Absolutely epic. This will work out much better animated though. Did anybody notice the "nuclear fusion" line? Is that a translation error or has Hohenheim and Advent stumbled onto how to create a nuclear bomb? Advent's reaction to everything this week was great as he just sat in a chair and barely moved half the time. I do love his "WTF Hohenheim" face. I can see him just yelling "Hohenheim" in a similar 'Khan' way.
There was some great foreshadowing coming back. Like why Hohenheim was bloodletting himself in those past chapters. Great setup. No use of any Deus Ex Machina here. She used stuff explained why back like with Barry's body to show how the body and soul are attracted to each other. Brilliant.
One thing that is interesting is that I thought for sure that Hohenheim would sacrifice himself somewhere in this chapter but since he didn't, I wonder if he's going to actually make it out of this.
Also it's interesting in that it seems Ed knew about both Scar's arms and planned a counter-attack around it.
I love the fact that Bradley's fell due to him being distracted by the light from the ending eclipse. However he wins major major points in when he used his teeth. He embodies GAR in its purest form and is easily one of the most badass villains ever. The symbolism of him dying while staring at the sky could be taken to represent how he wanted to be free but did his best with what was given him. Bradley's final words might have been a reference to Lin but also reinforce the absolute coldness of this character(he's in a way an almost perfect example of a Machiavellian personality). Notice how his hair gets longer and seems more wildly as he dies.
Now that Advent has been knocked back down to abnormal levels(as opposed to God levels), the true counterattack begins. 4 of the greatest alchemists vs 2 Homunculi(I'm not exactly sure how to classify Advent). This is going to get fun.

I seriously can't wait for the counterattack the next chapter with the Alchemists against Father. I wonder if Mustang will be able to participate since he can't see anything right now... :( x 1,000,000 for his blindness.
And finally, Bradley has met his end and I liked how he ended up passing on - sort of peaceful in a sense. Scar ftw! And also, I'm glad that everyone is alive again. What a relief.
