Episode 8, "Research Lab 5"
*****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.
What is this? A decent DBZ dub?!
Woah… this is actually… fairly decent! Monica Rial is a good Bulma and Colleen Clinkenbeard is awesome as Gohan!
Sean Schemmel’s Goku still isn’t great, but at least it’s sort of improved. Colleen Clinkenbeard’s Gohan is good, though.
Episode 7, "The Hidden Truth"
*****SPOILERS*****
Synopsis: Edward and Alphonse are in a bind when the 1st Branch of the Central Library is burned down, with all of Marcoh’s reasearch in it. However, with the help of Maria Ross and Denny Bloch, their new escorts, they track down a woman named Sheska, who used to work at the library. Sheska has the unique ability to recall everything she has read, and copies what she read of Marcoh’s notes, which are encoded as recipies. Edward eventually deciphers the code and comes to the realization that the Philosopher’s Stone is made of living humans, and likely by using prisoners. The Elric brothers sneak into Laboratory 5, a supposedly abandoned lab next to the prison. They aren’t alone, however, and while Ed sneaks deep inside, an armored guard attacks Al.
It sounds slightly better than the Z dub, but it’s nothing to get excited about. Too little a sample to tell, anyway.
Episode 6, "Road of Hope"
*****SPOILERS*****
Synopsis: Edward and Alphonse head back to their hometown of Risembool, escorted by Alex Louis Armstrong. On their way, they meet Dr. Marcoh, a researcher into the military’s own efforts to create the Philosopher’s Stone, who gives Edward a hint as to where to find his research. In their hometown, Winry and Pinako work on a new automail arm for Ed and adjustments for his leg. They leave with the comfort of knowing they have a place to come back to.
