One thing that always gets me is that Ed pretty much never says he wants to get HIS body back, it is always "our bodies" or "Al's body". He knows he made the mistake, and was punished for it. He can live with his penalty, but he can't live with the life he forced on Al. (As he sees it.)
She is paying attention. She is asking the right questions. So she is surely going to enjoy this show by the end of it (and possibly be traumatized as well as many of us are already). Eager to watch their future reactions to this show.
Hello, John here! You are correct with Kim, and it is a lot of fun seeing her watch shows lol. I'm pretty much getting my own live reaction whenever we record
⚠ NOT SPOILERS, READ TO AVOID MISSING IMPORTANT DETAILS IN FUTURE EPISODES ⚠ Episodes 6, 8, 28, 29, 30, 32, 33, 36, 40, 42, 43, 44, 46, 48, and 49 have scenes after the credits; they are sometimes just fun little vignettes, but often they include significant details that will be relevant later on, and that might make some future events confusing if you haven't watched them; it's therefore highly recommended to watch them. If you don't have this list at hand, just look at how much time is left in the video when you get to the credits; if it's more than usual, there's almost certainly a post-credits scene. Furthermore, the credits in episodes 45, 54, 63, and 64 are different than usual, and worth watching (especially the ones in 64, which everyone will probably be expecting a reaction to).
An interesting detail about the events of this episode: As it was explained, the position of state alchemist is highly coveted among alchemists in general (despite having to work for the army) due to the amount of access to classified info that they can get for their personal research and government funding. I wanted to point out this because it helps to explain something: The reason why Roy Mustang delayed his scouting process/visit to Ed and Alphonse was because when he heard the rumors describing "how brilliant the Eldric brothers were", his first thought was that they were like two 30 year old men and that the rumors about their talent were being greatly exaggerated in an attempt to get scouted. He got REALLY surprised when he arrived to where they lived and found out that "the brillaint Eldric brothers" were just a pair of kids. Because of this, after clearly seeing their immense talent (and their tragic mistake) he knew that he needed to recruit them. However, it's also implied that this was also his way to make amends in a way because he probably would have been able to stop them from attempting human transmutation if it wasn't for the fact that he delayed his visit to them.
I cannot wait to see her take on things after the end of this series. She pays attention, so the end result of the plot of going to be very interesting for her to experience.
This is the episode that really got me hooked as a kid. Fantasy and magic was already moreso my thing than a scifi story. My dad passed away when i was 9 and my dumbass child brain thought "wow i wish i could bring my dad back" and totally ignored the fact that the boys lost so much in that attempt.
:D Looking forward to your reactions and thoughts on this show! This show was rather thought provoking the first time through. Glad to see the next episode out!
Man Vic is such an amazing VA… like the thought of Ed’s VA and Broly’s (from the DBZ movies, not DBS) VA being the same person is something that still trips me out to think about.
I'm locked in, subcribed, bell is rung - ready to rewatch this entire show with you two. I love how quickly invested Kim is and how clearly passionate about the show John is. My only request - please try to do more than 1 episode per week (if you can manage it and have the time), the thought that I'm gonna be waiting over a year to see you reach the final episodes is a bit depressing haha
You are too kind! We are aiming for two episodes a week at the moment, Mondays and Thursdays, and would like to eventually try for three once we get into a good rhythm.
"Where did the body go?" is the real question and what the boys want to know. Cause, if it went somewhere then it can be brought back, but the where is the question.
hi there :) ! i just thought i'd quickly say that john and i just filmed episode 4 and i won't say much but i don't think i'll ever be the same 😭 we are planning on releasing this ep this upcoming monday so i really hope you'll join us back here for that (let's all suffer together) :)
Basically the difference is, what Ed is doing like taking a block of clay and shaping it into something and only using that clay, it's still the same amount of materials just in a different shape. But the guy in the rumors, Cornello, is doing the equivalent of turning that same block of clay into a whole house. It's not *physically* possible because that's more material than he started with. Which is what they're investigating.
glad you are enjoying this dub. i prefer sub when i'm watching too but generally feel dub is better for reactions. the chopped up nature makes it harder to follow and the reactors themselves have to focus on reading to the point their overall reactions are more limited.
16:22 😂 Al gets his body back and becomes a food critic. I'd watch it. 😂 Just to be clear, I am not confirming or denying the brothers will get their bodies back.
I must admit that I find the original anime series (the one that ended up moving away from the manga since it wasn't finished yet) had a better start than the brootherhood one. They eventually reach the same point in half the time in brotherhood, but rushing like that was kind of detrimental to the characters in my opinion.
Meanwhile, the Dad is fighting against the "Universe Devourer", defending the continent on the front lines, and all he can think is "I want to go home, Ed will turning ten by now, and Al, also...Trisha, my love, just wait for me a little longer. Dad is coming back soon, but I can't let this beast enter the country, I must protect you, my beloved family!!!". It turns out he is the only Alchemist who can actually damage this evil creature, given that the alchemy he uses is so complex nobody else can understand it. Just like the Mom said to her sons: "You are so much like your Dad, my little geniuses!!!". (Fake story, obviously...or is it????)

Now that the only traumatic episode is out of the way, it's all fun and games from now on! :D
Surely, all there is to do is to find a way to get their bodies back. All action from now on.
Sounds legit!
you monster😂
Nothing but relaxing slice of life/romance arcs in our future!
just wholesome adventures with Al and his big brother

al usually focuses on our and ed's too.
She is paying attention. She is asking the right questions. So she is surely going to enjoy this show by the end of it (and possibly be traumatized as well as many of us are already).
Eager to watch their future reactions to this show.
yeah right? this series is gonna change her life.
@@MarceloDep Indeed, just like it changed ours, or rather shaped ours to the way it is now. A very good reason why this is among the GOATs.
"He's out for milk"... Ed hates milk😂
"Trisha died?! ...But I *did* forget the cigarettes..."
I love how genuinely expressive Kim(?) is, looking forward to this watch through a lot lol.
Hello, John here! You are correct with Kim, and it is a lot of fun seeing her watch shows lol. I'm pretty much getting my own live reaction whenever we record
The most amazing thing about this series is that every one of your questions get answered.
Theres alot of notable performances in the dub, but i think pinako is underrated. That old grandmas passion talking about that incident was great.

I hope she ready for 'THAT' episode..... everyone knows now what I'm saying right
I think my favorite thing about only knowing the "Fvck yeah!" stew meme is that it is literally the last clip on the blooper reel.
This is the episode that really got me hooked as a kid. Fantasy and magic was already moreso my thing than a scifi story. My dad passed away when i was 9 and my dumbass child brain thought "wow i wish i could bring my dad back" and totally ignored the fact that the boys lost so much in that attempt.
Whn he said "its all gonna be happy!" With the side eye smirk to the camera. He knows...😂
:D Looking forward to your reactions and thoughts on this show! This show was rather thought provoking the first time through. Glad to see the next episode out!
Lol Yeah I can’t watch that scene without hearing “Fck Yeah, stew!”.
Man Vic is such an amazing VA… like the thought of Ed’s VA and Broly’s (from the DBZ movies, not DBS) VA being the same person is something that still trips me out to think about.
A slice of life Alphonse show would be awesome. Him experiencing all the different things.
3:30 Lol I mean that’d certainly explain Ed’s hatred for milk… and his father.

Get ready to be traumatised because this anime does that perfectly 😂
"Where did the body go?" is the real question and what the boys want to know. Cause, if it went somewhere then it can be brought back, but the where is the question.
Why drop these casual spoilers?
Kim is going to want Kleenexes and/or calming medication for episode 4
hi there :) ! i just thought i'd quickly say that john and i just filmed episode 4 and i won't say much but i don't think i'll ever be the same 😭 we are planning on releasing this ep this upcoming monday so i really hope you'll join us back here for that (let's all suffer together) :)
Some context: Fullmetal is also a way to say that someone is stubborn.
Thank you for sharing 😊
Basically the difference is, what Ed is doing like taking a block of clay and shaping it into something and only using that clay, it's still the same amount of materials just in a different shape.

I think it did say 10 years. Currently Ed is 15 and al is 14. They were 11 and 10 when they tried bringing their mom back
Yes! Only mustang and Hawkeye currently know about the boys bodies and how it happened. What they did was taboo and extremely illegal.
Oh AND in Japanese the term "Fullmetal" is also used to describe a stubborn/strong willed person!
Riza Hawkeye my wife
@@springdeerling7866 does anybody really think the fuhrer doesn't know after the demonstration
"Already emotionally invested" ....knowing what this episode is about....Oh boy...
This show is really wholesome specially for kids and dogs😊
glad you are enjoying this dub. i prefer sub when i'm watching too but generally feel dub is better for reactions. the chopped up nature makes it harder to follow and the reactors themselves have to focus on reading to the point their overall reactions are more limited.
how does she remember the blooper scene if she supposedly hasn't seen the show?
FMAB has amazing op and ed.
Oh noo. I'm binge watching your reactions but you only have so many out so far .....
16:22 😂 Al gets his body back and becomes a food critic. I'd watch it. 😂

You should post full length reactions somewhere
React to the openings, I want to see you react :)
LETSSS GOOOOO
I can't wait until they start watching the series full metal alchemist.
字幕、必要ですか?40話は字幕でネタバレすると思うよ
I love how she called the truth a "she". I instinctively did the same thing my first time watching the show
To be fair, it's being voiced by a woman. (I forget her name, I think it's the same person who voices Mei Chang?)
Meanwhile, the Dad is fighting against the "Universe Devourer", defending the continent on the front lines, and all he can think is "I want to go home, Ed will turning ten by now, and Al, also...Trisha, my love, just wait for me a little longer.
