You know, if sacrifices are integral to the evil plot, and human transmutation is the only way to make a sacrifice, why did Father make human transmutation forbidden?
 
Because manga.

well, i know they're like "ha ha, funny", but is there actually supposed to be a joke beyond "haha he's not really entirely metal"? i feel like i'm missing the meaning/symbolism here

The arm and leg, it also doesn't translate into English well. It's supposed to be a comment on his personality or something.

what, about him being stubborn or determined or something?

Forbidden fruit. Plus he only needs 5 sacrifices, and he needs them at a very specific time. Best to limit the uses of the otherwise dangerous human transmutation.

Pretty sure it wasn't Father who did that.

He is in charge so yea it was him. It was probably so no one would figure out how to makes stones or an army of undead soldiers. Father did a lot of stuff he didn't want anyone else to do...

Something like that, like I said it doesn't translate well.
 
so is the splitscreen all they could come up with to differentiate this from the original, or is it a stylistic choice throughout the whole series? i don't remember it last week

But isn't the Truth punish people who try and do human transmutations? It's not like Father is really doing anything to stop people from trying. So it's not really Father forbidding it.

Well they talk about it later in the series and Human Transmutation is illegal, not really because of how dangerous it is, but because the government doesn't want people making their own private un-killable armies (like they did). Most people don't know about Truth, you have to remember that. Only those who have encountered it or know someone who did know.

Like the awful chibi/joke parts, it's dropped later on.

Oh yeah. Forgot about the army thing.

It's just this episode. Remember this storyline took two episodes in the first anime. They're in major hurry up to fit it in one here. That reveal of Ed's arm and leg right there is how the first episode of the first anime ended.
