The one thing that I wish they kept from the 2003 anime was during the train scene with the Elrics and Winry talking about Hughes, Ed looks out the window as they're passing a station and sees him waving. Like his spirit was saying goodbye and good luck. Ed was understandably confused but chocks it up to nothing.

[@JackDespero]

The rain line is such a classic. The panel of the Manga is arch famous.

[@PedroSteckecilo]

While I generally prefer Brotherhood to the 2004 series, they made Hughes' death hit even HARDER because a) it comes at about the halfway point of the series so we've had a lot more time with Hughes B) the Elrics basically live with them for a couple of years while they're staying in central and C) it marks the point where the series goes from sometimes serious, sometimes silly to almost entirely serious. Brotherhood never strays from the Sometimes Serious, Sometimes Silly formula.

His daughter's reaction is genuine. When my brother passed away as the result of an ATV accident. His daughter acted the same. She wasn't old enough to comprehend death, and it pained everyone when she acted in confusion. How often she would ask even after the funeral when he was coming home. 😢

[@johnj.spurgin7037]

STAAAAHP! FMAB already gives me more tears than I she'd in the face of IRL tragedy already!

[@stephanginther9051]

I once attended a funeral where that happened, but it was a lady in her 50s. The poor woman was insane. She tried to stop the burial because it was raining. She didn't want them to drown. She had to be constrained. Hearing her sobbing and apologizing hurt. I didn't know the deceased, they were a friend of a friend's relative but seeing anyone in pain and confused is hard.

[@tiryaclearsong421]

Roy admitting at the grave that a part of him is desperately trying to figure out human transmutation... He KNOWS what happens if you try, he's seen what happened to the Elric brothers, and even so a part of him wants to take that risk. Hughes was an important friend and ally.

[@palladin1337]

Such a good line that lets you know just how much Roy valued Hughes as a friend.

[@Shax22132]

Something to remember, once all the secrets of this show have been revealed: Hughes figured it out way back in Episode 10, and that's why he was killed. Rest in peace, Maes Hughes. You will be missed, but never forgotten.

[@johnbao444]

Not just Hughes, but Isaac as well, the first episode villain if the show.

[@Twingrim]

So in regards to Roy's gloves, those were, in fact, salamanders. Back in the day, when alchemy was a serious thing IRL, people thought salamanders were elemental creatures of Fire, born from Fire. This was mainly because salamanders would hang out in damp logs and skitter away when they were thrown on a campfire, or the like.

[@mihaimorar2043]

One thing I really like is the double meaning of "It's a terrible day for rain". Yes, it's referring to him crying, but then you think about the fact that this is Roy saying it. He's useless on rainy days.

[@PeterDivine]

The original FMA cut is even sadder. On the train, for a split second, Edward looks out and sees Hughes on a platform waving to him. Winry asks what he's looking at, distracting him. Ed looks back... but Hughes is gone, the platform is passed by in an instant, and he dismisses it as nothing. He never realizes he witnessed Hughes' ghost wave goodbye, one last time.

[@burezu9190]

[@KrazerTF2]

Episode 4 showed its audience that sadly anyone in this show can have something horrible happen to them and/or die even if they don't deserve it with Nina being the prime example throughout the story. Episode 10 serves as a painful reminder of that lesson in case we ever forgot with Hughes' death. This story punishes 1st time manga readers/anime watchers for having a favorite character.

[@TFoxhound]

Nothing like waking up at 6am n cry again over the funeral 😢, also "its a terrible day for rain" has so much layers, 1 of course rain as in him crying, but also his alchemy is hindered in rain making him useless, so him saying its raining is him saying he feels useless with what happened to Hues

[@alexthegs2624]

I'd just like to mention that Hughes was not weak by any means. There's a reason he has a pretty high position, he could have put up a pretty good fight against envy. But it was envy transforming into his wife that really caught him off guard, which is what killed him. Also it's really sad, because Hughes found out something so insanely important so early on in the series, and it made sense why he didn't speak over the millitary phone (didn't wanna risk the call being intercepted) and also why he didn't involve the receptionist, because he realized how dangerous what he found was, he didn't want to endanger anyone innocent, which is why he called mustang instead.

[@You-Tube-n5k]

While the context was a bit different, he even almost made it out alive in the 2003 version. He managed to slit Envy's throat and walk away. He probably would've lived if Envy couldn't regenerate and still shapeshift.

[@alexthegs2624]

@@Heiryuu I think it could have made sense in a different show if they portrayed Hughes as slightly less of like a perfect human being. With his background in Ishval and his deal with Roy, if it was a slightly less supernatural/magic based show, and more about political intrigue, I think Hughes would have made a very good infiltrator twist character.

[@procrastinatingphoenix5396]

In short, Hughes was both too smart, and too kind for the world. He figured out what was going on *far* before anyone else and was targeted for it. Then he might've been able to survive his encounter with Envy (or at least get his message to Mustang), but he couldn't bring himself to harm even the image of his wife.

[@VyceofMataMertha]

No matter which version of Full Metal Alchemist I watch, the death of Maes Hughes never fails breaking me.

[@xorngoh7303]

Maes Hughes was easily the friendliest and most well-liked character in the series, simply put he is the most wholesome character in the series. The way he went out of his way to help the Elric brothers because of how he empathised that they are orphans and were in the military at such a young age. The way he is such a doting loving husband and father is just so wholesome. The way he was killed by Envy transforming into his wife and then shooting him is just too cruel.

[@zannimask]

I was ecstatic when I saw that Alicia started this show. We all knew that the Nina episode would break her, it breaks everybody. But *THIS* is what I've been waiting for. Ooooo drink up the trauma and misery. That's the good shit. Every time I go through this show I forget just how early some of this stuff happens, because it remains relevant throughout the entire series. It's a masterclass in storytelling. This show is, in my opinion, one of the best narratives in the medium. Beyond having incredibly well written and deep characters; there's no filler, every character has a purpose, and everything means something. I can't think of another show that goes on for this long and has such a consistent and singular story. It's so well thought-out. Hiromu Arakawa is incredible and she deserves the same respect as the other greats of manga/anime.

[@johnj.spurgin7037]

Is it weird that Nina didn't... break me? Unless there are multiple ways to break. Nina doesn't make me inconsolable. It makes me monotarget homicidal. I imagine that experience as a youth has influenced my reflexive reaction to atrocities towards children as well. Hughes's death hurts hard. It hurts really hard. And yet while it hurts... it doesn't provoke the visceral, righteous fury that Tucker did.

[@zannimask]

Nah it's not weird. I think the meme of it also gets people more up-in-arms about it in retrospect than it did when first seeing the Nina scene. Besides, people react differently to different things in all kinds of ways. I still can't watch the finale of Avatar: The Last Airbender or The Legend of Korra without weeping because of how much that series means to me, but that's just me lol

[@johnj.spurgin7037]

TLA (though not TLoK) is a big memory from my youth as well. I think my first anime was probably the original digimon though.@@zannimask IDK about the meme element of it... maybe that played a part of it, but even then it was so utterly WRONG and horrifying I was horrified. As someone older and appreciative of logic though, that revulsion has evolved into vitriolic hatred and loathing. I'm the kind of guy that can look at a totally repugnant character who did horrible things and see how they got there, and that often tempers my moral outrage. Shou Tucker only enflames it further for reasons I could write an essay on. As time passes and I understood more of the context of the situation, I only came to hate Shou Tucker more. I hate him in a way I have never hated a living human being in my entire life, and I pray I never find a person that makes me feel that way IRL.

[@JetZV]

And with that, you have made it through the first 15% of Fullmetal Alchemist: the show where every death hurts and the pain never goes away.

[@VegetaLF7]

Welcome to Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. This show delivers some of the funniest comedy and deepest tragedies I've ever seen in anime. Welcome to the club, we've all been where you are now. You've made it through the first ten episodes, now the real show can begin. When the original series caught up to the manga and diverged into an original story rather than wait, Brotherhood was conceived to tell the manga's story after the original ended. This was the divergence point. The first 30 episodes of the original series recapped in the first 10 here. From this point forward the recap is over and we're beginning the true story. This is one of the greatest anime out there, but it is absolutely a challenge to push through.

[@grandstream7541]

One small consolidation over FMA; At least Brotherhood speedruns a lot of the early trauma so we don't have to suffer as much 😢

the death of Maes Hughes was one of my first ever experiences with sudden anime deaths out of nowhere. when i first watched FMAB, i didnt have the pattern recognition to see all the hints leading up to his death, and it hit me like a sucker punch to the balls.

She could cosplay as one of the homunculi maybe? I can see her pulling it off. Incorporate the literal tattoo and get it after this watchalong as a badge. Watching FMA/FMAB does shit to you man. You should wear it with pride.

This anime does have some really sad times but a good anime,nay a great anime,makes you feel for the characters. So if your crying over the sad times,smiling over the good times,and cheering for the great times it is proof its a great anime. But yeah this is definately one you need a box of tissues for

I forgot how much this show kneecaps you in the emotions in the first couple of episodes

I tear up every time and I've done it again 😭 Somehow the funeral always gets me even though I've seen it at least 10 times across FMA and FMAB. And it's always Elicia asking them not to bury her Father that never fails to do it. Well, we are past another of the major ordeals of the story now. At least the next ep is Rush Valley 😁

I love the chat freaking out when she's like "I'm a crybaby but didnt expect to cry so much" right at the stsrt of THIS episode.

Congratulations, Alicia, you have passed the FMA:B initiation.

All right, if you need a super happy, super feel-good, and super gay Anime to cleanse your palate, I vote for "Yuri on Ice".
