FMA: Brotherhood, Episode 13

[afuna]

There is a guy here, Yoki, who I don't know, but he seems to have met Edward before, and it's the kind of throwaway gag that makes me sure that he's been introduced somehow. Google tells me that he's from the mining arc from the original series, which never showed up in Brotherhood!

Anyway, episode introduces Greed, which was kinda cool. I don't think I ever reached the point in the original anime where he first appeared, so yay new material.

Now if only Brotherhood would stop assuming I am familiar with the original anime... :-)

Yeah, if this series has a pervasive flaw, that seems to be it. It's not something made for new viewers; it's something made as a weird cross between a continuation and a remix of the first one.

Exactly!

On the other hand, this is nothing new to an anime adaptation of a manga. (But ths is one of the few examples where there was a previous anime version which took off, so it seems more blatant, maybe?)
