A few video ago you 2 said you wanted to know what the lyrics of the opening mean so here is the translation of the full song for you: I will pursue this dream, ‘cause I know it’s expected that I be serene Upon this winding road, in the face of the crowds that bustle all around Although it seems like I am chasing after the past What I want is a place where the sky is alive and like home to me Please try to understand the truth That this is no choice And I wish you’d stop with that look of despair You’re giving me Tears are nothing but the shape of our weakness And they won’t bring any absolution I do not see an end to this labyrinth Who am I waiting for~ And I write it down in the pages of my notebook ‘Cause I’m looking for the me that is still honest I am running but I don’t even know why From this reality To chase my wishes I’ll carry on living And I will always remember the depths of the darkness I’ll face my demons and I’ll no longer run away There isn’t a place to go I’ll lose this feeling of being so helpless ‘Cause my whole life is ahead of me I’ll quash the numbness 'Cause pain’s better than the emptiness You might also like YUI - again (Romanized) Genius Romanizations So Long, London Taylor Swift So High School Taylor Swift I must apologize, I’ve really messed up and I am so ashamed I may not say it much But I know that I make you worry all the time Back then you always could accept the things I’d done And you’re still the same today so I’ll try not to burden you But try to realize that I have closed my eyes Just because the world is too harsh And I’m willing to blind myself Rumors that they have spread about us I do not know which was the first one “We were friends from the second that we met,” Just stop with the lies already And my heart turned red with this passion And it almost consumed my very being ‘Cause in truth I’d held onto hope From this reality To chase my wishes I’ll carry on living And I really want to scream out, but can you even hear me? I’ll face my demons, and I’ll no longer run away There isn’t a place to go I still am grateful for the care you’ve shown me So I’ll find the strength to make it count I’ll always move onward Facing my friends and foes alike How do you unlock this door that has no key? Can you think of a way? We can’t go back to the beginning The story is set, and our destinies too Open up your eyes Open up your eyes I’ll lose this feeling of being so helpless ‘Cause my whole life is ahead of me And the things I once abandoned I want to try and find again Come on, just one more time To chase my wishes I’ll carry on living And I really want to scream out, but can you even hear me? I’ll face my demons, and I’ll no longer run away There isn’t a place to go I still am grateful for the care you’ve shown me So I’ll find the strength to make it count I’ll quash the numbness ‘Cause pain’s better than the emptiness

Housewife! 😈

Yup, THIS is the guy I remembered from Adult Swim: Greed! I remembered him being a smartass like you guys said and watching him again now paying more attention to the story makes me admire the character even more. Loving the direction this story is going so far, especially with Mustang getting closer to the higher ups in the government

Ooooh definitely looking forward to Wrath, that's when the whole game changes

J Sal

I'm surprised you guys didn't know she said "A housewife!", that's like her favorite iconic one-liner/phrase, she said it in the prev ep upon her introduction. Also you guys finally met Greed! He's my FAVORITE Homunculus and I loved him when I was a kid.

Hell hath no fury like a housewife scorned.

I’ve been waiting for you to get to this one, heheheheh. It provides SO MANY pieces of the puzzle, but doesn’t tell you how they fit together yet. Now you know who that mysterious third person on the wanted posters from 2 episodes ago is: Greed, the black sheep of the homunculi. And now you know that’s what they are, as well. Hahaha. Greed is my favorite homunculus, except maybe perhaps Wrath. Now let’s take a look at everything we’ve learned from Greed. 1) Talking human chimeras have been developed by the government for a while now. This means that what Shou Tucker did wasn’t revolutionary at all; the conspiracy in the government just let him act as the public face of chimera development. That means what he did to his wife, daughter, and their pets… was even more tragic and senseless than we initially thought. There was absolutely no point to it whatsoever. 2) The villains are homunculi, aka artificial humans created through alchemy. Apart from the regeneration they all share and their individual unique powers, they’re completely identical to normal humans. This means that their powers each somehow operate within the limits of human body composition. The example we got here is how Greed’s Ultimate Shield involves rearranging the carbon atoms in his body to become harder than diamond. This means there is a scientific justification for Lust’s Ultimate Spear, Envy’s shapeshifting, and Gluttony’s ability to eat anything. If we can understand them, we can beat them. 3) Greed claims to be over 200 years old, and that he had his falling out with the other homunculi “a while ago.” This means that however the homunculi are connected to the government of Amestris, it isn’t recent. They’ve been manipulating things for a very long time. 4) Seeing as they are artificial humans, someone had to have created them. The natural conclusion is that their maker would be the one they referred to as Father. However this would mean that Father has to be centuries old himself. The only way that makes any sense is if Father is either a title passed down by their leaders, or he discovered the secret to immortality. Greed really steals the show in this episode, but it would be a mistake to neglect the other events. Now Scar is back on the move, which spells trouble all around. Both our heroes and our villains are in conflict with him, making Scar a huge wild card. Then there’s col. Mustang transferring from the east to Central, the heart of Amestris and its government. He’s taken a crucial step toward his goal of overthrowing King Bradley and installing himself as the new fuhrer, greatly symbolized by him defeating general Grumman in chess for the first time. It shows that he’s finally outgrown the rural countryside and is ready to move into a far more serious, and deadly game board. Now he’s playing chess in the heart of the government, with real lives at stake. And on that note, it isn’t just Lt. Riza Hawkeye that’s devoted to Mustang. He has an entire squad of followers who are loyal to him over the military. At one time Lt. col. Hughes would have been among their ranks, but… It says a tremendous amount that Mustang has been able to inspire a squad of soldiers from so many fields and specialties and ranks to be drawn to him and his vision of the future as their cause. Back at the height of its popularity, Mustang frequently topped the favorite character fan polls, with many people wishing he was the protagonist over Ed. Now we’re getting started to see why that is.

Hell Yeah Gaming
