I don't think the author has spoken on the matter, but it's widely accepted that Envy is genderless/gender-neutral. Japanese is a very gender-neutral language, they don't use the male and female pronouns like English, and if I'm not mistaken Chinese is like that, using "tā" for he/she/it. Envy doesn't have male or female signifiers and is never referred to as a Man or Woman in the original text like other homunculi. Greed is referred to as a man in both forms, Lust is called a woman, Wrath is called a man, and Pride is called a (spoiler). I'm not sure about Gluttony and Sloth, all I can say is that they are both voiced by men. There's actually an academic article called "More Than Alchemic Reactions: Playing With Gender Norms In FMA: B", that analyses Lust, Envy, Olivia, and Alex as they perform their gender in the text.

Also, I'm pretty sure Envy is actually genderless, or at least their gender is never stated in the manga, which makes sense since Envy is a shapeshifter.

2021-01-03 06:20:53 +0000 UTCJust wanted to warn you about the clipshow in a couple of episode. It's nice though.

2021-01-03 05:23:55 +0000 UTCI've noticed that that just sometimes happens with patreon; with pretty much any creator I've followed.

2021-01-02 10:37:41 +0000 UTCThis vid didn't show up in my patreon feed fyi, had to access it through the email notification. Not sure if that's something you can control or if it's a bug with the site.

2021-01-02 06:48:10 +0000 UTC"In the Belly" is such a great title for the episode, because it refers to both Roy and Ed in a metaphorical and literal 'belly of the beast' respectively. Plus Bradely's line at the end of "Would that be so bad?" really spoke to what you were talking about with the episode humanizing him so much, while also being a rather explicit threat from Wrath. Overall great episode and a really fun reaction.

2021-01-02 06:38:23 +0000 UTCHappy new year Alex! And yeah, things continue to develop at a breakneck pace. This part of the show is my favourite for that reason. King Bradley's voice has such a texture to it, they really did select the perfect guy to voice him. Looking forward to how things turn out! See you for the next one :)

2021-01-02 05:59:56 +0000 UTCAlso I think Patreon is glitched. These last two vids aren’t showing up in my post feed. Weird

2021-01-02 05:37:14 +0000 UTCYou were right!

2021-01-02 04:11:36 +0000 UTCIt's called Tea Time by Ofshane, from YouTube's free music library. Random point but I feel like YouTube has put more thought/effort into their music library recently. Great scene. The guy really threw Mustang under the bus. Bradley's reaction was also perfect.

2021-01-02 04:11:23 +0000 UTCSee i told u the next couple eps were gonna be intense XD

2021-01-02 04:06:36 +0000 UTCUnrelated but what’s the outro music in this video? It’s pretty good. Also, that scene with Roy, when Bradley walks in “let’s suppose I was actually a homunculus... well now, would that really be so bad?” Absolute chills along with that haunting music
Nick
2021-01-02 03:52:58 +0000 UTCI was wondering who that was
Alex G
2021-01-02 03:46:50 +0000 UTCIt's funny how Envy complains about Ling fighting "dirty" while all Envy ever does is pull dirty tricks on people

2021-01-02 03:06:53 +0000 UTCOne thing I found interesting was that in that scene when Ed is in Gluttony's stomach, it shows a skeleton wearing the robes of the church of Leto, from way back with Rose and Father Cornello. My guess is it's the henchman that Gluttony ate and not Cornello, since it had hair, but still... ergh... I so can't wait for you to see the next couple of episodes! They are SO good! Enjoy!

2021-01-02 02:29:38 +0000 UTCThat's right. Didn't think to put those in the same category

2021-01-02 02:15:59 +0000 UTCLust had the ultimate spear(her claws) and Greed had the ultimate shield
