Thoughts
Perfectly dubbed episode. Nothing changed in any sense. The voices were dead on and everything (I particularly like English Riza's bed scene compared to Japanese Riza's >___>). Although I must say that the title screen for "Flame Alchemist" in the dub was horribly tacky. Looked rather cheap, at best. Kinda shows FUNimation's lack of knowledge in computer effects..like standard Photoshop. That aside, the episode was definately great in the original and in English. It was very good to see the side characters get the spotlight, even if it's just for one episode. Shame we don't see the Armstrong family again.
