Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (TV Series) Touhou no shisha (2009) User Reviews

Worldbuilding, setup, and action.

This is part of my review for every episode of the show.4

I just have to talk about the new ending and opening. The new opening looks really good, but the song is not where as good as "Again." The ending's visuals and song are really boring compared to the first one.

This episode is really focused on set-up. Scar continues his mission with his slave and a girl join along. Ling Yao and his henchmen are looking for the philosophers stone. They build up a new country and do some good world-building with it. This episode really shows that there isn't real filler in this show. Everything fits in somehow in the story even though some episodes have padding.

The action is so amazing this episode. It's all so fluid and vibrant.

7.6/10 Sets-up a lot and I'm hoping for the payoff.

Fights

One of the weakest episodes so far and it's still very good. 2 amazing fights, Scar, and some world building.

I can't stress enough how great the fights are in this show, and this episode was no different. Even in a somewhat meaningless episode they still have fights that would be some of the highlight fights in any other show. Both fights in this episode were better than most fights from HxH.
