Fun Fact: Ed mentions that a lot of Alchemists encode their research to protect it. Ed disguises his research as a travel journal of all the places he’s been to. Meanwhile Mustang disguises his research as a list of all the women he’s dated, part of the reason he has a reputation as a womanizer.
Real quick, Ed doesn't use a tattoo to transmute. That "symbol" you are thinking of associated with Ed and Al, which Ed wears on his coat and Alphonse on his armor, is the Flamel symbol (in reference to Nicholas Flamel the real world french Alchemist), and in the context of FMA it is the symbol of their teacher's alchemical style (basically it is them representing who taught them alchemy). Edward does not have this symbol, nor any other symbol, tattood on his body. Edward does not need a circle or tattoo to transmute, he can in a sense create his own circle simply by clapping his hands together. This allows him to create any kind of specific alchemic circle he can think of and use it at any time so long as he can clap his hands together (this is why Scar specifically destroyed Ed's automail arm in order to stop him from transmuting). Ed is capable of doing this because he saw the Truth, who beamed this information into his head when he crossed the gate. Other alchemists, such as Isaac the freezer from episode 1, had a tattoo'd alchemy circle on his hand to allow him to transmute with just that hand. The symbols by themselves are not enough to transmute, a tattoo has to be an alchemic circle in order to be used to transmute.
“Lust and Greed creating jobs” IM DEAD HELP… I mean I guess you’re not wrong. I’m loving these reactions!! Your energy and dynamic is really great, and I love hearing all your thoughts! Rewatching this with you I’m also continually impressed at how well the plot threads the needle between comedy and drama, it’s so SILLY sometimes but so tense and poignant too. Looking forward to next episode, take care!!
Fun fact: Ed mentioned all Alchemist encode their research. It isn't stated in the show but Ed and Roy do this too. Ed's is disguised as a travel log book and Roy's is a written like a date book with names of various women, making Roy look like a playboy 😂
4:15 Central is, unsurprisingly, in the center of the country. East city is roughly in the center of the Eastern sector of the country. Not a suburb of central. The show doesn't do a great job showing this, though, as Roy is bouncing back and forth between the two cities a fair amount, with no real distinguishing landmarks.
I've loved your reactions! Fmab is one of my favorite things, so I've watched a lot of reactions to it, and yours is one of the best. I love that you discuss before and after, and take time to contemplate while watching. I can't see how you guys enjoy the rest of the show
I've watched so many reactions to FMAB, and I'm so happy to have found yours. Kim has the same feelings I do about the boys, they're pure, they're steadfast, and they're such fucking amazing characters! can't wait to go on the journey with you both. Buckle up Kim!
Discovered this channel back when the first FMAB reaction came out (and have since checked out some of your other reactions) and I gotta say, y'all are fantastic. Think I found my favorite reaction channel 😂
I love how your mind works and how adorable you look when you try and figure out what is meant by sacrifices. I promise you that the answer is nothing like you have ever thought about before. I don’t want to spoil it because I love your cute and adorable reactions to the story. Keep it up and I look forward to the next one (I wish it was already out 😂)
East City *is not* a part of Central City. It is its own city in the East. This’ll become clearer later as the geography of the country gets explored more.
Found your channel very recently and have been watching all your Fmab videos. Yall are a cute af couple and I love watching your reactions to my favorite show of all time. I've seen this show so many times but it's still so special in my heart to this day.
you guys are so fun to watch, your banter is hilarious and I love Kim’s theories! my fav reaction channel watching this show at the moment, subscribing to check out the other reactions :)
Oh man, I don't know if I can wait a full week for one episode. Not with 64 episodes of pure juiciness.😅 Although I don't know if I would recommend watching more than a couple episodes in a single sitting.

There is also the theory that Al's research is disguised as the list of things he wants to eat.
@TBoring IKR! that's what amazes me about both versions of this show, plus we learn all kinds of stuff they don't teach you in school

The great thing about FMAB, when they rise a question, your question will be answered. (very soon, unless it affects a whole story)

this episode still gives me chills when Ed & Al find out how the Philosopher's Stone is created
