Fullmetal Alchemist Episode 19
"The Genuine Truth Behind Truths"
The last few episodes of Fullmetal Alchemist were good, but not great, so I was getting a little concerned about the show. Luckily, we get a good one with nineteen, with lots of over-the-top action (some of it silly, but in a good way).
Any episode of this show that doesn't fall into the pattern it established in the beginning (and in its defense, it has moved away from that lately) is a good one. Even better when the episodes are not self-contained, allowing more in depth plot development and action.
As it turns out, there's more to the Philosopher's Stone mystery than just what Dr. Marco's writings revealed. There's obviously some conspiracy going on here, and Ed and Al haven't given up hope that the stone will still be the answer to their problems.
This is probably the best show this season, so you should definitely be watching it.
