Well, I'm all caught up to 78 now. All I can say is holy crap, this story is so good. =D Can't wait to go buy the rest of the volumes so I can read them at my leisure, over and over again. (instead of scans) Anyone know what that Rentan Jutsu array is supposed to do? (the one from Scar's brother's book?) If there were any hints, I missed them.

Sigh...I was thinking about the whole story so far, and I really appreated how hard all the character's lives are: Ed: Lost his mother, father left, almost lost his brother. Al: Lost his mother, father left, almost lost his life, can't feel anything. I could go on with every character! This is really an amazing story. Sometimes a wish I was a character in the mangas, so I could feel the pain they go through, and face their challanges... That might have sounded weird but it's true!

Chapter 79 translations are finally floating around out there.
All I have to say is:
OMG
I dare not post the major spoiler here, you'll hate me even if I put it in spoiler tags. It looks like she is laying the groundwork for the denouement of the story.

The new chapter, Chapter 80, was definitely one of the best ones in awhile. Where do you suppose she is going with the whole 'personal army' plotline? Who's army is it? Why would the homoculi bother, when it's obvious that they are going to eliminate all of Amestris, and it looks like nothing is going to stop them?

Oh my, chp. 80 was good! Oh fetus!Envy, you are still up to no good. And I love it! lol The "personal Army" is interesting, but it needs more expaining, I think. Hohenhiem is BACK!!!!!! YAY! lol

Chapter 80 was a nice change of pace after many someone lackluster chapters. Briggs was cool for a while, but they spent foooorevuuuur there.
I think the manga will improve. However, it's quite hard to tell how long the manga is meant to be. FMA never seemed to be the omg 10378469375 chapters kind of shounen, so it's a bit weird that we are this far in with so many surviving homunculi.

I read somewhere that Arakawa had intended for it to be 'only' 80 chapters long. Wonder if she's totally discarded that idea, or if she is running just a bit over.

WEll, most likely she's running over, but I think it's that she discarded the idea. I mean, look at Rumiko Takahashi. She said that Inuyasha was only going to be 40 volumes long, but we're wayyy past that!

How many books will there be, and how many are in the US? (I started buying them, and I rather not spend my whole life collecting them.) I dont think anyone sticks to how many CH they plan to have. -_-; It probably depends on how much money they are making.

Greedling is finally back in the story. The manga sometimes seems to lose track of characters.
