Fullmetal Alchemist Episode 17

Fullmetal Alchemist

"The House Where the Family Waits"

Ahh, my favorite animeism pops up in this episode:

"We've got to keep moving forward."

This episode was better than the last, but we're sort of in a lull between plots right now, so everything's moving a bit slowly. On the plus side, the music in this episode was exceptional, and a lot more noticable than usual. There were at least three or four very good different songs sprinkled throughout.

Winry makes another appearance in this episode, and it appears that putting Al into the armor has some negative side effects (particularly his memory). This episode is kind of strange though. It's obviously trying to be touching and all that, but it almost feels like it was done just for the sake of being sentimental. There's some humor too, and it's all entertaining, it just doesn't sell it 100%.
