Sorry for not commenting on the last episode, been hectic, and not much to say on it.
This episode, though...
Well folks, we're starting to hit the larger splits between the manga and anime at last.
Truth be told, I think I liked Ed and the Slicers' fight more in the first series (more swordplay. I like swords. What can I say?), but this was still pretty good. Barry and Al were pretty much as they were the first time around, though I laughed at Barry taking out that poor guard.
I love the look of Lust's nails. Much more dangerous than simply extending sharp swordnail things.
All around great ep, though fairly similar to the beginning of the Lab 5 arc last time around, minus the dramatic reveal and Ed's fight with Envy. Kimbley creeps me out just as much if not more than last time, as befits a weirdo who gets off on hearing explosions. Barry, in my opinion, is a lot more of a dick and a lot less fun this time around, and Slicer and Ed's fight could have been cooler, I agree. This ep almost seemed anticlimactic with the building blowing up without the reveal we got last time.
Also, is it just me or does a bit of the sub translation seem rather stiff? Ed spoke way more formally than I'm used to, saying that his arm is out of sorts and whatnot. Hughes and Mustang continue to amuse in their chatting, but I get the feeling we're close to bidding farewell to our friend Maes. *sigh* I still love that character, I'll probably cry just as hard when he dies in this one too.
Can't wait until we're in pure manga territory though, it's so exciting to think about!

We're slowly approaching the manga story. Glee!
