... oh, and I guess there was something in there about Ed, too, but I was distracted. XD
Haha, I went back to this post after watching the first two dozen eps of brotherhood, and see that your reaction to that episode was exactly the same as mine.
I was plodding through the first couple eps, valiantly trying to understand a thing of what were saying, and suddenly going, "hm, who's that dark-haired guy, he's interesting." :)
I like the mythology and everything (though I couldn't care less about all the epic battle scenes), but for me Roy and his loyal band are so far the most interesting part of the series. Unfortunately the problem with supporting characters is that they never get as much screen time as I'd like.
How does it work, though: I understand that ep 19 of brotherhood = vol. 10 of the manga. And the manga is up to vol. 45? But why is everybody talking about chapter 100-104, are those = vol. 44? So confusing. At least someone explained to me why there are two anime series with apparently conflicting canon...
Anyway, all this anime-watching has been really helping me with my Japanese. I never would've thought to notice and improvement after a mere week, but it's actually working. This is so cool!
