Oh god that was horribad, I thought this series filler was good? This episode would have been awful even if 03 was the only version of FMA to exist
Let's see another TV block with a fanbase like this.... Or, you know, a fanbase at all.

Just about every single TOONAMI intro/promo (missing some specials/crappy shows)
For the InuYasha nuts, goto 28:37. About 6 years ago that promo started to air... you'd probably have to go 15 more eps. into the series before you saw it back then. The production values...

There's an Eva clip in that Toonami promo compliation vid that looked way too clean back when they briefly aired it. Almost looked like 1.11 footage

I don't understand why 03 introduced Scar and all the various plot points in central, then dropped them all for filler escapades. It's especially strange that Scar has apparently done nothing in 3 years since then.
I'm tempted to make the next Toonami OT and just make the entire thing about InuYasha.

Now I need to go back and watch old Tenchi and Outlaw again.
When FMA 03 began airing, King bradley was fucking up shit at Devil's Nest.
When it ended, we were at Mustang vs. Lust.
That's why they barely follow the manga.

i looked up some of the other stuff the writer behind FMA 03 is responsible for before working on the show. maybe don't Google any of these with other people around.
Angel Cop
Genocyber
Urotsukidoji
Violence Jack

I almost confused Lust with Envy and said "wut"
I keep saying this to people who say the early part of the old FMA series is sooooooo much better than Brotherhood's. The first 15 episodes or so of the 03 FMA series are filler city, and that's BEFORE the series deviates from the manga completely.

It truly is a completely different series that just happens to have some similar story beats.
Except the story bits are done on a completely different time scale that makes no sense.
As mentioned already, they move the Nina stuff to when Ed is preparing for the state alchemist exam...
Problem is, that's 3 years prior to Lior. In other words, Scar's mingling around for years. LOL
The whole depiction of time is pretty messed up. Until the 8th Lab, the series is constantly jumping around from past to present to past again. It was very hard to keep track of the ordering of events as they're depicted, from what I recall.
And don't even get me started on what they did to Hohenheim and Roy.

Yea but they had that amazing comedy episode focusing on Roy's team. That's always fun.

Slight dip for Inuyasha and the GitS ratings hurt my soul but overall it wasn't a bad night, especially considering there was a UFC match

So pretty bleh ratings beyond Clone Wars (although Inuyasha hitting 600k was nice)

Inuyasha has been in the 650-750K range so there was a regression.
Everything else was fine, nothing too out of the ordinary considering it was a UFC night

Pretty average ratings this week. Wish One Piece would do a little better, but eh. That FLCL dip makes me sad. What's wrong with you, America?
Eh, not too bad this week. Ouch, though, for GITS and IGPX.

So the second OP of FMA 03 is pretty blah, probably the worst of the FMA/B OPs I've seen thus far
BassForever

That's my favorite one from FMA
You really liked this one the best http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSky6F1JwUs ?
The song is way worse then the first OPs song, the visuals as a whole are worse (though a few shots like the Homonculi were good), and all in all it just doesn't get me pumped. I'll probably end up skipping it though this next batch of episodes.
Also I just saw an ad for Akira on GAF, it's like it knows

Of the OPs I'd seen I'd go
FMA 03 1 > FMA Brotherhood 4 > FMA Brotherhood 5 > FMA Brotherhood 1 > FMA 03 2
FMA 03 1 > FMA Brotherhood 4 > FMA Brotherhood 5 > FMA Brotherhood 1 > FMA 03 2
And see, I don't care for Rewrite much. Music is weird. Everybody likes what they like.

Rewrite>Undo>Melissa>RSG, though they're all better than anything in Brotherhood.

Chemistry may be better then Melissa as a song, but I like the visuals for Melissa's OP then Chemistry's, both are fantastic though.
