This is where the series picks up the pace again.

Spoiler

Maria Ross is alive, Lust is getting killed by Roy Mustang and Hohenheim returns, plus Ed finds out about the death of the Rockbells, as well as investigates the ruins of the city in the middle of the desert

. That's a lot to take in, but finally, we're seeing progress.

But perhaps the funniest part is the boobs joke in chapter 38, which is also referenced in the extras. I love it when things get silly in the middle of serious stuff.
