Aside from the twists, it was alright. Better than Shamballa.

welp

Well he did, just off screen

I'm not as tired as I'd usually be, but I have to get up early cause I'm helping my grand mother with some chores so I'll be signing off now goodnight.

 

[Raxus]

Despite the very stupid twists it is still miles ahead of Shamballa.

Will talk about it more this tomorrow. Sleeping now.

 

[zedreamcast]

He had a small cameo appearance and that was it.

Ah I mustve missed it.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Finally some good Alchemist stuff. Give it to me now.

 

[B-Dubs]

He had a small cameo appearance and that was it.

His design wasn't passed down through enough generations though.

For the record, I actually like Milos. It's by far the best original content Bones has made. It just frustrates me to no end how Bones kept forgetting factoids about the series they had just spent 2 years working on. That and the main girl being a red head for some reason.

Top notch animation though and the Bones-esque plot twists weren't that bad.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Close, winry. Super close.

 

[Man God]

Mr. Ho.

 

[zedreamcast]

Didnt the last episode leave with a cliffhanger?

 

[Takashi]

I always wondered why no one thought it was odd that the Elric brothers were the only people that had golden eyes.

I'm into red heads >.>

 

[Schadenfreude]

Scar is just so unimpressed by all of this.

 

[Grexeno]

Ahahaha, totally fake Alphonse.

 

[zedreamcast]

Also are those guys with May and Winrey the chimeras?

[Schadenfreude]

I would love you forever, TOM.

Two of them anyway.

Only two more episodes of FMA.

Two comments about this episode:

1.) There is a fair amount of criticism about Al's fainting spells not leading to anything significant in the series. I sort of get what people mean, Al never actually finds himself to be in legitimate jeopardy, but, his experiences allow him to come up with his finale idea on how to give Ed a second arm. So, it's not totally pointless and unused I figure.

2.) Ed's BECOME THE STONE moment feels like a copout, even though using life-force for alchemy is an established thing in a sense. We really should have seen some aftermath effect of Ed's actions though.

Better than the Space Dandy, Cowboy Bebop movie, Rahxephon, Eureka Seven, Sword of the Stranger, etc.? BONES has done a LOT of original content (which I assume you mean not adapted directly from another medium)

Is the "become the stone" thing today? I fucking love that moment. Most badass thing I've ever seen ever.

That moment foreshadows his fight with Pride later in the series, without that moment he can't do what he does there.

I think so

 

[Schadenfreude]

Yay! Heinkel! He's my favorite chimera.

 

[Grexeno]

Too bad that shot from the Captain ruined his face forever.

Becomes the stone?

I don't consider works by Watanabe and Dai Sato as purely Bones works since they just wrote it instead of relying upon Bones' writing skills.

 

[Man God]

Swerve

 

[Schadenfreude]

I wonder what Philosopher's Stones taste like.

 

[lazybones18]

more blood

 

[Seda]

rip ed

Blood

 

[lazybones18]

It's the work of Julia's leg pulling Al back

 

[Schadenfreude]

Blood

Oh right. Eww.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Yay! It's this part. I love it.

 

[Takashi]

One of my favorite scenes

 

[Schadenfreude]

That kid is a breed apart.

 

[MetatronM]

Felt like a whole lot of brainwashing to me.

It's brainwashing for a Milosian girl to want to save a bunch of Milosians?

 

[Crocodile]

It's a shame Kimbalee's extra stone was found AFTER Ed had to transmute himself but I guess Ed would refuse to use it anyway.

I don't consider works by Watanabe and Dai Sato as purely Bones works since they just wrote it instead of relying upon Bones' writing skills.

I mean that knocks out Eureka Seven, Cowboy Bebop, Space Dandy and I think Wolf's Rain but there still a lot of original content left. Plus using freelance writers isn't really out of the norm for any studio right? I mean I'm neither agreeing nor disagreeing with you just surprised anyone considers Milos the peak of the writing skills of BONES internal team to make original content.

 

[Seda]

When I was originally watching this, I think I audibly gasped when Ed saw the bar impaled in him. I must've been really into this.

 

[grandjedi6]

This part of the FMA manga was pretty crazy. Ed was gone for months so it was so hype when he finally returned.

 

[Man God]

Mr. Ho next week?

 

[ckohler]

I'm out. See you guys tomorrow for sketches and reviews.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Edward Elric: Certified Badass. I love how quick to turn Heinkel and Darius are. Time for Ghost in the Shell.

Seeing as how those same Milosians treated her family as outsiders and shunned them and she only learned of their struggle later, yes.

I'm sure there's something they've done by themselves that's better. I just can't think of it readily and have a pretty low opinion of the "typical" Bones original writing attempts.

Back for 2nd Gig. Major Kusanagi is incredible math.

Google Glass has come a long way.

Last week was the Togusa trial episode right?
