  I think my favorite part about you calling Fuery &quot;dog-haver&quot; is that the dog is Hawkeye&apos;s and not even his dog.

  I am not sure if you tracked that that when Hughes was screwing around with maps and papers way back in season 1 he had figured out that the country was an alchemical circle. Man was a good 40 episodes ahead. This is one of the big reasons everyone loves Hughes, secretly one of the most brilliant on the whole cast.

  Alphonse is actually voiced by a girl in Brotherhood her name is Maxey Whitehead and she&apos;s great. Alphonse was voiced by a boy in the 03 show but he was an actual kid who hit puberty by the time Brotherhood was out so they just casted a girl to do a young boy voice but Aaron Dismuke does get to voice someone later to make up for it.

  Sloth is actually the smartest Homunculi, since he can dig a perfect circle over a huge distance and centuries. That is some absolutely insane mathematics. He just seems stupid because thinking is too much work.

  I love how I can know absolutely nothing about this franchise, but your commentary makes it entertaining!

  One distinction the show did make that i think you missed is that king bradley and now ling are a different type of homunculi than the others.<br>They are humans with a philosopher stone injected in them, while the otehrs like lust and envy are full homunculi, being sort of projected from their stone.<br>Its interesting to note that the first greed we saw was fully a homunculus, he got &quot;absorbed&quot; by Father, and then injected into ling.

  I severely underestimated this show the first time I watched. I was expecting surface level shounen stuff but after finishing it and watching all this foreshadowing, makes it one of my favourite shows of all time

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oCOP6MZ14k&amp;t=1440">24:00</a> &quot;though I&apos;m whining about it in this closing paragraph, it definitely has to be a ringing endorsement for the show: I want the show to reveal these things to me, the inner workings of the story that I&apos;m really trying to piece together but I just can&apos;t yet&quot;<br><br>This is one of my favorite parts of the show and a major reason I&apos;ve rewatched it more times than I can remember: enough pieces are on the table at this point that a first-time viewer <i>could</i> correctly speculate what the grander jigsaw represents, but the order and manner in which the pieces get revealed are well designed to obfuscate it and keep focus elsewhere. <br>By the time the &apos;big reveal&apos; comes around, the average viewer has likely forgotten that &apos;most of this reveal was already <s>stated</s> glossed over in throwaway lines from the first 5 episodes&apos;

  Update: I binged the whole series last weekend and could not find this quote. I swear to god I&apos;m in the Berenstein universe. For the record, the English scripts I&apos;m seeing around the internet aren&apos;t 1:1 accurate with the dub, for anyone going down the same rabbit hole. Maybe I heard it in the original series, but even I&apos;m not that dedicated. I accept the dirt I&apos;m eating for spreading lies on the internet, disregard what you see below.<br><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oCOP6MZ14k&amp;t=1360">22:40</a> &quot;That&apos;s a stupid shape for this country.&quot;<br><br>Episode 1&apos;s villain calls you an idiot for not realizing this sooner. &quot;Think about the shape this country&apos;s in.&quot;<br><br>EDIT: Didn&apos;t think this would be what made me renew a netflix subscription, but here we go. I&apos;m not seeing in transcripts where this language is used, but I distinctly remember it. I hate being a source of misinformation, so binging the series over the holiday weekend to cite my source like an adult, or something. Sure hope I&apos;m not thinking of some shit from the 2003 series because even I&apos;m not that committed to the bit.<br><br>Edit edit: The transcripts I&apos;m finding online don&apos;t match up with the actual English dub. Guess I&apos;m in it for the long haul.

  You might&apos;ve missed that, starting around episode 28, there are post-credits scenes in a handful of episodes all the way up till episode 60ish. They resolve a few questions you had.

  Kimblee&apos;s main thing, aside from generic psychopathy, is his constant challenging of people&apos;s morals and beliefs. There will more of that in the future, as he even does this to other villains.
