Still complex. Still new stuff added to the world every volume. Still enjoying the story and characters.

This is the volume in which I realize I've forgotten some of the main plot twists from the FMA: Brotherhood anime series and, man, are they wonderful to re-read.

Also, I entirely approve of all the long-haired men in this series. It struck me that both bad guys and good guys have pony tails, which is great. 'Cause, you know, smooth-looking guys with great hair in Hollywood tend to be bad guys, it's nice to see the stereotype broken. (what? other people keep going on and on about how special the women in the series are and how feminist that is - I'm rooting for those poor, cool, long-haired guys who are underrepresented in today's egalitarian struggles.)
