Speaking of the fight with the homunculi, it was good to see Edward Elric, the Fullmetal Alchemist, the main character of the story, actually do something that made some sort of difference (hope you like it, since you won't see him do anything of significance for quite a while). I liked his idea of imitating Greed by hardening his automail via the carbon elements in it. Still, though, why didn't Pride just continue at him? Eventually Edward would have lost his stamina and Pride would easily have been able to overcome him. I also wonder exactly what it is that swallowing Gluttony does for Pride, since in pitch dark he can't even use his abilities, so what good does it do to be able to find them with smell? If anything, he should have taken Alphonse while he had the chance and reorganized a new strategy, maybe bring Kimbley in or something. And poor Gluttony! I really did feel bad for him in the end. The Xingese do kick ass, but boy are their abilities ever convenient to the point of annoyance. I still feel like they belong in a different series altogether most of the time. I can't wait for Greed to claim Ling's body again and for Ranfan and Fu to make their exit again. I know I'm probably in the minority, but these guys irritate the shit out of me, I don't care how much ass they kick. In fact, that's the whole problem with them, as soon as they arrive, they kick all the ass and nobody else really has the chance to.
Well, Hohenheim will have a cool scene in the next episode. I'm really looking forward to that. Overall Score: 3.5 out of 5
