Sloth being the fastest homunculus is a display of WHY we consider sloth to be a sin; he has all this potential but is too lazy to use it. He's also too lazy to even question why he's doing something he doesn't want to do and just blindly follows orders, making the world a worse place in the process.

I didn't realize until now, but Lola is wearing an Attack on Titan sweater. Awesome.

Ima save my recommendation for a new anime when yall are actually real close to finishing FMAB LOL. But this ep was fucking crazy! You guys should also really pay attention to the significance of how all the homunculus that died so far in the series (Lust, Gluttony, 1st Greed)! They went out all in interesting and ironic ways way back in the show if you really go back and think about their death scenes! Just goes to show the amazing writing in FMAB!

Fire seems to be the best weapon against homunculi. Even father returned the first greed to him by submerging him in lava.

I love this episode, because Kimblee's philosophy is really laid bare. Like before you'd get pieces of it, and it was easy to just write him off as a psychopath. But in this episode, you see that he listens and at least attempts to understand the brothers, and even offers a counterpoint, right before going back to insane fighting.

Vinland Saga would be a great anime to watch next, depending on how many episodes a week you watch you should catch up before second season comes out, which is going to be amazing. I'm not so worried about it being different from what you've watched because a good story is going to hook you regardless of the genre or style as you've learned from watching cartoons and animes, not just live action

I meant for this to be a list, but clicking between the first two 'hypes' and trying to hit enter failed. So that's here

Honestly think rating the best moments that made you both cry would be a great video to watch hahaha. As it's not as if you'd be at a loss of instances to choose from

Sloth being fast isn't actually an irony. Sloth means reluctance to work or make an effort not necessarily lacking the ability to make something happen. Just laziness.

Vinland Saga is different from what they’ve seen. So I’m not sure if they would enjoy it. But it is a great anime that’ll have a season 2 soon

Monster has our main boy, best boy. Code Geass they would fall in love with Lelouch. His struggles and love for his family and friends are top tier

Robert Dirk H. · September 26, 2022

For me, Code Geass is the child of Attack on Titan and Death Note, and has the good and bad of both. Especially that so many female characters are portrayed like Misa Amane is a big minus point of the anime for me (even if they are much better developed character-wise). Also: themes and plot are very similar to the two anime. This could take a lot of depth out of the story, since Death Note and Attack on Titan are still very fresh. Code Geass is therefore something they should start in two years if they still have interest in the story then. Monster would be great! But since I also started a rewatch the other day: Violet Evergarden offers so much potential for discussion. I'd love to see a reaction from them on this anime. I'm just wondering if they might like the anime. There's just a lot of discussion about love, but not perse in the romantic sense. A father's love for his daughter, a mother's love for her child, ... would be examples that come to mind, and how our main character learns what those emotions mean. But I also kind of want them to watch Spy x Family. It's so good... I can see the next war breaking out if they do a poll. 😂

Yeah, I remember how bittersweet it feels to finish Fullmetal Alchemist. Unlike other series that continually get milked with new content, FMA kinda just ends. There's a new mobile game and live action movies now, but when I first watched FMAB, there was nothing. Technically, there's a movie, but I didn't hear good things about it. There's also an audio drama called "Meteor Plan" which serves as a prequel for Ling, but I can't find an English translation of it.

sand_fl · September 25, 2022

i know jujutsu kaisen is not right up your alley, but god, i'm so hyped up by s2 and knowing for certain which arcs are going to be animated for that season that i wish you reacted to it. but yeah, i agree, fmab yet as not the best choice for my first anime because i've yet to find an anime this good. hope you had a nice time at the wedding.

Merfhew · September 25, 2022

At one point, I was vehemently on the "no Jujutsu Kaisen, no Demon Slayer, let's avoid generic action shonen series on this channel" train, but after watching the JJK0 movie, I have to admit... I wouldn't be upset if they reacted to Jujutsu Kaisen. Would it be their favorite show? No. Are there better shows out there? Probably. Would they enjoy it? I think so, yes. While it's not my #1 recommendation, I'm not opposed to it anymore.

Time for a drinking game. Take 1 shot for every mention of HxH in the comments (this one counts).

k
killezio3 killezio3 · September 25, 2022

It’s not downhill if you watch HxH. Those boys are the best

gouj · September 25, 2022

Ima be real, Full Metal Alchemist is prob one of the most fulfilling animes out there. I also have a feeling Hxh won't be their type of anime tbh

R
Raziel_BBT · September 25, 2022

you should just do a marathon and post all episodes at once

N
Nour Ariqat · September 25, 2022

and upload at once. I second this

bondbond53 · September 25, 2022

Yeah about the description girls you'll be happy to know that HxH is just as good if not better so you're good

Washington Redskins GFY · September 25, 2022

Don’t get discouraged, even though you’ll finish this masterpiece soon, there are many more gems to be discovered

M
Merfhew · September 25, 2022

That's a great outlook to have. :) I just wish there were more hours in the day to watch said gems (without having to sacrifice other stuff).

cosmotron · September 25, 2022

Your description is so true. IDK if you've seen beyond this episode yet, but my excitement for the next one increases with each that you watch lol.
