I realize I’m saying “Marock” and not “Marco”…. Please be kind.
😂
You're all good, we know who you meant. There are a craaaaaaaaaaap-ton of characters to keep straight, and you're doing better than I can, and I've seen this show many times.
You got a chuckle and a facepalm out of me for it, but that's about it. lol
FMAB has a LOT of characters so dont you worry, you will keep forgetting names 😅
👍🏽💗🤘🏽💫
Fun Fact: Ed mentions that alchemists encode their research. Ed disguises his as a travel journal of all the places he’s been to. Mustang on the other hand disguises his as a list of all the women he’s dated, which has given him a bit of a reputation as a womanizer.
There's also a pretty popular theory that Al's list of food he wants to eat when he gets his body back is his research
And for Armstrong it's his workout routine.
@@masansr Armstrongs alchemy is literally a workout routine. What's to encode?

@k1tdragon5 I read this in his voice
"Awww, Hughes is so nice!" There's a reason everyone loves Hughes.
"I eat people and I'm cute and those two things don't go together"
Yoshi and Kirby: 🤨
There are a lot of words that can be used to describe Gluttony. "Cute" isn't one I would choose as a first impression, and certainly not after seeing the story progress a bit further.
@@Slugbug To be fair, he does seem to have the mind of a child. He's not devious like most of the others of his kind.
@@Slugbug I'd say endearing.
16:02 "Today, a man died tragically in his home; after a pile of books fell on top of him. According to police, he had only his shelf to blame."
I read this in the voice of Colin Mochrie.
Ed knows that Winry and Grandma care for him. Don't take his dismissive attitude as him not caring for them or not knowing how much they care for him. Ed tends to not openly show his emotions because that is part of his personality.
Unsurprisingly so, given his dad dipped on him as a very young child and he wasn’t much older when his mum died. It’s easy to see how he got where he is emotionally.
Fun Fact: You mentioned the real life alchemist from Harry Potter, Nicolas Flamel, and the cross that you see on Ed's coat and Al's armor is called the Flamel Cross, named after him.
Arakawa did loads of research when she wrote this series, and she did one hell of a good job incorporating a lot of the real world elements of alchemy into something that's fantastical but still feels realistic and grounded.
One of the things I love about this show is that it doesn't focus on how strong or powerful characters are but rather their intelligence. The characters are constantly researching and examining notes, piecing clues together. Yeah, there's a physicality to the job, being able to fight is a must since it is a military position, but the character's intelligence is as important as their muscles, if not more. Brains win the day over brawn
On that, one thing I love about Arakawa is she knows how to write characters who are WELL above her intelligence level. Which is probably fairly high in itself, but the Elrics are freaking child prodigies; it’s not a diss to say she’s not as smart as them, and yet makes her intelligent characters actually feel well above her.
I’ve seen the after effects of writers who can’t write high-intelligence characters, especially villains, and have to dumb down other characters just in comparison. So I’m extra grateful for her now…
Sensei Is Broken STRONK
It makes sense you'd confuse Marcoh's name; he went by two names in the last episode, his real name Marcoh, and the fake name Moroh- your brain prolly mushed them together
Armstrong is a very emotional man in this show but seeing him angry is more scary than him crying like a baby
Facts. And it's because he's always so proper, so cool, calmed and collected. When you see him actually mad you know he's about to drop a house on someone.
@@hander929 literally
He’s also not overly-eccentric when the story would be jarred by it; he took Marcoh’s situation seriously and didn’t pull out the tears until after hearing the boys’ backstory.
Something to remember, Amestris, the country FMAB takes place in is a highly centralized militaristic country. The majority of government personal are either military or work on projects for the military. If you notice anyone wearing one of those blue uniforms they are either soldiers or work for the military in a support role. Those wearing the black version are the Military Police.
As for the State Alchemists they are also part of the military but in a more specialized role either working as researchers(ie. Dr Marco, Tucker) or combat specialists(ie. Armstrong, Mustang).
Their dress code is "flexible".
they have a military equivalent rank so they can get their state sanctioned work done but aren't part of the military unless they joined like armstrong, mustang and grand. that's why they get called their rank while ed and tucker get called their names.
**looks at Armstrong**
"Flexible" seems appropriate.
@@meewec2091 While they might not soldiers they still have to follow the military's orders it's just under most circumstances the ones that would be dedicated researchers are tasked with their research projects. For example Edward is effectively under Mustang's command however Mustang gives him a very long leash because he is aware of what the brothers are searching for. The primary reason they went to Liore was under Mustang's directive because of the rumors about Father Cornello.
"That's messed up. That is messed up." Yep.
Number 66 is one of my favorite characters in this entire show
As an avid D&D player and someone who worked in a library for a while I absolutely love this episode, wizards encoding their notes and spellbooks and the players having to crack them is just the perfect kind of nonsense i enjoy.
23:33 Al is such a good boy, nodding yes while saying no
“I’d spill all my secrets”
Ma’am, as someone who looks like Sig Curtis (you’ll meet him later, but he’s kind of a counterpart to Armstrong) can I just say I BLUSHED
I BOW AT YOUR FEET MY LORD! WE ARE NOT WORTHY! 😍🙌
This series is one of the new highlights of my week. I genuinely enjoy hearing all your theories and can't wait for the show to reveal all its secrets to you over time!
Every single opening song for this anime is a banger. I'm pretty sure you will love them all.
25:22
You're definitely not bad with names, it's actually very impressive how you remember them while watching a lot of shows at the same time! This types of mistakes can happen a lot
The ball is about to get to rolling, and I'm so excited to see how you react to it. I understand the audience wanting "MOOOOAR" because there's so much to unpack, but i appreciate that you're actually taking the time to review what you know up to this point, watch, and then just sit with what you saw afterwards, because there's a ton of depth to this show. You'd risk losing some of that if you just rushed through to appease your audience
I think you're the first person I know that didn't instantly write off the Elric's father as either a bad dad or straight up bad guy...
Reminder: Next episode has an After Credits Scene, then you get to wait till episode 28 I believe, I'll reconfirm at episode 20... unless you're like 6-10 episodes ahead of what we're seeing here on YT. IDK, have you been able to get a list or would you like the reminder around ep 20?
Edit: Armstrong upset/angry always reminds me of this quote, "There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man." -Patrick Rothfuss, The Wise Man's Fear
I used to work in tech repair and every time i put a computer together, I'd have at least a screw or two left over, so when i saw the leftover screw, my first thought was "ahhh that's redundant" 😂
Ah yes, get use to the cliffhangers 😂
I can imagine she saying "cliffhanger? oh no guess who is watching the next episode" in the entire last season 🤭🤣
22:28 😅 “It’s True! I’d spill all of my secrets,” she smiles …. 😳 me listening 😊 then blushing.
This episode is a really good showcase of why Ed and Al are bit different from the typical Shonen hero: While tehy are good at fighting and Alchemy, they are also ridiculusly studied. To do Lachemy, you actually have to understand what you are transforming on an anatomical level, which means these two have been slaving over books for _years_ to be this good. It's also why most Alchemists are specialised (Freezing with Water, Roy with Fire, Armstrong with Stone, same as Ed and Al) because trying to be super broad in your apprach means you ahve to study so much more.
Sheska is my spirit animal
i only wish i had as good of a memory as she does
Two things. Ed is actually cash loaded, he is basically working with a CIA slush fund. Armstrong is actually the same rank as Edward in the military, so technically he can’t order him to do anything just make professional suggestions, while technically Mustang can actually give Edward orders.
All State Alchemists get a research grant, which is how Shou Tucker was able to afford his manse (and he wonders why his research bore little results…) They get assessed each year, and two strokes in a row can see their license and everything that comes with it revoked.
Because Ed and Al are basically nomads, staying in hotels or just sleeping on trains, the only money they generally need to spend are the essentials; and Al doesn’t eat, so Ed only buys what is needed.
Well, he does need to pay Winry for repairs whenever his carelessness gets him busted up, but that’s barely a dent in the wallet.
I always thought Al couldn't be a State Alchemist because a physical exam was required which would give away the fact that they committed the taboo. Not that anyone in the military gives them trouble for it anyway, but still🤔
@@lightningg252 Well, yeah; the manga and first anime (which changed a lot around that plot pint, but I digress) did make that clearer...
Angie & FMAB-reactions fit together almost as well as Nina & Alexander do 🤣
😮
NOOOO
....too soon
They're always inseparable ^_^
Nah, Americans also call it the Philosopher’s Stone. I don’t know why someone decided we were too stupid to understand it was the Philosopher’s Stone from ancient alchemy, but apparently we just can’t process these things. smh
I've watched FMA:B countless times, and it's always so interesting going back to these early episodes and seeing how certain aspects of the story get set up. Also, everyone loves Armstrong; whether he's crying or angry, he's a passionate man.
I'm get so exited to watch your reactions to this show. Thanks for your effort in getting two out this week, spoiling us.❤
Its crazy that it feels like it's been longer. Maybe I miss this show more than I thought.
Gluttony is like Winnie the Pooh, but everything he sees is made of honey. *especially* people.
Something important to keep in mind with the "hidden eyes" trope is that, while it is used to convey that a character is hiding something, it does not necessarily mean that they are hiding that information with the intention of doing bad things. Sometimes it's just a bit of artistic flair to fit the line or the scene, or sometimes it could mean someone is thinking about something rather deeply.
Not to say don't be suspicious, definitely be suspicious of anyone and everyone! It makes things more interesting! But not everyone with eyes you can't see is antagonistic. FMA does a lot of really good work with its symbolisms and subtleties, and the way it plays with eyes with the symbolism is also incredible.
To be fair she never said Granny Pinako was herself untrustworthy, and more implied that she knows a lot of skeletons on some kind are in the dad’s proverbial closet… To a degree, she’s right too.
30:17 Al's armor is actually weaker than before the repair. Like Ed said, since Scar *destroyed* about a quarter of the mass of Al's body, he had to thin everything out to get enough material to restore Al's shape while retaining the new, lesser mass.
Why he can't add more iron to the transmutation to fix Al without thinning the original material or reducing his size instead isn't ever directly addressed, I don't believe.
You're actually remembering people's names much better than I did when I first started this series.
I hope you keep loving the show. It only gets better as it goes along.
Eyes in animation is very important and I appreciate that people pick up on tropes of it. Brotherhood play with themes of eyes very well too
Hughes is military intelligence and Mustangs BFF and the best dad!
Loved the reaction and good job on the quick uptake on what the prison was being used for. Slight correction - Neither Granny or Winry had anything to do with fixing Alphonse's armor. Ed mentioned that he only trusted himself to fix it to make sure the blood seal wasn't damaged. He used alchemy to spread the existing armor's material to make up for the destroyed parts.
The OP (Again by Yui) is indeed a banger and the lyrics go so well with the theme of the show. It's probably my favorite of the FMA:B OPs. Another great song is from the original FMA, called "Brothers" which Vic Mignogna (Ed's voice actor) does an awesome cover of.
Funny how she doesn't trust Bradley because he has an eye patch and not because his title is the FÜRER
No that helps me not trust him
Hey, love the channel, love your reactions!!
Small correction
It’s Win-ri
Not Winer-ri
Something I like about Fullmetal Alchemist is how these things are set up from the outset.
You know the opening narration that explains alchemy and the law of equivalent exchange.
"In accordance with this law there is a taboo among alchemists, human transmutation is strictly forbidden for what could equal the value of a human soul."
See a reasonable person hears that and thinks: "I surely should not try to create a human with alchemy because, if I can't sacrifice something worth an entire human soul then I'll suffer a pretty nasty rebound and maybe die."
But a sick psychopath thinks: "hmmm... I could get my hands on some human souls... wonder what I could get by sacrificing them..."
Always remember that the transmutation can be turned around the other way. Anything may be either the product or an ingredient.
you are the first one to call gluttony cute lol
In the film, The Fifth Element, the fifth element is Love. In pretty much every other occurance of four elements, the fifth element is Life. You've seen Avatar, you should know that. "Before the avatar and the four elements, we bent the energy within life itself". The idea that the Philosopher's Stone is made from human life is a shock, but makes perfect sense in the context of real world historical believes regarding alchemy.
I still get a huge knot in my stomach every time I hear that the main ingrediant to making a Philosopher's Stone is by sacrificing people, it just makes me sick to even think about it
To me this and the Ishvallan genocide make me more sad than the Nina incident
@@bastianflores5269 good point, the Ishvallen Genocide was hard to watch especially when Scar killed Winry's parents
@@rickymoranjr9609 hey, easy with they spoilers i don't know how much ahead she has watched
@@bastianflores5269 sorry, I just got carried away
It's the combination of "those bastards did what?" and the tragic irony of the brothers' finding the secret they were after but not being able to put that knowledge to use.
23:56 damn barbed wire steel cage match live is fucking sick, how much more awesome can you be
I was honestly confused way back when when "The Sorcerer's Stone" became a thing because, even though I was a teenager, I knew what the Philosopher's Stone was, thanks in part to my dad having a board game about making one.
Man Hughes is such a bro, love him so much
The first cosplay my kiddo did was Scheska before they went full on Ed and dragged me into cosplaying Meas. We still do a Daddy Kiddo cosplay as Ed and Maes even after they are now in college.
Speaking of English translation of the songs. Check out Amalee's CZcams channel. She does one of the best English translated. Whenever I get that Full Metal Alchemist thirst, I listen to her.
hi, long time lover of all things fullmetal alchemist. ive watched this show so many times over that i couldnt even count it. YOU are an incredibly smart human being. i have NEVER put 2 and 2 together to create 4 like you did when you pointed tout the whole 5th element 5th laboratory thing. CRAZY connection that i never even thought of.
Yeah, Gluttony is like a terrifying Winnie the Pooh who eats people😅. If you think about it Gluttony is the most primal vice we experience given its link to hunger, probably the first we ever feel as toddlers/infants. Which could explain why Gluttony has a more childlike mentality.
Welcome to cliffhanger, the anime lol
It's nice to know that someone out there has the hots for Armstrong 😊
Those frames look so good on you!
Real glad to see how invested you are in this show. I wonder if there are any other anime you're looking into reacting to later on.
When I got to this episode on my first watch I was like, "The boys need the Philosopher's stone to get their bodies back. They now know how to make the stone and it's only episode 7. WTF is the rest of the show gonna be about?!"
Also, I kept chuckling to myself everytime you referred to Marcoh as 'the doctor.' 😂
I was going to say, it’s amazing that you can only watch one episode at a time.
I dont know how well versed you are in anime, but the glasses going pure white is just an anime-ism. It does not always mean that someone is untrustworthy or lying and shouldn't be used as a metric to guage that. Oftentimes it's simply used as a stylistic flair to affect the tone of what someone says.
I've only met two people with an eidetic memory. Tough trying to tell them the same joke twice =P
So you've probably heard how this show is a partial telling of the original show before it split off into it's own thing. That's because the original show caught up to where the manga was and instead of making a bunch of filler to buy time for the manga to pull ahead again, they got permission to make their own story while Brotherhood was intended to tell the "actual" story. This episode marks the point where we continue with the real story and where the original show split off. The breakneck pace the plot has had up until now is slowing down since they wanted to catch back up to this point. Everything up to now has functionally been a recap for the people who watched the original
Incorrect. FMA03 was it's own thing right from the beginning, they knew the IP was good but the story was far from finished so they wrote their own story using this as the basis. Brotherhood is much closer to the manga and got made once the manga was all but finished. The "breakneck pacing" of the early episodes has nothing to do which catching up, it's just that the early stories of the manga are short.
@@Vael221 Very much negative. It was an adaptation of the manga and they quickly ran out of material to translate. The series creator gave them permission to do their own story rather than wait for her with the only real directive being reach a different end point than what she was going for since she didn't want the same story released twice. Brotherhood is the more faithful telling of the story and the first several episodes recaps the most important plot points needed to go forward. Everything up to the 5th Lab *is* an extended recap of the major storylines from the first 30 or so episodes of the original show, the point that the original show split off from the "correct" timeline of the manga. They didn't go into it knowing they'd deviate so wildly, that was a choice made during production. The speedy returning to the 5th lab was an attempt at getting back to the divergence point.
Been really loving your reactions to this series!
It's okay to say you prefer Angry Armstrong girl, the vibes are valid
With the opening monologue re: curing sickness vs replacing a whole arm and leg, the first thing that popped into my head was:
HAN SOLO: That's not how equivalent exchange works!
Plenty of anime are full of German terminology/settings (in part) because "modern" Japan modeled its societal structures (government type, constitution, military hierarchy, etc) after Prussia, leaving a big cultural kinship still showing up today in Japanese media.
21:28 We did it guys. A shirtless Armstrong scene
She isn't obsessed with 😂
Nevermind
Sorcerer's Stone sounds like something belongs to magic or wizard, whereas Philosopher's Stone sounds more like a scientific name that's connected to science origins. Alchemy is deeply rooted in science than in the realms of magic.
I first watched the original amine when i was 12 or 13, and the blood sacrifice for the philosopher's stone totally blindsided me.
Gluttony is adorable, unhinged, creepy and scary.
23:55 I went that same wrestling show! That match was super cool. Loved all the wild stuff on the card.
When I was 7 I fell out of a tree and my arm got caught on a barbed wire fence and got ripped open. I still remember that the inside looked like peanut butter and jelly. Had the scar until I covered it with a tattoo 3 years ago when I was 31.
I'm so glad you're watching dubbed. The dub of this is good, but beyond that I like to watch reactions while multi tasking and I can't do that with subbed because I need to read the subtitles.
😂😂😂😂😂. Just admit that You are a slow reader. Multitasking while watching anime. Yeah right 😂😂😂.
@@ManuelMartinez-fo1rp Hey genius, they're saying they don't know the japanese language, so hearing the dub allows them to focus on something and LISTEN to the show. . Can you read with your ears?
@@ManuelMartinez-fo1rp yeah you know what some of us ARE slow at reading, if i'm just watching an anime where i can pause it to read i will watch in sub, but SOME PEOPLE do OTHER SHIT when watching anime or reactions. i like having videos on when dealing with my kid, or playing on my phone, or working in the kitchen. the magic of a wireless headset is endless, take your elitism and shove it far up your ass :/ 'Ha Ha YoU cAn'T rEaD' yeah some of us are Dyslexic and we dont want to spend an hour to watch a 25ish minuet video >>
@@ManuelMartinez-fo1rpI normally watch reactions on my second monitor while playing through the story-lite section of a game on the main one. That works a lot better while the reactor is watching in english, rather than japanese, which I don't speak.
For a first watch of an anime I have no problem watching subbed, as it has my full attention. Reactions are a different story.
@@ManuelMartinez-fo1rp I'm saying I don't want to read at all lol, I have no problem with the reading speed while looking, I'm a bookworm. These are shows I've already watched, of course I know the gist of what's happening and don't have to fully focus.
I mean, Al IS armor, cut him and the master craftsman that's his brother a break.
Seeing you grinning at a girl with a bunch of books behind her in the thumbnail makes me want a Read or Die OVA reaction. It's 3 episodes that sometimes get cut together as a film. Either way doesn't much matter. It's the same content and was localized in English in 2003, if I'm not mistaken. You'll love it. There's a show too that is a sequel, but honestly the film is really peak and you can let it go afterwards. Hope you can manage it someday, it's great!!!
XD angry muscular Armstrong. hehe
There is a stigma of the word fuhrer since WWII, but to be fair, fuhrer is just the German word for leader/guide. and Amestrius is ostensibly a German based country at the turn of the 1910's.
For me the biggest question of the episode is the one not asked, how many ?
Human life is one thing but how many is the big question to know / find out.
Also cannot wait for you to find out who the "sins" are. 😁
Looking good with they glasses on
Thanks. I love this part of the story. It gets sad.
Here's the really important question: How do you bend your fingers with those rings on?
Yep! Hughes is the nicest!
Ending theme hit so hard
You really only need a few dozen to create a basic philosopher stone
I’m loving your reactions, especially the recent ones. Question, did you go to the AEW show? I ask because I was there.
Sheska is a self insert character done right.
Apparently she is just based on the mangaka.
Aw!
Man I Man I really do not want to wait a week for every episode! I kind of want there to be two episodes a week but I understand.
I'm on your patreon... But still not enough. The show gets so good and I can't wait
I literally posted two episodes this week….
@@funnylilgalreacts oh! I guess you did.
😎 Sorry! Now i feel like a jerk.
😂
Couldn't help but laugh out loud reading this interaction 😂
Lol im right there with Sheska and absolutely being a bibliophile.
If youre interested in an entire anime series about awesome bibliophiles I HIGHLY recommend Read Or Die, also known as ROD. Watch the OVA first, then the anime series. It's wonderful.
Oh, Envy will definitely be horrifying, in fact all the sins will have their horrific moments, especially Gluttony. It's because of how unassuming and non-threatening he looks, but he eats people, alive, always remember that
Two characters that show up in the series are lieutenant Yoki and Barry the chopper Yoki is a disgraced former militarily and Barry the chopper is a serial killer they both had their own episodes in the original series but those were cut in this version I'm posting this for people who are going to wonder where these characters came from
They weren't *cut* in thos version. Their ibtroduction was added for extra padding in '03. They are *supposed* to be introduced here without previous connection.
I think it's time for you to start doing a couple episodes a week now. I love your reactions and I'm excited for you to get deep into the rollercoaster that is Brotherhood.
Hughes is literally the best :)
Slow episode but love to see Armstrong
führer just means 'leader' in German
At this point in the story, I wondered if the truth within the truth might be that the war was really started to make the stones.... No comment on if that turned out true or not, but that was my thought at this point.
I saw the original series first. The philosopher stone reveal was a lot more shocking in that version. But it still is such a horrific let down for the Elric brothers that it gets me even in the Brotherhood version.
fmab is also 10/10 when it comes to its op's endings. Although opening 3 isn't my favorite, the rest make up for it.
Just in time for supper!
Just a few pointers on pronouncing Winry...
Win-er-ree ❌️
Win-ree ✅️
You might be able to do two episodes at once if you look at them as being one episode, you're already accustomed to doing one hour shows, plus... you gots the smarts.
👍
the doctor couldnt bring eds arm back because its not there to fix. he can only deconstruct and reconstruct. even with the fake stone it wouldnt last as its false equivalancy. imo ive only seen both series of fma once each so im not a super nerd sorry if im wrong.
