Little Girl: "Mommy, he's scary!" Jercobalt, that surprised me! XD

Props to takahata and Antfish. I enjoyed the scene with Roy and Bald talking on the phone.

sonicmega's high-pitched scream creeped me out a little, and that line in the very end cracks me up every time. XD

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. Good script from start to finish with some nice comedy thrown in the mix. Since I haven't seen FMA-*shot* Err.. since I have yet to see FMA, I found this humorous as a standalone, especially Roy's monologue into the phone with Ed on the other line. The VAs were great for their roles also. Way to make use of a few, flexible people to cover a bunch of characters. =]

Oh, and the end line: Awesome. Nice work here for sure, FullMetal Alchemist.

Omg!! Another comic piece of genius!! I loved it ever so much again! Fantastic work everyone! ^^

I've got to be honest, I didn't get many laughs out of this episode but it was still a solid effort.

Antfish has Mustang's voice in him somewhere I'm sure but I'm not feeling his Mustang here. The voice doesn't quite fit the character. He makes up for it with great acting and delievery but it just doesn't quite fit.

Zangya's Riza seemed alright though she barely had a few lines there.

Jercobalt's Ed remains fantastic as does Minachan's Al.

Sonicmega's Falman and Heus were a little too similar I'd say the Falman voice was the better of the two so maybe change up Hues a bit.

Takahata's Bald was good especially the phone call with Roy. One of the things Taka does particularly well is switch between a high whiny voice to an evil serious one on the drop of a hat and he used it quite well in this case.

Audio mixing was great, video editing was decent. Script... alright but not quite punchy enough for my tastes.

Some of this is growing pains with a series that's only been around for 2 episodes so I expect many things will see improvement as the crew keeps moving forward. So I'm still watching but I'm starting to lose interest.

Nice work FMA! My friend and I got some really good laughs out of this. Antfish's comedic timing is priceless!

I'm looking forward to seeing what you'll do with upcoming episodes!

Thanks for the review, but I have to ask---do voices really matter that much in an ABRIDGED COMEDY series? [I'm thinking it doesn't because people seem to enjoy the FMAAbridgedteams FMA Abridged series quite alot. :/] When me and sasukedude started this series, we only had it set that the people who would sound like the characters perfectly were Jerocbalt and Mina-chan because they were the only people we knew who sounded like the original. The rest we just cast what fit. I understand it's your opinion and I respect that, it's just...the only time I ever expect to look for perfect voices is when doing a serious fandub.

Also, I am sorry you are starting to lose interest. But to be fair, this is just the second episode. Not much has happened--yet.

Thanks for the comments & stuff, everyone
