Speed: Shinsen - if they prioritise it enough. These guys are a big group who try to sub as many shows each season as they can. When they bite off more than they can chew, some shows get dropped, while others get released erratically.

Eclipse is a much smaller group, and their release schedule has been very consistent, though not necessarily the fastest.

Good episode, coming from one who hasn't seen any previous material. VAs were all pretty good, and nothing felt out of place, but of course things can only be out of place if you assigned a correct place for them to begin with (for those who know each character's personality from other FMA media).

Alphonse was a biit annoying, if anything. Not so much girly, but more kid-like.

It's probably the art style, but some shots of Mustang's and Winry's face seemed rather squashed and square....

Agreed with your post pretty much. Eclipse's release was quite stunning. I definitely like their quality much better.

It is a bit weird to hear Roy Mustang's voice to be the same as Urahara/Lockon/Col Romanov's but its all good. All I can say is that the OP was awesome and it was an awesome episode!
