[Digital] Fullmetal Alchemist Episode #35

[Chris Beveridge]

Review by Chris Beveridge

Mania Grade: A-

In Summary:

There’s a whole lot to like here across the board, especially in the quieter moments. The pushback against Sloth is a lot of fun to watch, particularly with his outward personality, but there are other areas that felt far more threatening. The encounter between Major Miles and Kimblee was very chilling in a lot of ways and watching how Kimblee reacted after he left was a beautiful moment to behold. The pieces are continuing to be put together and the fairly obvious breakdown of events from the history of the country here serves to really reinforce the scope of everything. There are chilling moments to be had in this episode that are far more enjoyable than the action sequences, but the episode as a whole is again very solid as it moves the characters and the story forward, making this the best series I’ve seen this year.
