Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood - Episode 08 DUB Review

Episode 8, "Research Lab 5"

You know, for kids!

*****SPOILERS*****

Synopsis: Edward and Alphonse are confronted by the guards of the Fifth Laboratory, Slicer the Homocide and Barry the Chopper, respectively. The guards turn out to be hallow suits of metal, who, like Alphonse, had their souls bonded to the armor. Inside the laboratory, Ed also discovers that Slicer is actually two souls, those of brothers, and barely manages to defeat them, using Scar's technique of deconstruction. Outside, Barry fills Alphonse with doubts over the validity of his existence. Lust and Envy appear before Ed, with Envy knocking him out and taking him to his brother, Brosh, and Maria, as the lab collapses. Barry makes his escape, as does Envy.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood - Episode 04 Review

Episode 4, "An Alchemist's Distress" "Oh, hey. You're just in time for the HORRIBLE TRAGEDY." *****SPOILERS***** Synopsis: While a mysterious scarred man kills State Alchemists, Ed and Al are introduced to Shou Tucker, the "Life-Sewing Alchemist", an expert in chimeras, and his young daughter Nina. Edward researches, but takes time to play with Nina, as well. Tucker frets over his upcoming assessment, and makes a tragic decision leading to an abomination, much to the horror of the brothers. However, vengeance is metted out by the mysterious man. Comments: Huh. I've got to say, this was actually a pretty well dubbed episode. I was pleasantly surprised, actually. Vic Mignogna's Edward Elric comes dangerously close to competence in the key scene with Tucker and the chimera Nina. Maxey Whitehead's Alphonse is finally audible and does quite well.
