Fullmetal Alchemist Episode 36
As the Elrics talk with the old man, he reveals that Scar and his brother asked him about the stone before and that Scar's brother did not actually create the stone years ago due to being too kind. The exile then revealed that Alchemy was known as the Grand Art which was once followed in Ishval until it was banned. The old man then reveals there is no difference in creating a Philosopher's Stone between their different Alchemy styles, just the number of human sacrifices is different when a powerful alchemist brings the sacrifices together to create the stone, which is the only method. In the desert, Scar begins carving a symbol with a huge rock that is chained to his body vowing never to sleep again. Flashing back, the old man reveals that when Scar saw the military in the area, he realized the Stone was the only thing powerful enough to oppose the military. Asking if he'd become an exile too, Scar admitted to the old man that he was one, since technically the sacrifices of his people were within his tattooed arm. This knowledge offended Rick and Rio who were with Scar, and Rio demanded that Scar should leave at once.
Fullmetal Alchemist Episode 36
If my theory about the happenings of the manga are right, what Hohenheim did in the beginning of this episode may be extremely vital to the battle against Father. The reasoning goes that he's travelling Amestris countering Father's circle with his own. As for what exactly he's doing, you'll have to wait a few episodes to get more of it. I always love to see more of Hohenheim. He doesn't appear often, but things he did shaped the events of the entire series. Scenes with him and Trisha are nice. Trisha is especially good-natured and supportive of the guy, despite him not being normal. The family photo bit was especially touching. Now we know why that part of the photo was obscured on Pinako's bulletin board. The Elric home looks really weird outside, though.
WARNING: Please, please, if you haven't read the manga, do not read any spoilers regarding the next episode until you've watched it. Please, watch it when subs are available. Don't watch the raw. Do yourself a favor and wait for it. It will be so, so worth it. Overall Score: 4 out of 5
The disc does include nice bonus material, though. The complete Fullmetal Alchemist Yonkoma Comic Theater is included. 16 animated mini episodes consisting of several funny scenes, that differ a tiny bit from the ones in the show :p. They will be familiar to the people owning the manga but seeing those animated and dubbed makes it even funnier than just reading them.
And then later in the same episode, Winry does, again, express some hostility towards Roy over her parents, after finding out that the brothers are being targeted by the military(which she also tries to argue against) and says:
Personally, historically, not a single episode of FMA1 OR 2 has ever gone by this quickly! Seriously, I pressed play and then, before I knew it, the end credits were being sung over. There was no site glitch on FUNimation.com; I was just so engrossed in the story that it completely made me lose all sense of time.
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, known in Japan as Alchemist of Steel: Fullmetal Alchemist (鋼の錬金術師 FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST, Hagane no Renkinjutsushi), is the second independent anime adaptation developed by Bones based on the Fullmetal Alchemist manga series by Hiromu Arakawa.[1] Yasuhiro Irie worked as director, and Hiroshi Ōnogi as writer.[1][2] The series follows the story of two alchemist brothers, Edward and Alphonse Elric, who want to restore their bodies after a disastrous failed attempt to bring their mother back to life through alchemy. Unlike the first anime adaptation, which diverged into a completely original story direction halfway through its run, the second series directly follows all the events of the original manga.[3] Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood comprises a total of 64 episodes, 4 original video animations, and 1 theatrical film.
Aniplex began releasing the series in DVD and Blu-ray on August 26, 2009. The first one contains two episodes and an original video animation (OVA).[11] Three more OVAs were included in the fifth, ninth and thirteenth volumes alongside four episodes. Other volumes feature four episodes and no OVAs. A total of sixteen volumes were released, with the last one on November 24, 2010.[12] Funimation released the episodes on Blu-ray and DVD in five volumes, each of thirteen episodes on May 25, 2010.[13][14]
This episode covered much of Chapter 8 of the third Legend of the Galactic Heroes book, though it did incorporate the end of Chapter 7 when Henslow met with Kesserling and the latter flawlessly trolled the former. The episode did excise a bit in the book about Admiral Alarcon, who accompanied Yang back to the Corridor, being an overzealous and somewhat corrupt officer. The chapter in the book was also a bit dryer when it came to the tactics used. The episode made the combat seem a bit more exciting, not just by animating them, but by using more exciting techniques.
One of the things the episode added to the battle was Yang's use of the railgun ships. As explained, their usefulness as weapons were questionable, as they had very limited mobility. But in the Corridor, where mobility is already hampered for everybody, they're actually very effective, because they close the gap with their potent raw power. It makes sense that the FPA would foist these supposedly worthless fighters on Yang instead of offering their bigger and better fleets to him on his way back to Iserlohn, because they love to tie his hands behind his back. But his cleverness allowed him to make use of the ships in a way that devastated the Imperial fleet. I really enjoyed how the episode handled this, by showing it was a clever gambit by a man who makes full use of all resources available.
I think it took over 5 minutes for Seto to die, and he was very, very, VERY angry the entire time. Just fueled by literally nothing but rage. Could probably go a couple more episodes if he had taken a nap in the KaibaCopter, but alas, even Seto Kaiba eventually runs out of fumes.
In this episode, we get to see more of the history of Hempstool, and there's a little more insight into what his deal is with his weird body and the struggle of dealing with whatever. There's not enough real information to assess what his role, if any, is in what's going on with the Homunculi, but we at least find out that there's a decent reason for him leaving his family.
The worst part of being an anime fan is when an episode ends. When a good story draws fans in, most fans are perfectly content with watching that story forever. However, each episode can only be so long, and the best ones usually end with a cliffhanger.
Cliffhangers are used to suck the audience into a story and encourage fans to consume more of any given series. While most cliffhangers aren't all that memorable, some series are known for being masters at cliffhangers. Some cliffhangers are so good it's hard to believe fans were able to wait for a new episode to air without completely imploding.
Death Note is an incredibly tense series all the way through, but the tension reaches its peak during Episode 36, which is the second-to-last episode of the series. Light tasks Mikami with writing down all the detectives' names in the Death Note, and just as Light announces that he's won, the episode comes to an end.
Fans watching Episode 9 sat at the edge of their seats as the final match came to a close, only for the episode to end as Hinata was spiking the ball. Fans felt like they were rooting for a real team this season. The cliffhanger made everyone even more desperate to see how the finals would end.
While One Piece has many cliffhangers, this one is notable for how it completely turns the series on its head. Fans were already reeling over the fate of the Going Merry. The idea that Robin betrayed the Straw Hats made it even harder for fans to wait for the next episode.
Unfortunately, the villains do succeed in capturing him. Bakugo's final words to Midoriya are one of the best moments in the series, and the fact that the episode ends before the fans know his fate makes them even more eager to continue the series.
The final episodes of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood are full of action. It's obvious the characters were prepared to fight back against Father and the government, so it's understandable that most fans thought the heroes would easily succeed.
This changes when the sacrifices are captured, including Mustang, who is a potential candidate. Worse, Hawkeye's life hangs in the balance, which is why Mustang agrees to see the truth. Of course, the episode ends at that moment, forcing fans to wait to see what will happen next.
Nearly every episode of Attack on Titan ends with a cliffhanger, but the most memorable cliffhanger comes at the end of Season 2. This cliffhanger also appears after the credits, which makes it very easy to miss for fans who don't watch the entire ending.
Because Case Closed was unceremoniously yanked and then quickly replaced on YTV's Friday night Bionix block, I don't have an episode number or title. However, you can be certain that it'll be different, and therefore new, from any of the episodes that aired previously. 041b061a72
