I'm not sure about longest or most recaps, but Wolf's Rain has 4 recap episodes...ALL IN A ROW.  AND THEY ALL COVER THE SAME EVENTS.  Keep in mind that it's also a 26 episode series. (4 OVAs were added later, probably to make up for that garbage)

They ran out of money to complete the series and ended up needing to do the 4 recaps, but managed to get enough to do the OVAs later.

Do the ovas fill in those 4 eps? Or are they a continuation?

[Cecilff2]

They're a continuation of what happens after the last episode(Though maybe they would have been the last episodes if that hadn't happened)

Finished episodes 53, 54, and 55 of Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood.

This is amazing, this show is amazing.

Started watching FMA:B.
Al's Female VA is really irritating. Manly metal things should not sound like girls impersonating young boys.

[Leafsnail]

Well, he is a young boy.  And an older female actor is definitely preferable to a child actor.

The voice actor is obviously female. Its irritating.
For Ergo Proxy, I just pretend that Daedalus is a female (even though she/he is canonically a male), since the voice is feminine and her/his style quite androgynous, especially since the baddie overly physical toward him/her. (Anyone else done this?)
With a metal suit of armor, and constant brother statements, hard to do that. -_-

I always thought it was funny all young boys are voiced by old woman, I can hardly even tell.

[Dakk]

OH WAIT A FUCKING MINUTE.

It has been brought into my knowledge by a friend of mine that the same guy that voices Mustang also voiced Lloyd.

The very same guy.

And he's Irish.

His surname is O'Brien.

Dakk cancels think: Mind blown.

Not really unique to anime.  It's probably difficult to take a clear voice sample from a child anyway.

What.

No really, what??  Roy Mustang also sounds significantly more masculine in the dub.

If you had an epic, shapeshifting chrome arm and leg with nerves and full motor control, would you want your fleshy arm and leg back? I mean, the automail seems to be all pros and no cons, since nobody even realizes he has it on...

Yeah, I never could figure out why Ed was so intent on getting his arm and leg back... Now Al had a serious problem, nigh-invulnerability or not, but Ed was perfectly fine.

Probably because it's a symbol of a failure he'd rather forget.

Also, WHY would you possibly animate JUST the helmet of a piece of armor. IT DOES NOTHING. One of the most obvious and irritating Deus Ex Machina iv'e seen in a long time... If they were going to animate the brothers they should have used two suits of armor, to actually make use of both of them...

Screw symbols of regret! He has a cyborg arm thingy.

I like proud of family dude (hughes?). Haven't seen a character like him very often, but I know people like him.

That duo your talking about was created when they were experimenting with attaching souls to stuff and whatnot, thus its not surprising that they did it. Not to mention its partially effective since when the heads gone and it keeps talking people concentrate on the head and ignore the body which can now get up quietly and stab stab stab.

Makes a good distraction.  And they were created out of an experiment, rather than as guards, so maybe the experiment was "can we bind two people into the same set of armour?"
