There's a bunch of music stuff supposed to be released today (opening 3, OST), including image songs for Ed and Al (please give us an Elric bros duet...), so I'll post those when I find them. Hm...10.14...wasn't that the date they burned their home in the first anime (I remember it was changed by a few days)?

Brotherhood OST? I've been looking for that everywhere! MUST GET.

The date the brothers burned down their house is 3th October 1911 in the manga and Brotherhood, and 3th October 1910 in the first anime.

Well, that was...strange. I guess having a Clip Show be a BLAM Episode is justified. This is what, the third or fourth time we've seen the human transmutation scene? And yet it somehow still manages to be a Tear Jerker.

I like the new OP and ED.

Yeah, and there's an original Crowning Moment Of Heartwarming at the end. I nearly cried when I realized the little girl was Trisha.

I realized that immediately, but it was still a CMOH.

I guess it is.

That was a nice breather, but let's get back to the action! And boy do they mean it — 28 has the same AD as 19!

AD?

Animation Director/the person who animates specific episodes. That AD is the very reason why Episode 19 looked so damn gorgeous.

Ah. Episode 19 definitely was amazing; probably one of my favourites so far. So that's definitely a good thing.

I guess it is.

Soundtrack's out! More music of awesome to the pile, namely Trisha's Lullabye and Fifth Laboratory.

Just got my hands on the soundtrack as well. Pretty awesome if I may say so myself. I'm in love with Lapis Philosophorum Ominous Latin Chanting galore!

I love that song. I tried to find it on Youtube before, but the OST wasn't out so I had no luck.

I guess it is.

Watching the broadcast dub of the first anime while waiting for the next episode stream. Vocal Evolution FTW!

Yep, Adult Swim started airing from the first episode again. It's pretty amazing how Al's voice sounded at the beginning of the series. Also, I never realized how great Rose's voice actor was until now.

Heh, Pinako was quite the spunky gal in her youth. And a Bottle Fairy to boot, looks like.

Also, I never realized how great Rose's voice actor was until now.

That be Lt. Hawkeye and our beloved Luffy, Colleen Clinkenbeard. Rose being a total woobie is certainly going to help her when they eventually dub Brotherhood episode 30 (the Ishval War flashback).

EDIT: Still no image songs Listening to Al's half of the songs now, and while I was looking I ran into the next two that will be released, Ling and Lan Fan.waii They'll be released December 9. Calling Roy/Hughes (or Riza) and Scar/May pairups in the future.

And episode 28 was awesome. I think Ed broke May though, poor thing.sad

Wow, episode 28 was fucking amazing. I was already spoiled for Ling becoming a Homonculus though.

I guess it is.

Also, I have to say that Father is...weird. Not how I expected the Big Bad of a series like this to be, at all.

I guess it is.

Indeed. IMO, this episode goes in the favorites pile.

And here's the Al solo and duet with Ed. For some reason, Ed's songs haven't been uploaded to the net...but the Elric Bros duet (and the K-On songs that were recently released) will hold me over for quite a while~

I'd just like to note the parallels between King Bradley and Ling. Both are born to be leaders, both become homunculi, and most interestingly both are the 12th. King was the 12th subject of the experiment and Ling is the 12th prince. Now, that itself is very meaningless, but the recurring number is obviously supposed to make us connect them, narratively.

Of course, their similarities only exist to emphasize their differences, which have been made fairly clear in an earlier episode when they were arguing about what it means to be a leader. King embodies Wrath, which in this series is portrayed as violent ruthlessness and efficiency at the expense of compassion (ignore the actual meaning of wrath). He's kind to what he has, but throws things away without a second thought when he needs to.

Ling on the other hand embodies Greed, which is shown in this series to be a very protective and compassionate sin. A leader sacrificing his followers is unacceptable, in the sense that Greed requires everything to stay within its possession. Greed is almost a kind of all-encompassing compassion, since it takes everything to be its own and therefore equally important.

I realized the last part when I watched the subs earlier. No wonder Greed took to him immediately and he ended up surviving.

...Damn.

Also, what is Father? Bradley mentioned this homonculus stuff being planned from the beginning of the nation, and Father could do alchemy without even moving(and yet he apparently hasn't seen the gate), so I'm curious.

SHIKI is dead.
