The chapter brings in a few story points from the past, including a returning character. Tim and Patrick discuss the moral ambiguity of nearly every character -- no cardboard cutouts, these characters (why do we end up liking some really bad guys??) -- and sniff out some more questionable translations. The truth is revealed -- but is The Truth?2021-12-2051 min
Full MANGA Alchemists"The Eye of the King"Send us a textEd and Al's confrontation with Greed and his gang is broken up by a sudden, violent raid by troops led by none other than President Bradley.

Full MANGA Alchemists"A Fool's Courage"Send us a textGreed wants an, ahem, "equivalent exchange" with Ed: knowledge of how to bind a soul to an object, in exchange for the secret of how to make a homunculus. Will Ed do the deal? Will Armstrong come to blows with Sig? Will Izumi beat the crap out of Sig for talking with hostesses? Tim and Patrick discuss Fullmetal Alchemist chapter 28, and some spots in it where the translation hurt - or improved on - the intended meaning -- as well as digressing into their own separate stories of meeting sumo and K-1 wrestler A...2021-11-2249 min
Full MANGA Alchemists"The Beasts of Dublith"Send us a textChapter 27 of Fullmetal Alchemist may be the funniest yet! It's a master class in character-based humor that isn't forced, and works in combination with more serious points made, as Izumi goes in search of kidnapped Al, and Ed encounters some old...acquaintances. Tim and Patrick discuss the story, and some bits of inaccurate translation in the Viz English edition!2021-11-0800 min
Full MANGA Alchemists"To Meet the Master"Send us a textEd leaves to get his overdue annual assessment by the military; while he's gone, Al gets kidnapped by some mysterious beings.

Full MANGA Alchemists"Master and Apprentice"Send us a textEd and Al’s explanation of their “origin story” is over and we’re back in Fullmetal Alchemist’s present. How does their teacher, Izumi, respond to their tale of trying to resurrect their mother, and their cosmic punishment for it? The answer has a lot to do with a Japanese word that wasn’t translated in chapter 25’s title: “kejime.” This time, Tim and Patrick suss out the meaning of this word and how it explains Izumi’s bifurcated reaction.2021-10-1153 min
Full MANGA Alchemists"Fullmetal Alchemist"Send us a textEd and Al's origin story flashback concludes as we see how Ed became a state alchemist.

Full MANGA Alchemists"Knocking on Heaven's Door"Send us a textEd and Al's flashback continues with the story of their attempt to bring their mother back from the dead.

Full MANGA Alchemists"The Masked Man"Send us a textYoung Ed and Al are forced to spend a month on a "deserted" island, to prove they're worthy of Izumi's training.

Full MANGA Alchemists"The Brothers' Secret"Send us a textAfter being cornered by Izumi Curtis on the issue of their current armor-and-automail look, Ed and Al start to tell their story with this issue, finally revealing their "origin story" to the reader nearly two years after the original run of the Fullmetal Alchemist manga began.

Tim and Patrick discuss several good reasons for doing so in discussing chapter 21!2021-08-101h 01
Full MANGA Alchemists"The Terror of the Teacher"Send us a textAs Ed and Al reunite with their teacher Fullmetal Alchemist chapter 20 alternates between comedy and gut-punches.

Full MANGA Alchemists"The Value of Sincerity"Send us a textChapter 18 provides a reminder of what Ed and Al have lost, and frustration: what good is power if it doesn’t help you when you need it?

Full MANGA Alchemists"The Boomtown of the Broken Down"Send us a textEd, Al, and Winry are in Rush City, the "auto-mail engineer's mecca." It's quite a comedic, slap-sticky chapter of "Fullmetal Alchemist." It seems like a diversion from the story, but Arakawa is always tricking us into thinking that. Tim and Patrick try to sort out any deeper meanings.2021-06-2139 min

Full MANGA Alchemists"A Home with a Family Waiting" w/Alice JaggersSend us a textChapter Nine of Fullmetal Alchemist isn't action-packed, but it gives us a lot to chew on regarding injuries and healing -- physically, mentally, emotionally.
