Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 5 Reaction

Can't find the full version of this reaction. Is it gone?

“It’s not gonna get worse than this” Honey…. You got a big storm coming

This show has so many good characters. I am glad you are enjoying it so much! It's truly one of the best anime to me. This show can make you go from crying to laughing to crying again in a matter of seconds. A real roller coaster of emotions and I love it!

OHH. I also thought it was strange that Scar was hunting down Ed even though he wasn't part of the genocide of Ishval, i just realized he's hunting "STATE alchemists" specifically so they can't be used as tools of genocide anymore. I'm slow.

The whole world setting has overtures at the edge of WWI, a big influence on the show

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but the Ishvalan's (shown in the war flashback) were not religious extremists. Roy just noted their beliefs because it was something they would not give up even after being annexed by Amestris (the country under Bradley and where everything is taking place thus far). Then the thing with the child getting shot happened and that's when they revolted and then it was shown that the red of Ishval was spreading. I think you may have confused that visual as meaning they were spreading the religion but that was simply to show that the revolution against Amestris was spreading. That is when the order to exterminate Ishval and all Ishavalan people came down. So it was never a matter of them trying to spread religion but rather them trying to maintain their beliefs after getting annexed and then the revolution spreading. Also Leto, the god the priest from episode 3 evoked is not the same god Ishvalan's believe in

Love this show and your reactions! Such a wonderful bond between Ed and Al. Al has the cutest voice and such care for his brother.

Can't believe it took me this long to become a Patron as I've spent the last few months watching your reactions. Seeing you've started FMA:B pushed me to finally make the plunge. So happy to support and I look forward to every one of your reactions!

An episode that shows you that the dub is the right choice!

Can I just say this real quick we gotta thank and appreciate mama Edward for creating these two boys and for raising them to be such great kids.

I am SO ready for this reaction series! FMA is one of the best stories I've ever read/watched. You already know this, but you're in for a treat. <3

One cool thing to me about you guys watching the dub of this, is that a lot of the voice actors are also in the dubs for AoT and a lot of other anime I've watched. So even though you didn't react to AoT and others in dub, i still feel like Im getting a reaction to some of my favourite VAs performances.

this is one of my fav episodes just for how it captures the core of the show. that even after a series of traumatic events the brothers are able to find resolve and hope again through each other and the people around them

I just now noticed that when Armstrong is talking about the philosophy of alchemy, where you have to destroy and then recreate, he's also making an analogy to building muscle, as you need to "destroy" the current fibers so they can be recreated stronger

I cry at so many moments in every rewatch of this show

So glad to be back on the 9€ tier. I just binged the reactions to the 4 first episodes. It's weird as hell seeing it in English ngl, but Alphonse voice is cute as fuck here too, so that's great. Did you know that Hange's VA frot aot voices Ed in the Original? And if i'm not mistaken Ryuk's VA voices a future character too. PS: i'm watching the intro and to clarify something, when that person said "god, i'm sending two souls to you" he meant nina and alexander's, not the father PSS: my bad, i've been looking and apparently i was wrong, Ryuk's VA doesn't voice any character here.
