I posted the original Manga Entertainment dub, because I liked this bit the best in that dub.

Ashura’s troops take to city streets and new giant robots spring into action against Mazinger.
Fullmetal Alchemist Manga vs First TV Series – ROUND FIVE
Volume 5 continues into volume 6 so seemlessly, especially as far as comparisons with the first anime, that I’ll have to review the last chapter of this volume in the next round of comparisons.
EVENTS:
Chapter 17: The Boomtown of the Broken Down/Chapter 18: The Value of Sincerity/Chapter 19: I’ll Do It For You Guys!
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood – Episode 03 Review
Episode 3, “The Town of Heresy”
*****SPOILERS*****
Synopsis: In the town of Lior, the Elric brothers learn of a preist named Cornello who can perform "miracles". Investigating, they discover that the man is a fraud, using what seems to be a Philosopher’s Stone to bypass the law of Equivalent Exchange. Confronting him, they also expose his deception to the townspeople. Edward defeats Cornello, who goes into hiding, only to be killed by two mysterious figures.
Comments:
Well, I didn’t know that the first two chapters of Fullmetal Alchemist could be fit into one single episode so well. Covering most of the major points, without belaboring them with needless expository dialogue (which, because they already explained alchemy, is unnecessary for this episode), and having Ed and Al meet Rose at the church instead of at the little food stand, they did everything in a suitable fashion and at a reasonable pace.
