Yeah, I think it's a rather ingenious solution to the runtime issue, felt cool, perhaps kind of inspired by how first episodes of some animes (or finales) sometimes end with scenes playing while the credits role instead of an ED sequence to make for an extra-long intro episode. 
Yeah, Charred Knight, that was a pretty great scene only having known Marcoh from the first series since I'd never read the manga. |

Which other eps had extra scenes again because it seems like they only did that once and I can't remember at the moment.
Finally got to see last week's ep and Armstrong's VA did a fantastic job and got her down right away, man I love this franchise. Some of her crew were nice additions too. |

Speaking as somebody who isn't a big fan of the dub, the Briggs crew's dub VAs are pretty much perfect in their roles. Stephanie Young's Olivier, Jason Douglas's Miles, and Phil Parsons's Buccaneer are excellent.

Many of the episodes have extra scenes (in addition to or instead of previews), but most of them don't really matter in the plot. The only one AS has shown that I've noticed was EP29 (discussed previously) and it was somewhat important. EP30: spoiler[Envy enters Marcoh's cell discovers his body (about 2 sec long) - leads right into the start of EP31] EP31: Preview only EP32: spoiler[Ed & AL on a train, having small talk about seeing the snow when they arrive in the north (about 6 seconds)] EP33: spoiler[May & Marcoh locate where Scar's brother's research documents are hidden. May: "A combination of alchemies from Xing and Amestris. I wonder if there's anything in here about immortality". Marcoh: "I hope there is. Will this become a book of hope, or of despair? Let's begin the analysis!"] EP34: Preview only EP35: Preview only EP36: spoiler[Mustang is in a car with a woman. Mustang: "Kimblee?" Woman:"I heard from a friend who works as a nurse at the foot of Briggs. He was hospitalized with serious injuries, but his wounds were healed right after Lt. General Raven came to visit, and he was released right away. " Mustang: "Raven and Kimblee..." Woman: "That's about all the information I have for today." Mustang (hands woman envelope): "I'll ask for your help again when I need it". Woman: "stop by my shop again, OK?" Woman exits vehicle. A street vendor selling flowers, to mustang: "you were dumped, eh? Why don't you buy some flowers and chase after her?" Mustang: "I know when to give up" Vendor: "there are women who will dump you, but also those looking for a match. I have a message from Major General Olivier Mira Armstrong, Colonel Roy Mustang". Mustang: "I'll be buying all of your flowers". Lasts about 15 seconds. This scene continues in EP37 uninterrupted, about 1/3 through. ] EP37 (one that aired yesterday): preview only. They're pretty much there only for continuity. The ones that matter AS seems to have plans for. I love the scene in EP37 with Winry working on Ed's automail. I like the Briggs arc in general, and this episode in particular because spoiler[ pride is introduced, who is creepy as hell. SELIM BRADLEY IS HOMUNCULUS! I also like the discussion Ed, Al, and Winry have in the cell. Great way to bring her up to speed very quickly. ] |

I always knew Envy was a worm...but I didn't know to what extent!
Good episode. I enjoyed how Scar's Group took Envy down. Real teamwork. I did feel sorry for Marcoh when he discovered that his men spoiler[had been turned into Stones.] It will be interesting to see the next episode. BTW-Looking back, when Hoenheim was remembering the past and he stuck his fingers into his chest and flung out strands (drops) of blood that he Named and they disappeared...what was he doing? Are we going to find out what exactly he did there? Is what he did important to the storyline? |

Thanks again for posting that list of extra scenes DragonFire212! I thought I'd already posted the thank you but since i don't see it here you go
More great episodes. Definitely also loved the team up on Envy, glad to hear Envy'll still have some big scenes as those have always been good. And May's been surprisingly great and often hilarious so I thought she wouldn't be done yet and it's good to hear. Loved the Olivier and Armstrong scene lol. And man have the Briggs crew and their dub voices been great ever since they first showed up a while back.

Good lord Kimblee is a bastard for manipulating those Russia-...erm, Drachmans like that. I love him.
But one problem I've seriously been noticing is that Eric Vale is just overdoing it with the raspy voice for Kimblee. Dude's a sophisticated, philosophical sociopath - not the same psychotic mad bomber he was in the first series. It's like, ironically enough, there isn't a whole lot of difference in personality between Kimblee and Huey Laforet. So, when you really think about it, a softer voice is considerably more fitting. |

I have only heard Eric Vale in a few episodes, but I wished his actig came closer to the original. Japanese voice actor was absolutely brilliant and nailed the character. The dub is not... I don't know, smooth enough.
I also am not too fond of Scar's dubbed voice, seems a bit overdone, too harsh and somehow lacks depth. |

Poor Maj. Armstrong and Poor May!
One got his butt handed to him by his sister and the other was manipulated by a worm...and the only one with a real excuse is May. She's how old? About 10, or younger? And Envy is how how old? Hundreds. |

No, they aren't going to do it like that every episode. Adult Swim and Funimation didn't put those scenes in the credits. That's how the episode was made and aired in Japan. |
