Fun fact: the manga gives context for the joke Ed writes in blood after he "dies", basically it is something like, "This story will be called Armored Alchemist from now on" since his extra alchemy skill was the only thing that made him more special than Al.

[@Trichromanic]

The only memories Al was actually missing was the traumatic experience with the Truth and the human transmutation. He still remembered all of his life prior to that. Barry was just casting doubt on whether those memories were real or not.

[@CheeseNacho_]

up until the 2000s anime shows wouldn't have seasons, they would air from start to finish without stopping (a lot of them had a lot of fillers because of that), and the change of opening/ending was a way to tell about a new arc or a new section of the story, so one single anime would have several openings, but it's still one anime, that was the norm back then

[@cobusvanderlinde6871]

Keep in mind regarding the human-animal chimeras. Tucker "designed" his two specimens with the specific goal of obscuring the human ingredient, after all he was essentially trying to create sapience from creatures that lack sapience, and under pressure he took the shortcut, but had to hide the fact that he took it. Whoever made Greed's gang seems to have intended to create people who can walk around in society without drawing too much attention, but who have extra-ordinary abilities, thus in their case the "design" seeks to play up the humanity as far as possible without losing the desired animal abilities. Tucker tried to hide that there is a human in there; for the others, the creator tried to hide that there is an animal in there. It's not that Tucker is bad at making human-animal chimeras, it's that he had different specifications for his chimeras.

[@frenchynoob]

It's the equivalent of having to make a perpetual-motion machine, but hiding batteries inside.

[@joshualandry3160]

In fairness he also seemed to be a poor alchemist so the result may have been a result of his poor execution just as much as an attempt to hide the ingredients. If he had real talent he wouldn't have needed to fall back on cheating.

[@cobusvanderlinde6871]

@@joshualandry3160 I don't think so. This is a setting wherein souls are an established thing. It seems that human souls uniquely possess sapience/the capacity for speech. This means that for Tucker to create a chimera capable of speech would necessitate infusing a human soul into the chimera. There are two ways to do this: 1. To do as Tucker did and procure an existing human soul to use. 2. To use alchemy to create a human soul (this would constitute human transmutation). Consider that Father is looking for sacrifices and his whole operation possibly lured Tucker into being a state alchemist hoping that he might perform human transmutation in order to complete his research, thereby granting them a potential sacrifice.

[@frenchynoob]

@@joshualandry3160 Honestly, I think the show hints that Tucker's task was impossible from the start. Even the Brothers wouldn't be able to make a human soul from scratch, only using random animal souls. No wonder he went insane, tbh

[@joshualandry3160]

@@frenchynoob If he was a skilled alchemist he could have recognized that and moved on. It seems pretty clear that his only goal was preserving his lifestyle and alchemy was only a means to that end. He only put in the effort when his certification was threatened. In reality a simple solution did exist. Use a parrot. They can learn to talk

There is one small manga chapter skipped in FMAB, Elric Brother went to a mine town call Youswell, which is next to desert, and saved people from Yoki control (The weird guy that following Scar). This story will reveal as a short flashback many episodes later. Anyway May was on Youswell when she enter this country, people mention Ed is a young genius alchemist with a beautiful golden long braid and eyes, May was immediately crush on him and want to find him. But she don't know people forget to mention Ed is small, so the imaginary image is totally wrong.😂

Well Alphonse was _always_ a literal "full metal alchemist"; he knew just as much about alchemy as his brother (despite what Al himself may say), he just always needed to make transmutation circles, which takes time.

[@bekss3]

This is my favorite opening of the show. Ling is one of my favorite characters ever, funny, smart and his type of ideology is the best for me when it comes to "leaders". I love the first 14 episodes but to me it kinda feels like the start of the "real" story now that we are done with introductions and setting up everything, the new characters become an integral part so fast but perfectly done.

[@michaelmaguire4147]

Yea, and this is also the point where Brotherhood stops having to recover what was in the original. (for the most part)

That's technically a spoiler so you might want to hide your comment, since it's not fully revealed that the Humunculi have Philosopher's stones at their core until the Roy/Lust fight (Or around then anyway) To be fair, they did establish the Pholosopher's stone can take liquid form a while back so you could intuit it now but we don't know if she's made that leap yet so it's best to stay quiet & let her figure it out~

[@yeetkunedo]

Scar is *my **_absolute_** favorite* character in this whole story. You’re going to love that man by the time this is over.

[@SpiderRiderKya]

What Tucker was doing was, basically what the PUBLIC was allowed to know about "talking chimeras". Obviously no one knew they were made with humans but, as far as the public (or at least regular military/alchemists) was concerned that was the *height* of chimera transmutation. The human based ones from Greed's gang was a top secret thing. Like, suuuuper secret, super soldier type top secret thing. They probably let Tucker continue doing what he was doing as like, a smokescreen so that no one would look further. I promise, Scar wasn't upset about the tiny panda. He was shook b/c she's so cute. Him reaching out was him trying to pet her. They kinda omitted that from the anime. Likewise, Al has a habit of "adopting" stray cats off the street and hiding them in his armour.

[@SnowyWolborg]

I came here to say this exact same thing. Tucker was only a propaganda piece to make the public think biological alchemy is steadily improving when in reality, the military has long since mastered with human-based chimera project. Remember when Envy reported to Lust that Tucker had been murdered, and left barely responded at all? It's because whatever plans that the homunculi have going on, Tucker was never going to be part of it because they knew he was a third rate alchemist.

The thing about Bradley is that he's sort of a dark reflection of Hughes. Devoted husband and father, absolute badass when it's time to fight. We didn't see much of that side of Hughes, but remember that he was a decorated veteran of the war in Ishval without the benefit of magical superpowers. Also, in the fight with Lust, he was dangerous enough to KO her with a throwing knife after she punched a hole in one of his shoulders.

Also poor Greed, being reduced to a 'Homunculiquid', what a name 🤣

11:46 Awww yeah, you finally get to see my favorite FMA:B intro. The image of Wrath doing a 3 VS 1 sword fight is forever burned into my memory. The song is "Hologram" by NICO Touches The Walls. You should listen to the full version sometime. It's been on my jogging playlist for well over a decade. 13:13 May has a different kind of alchemy that focuses on medical uses. Hmmm... 16:27 Meet Ling, your new favorite character. He may act like a goofball, but you should never underestimate him. Or Lan Fan and Fu, for that matter... 20:19 Gotta appreciate Al's more creative uses of alchemy. 23:24 I'm glad you noticed that about Ling; he's a prince with serious ambition, but pretty down to Earth.

It’s also great how things are coming together… The next few episodes, I know you’re loving however far you’ve gotten so far.

[@nox_tech_]

10:27 to "be a matrix" was an explanation, not an alternative title for an alchemist who tried to transmute a human. here, alchemy is a function of science. in terms of that, science is a study of the flow of existence, and alchemy is the utilization of that flow. to say one is a matrix is to recognize one's part in the flow. trees, animals, the ocean, the sun, all that live in the soil. they are each like us a matrix of that flow given form.

Giolio Comanche, aka Silver Alchemist, bears some resemblance to Mad Pierrot from the Cowboy Bebop episode "Pierrot le Fou" (1999). Perhaps that is the show that frightened you back when.

[@reeeyou]

In the anime/manga, the Japanese words for "Alchemy" is "錬金術" which is directly translated as "metal forming art" whereas "alkahestry" is "錬丹術" which is directly translated as "pill forming art". Also how it refers to one being used for war and other used for medicines. It does have real life history, where western alchemy focuses more on metallurgy and eastern alchemy focuses more on making medicinal pills. Hence both 錬金術 and 錬丹術 translates to "alchemy", but there's a need for distinction so they use a made up word of "alkahestry" for eastern alchemy (from the word 'alkahest'). Interesting facts: Western alchemy believes that gold is a perfect material, and that it is possible to transmute the "soul" of gold into ordinary metals to turn them into gold. Western alchemy believed that the Philosopher's Stone is a mythical material that turn base metals into gold, and can be made into the Elixir of Life. Eastern alchemy believes that gold and mercury (in the form of cinnabar), are the perfect materials given that they do not appear to rust or corrode. It was believed that turning gold into a pill form （金丹）or inputting them together with herbal pills to make immortality pills （仙丹） and ingesting it will transfer the inert properties into humans in the form of immortality. Also western alchemy's definition of elixir is usually in a liquid form, but the eastern alchemy's definition of elixirs is in a pill form. Which is also the basis for how HP/MP potions in video games that are liquids, and in Wuxia fantasy ManHua the same items are in spherical pills.

Yessss I think this starts my favorite “season” (season counting as how long this opening song lasts lol).

[@99flower99]

[@stierlara]

Just a little info in the opening/ending culture. Since the 60's anime like western animations had jingle intros that were kept through the entire series, but in the 80's some studios decided to break the tradition and started having actual singers and bands write/perform songs that were used as opening and endings. Nowadays a big appeal of an anime is which famous singer/band will be used for the themes, and budget is assigned to make the videos as appealing as possible (there's even reactors dedicated to react to openings) Most anime change the opening and ending every 12-13 episodes or every 26 episodes depending on how many episodes they have, FMAB changes it a little because it has a bit more than the usual 13-26-52 episodes length.

[@87rabbitsproductions71]

Tucker’s original research may have had a useful purpose for the military as they were able to take his research and likely reverse engineer it and understood what he did and furthered it on their own to make the chimeras we just saw. There’s other reasons too but I won’t mention it here as that part hasn’t been revealed yet

[@oq1106]

Three thoughts come to my mind on this; for one, the military was working with philosopher stones so they could obviously do more radical things. Two, they were specifically trying to enhance humans with animal traits. Tucker was pretending to hybridize "smart" animals and hide that his shortcut was to just mix in humans. So his creations were always meant to "pass" as animals. Third, knowing he couldn't get anywhere without resources and was held back by the assumption that his true research was "too shocking and offensive" to be open about, the military could have had an actual interest in leaving him to be a bad chimera alchemist in his little study. He made for a good "front" to deny that what they were actually doing was alchemically possible. Because everyone seemed to think he was doing "cutting edge alchemy" - based on that a healthy, functional half-cow-guy would sound like a conspiracy.

[@87rabbitsproductions71]

@@oq1106 the number 1 reason I think they kept him around is because of the nature of his research, he would very likely be someone who would break the taboo and perform human transmutation which would then make him a candidate for sacrifice like Ed, Al, and Izumi.

[@Ebon_Sean]

Anime stories are typically broken up into cours of around 13-ish episodes, with each cour having an updated intro sequence that will serve the same purpose the one before it did - teasing events to come that may or may not happen as depicted up front. Being able to understand everything in an intro sequence with clarity because all its teased events have come to pass in the episodes proper is a clue that you're coming up on the end of the current one pretty soon, and it will be replaced by a new one. This is something you'll learn to get used to really quickly if you're going down the anime rabbit hole. FMAB has five opening/ending pairs in total.

[@j.j..jurado1429]

Something that people have bizarrely started complaining about recently (mostly due to purity culture) is that several of the heroic characters, like Roy and Riza, caused massive human suffering and were conllicit in war crimes. Those people don't get that that's the Point. Even good people can or have done terrible things. What matters there isn't what they did so much as how they reacted to it. Roy swore to rise to power and keep such a thing from happening again. Kimblee wanted to do it even more.

[@geoffreycannon2197]

When they first introduced Ling, I really didn’t care for them… but I gave the Xing crew a chance to show what they were all about, and I really came to like them.

[@WhatKindOfNameNow]

You kind of called it with the opening and ending change. It has to do with broadcast seasons on Japanese television. A lot of anime is broadcast in 12-episode seasons, so marking it out into seasons is easy. Some, however, will run one "season" across multiple broadcast seasons. In that case, the anime is usually broken up into "cours" that line up with the broadcast seasons. A new cour will often mark the start of a new story arc and bring with it a new set of opening and ending music. In the case of FMA:B, this episide marks the start of the second cour, as the show was broadcast in one run across multiple broadcast seasons.

[@Scarlett-Hofferson]

It’s not ever fully explained so it’s not really a spoiler, but I don’t think Ling wants to make himself immortal. It’s more so that he can go “Look everyone! I found the secret to immortality! That makes me the best prince! Don’t I deserve to rule?” Then he can convince his dad to take the stone and go on permanent vacation, leaving him to rule in his place with the support of his people/the court.

[@SnowyWolborg]

Also, in the event that Ling does attain immortality, the other 49 Clans are going to be on the Yao family's jock SUPER hard. Why? Because if Ling's reign is an immortal one, then all other clans will need to make sure that they have generational favor with him.

This is the first time you get a detailed explanation of the map of the nations around Amestris. Now, as you might have guessed, Amestris does heavily inspired by Germany before, and during the first world war. The gigantic country to the north and there’s no doubt who that is. Cratea has been argue to be a form of France or Italy. Ishval to the west is very reminiscent of the Armenians. It further still you have a massive desert and the ruins of Xerxes. It has been my understanding that Xerxes is a reference to the Persian empire since beyond the biblical reference, is probably the most well-known king of ancient Persia. Fun fact: king Xerxes, first took a wife named Amestris.

There are not seasons, and there aren't really 'arcs' as traditionally defined. But for me the show always feel vaguely segmented by the different intros/outros.

[@rickymoranjr9609]

Ling was a great edition to this show, same with Lan Fan and oldman Fu

[@kennethmorgan8795]

Older anime tended to not have "seasons" in the traditional sense. So whenever a new OP shows up you've essentially hit a new season. "Spoilers" might exist in OPs but honestly for the vast majority of them you'll have no idea what they were spoiling until that character/event actually happens and then you might go: Oh hey! Scar is a giant fking softy for cute animals, they don't actually talk about it 'seriously' in show... I *think* Riza mentioned witnesses talking about him feeding cats in alleys but that's the closest we get to knowing about that trait of his. Edit: Healing is always a good choice but... teleportation, even if just 'line of sight' I would want teleportation. Comanche, much of the Amestrian military is named after vehicles (primarily military). Edit 2: No, she wasn't afraid... but she is a trained soldier and recognizes a 'threat'. So she chose to neutralize it. Riza Hawkeye (oh look, a scout aircraft model!) is very practical.

[@TheSabataish]

Since this seems to be one of the first anime series you've watched for your channel, ill share some of what i have learned from watching anime most of my life. There tends to be a season finale at episode 13 or 26 for some reason. I'm not really sure why this is, and while it's not a hard and fast rule, it is a trend. Each season of an anime tends to have a new opening and closing song, sometimes with new visuals to go along with it. A bloody nose that seems to happen for no reason, is usually a way to show sexual excitement. The history behind why is kinda interesting. A large red nose tends to represent someone who tends to be a regular heavy drinker, or someone who is drunk. That's about all i can think of off the top of my head, mostly because I'm really tired at the moment.

[@Geoffery_of_Monmouth]

So, it's worth pointing out that sloth, as far as Christian theology goes, isn't actually laziness; it's a refusal to reflect on one's nature and take joy in the world. Being busy is actually slothful if you are just going through the motions. Sloth is insufficient or tepid love. A monk who spends the entire day meditating is not slothful; a wall street exec who runs from one meeting to another never takes anything in is slothful.

[@SnowyWolborg]

A lot of people actually don't know this. When it comes to the seven deadly sins, at least in fiction, sloth can oftentimes be portrayed as just laziness, but, indolence, which is Sloth's title in FMA, also denotes to idleness. Kind of the same way that a lot of people make the mistake that wrath and rage are not necessarily the same thing.

LING! MY SILLY!

[@nekorion]

I think people generally like the first opening most but I think this is one of the beloved endings

[@dan765]

People tend to like the first opening more but I really like this opening

Cowboy Bebop had an unhinged assassin with similar look to Camancho, but taller and far more psychotic...or the Penguin from Batman: The Animated Series 🤷‍♂. Shao May is the little panda to May Chang. So much more to come. I think you started in a warm place, but veered way off. Always best to not know where things are going because that's part of the magic of discovery when watching a series you haven't seen and enjoy.
