To be fair, in the context of the conversation Edward is clearly more so referring to the perjudices and grudges born from racial tensions when he refers to ignoring race. He isn't treating everyone the same, he's treating everyone as equals. Which means respecting their differences.

2022-01-15 10:19:45 +0000 UTCI think Many people think the key to racial harmony is acting as if tho race isn’t a thing and we’re all the same but that ignores the history Trauma and culture that make us who we are imo the key to racial harmony isn’t to what Ed phrases as “ignoring thier race “ it’s actually aknowlaging and respecting everyone’s differences and learning to appreciate them I love my culture it makes me who I am and I wanna learn about other people’s culture and understand other people that’s the true path to racial harmony

2021-01-29 04:16:04 +0000 UTCIt does take place in the early 1900s, though

2021-01-28 02:33:21 +0000 UTCI think Ed was just disappointed the coffee wasn't free :D
Ruma Risto
2021-01-27 17:04:12 +0000 UTCIf that were true then 100 cens would be really cheap for a cup of coffee and Ed wouldn't have reacted the way he did

2021-01-27 09:42:39 +0000 UTCI really enjoy when there are end credit scenes, makes them seem longer, haha.

2021-01-27 03:29:20 +0000 UTCYeah I'm loving the show, and the episodes seem to be getting shorter lol
Alex G
2021-01-27 03:09:21 +0000 UTCI'd definitely suggest doing the same. I forget how many eps the finale ends up being currently. Also if you can, there's a blooper track the dub people put out that you can watch after the show ends, it's not too long.

2021-01-26 23:26:38 +0000 UTCAl, the poor thing, he's been in that suit of armor body for so long now he's come to think of that wisp at the top of the helmet as his hair. Losing it and looking in the mirror feels like that "oh crap this is a bad haircut" moment. Except it doesn't grow back. He's really still retaining his humanity by thinking that way though.

2021-01-26 23:19:34 +0000 UTCI love that scene because it is true. Discrimination is sth you do when you are privileged. They can't afford it; discrimination might actually cost them their lives.

2021-01-26 11:28:55 +0000 UTCYes this is true, 1 cen is equal to 1 yen

2021-01-26 09:22:03 +0000 UTCI don't know if this is correct or not but I always assumed cens were pretty much equivalent to Japanese yens.
Ruma Risto
2021-01-26 08:55:28 +0000 UTCIt makes total sense with her character too. She’s not really racist because her whole life is in Briggs now, and that life is harsh. She values strength, no matter who you are. No time for anything that doesn’t bring progress I love her character
Nick
2021-01-26 07:10:42 +0000 UTCOlivier describing it as "the luxury of discrimination" is such an interesting take imo. Luxuries are something you partake in during your free time, not out of necessity but because you want to. It portrays it as petty and something Olivier doesn't care for.

2021-01-26 06:41:17 +0000 UTCThe ending with your disappointment to realizing it was the end cracked me up. Shows how much you are getting into the show when every episode end is pain.
Jonathan Canfield
2021-01-26 06:36:34 +0000 UTCYou're right. Thanks!
Alex G
2021-01-26 05:07:36 +0000 UTCJust need to clear something up. Amestris is the country, not the city. Fort Briggs is still in Amestris, but at it's northernmost border with Drachma. The city we've been spending so much time in before was East City [before Mustang's transfer] and Central City [where Bradley and Father are].
Mason Griff
2021-01-26 04:41:04 +0000 UTCThat last scene with Olivier drilling Ed and Ed simply replying with "I cannot answer that" is almost a perfect echo of Roy and Alex' conversation right after Hughes' death! Just like Roy, Olivier is intelligent enough to infer that Edward being unable to answer means someone even higher up command than herself has ordered the brothers not to talk.
Say
2021-01-26 04:06:30 +0000 UTCYou know a show is good when the episode ends and your just dreading to go to the next ep.
chi hong
2021-01-26 04:02:16 +0000 UTCLol yeah they are just flying by these days
Alex G
2021-01-26 04:02:12 +0000 UTCI may have misspoken. I think the message I got was not that it wasn't a genocide, but that there were atrocities on both sides during the war, which makes sense.
Alex G
2021-01-26 03:57:47 +0000 UTCThat's a good idea. I did that with the ATLA finale and I appreciated being able to watch the finale as a whole.
Alex G
2021-01-26 03:56:55 +0000 UTCYes! I didn't talk about it this episode but thinking about it later I realized how much I enjoyed that scene and his character
Alex G
2021-01-26 03:56:01 +0000 UTCHaha yeah it seems like their loyalty is to her first and the military second
Alex G
2021-01-26 03:55:34 +0000 UTCThese episodes feel offensively short and I hardcore ruined my sleep schedule because of these cliffhangers because I just couldn't stop :D
4Tom4lepus4
2021-01-26 03:49:49 +0000 UTCi'm not sure who said in the manga the Ishvalan war was more "both sides did bad", i read the manga and they may have gone more into detail about the war, but it was still clearly a genocide and was portrayed as such.
Francesca White
2021-01-26 03:18:21 +0000 UTCThat reaction to the cliffhanger lol. I’m sorry to say but as the show approaches the end there will be more. The last several episodes of the show are pretty much entirely connected. Honestly don’t think any of us would blame you for binge watching those ones
Nick
2021-01-26 02:51:08 +0000 UTCI really look forward to your face/reaction everytime an episode ends. It really brings a smile to my face
Nyashaxo
2021-01-26 02:45:07 +0000 UTCI love this arc!! Can't wait to watch it with you
Margaret
2021-01-26 02:44:23 +0000 UTCAargh! Episode 35 is one of the best episodes!
Norrin Radd
2021-01-26 02:43:59 +0000 UTCI really felt that reaction to the cliffhanger lmao. So cruel.
Etsch
2021-01-26 02:40:06 +0000 UTCThis was the cliffhanger that shouldn't have been. I did not think for a second that the show was over. This one hurt.
MikeWest
2021-01-26 02:39:33 +0000 UTCThe Briggs story arc is so damn good, probably my favorite part of the show.
Mr. White
2021-01-26 02:38:53 +0000 UTCI get the frustration tho, this episode is a lot of set up.
T-mo
2021-01-26 02:38:19 +0000 UTCThe conversation with Miles really steals the spotlight this episode for me and really helps build his character and adds so much depth to the Brigggs roster.
bl0odm1st
2021-01-26 02:29:38 +0000 UTCThe faces you make every time an episode ends are amazing! One thing I love about Olivier is that, like Roy, she's the kind of leader who inspires strong personal loyalty and I have no doubt that her soldiers would follow her into hell without question if she ordered it
