Everything was done right in this episode. One of those perfect episodes that had a little bit of everything- incredible high drama and human emotion, with the final moments of Fu and Buccaneer, some good action, but also some genuinely disturbing moments when the sacrifices started to get collected. King Bradley is also a whole different beast, slicing off the fuses before they exploded. The gold-tooth doctor's appearance was surprising too. The last part had most of the animation budget. The breaking down of Ed, Al and Izumi into bits were great as well as the transmutation circle, along with the awesome background music.
