FMA: Brotherhood - Episode 1  
Yep, the capsummaries are back! Now bringing to you some FMA screencaps and silliness on FullMetalSundays!


Now, to note, these capsummaries won't be the same as my Code Geass ones, if you were here for those. For one, there will be no more sexparty jokes (thank god!) and for another, FullMetal isn't as easy to make fun of as Geass. Well, there are funnies, but when you're desperate, you can't just throw in the "Lol, gay" joke and have it work here.

But, I'll try my best; I missed doing these even if it took a good chunk out of my sundays, even more of a chunk because I work on Sundays now, so all capsummaries will either be late Sunday or on Monday, because of that.

At least it'll give me time to try and come up with some actual humor while I'm at work. :/

Anyway, I've talked for too long, so here I go:


I was seriously thinking this series would start off slow...you know, for the newcomers.

Boy, was I wrong. (Thank you, Bones!)


Whelp, here's our Villain of the Week. Enjoy him while you can.


Amestris looks like a giant cookie.


"Roy, I'm putting you in charge of the operation. Now go away so I can do some TOTALLY NOT SUSPICIOUS secretive things."


There's our Roy! Looking significantly more asian in this adaptation.


"Well, so far, so good...Don't screw this up a second time, plz."


"Yay! I'm cared about now!"



Okay, just a note here: I don't USUALLY cap openings or closings. But the opening was pure SEX ON A STICK so I just had to. I apologize to any dial up users, but if you've seen the episode, I think we can both agree that it was very FFFFFFFFFFF worthy.


YOUNG HOHO-PAPA! <3 <3 *spazz*

THIS. This shot was made me realize that no matter even if they completely FUCKED UP this anime, I could never, ever hold it against them. Not with this GLORIOUS OP FANSERVICE.


I'm such a sucker for chibi Ed and Al.


Since when did Hohenhiem get so awesome, anyway?

For that matter, when did all the Elircs become platinum blondes?
Not that I mind, I <3 platinum blonde Ed, if evidenced by how I color him.


"Use your hyperressonance, Luke!"


LIP-SYNCHING? Seriously?


Surprised Mustang is Surprised.




THIS PART LOOKED SO COOL. OMG, PRETTY ANIMATION + MATCHING WITH THE MUSIC = AWESOME.


This bit was a bit freaky, though.


Chibi Ed looks cuter than chibi Al. (It's the bangs)


A bit too freaky, for my taste, but this OP gets freakier.


Winry can't walk in those shoes, obviously.


Envy only has one facial expression. Seriously.

OKAY, IF YOU WATCH THIS NEXT BIT IN SLOW MOTION, IT IS SO FREAKY. I POSTED TWO CAPS EVIDENCING ITS FREAKINESS. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

I don't understand how this is supposed to work, but apparently all the homunculi in this shot are MORPHING INTO EACH OTHER through a violent looking process.



And here:



Yeah. Creepy. D:


Lust always had great facial expressions.


It's not a FMA opening without Roy's obligatory cool shot.


Or Hawkeye's obligatory cool shot.


Greed! Hopefully this is a sign that they won't fuck this up like last time.


I spy a SEXY HOBO. (You will get this if you used to get your FMA scanlations where I used to get them.)


Ed's obligatory cool alchemy shot.


Like I said, one facial expression.


More angsty lip-synching.


And Ed looking cool...while ripping off his own arm...? And then he throws it at the eye in the gate?

Oookay, then.

Now, to the actual episode;


Hurray! For Soldier A!


I thought that was an automail arm for the longest time.


I wish they sold those things. I'd put one on my wall, next to my Hylian shield and Master Sword.


Why are all FMA villains just batshit crazy, anyway?


"Why did it take so long to get me back on air, anyway?"


OMG, I love the alchemy this round. It seems a lot less flashy and a lot more realistic, as evidenced by this: http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a182/photoperson17/FMA/138.jpg


I'm loving that they kept the manga's sense of humor this time. XD


At least Villain of the Week has a bit of a protective instinct towards his balls.

Then, I think you can guess what's coming...


"Why does this always happen whenever I am introduced?"


Obligatory ripping off of the coat to reveal the arm...


Obligatory "You are...the FULL METAL ALCHEMIST!111one!!!11!"


Obligatory brother confusion...at least this time they threw Manga Humor into it.


How does Ed not kill people when he pulls shit like this?


"WHY THE FUCK ARE THERE RANDOM WORDS AT THE TOP OF THE SCREEN, BLOCKING WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN COOL CLEAN IMAGES?!!"


"You just have to look on the Bright Si-ide of Life..."


*Twirl*


It wouldn't be a shounen anime without the stupid guards.


Ed is unamused.


"These random words are really starting to piss me off..."


"Why are we wasting time on useless exposition when I could be, you know, providing more fanservice?"


"Hey Ed, guess who gets to be awesome next manga chapter? ;D"




Everyone looks out windows when reminiscing.

Yes, I like taking caps of Ed. Shush.

Is it just me, or does Ed look older in this anime?


Surprised!Ed looks like a surprised kitty.


Y halo thar. :D


I can actually read that. It says: urusai no ga kitanaa.

Which means... "Shut up...something."

I R GREAT TRANSLATOR!


Obligatory Hughes introduction w/brother confusion.


?


Rape Time.




Awwwwww~~! <3 <3

...

BAWWWWWWWWWWWWW>


"Big...small..."

THIS WAS SO CUUUUUTE~~~! <3


I love how he's trying to be nice for the little girl. XD


I've been there. It's how I get when trying to get me to go to my Japanese class. :/


You know you're hungry when anime food looks good.


I swear, I saw a pic JUST LIKE this from the old anime. But this almost exact same expression on Ed just looks...different, almost. I just can't figure out for the life of me WHAT is different, it just FEELS so different from the other, you know?


Kimblee? Already?! (His voice totally suits him).


"You know what they are doing in this country."

Wait...THAT guy figured it out? THAT GUY?

I uh...I have a hard time believeing that, really. :/


"Don't you hate them? You killed your superior officers--"

"Lol, dude, I only did that for the shits and giggles."


I want to marry a man like this someday. Hughes is like, my ideal man.

*SOBS*


...Was her hair that color in the old anime?


Hey Ed, your metal arm is badly animated in this shot. It looks like its too fat.


Al keeps a book of all the stuff he wants to eat when he gets his body back...

THAT IS ADORABLE!


Am I the only one that things Ed with his hair down is the sexiest thing ever?


Kinda looks like a Masterball.

"SEEL, USE ICICLE RAIN!"


"Full Meetal Allllllchemist"

Seriously, using a Gajin for this...The fuck?


Full Metal ALCHEMIST!

Though, those stills would make neat wallpapers.


Flame Alchemist in the House.


..."Lol, you missed!"


You know something weird? My dad's boss looks and acts like Armstrong. So, I cannot unsee it whenever I see Armstrong now. XD (if only Armstrong was shown ONCE wearing a pink shirt, my life would be complete.)


"STARYU! USE ICE PECK!"


Cinematic GASP!


Armstrong bullets?


Go Al! Yay for the animators for making you useful this turn round!


"Uhh..."


"Shiiiiit."

Water-type ALWAYS beat fire-type, silly Roy!


Why is it red when its supposed to be the power of ICE?


"Well...crap."


OMGWTFBBQ!

(Wow, takes a lot to wake up Father-chan, doesn't it?)


"If you knew what was happening in this country, you wouldn't work for them!"

Seriously, it just makes NO SENSE that he knows. NO SENSE.


Blegh, it was a good set up for a cap.


GOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAL!


This is my "We are so screwed!" face.


All the COOL kids ride to school on ICEBERGS.


Also, really nice place to take a cap.


"Why does this ALWAYS have to happen when we're being introduced?"


"You've committed the ultimate sin!"


"You die at the end of this episode. Why do you care?"


OMGWHOA. It looks like they ripped the panel right from the manga!


I'm a sucker for chibi Ed.


Obligatory past/we've lost our bodies angst. And the music during this scene is AMAZING.


Ed has very womanly legs in this shot. :/


"You're out of water!"


"You're forgetting the other liquid--liquids of the human body!"
"OMGEW. D:"


He hit Ed...with frozen blood?

Really? O.o You'd think that'd be...harmful to yourself.

But alas, I'm forgetting Animu Rule #29: All characters have 15 gallons of blood--and more if its a dramatic scene.


His master plan is...to freeze the government building? SERIOUSLY? That's like your great evil plan to topple the government is to foil their cubicles or something. Lame even by lame villain standards.

Yeah. Totally don't buy that this guy knows AT ALL what's going on behind the scenes. He's just too dumb.


Obligatory Roy looking cool shot.


"EAT FIREBLAST, GLACIER BUTT!"
**It's super effective!**


This amused me. Oh, Roy, where would you be without your Riza? XD


Not too sure I like her new voice, though. Sounds too girly for my taste.


Well, this is in no way creepy or suspicious.


Who has that much blood in their body, anyway?


Issac's been borrowing expressions from Envy.


Goodbye, Issac-chan. You won't really be missed.


Where did he keep that thing?


More Roy looking cool.


HOLY CRAP! ARMSTRONG IS THE HULK!


Well, now that everything's all and good, time for Father to go back to bed.


"Why Hello there. I may look nice here, but in fifteen episodes or so, I'll be plotting your utter destruction. Nice night, eh?"


"Hey Roy, come with me to the bar tonight! I need a DD!"


THINGS THAT ARE SEEN CANNOT BE UNSEEN.


FullMetal Alchemist, brought to you by NAMBLA.


I've missed her a bit.


All this talk about Lior makes me worry that we'll be forced to see a reboot of the Father Cornello buisness. D:

AAAAAND That's all folks! Next week is flashback time!


Anyway, about this episode...I found it TOTALLY AWESOME, but I might be biased because with me good music + good animation = SOLD. But even though Issac was WTF, I found it more enjoyable than old FMA fillers. It had hints of all the great manga-drawn stuff to come, so I can't hate it, really.

Here's to the rest of the season being so awesome! :D See you next week, guys!


Almost forgot! Lolcaps!

Some Envy animation fail.


Envy even has the same expression while being blown up.


*BAP!*

At first, I wasn't expecting much... like... oh no, not another goose trying too hard to be funny...

...but I genuinely laughed. ...like... several times. I'd be quite thrilled if you did one for each of the eps; they're quite amusing ^___^!

I'm also glad I wasn't the only one making pokemon jokes in this ep xD;;;
Kit-chan: FullMetal[info]inulovinkit on April 8th, 2009 01:39 am (UTC)
I'm planning on doing it for every episode.

Glad you approve!
eiliem[info]eiliem on April 6th, 2009 08:52 am (UTC)
Ed with his hair down is the sexiest thing in 2D. So is Ed with his hair in the braid. And Ed with his hair in the pony tail. And Ed.

I lol'ed so much at Roy in this episode - he was such a wet cat. And Ed is a cat. They are angry, angry kittens - no wonder they don't get along :P

The. Music. OMG.

And the OP! When you got to the end of capping the OP I was thinking *oh, that was lovely...wait, what? There's more? Oh yeah, the *episode*"

"Hey Ed, guess who gets to be awesome next manga chapter?" Mahahaha! Win.
Blysse: Ed Heart[info]darkblysse on April 6th, 2009 09:15 am (UTC)
Oh, God... You have to do one of these for every episode! I command thee! XD

First off... Yes, Ed with his hair down is the sexiest thing ever. Which is why I took about, oh... 20 fucking screencaps of it.

FullMetal Alchemist, brought to you by NAMBLA. You killed me there! I had to almost stuff my fist in my mouth to keep from laughing loud enough to wake my mother up! XD God... South Park reference, ftw! \o/

PS: You're totally friended now, because of your awesomeness.
Kit-chan: FullMetal[info]inulovinkit on April 7th, 2009 01:27 am (UTC)
I didn't actually intend a South Park reference. That was actually more of a Daily Show reference, since they mention NAMBLA so much. XD

Glad to be your friend!
brenflood[info]brenflood on April 6th, 2009 09:24 am (UTC)
It's a shame you didn't watch gundam 00 (and that no one else in the community did something similar).
These are great.
Kit-chan: B+W Lulu[info]inulovinkit on April 7th, 2009 01:28 am (UTC)
I didn't watch Gundam 00 because I wanted to finish watching Gundam SEED first. (I know they're not really connected to each other, but watching two Gundams at the same time would get me confused.

Thanks!
causmicfire: lol[info]strandedthought on April 6th, 2009 10:20 am (UTC)
I'm still laughing at that second to last cap...seriously, Envy is a shapeshifter, and he only has one expression, lol

Hughes looks so adorable in the scene where he's talking to Gracia.
bloomingblossom: fma edward[info]bloomingblossom on April 6th, 2009 10:34 am (UTC)
Love ur screemcaps :XXX I'm stealing them (with credit hehe)

I'm totally in love with the Young Hoho-papa-chan :X:X:X:X:X
Paula[info]icy_flares on April 6th, 2009 10:37 am (UTC)
=))) I love the commentaries you put. it's just so amusing and funny. I found myself doubling up in laughter.

But yeah, this anime's off to a pretty good start! :D I wanna see more of this next week!
I'd wager all: FMA: Ling squirt[info]jessibot on April 6th, 2009 10:46 am (UTC)
wtf, how did I never notice Lust bursting out of Envy's body like that? GAH.

Anyway, this is genuinely funny stuff. And the Pokemon references are GOLD. XD
Kit-chan: OMG INCEST[info]inulovinkit on April 8th, 2009 01:36 am (UTC)
I only noticed cuz I freeze framed at the wrong place.

And then proceeded to freak out.

BTW, your icon is win. XD
Imagination at it's finest: Love thy Self[info]dragontrap on April 6th, 2009 11:28 am (UTC)
Actually that was fun as hell to read and I hope to see more from you each week. I would like to add that if they truly ARE following the manga after this point, Envy's facial expressions will get more varied. I swear, he (I've ALWAYS used the pronoun 'he' for Envy, because Envy acts more masculine than feminine) and Ed have some of the most random ones in the series lol
ca11iope[info]ca11iope on April 6th, 2009 11:48 am (UTC)
Great job! Please keep it up. I hope they don't screw this up - so far so good though. I'm especially looking forward to seeing how they handle our sexy hobo (ZOMG).
Kit-chan: Zerozaku angst[info]inulovinkit on April 7th, 2009 01:31 am (UTC)
It's a shame ZOMG went down. :(
ceruleanpure[info]ceruleanpure on April 6th, 2009 11:51 am (UTC)
XD! Thank you! These were great. :D


うるさいの(人)が来たなぁ。 Means something to the effect of "The noisy one has come." ~/o/

Also, Ed with his hair down? = <33333
Lolz. Sexy Hobo!! :D (I miss their scanlations... their translations, I felt, were the best ones.)
Kit-chan: B+W Lulu[info]inulovinkit on April 7th, 2009 01:30 am (UTC)
Oh well. I'm not very good at Japanese, anyway. I can just read the script. XD
Snozzles: C.C[info]snozzlenut on April 6th, 2009 11:52 am (UTC)
Yay it's the return of the capsummaries! And Yay! It's the return of FMA! I need an FMA icon now but photoshop isn't working DX

Lol I really didnt notice the whole homunculi morphing thing when I watched the OP. Those screencaps are going to inspire some interesting nightmares now xD that is freaaaaky.

Pretty animation is pretty <3
Kit-chan[info]inulovinkit on April 7th, 2009 01:31 am (UTC)
OMG, isn't it? The animation in this series is orgasmic.
Lazy-chan: my brain's still plotting it's ecape: Uru fangirl[info]muthine on April 6th, 2009 12:32 pm (UTC)
Really funny! Loved the mix of fangurling and slight flaming of the ep (I just stopped at fangurling personally ^^)
I'll sure be reading your other summaries ;)
Jess[info]iscah_rambles on April 6th, 2009 12:39 pm (UTC)
I THOUGHT it looked like the homunculi were bursting out of each other! But then I was like "no way, they wouldn't do that, it'd be too weird!" ...clearly I have been proved wrong.

Thanks for the cool screenshots and funny commentary! ^_^
zeowynda312: yayz[info]zeowynda312 on April 6th, 2009 12:56 pm (UTC)
"I just killed them for shits and giggles."

LAWLZ! SO Kimblee. I about fell outa my chair when I saw him. Most awesome pimptastic villain ever meets lame ineffectual throw-away villain. Sure why not? Just from what he has said so far, I already like him 10 times better than previous anime!Kimblee. That Kimblee was just batshit insane and uninteresting. Smooth and cool-headed manga!Kimblee please and thank you.

And I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT THINKS THAT AL KEEPING A LIST OF FOOD IS THE MOST ADORABLE THING EVER! They took an element from the manga and made it BETTER. (Can't wait till he adds apple pie to the list)

And yes...Ed with hair down is quite pretty but it's a bitch to color. (Still grinding teeth over the Ch. 81 color-in I did a YEAR ago)

Envy transforming into Lust, wut?? I confess I did not notice that before. Thanks for capping it!

Thanks for ALL of this really. You win at life. Do more. I command thee. XD

Kit-chan: FullMetal[info]inulovinkit on April 8th, 2009 01:38 am (UTC)
Kimblee is quite the FABULOUS villain in this series. XD That's why I kept wishing he was Pride, but as it turns out, that would have beeen too obvious.

Shame he's dead now, eh?

I DEMAND a full color page of Ed and Al eating that apple pie once they get their bodies back. IT MUST BE DONE.

D: I can imagine. Even coloring one frame of Ed is almost too much.

I'm planning on doing the whole season. XD
Holy Schnitzel: fma2 ed and al[info]ketita on April 6th, 2009 01:33 pm (UTC)
XD I lol'd.
WTF at that shot of the homunculi coming out from inside each other... needs to be OMGWTFBBQ macro'd or something
deannaj1: Get Up Lazy[info]deannaj1 on April 6th, 2009 02:26 pm (UTC)
You totally win at capping this.
I am so glad that I wasn't the only that noticed that the homunculi where morphing out of each other. That was so freaky, and even more so in your caps.
Even the Subbers called him a sexy hobo. (It then that I realized just how popular the ZOMG team was.)

I hope you don't mind me friending you so that I don't miss any other awesome stuff like this.
Kit-chan: FullMetal[info]inulovinkit on April 7th, 2009 01:33 am (UTC)
No, I don't mind. Friend as you please!

ZOMG....my FMA scanlations haven't been the same since. :(
Denise[info]drich on April 6th, 2009 03:23 pm (UTC)
Would love if you continued to cap and comment. This is easier to view at work for a quick rehash since I can't download & rewatch there.
Kit-chan: FullMetal[info]inulovinkit on April 8th, 2009 01:40 am (UTC)
Planning on doing it for every ep.
shinthecook: Stein[info]shinthecook on April 6th, 2009 05:55 pm (UTC)
EXCELLENT
Great job Kit, as always. I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT.

Argh, oh my gosh, I missed the Pokemon jokes. I'm glad my roommate and I are totally watching and laughing at this together.

I'M SHOWING HIM THIS LATER. RAAAAGH.
Anna: Arakawa squee[info]kookiety on April 6th, 2009 06:04 pm (UTC)
Heheh.
I really enjoyed these!

Winry can't walk in those shoes, obviously.
Exactly. What.was.with.that... gar.

"Hey Ed, guess who gets to be awesome next manga chapter? ;D"
:D
YES YES YES

Also - oh my - Armstrong sparkles and shines! SQUEE!

The OP was sex on a stick, hell YES!
Young!HOHO <333333

and yes - it would be much fun if you did this for the next episode too :)
Kit-chan: FullMetal[info]inulovinkit on April 8th, 2009 01:39 am (UTC)
I'm planning on doing all the eps.
Allison § Ayumi: Rua[info]koyuki_azumaya on April 6th, 2009 06:27 pm (UTC)
Oh wow, I had the most interesting thing happened when I reached the cap of I think Al's bloodseal being shown. Nothing I Won't Give by Vic Mignogna came on on iTunes XD It fit the mood of the rest of the caps well :D It was epic XD

Can't wait for more cap summaries :D
Mondai Senshi[info]mondaisenshi on April 6th, 2009 07:32 pm (UTC)
Ah, for the record, I'm not convinced Iceman knows as much as he thinks he does. But all it would take is for him to walk into the human-transmutation-ing in Ishbal and he's got enough of a reason to want to overthrow. Besides, there's a good chance that he was just playing the Father Cornello role, himself. He did have a stone, after all. Albeit a rather low-powered one... Ah, but that means he probably got it from the Homunculi. So they could have filled him in on some of the details. You know... so they could use him as a pawn.

.... and... for the record, I disagree with your previous comment. I don't find Ed with his hair down to be the sexiest thing ever. Because I swear Young-Hohenheim just stole that title.
Kayla: philosopher's stone[info]frostpebble on April 6th, 2009 07:35 pm (UTC)
So glad you're doing capsummaries of these! I always notice stuff I missed, like the homunculi morphing into each other. That's seriously weird looking. 0_o

Seeing Kimblee so early made me an incredibly happy fangirl. <3 I agree, his voice is great.

I seriously can't wait for the next episode~
lalikaa[info]lalikaa on April 6th, 2009 08:00 pm (UTC)
Nice. I want to do something like this too, but just not as much. You really covered it. xD

Everyone looks out windows when reminiscing.

That made me LOL. It's true. xD

Oh, and obviously the alchemy is read 'cause of the PS. I was all like "Whaaa...?" too, but then I was all "Oohhhh. PS."

ANd I think Issaac knew due to BONES introducing the plot. And cause he was in the Ishbal war.

THE OPENING IS WIN. WIIINNNNNNNNN. <3

And yay for AL being USEFUL in this anime! :D

I agree... I think Riza's voice sounds too girly too. :/



lalikaa[info]lalikaa on April 6th, 2009 08:02 pm (UTC)
Oh yeah! ANd the opening morphing thing... I realized that too! I watched it in uber-slowmo and I realized they're not morphing, they're all coming out of eachothers' mouths. :x

And Envy really does only have one expression: psycho-crazy. zX
