is also gone, or at least retired, Winry was a bit down when Ed came back so maybe Pinako died of age ?

it's possible right ?

l sure love this ending a lot better than the original series ended, a happy Winry is a happy ending :]

l'm gonan schedule re-watching the show around 17/18/19 th september, gonna divide it to 3 watches, 22 eps a day, and the last day 20 ;]

finaly but not the end, congrats Ed, for a short time you were taller than Al ;]

l wouldn't mind a short OVA series about Al's journey to Xing, it could be pretty cool too, l'm wondering how big May became after the 2 years ;]

There's a picture in the end where you can see Mai. Not sure how many years have passed there. Maybe 2-3...

true dat
if by the end of the show (and episode) Ed is around 16 years old, Al is 15 years old and May around 13, in the picture l posted earlier it seems May is a bit older, maybe around 15-16 yo, Winry was the same age as Ed but only a few months older, it was pretty funny but in the original, Ed won a fight against Al only once, they fought over who will marry Winry, they were around 6-7 years old at the time, it was pretty damn funny if you ask me, Ed must've put up one hell of a fight ;]

Whether or not his eyesight was important for Ishbalan's doesn't stop it being important to him- if you became blind wouldn't you want your vision back? Just coz Ed didnt want to use it doesn't mean Mustang can't- and don't forget when Hohenheim had the stones within him he got to know each of the people in his body- maybe Mustang thought process was to become one with Ishbalans so they could help him rebuild their civilisation? That's what I believe anyway also since he said "They may get angry at me" indicates that possibly he plans on communicating wirth them.

Overall it was a satisfying ending which is a rarity in anime nowadays i feel- but honestly I may be in the minority here but I MUCH prefered the 1st series to this one. It could just be that I took a long break from this one halfway and was losing the plot alot. Most of the humour did nothing for me and felt out of place at times. But Wrath was so damn kool in this one with his swordmanship - much better than his Pride counterpart in the 1st series.

I think there is one more movie in the franchise. I hope they take their time making however. I like it when good script writers can work on a project.

A good leader need to read. I do not remember Braille having been invented in this universe. Either he reads for himself, or several people go hoarse reading to him.

Faerwon · « **Reply #719 on:** July 07, 2010, 03:22:34 AM »

I thought the "They may get angry at me" bit was referring to the Elric brothers finding out Mustang had used a philosopher's stone. He wasn't inserting them into his body, but having Marco use them as "fuel" for the transmutation.

I do understand that those souls are still human and every one is precious, but with no bodies to return to, I would see using them as a good thing because they get released from that eternal torment. Didn't one of Envy's souls thank Ed when he did human transmutation to get out of Gluttony?
The series never really explores the religious side of things. Do people believe in a heaven and a hell? Do used souls disappear forever instead of going to heaven?
