Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 61 Reaction
Comments (30)
god these last few episodes in each one there are multiple beautiful and poignant moments. wraths death, scar about to save the nation that was the object of his own vengeance..the culmination of his character arc, hohenheim and sons teaming up together, and pride turning into a little child crying on ed's jacket. like wtf...honestly not many anime can stitch these moments together so beautifully into a grand story.
If Bradley never believed in God, does that mean he thought Father's plan was just nonsense?
yea that was an interesting quote from bradley...and u can see more of that when he says how hes always just followed the path that was laid for him regardless of what he personally feels.
06:26 It is the reason I love “Rain” the op5 beyond other op in the show, it is so much emotion here.
Real hope they rehydrate before 62
Pride only lost because he had weakened himself for Father. Damn, that boy is scary!
Im glad the FMAB author is making another battle shonen manga! Cant wait for her newly hit manga series to get greenlit by an anime studio for an anime adaptation. Its doing great numbers in the manga industry right now!
Oh I hadn’t heard of this! I’ll have to check it out. I loved her other series, Silver Spoon.
This is one of my fav eps in the whole show! This ep hit in so many different ways!
DROP THE LAST THREE TOGETHER. PLEASE!!!
Let we see how they fight the “God Father” next two episodes🤣🤣
Man, Sunday can't come soon enough.
everyone is talking about Bradley and Kimblee. So, I just want to say when Pride dies, he thinks of his supposed "parents" - a very HUMAN emotion.
Didn't think of Father at all.
Idk if anyone has said it yet but, an eclipse is historically seen as a sign from God. So when that light shines out again, glints off Bradley's sword and blinds him momentarily. The writer is poetically signaling God's intervention.
Y’all gotta watch Parasyte: The Maxim next.
This is the best you can come up with?
Well, not much speaking from you two during the episode. Which is understandable, because it's definitely one of the best episodes in the series :D Hohenheim calculating the position of the moon's shadow to use it as a enormously powerful transmutation circle is such a big brain move, because he essentially used the Father's "weapon" against him. Same goes for Scar's brother, who must've been a genius to figure out the nature of alchemy in Amestris. The voice acting in this episode was simply amazing, especially Ed Blaylock as Bradley. Same for the dialogues between him, Scar and Lan Fan - it was so powerful. I love both Bradley and Scar, they are such interesting, complex characters. Most homonculi have pretty basic personalities, but Bradley was always a delight to watch. Scar's redemption arc is done so well - I don't think it's as good as (SPOILERS FOR AVATAR:TLA) the one of a certain prince from the Fire Nation, but it takes a second place for me when it comes to animated series. Ed's signature move of changing himself into a single soul philosopher stone saved him yet again. Many people forget about that, but he is truly a very skilled alchemist, especially for his age. Both him and Al are prodigies, but while I get the notion that Al is a better fighter, Ed is (was) more skilled when it came to alchemy. And of course, Kimblee. I did not like him that much the first time I saw the show, but every time I rewatched it, I appreciated him more. He's a very evil person, but a very consistent one at the same time. He hates hypocrisy and is the first person to call out others for it. He is both a philosopher and a sadistic psychopath. You could always see that he somewhat tried to understand the brother's ideology, even discussing it with Al in the middle of a fight, and I think he has a lot of respect for them. I know I complained when Ed spared his life, but in this episode we see that it really payed off, because if it was not for Kimblee, Ed would probably be dead or worse. I will really miss your reactions when it's all over. Good we still have three episodes left.
Hiromu Arakawa is such a genius writer. When we got the flashback to the Ishvalan war, specifically the scene where King Bradley told the Ishvalan Emissaries that they were not going to accept surrender and that the military was going to continue their attack, Bradley mocked the Ishvalan priest for saying that he would feel God’s wrath, saying “if God truly cared I dare him to strike me down right here right now with furious divine intervention.” In this episode where he’s dueling Scar, who is the consequence of Bradley/Amesteris’ slaughter of the Ishvalan people, a beam of light from the sun caused by the eclipse blinds Bradley at a crucial moment which gives Scar the upper hand and deals the final blow to Bradley. I think that’s such a clever way to suggest that “god’s wrath in divine intervention” comes down on Bradley. What an interesting character
Sure, though he is calling out god just seconds before the light flash as well.
This is the episode that we get to see the results of all of those conversations that Kimblee had with the Elrics. The last time we heard him speak, he said that he doesn't understand their way of thinking, right before getting bitten through the windpipe. Now we see that after his "death" he's the one that might understand them the best. Kimblee was a psychopath, but people like him because he's a principled and straightforward psychopath.
The next episode breaks me.
well, guess I’m crying at work tonight 😭
I just love how Bradley tells the future wife of the ruler of Xing what it means to be the wife of a king.
Is it confirmed? From just that picture of Ling on the Throne with Lan Fan behind you could say she is still his bodyguard. Is there something else that I'm missing?
I don't have time to sit down and watch this until tomorrow but I'm so hyped.
omg, this is probably the episode i've been most exited to watch since you saw hohenheim for the first time i'll have to wait a couple hours to watch though 😭
Just in time for my dinner, I hope you both loved the end of the show. I'm really looking forward to seeing you guys react to it, and if you didn't, you definitely need to watch the blooper reel!
HERE WE GO
where are my TISSUES DAMN IT😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
