Good chapter and alot of note worthy stuff
1 - arnstrong shooting that general in the head
2 - the group going to take out "father"
3 - ZOMBIES!!! (fuck yes)
4 - Kimbly breaking pride out of his "jail", man alphonse is pretty much fucked.like everyone else has said, 10 chapters left, I just hope this series ends with an epic bang.
-
I don't really see anything happening to Al right now. He'll most likely be taken hostage and possesed again.
-
well I didn't mean al was fucked in the sense that he'd be killed or something, I meant it as the way you mentioned now.
-
does only 10 chapters left out for final is this certain
-
I honestly don't know but apparently the creator said that this manga was going to end at chapter 100, not to sure how true that is or not.
-
Well, at an average of 42 pages a chapter it's not inconceivable (that's roughly 500 pages). The story could reach an end in 10 chapters, but it does seem kinda rushed. It'd prefer if it went to 105 or 110. Of course they could always pull a death note and give us an extra few later.
I did a lot of catchup over the past few days… anyone remember the chapter where Winry almost took of her shirt in front of Ed and everyone swarmed her room? Hilarious XD
And I'm really excited for the new anime. I loved the original, but one that sticks to the manga's story sounds much better :)
-
Well even though I hope for the new anime to stick to the manga there's one thing from the first anime that I hope will make it to the new one, which would by Hughes obsession with his daughter. I mean seriously, that always cracked me up in the anime while in the manga it happened how many times, once, twice?
-
Hughes obsession with his daughter was priceless. I just hope when they do his funeral scene that this time the animation will have more emotion behind it. Last time was good but it wasn't enough.
-
I have a feeling it'll carry over, because if you notice Hughes obsesses over what's most important at the time in the manga (Example: During the Ishbal flashbacks he was always talking about his new girlfriend and how he was worried she'd be with another man).
Of course I want the new anime to have three magic words… TINY MINI-SKIRTS!
-
so does this mean that were gonna have to sit threw all the way to devils nest again?
-
Gosh… does this mean they might have to find a new voice for Alphonse?
I've heard that FUNi is making plans to dub this new series and they have recently consulted Christopher Sabat in taking the role of Alphonse.
-
That… sounds like a terrible idea...
I hope Sabat declines... he's a great Armstrong, but likely to be a horrible Alphonse
-

Are you serious? That sounds like a bad joke.
-

Why wouldn't they use that again?
-

I enjoyed him to death in Samurai 7, but this just sounds horrible if it turns out to be true.
-

I'm just an impatient person, I would like to see devils nest arc in it's full glory before the original anime completly ruined it. Not to mention I wasn't that found of the begining episodes except for where the first met barry the butcher and that one suit of armor that was two brothers possessing it.
-
The biggest screwup for me (Besides the Wrath/Pride/Sloth fiasco (honestly, how was that Sloth representing her Sin in any way whatsoever?) was the death of Marco and the keeping of Tucker. Tucker was useless and deserved to have his head blown out by Scar. Marco, on the other hand, is a badass, and his role in the manga is amazing. Also, Loki's role in the original anime was as comedy relief, and while it still is in the manga, at least he played a somewhat more important role.

the original anime screwed alot of things over.

It's hard to joke on the net my friend; make anything sound good and people will believe you.
Although saying Sabat as Alphonse SHOULD be an obvious joke :P
-
Say goodbye to emo-alphonse, here comes stoned-aplhonse! New chapter and we are near the end!
-
Great, some serious shit is taking place right now. Though I can't really say that I'm happy that…
! …Envy is back.
-

Yeah, serious shit, old man vs old man fight is starting also.
-
! …Envy is back.
! Don't worry, Mei Chan will grill him.
Good chapter. I admit that it is good to see Al deciding to take on the kid and Kimbley in a fight. Looks like he has a plan.
Only nine to go…
-
Btw, anybody know what the info about the anime says?
-

Agreed
This is one of the best chapters in some time; the fight setups were perfect.
I hope they spend the next few chapters just covering one or two fights at a time though. Reading all those in pieces would drive me crazy :P
Also, I'm wondering what Greed and Wrath are up too…
-
Good chapter, but it seemed a little on the short side. Looks like we've got some good match-ups for the final battle.
Team Ed vs. Pseudo-zombies
Mei-Chan vs. Envy
Armstrong vs. Sloth
Alphonse vs. Kimblee and Pride
Hohenheim vs. FatherDamn, I've forgotten how creepy/awesome Envy is. Oh, and iMustang, my prediction is that Wrath will meet up with Mustang and Ran Fan will meet up with Greed/Ling.
-
Damn, I've forgotten how creepy/awesome Envy is. Oh, and iMustang, my prediction is that Wrath will meet up with Mustang and Ran Fan will meet up with Greed/Ling.
That would be some interesting pairings… but I can't shake the feeling that Wrath and Greed are going to fight first. They do have quite a buildup going (that ended last with Greed jumping out a window :P).
Maybe they'll fight, Greed will lose, and then Mustang and Wrath will fight. At which point Ran Fan and Ling can try to subdue Greed for good.

That would be equally as interesting. Oh and, retard that I am, I totally forgot Greed had switched to Ed's side (sort of).
-
the latest chapter was meh IMO, I can't wait to see "Father" and Honeheim duke it out though.
-
This chapter was…pretty short. Lots of build-up though. Hopefully next chapter will have a bit more meat to it though.
The immortal soldiers are starting to remind me more of the mass-produced EVAs from End of Evangelion rather than zombies, as they have souls inside of them and those lines on their bodies that I'm assuming will be red like the ones on the Homunculi. Not to mention that they keep on coming...
-
:wassat:Who's Loki?
It's Yoki actully. He the cowardly military guy Ed screwed over in that mining town episode. As for the manga, not bad. Still roughly setting up the big showdowns but the frantic pace is still present. Can't say it not getting exciting, looking forward to next chapter.
-
Another prediction: I think Alex will show up to help Olivier in the battle against Sloth. Imagine the strongest Homunculus going up against the strongest Alchemist. Plus, you know, taking down a Homunculus is a pretty tall order, even for Olivier.

I'm actually fairly confident that Olivia is "that one character" that every series seems to have, who would slaughter every enemy, trash the Big Bad and even liberate her homeland from its dependence on foreign oil before teatime if she were the main.
That being said, I would admittedly love an Armstrong teamup. It would be interesting to see how those two would deal with having to cooperate.

Well, maybe part of it is just that I'm really mad at Arakawa for putting Alex in the backseat for so long. He's too awesome a character to be ignored!
-
Just to be safe.
! Hey you can't diss Alphonse with a philosophers stone man, That's just epic.
I mean really.
I'm kinda hoping the new Series is going to be as awesome as the manga.
Here's to being canon! -
BUMP due to new anime commercial.

In regards to the censorship debate a few pages back, I don't think we'll have to worry, given what this shows.Hope the next chapter comes out soon…

Showing Ed's leg disappearing and a pool of blood is still not as gruesome as showing a bloody stump / severed limb.
… But, enough of that, where's the damn spoiler from MH? I want to see Hohenheim vs. Homunculus, Envy vs. Mei Chan, Al vs. Pride and Kimbley, and Olivia vs. Sloth.... and possibly Roy vs. Wrath. Hell, I'll take Ed vs. the Zombie army at this point.
-
I just LOL'd for remembering the Zombies. Their by far the funniest characters in this series.
http://hagarenbbs.org/viewthread.php?tid=14439&fpage=1 I got this link from onemanga.com's forums and apparantely it's the spoilers for chapter 92.
-
! Is Alex boxing with Sloth? Fucking epic win. And looks like Kimbley's fucked. Awesome.
-
! it seems as if both armstrongs were going at it before sloth interupted though
-
! DIEEEE KIMBLEYYEYYYY!!!
-
! DIEEEE KIMBLEYYEYYYY!!!
! Srsly. About damn time. I like a little crazy indiscriminate manslaughter once in a while as much as the next guy, but I'm hoping this is really the end.
-
! After getting bitten in the freakin neck, even if he doesn't die I don't see him getting up soon
-
! So Sloth's power is super speed, ironically enough. Makes sense since he had to dig that tunnel around the entire country.
! Hm, Kimblee still has his own Philosopher's Stone, doesn't he? I don't think he's down for the count just yet. -

! Hm, Kimblee still has his own Philosopher's Stone, doesn't he? I don't think he's down for the count just yet.! I'm guessing the match-ups going to be Kimblee vs Marcoh, the Lion and gorrila guy and Alfonse vs the shadowkid (I'm terrible at names)
! It still feels a bit weird and somewhat cheap that Sloth's power is speed though since he's already got super strengh-now hes a speeding brick (I supposed it's balanced out by lack of control, but still). Also if you consider Envys is shapeshifting and Gluttonys was…well good chapter anyway.
! By the way,Greed is in Ed's group right? -
I. Love. This. Manga. So. MUCH!
Why can't all manga be this great?
-
While I do agree with you, I think its a bit unfair to compare it to others at this stage, now that it's in the 'last hurrah' arc and all.
