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/a 182/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!*
Now, to note, these capsummaries won't be the same as my Code Geass ones, if you were here for those.
