Also people always say its a terrible day for rain is a double pun. One to cover the tears, but also because Mustang’s powers are useless in the rain, so its a metaphor that when it mattered the most (his best friend’s life) he was useless and too late. Which to me adds so much heartbreak to the line.
What makes this so sad is that Hughes was the life of the party. He brought the smile when there wasn’t one, but when things got serious, so did he. More than anything he loved his family. We could all learn a thing or two about the example of Hughes.
What gets me every time is the one line from the little girl and it’s acted absolutely flawlessly. “Mommy, why are they putting all that dirt on daddy?” Then her begging them to stop is devastating. This show can hit you right in the feels.
I'm not sure if they read this but one of the great things about this show is that every horrible thing it does pays off in a way that's satisfying, it just takes a long time to get there.
What really hurts is that if you originally read the manga, and watched the original Fullmetal alchemist, and then watched Fullmetal alchemist brotherhood. You had to see Hughes get killed three times. And it still hurts to see it happen to this day. This show has the power to make you feel the extremes of emotion and that’s why it’s my favorite anime.
10:00 You have no idea, in the older anime we had spent 25 episodes with Hughes not 10 when he dies. And Ed and Al were there the day Alicia was born. Oh and Alicia and Ed share a birthday. Not to mention that after Ed speaks about Hughes in the train thy pass a platform and Ed sees an apparition of Hughes standing on that platform and waving goodbye. And behind it all the Ishval theme is playing (they don't use it at all in the newer anime but it's the best track of the old show). 14:15 Mustang resents Bradley for what happened in Ishval. He's got some serious guilt over what happened and the only preson more to Blame than he himself is the people who ordered the state alchemists in there in the first place.
Makes me wonder if someone has an episode guide that semi-neatly ties FMA and FMA:B together in the early series where they rushed in FMA:B because FMA had come out so recently.
Been waiting for this episode to start watching the FMA reactions, you guys didn't disappoint. It's Mustang's moment at Hughes' funeral that always gets me, those lines about rain and the way his eyes are in shadow as the tear falls down, it's just amazing
Just like Nina, a lot of people were dreading this one. Even though I knew it was coming I still felt like tearing up. Especially seeing Elicia again at the funeral.
I feel like this series is brilliant simply on the aspect of Huges alone. At first glance, people always see him as creepy, shady, and potentially plotting something due to how he acts, but it doesn't take long for people to see that he's just actually a very genuine person. It turns the trope on its head a bit of the overtly helpful guy turning out to be a traitor in some way, which in itself plays on how we tend to suspect people who are genuinely nice of being shady. And then, right as you start to feel comfortable in liking the guy as just a really great dude, wham.
@@Drforrester31 In a world of Izumis, Lan Fans, Winrys, Tricias, Madam Bradleys, Mrs. Hughes, etc., somehow Riza Hawkeye STILL not only stands out but commands the scenes she's in with her constant presence.
it's a shame there's not more time with Hughes in FMAB, i think his death was far more impactful in the original because of how much screen time he had
A few episodes ago, I likened FMA:B to an emotional roller coaster. Nina was the first real bump, and Maes Hughes is the next. He's a prime example of a character being too smart for their own good. He figured out a major piece of the puzzle that makes up the story, and only 10 episodes in. And he did it by looking at information that's in plain sight. It was something so important, it got him killed quickly and sloppily to cover it up. This series is brimming with intelligent characters, but there are always consequences. Whenever I rewatch these early episodes, it's _really_ interesting how much foreshadowing there is. You're not going to understand it until much later. All in due time...
15:21: intense show, right?! 😂 I’m glad despite the sadness, you guys are enjoying the show-- but yeah, hold on…. This is actually when it’s gets crazier, better, more intense, from here on out! 😮
Also the foreshadowing for Hughes.. what happens to him.. is so strong.. yet we don't see it coming. Hughes: "come see me next time you're in central!" *sad music plays over him saying this and walking away* *Hughes being nice and inviting Winry to stay every time* And him just being too smart. And honestly a lot more. :( still really sad
It's sad that people often get wrong the ''it's a terrible day to rain'' sentece, thet think it is only to disguise his tears but it also makes we remember that Mustang is uselles in the rain, that's the way he feel at that moment
Speaking of cosplay, I saw a really well done Barry at Otakon a few years ago, The person who did it even had the glowing eyes that the souls in the armor have. The armor itself was pretty much perfect, and he even had a (fake) cleaver too.
This is the episode that EVERYONE breaks and cries. Don't worry, if you got through this episode, you can make it through the whole series. It's worth it :)
Mustang’s memory of the war was that he knew the genocide they were committing was useless ane cruel. He was aware they were shedding blood inhumanly and his solution was to continue the work to try to be on the top. Like he lost all trust in the military and the eyepatch man during the war and decided to go after him. And the hatred and uncertainty grew this ep after his best friend died.
@@chand911 it’s literally an explanation of what happened in this ep like Mustang quite literally said it out loud lmao. Im saying it bc they were confused by it. Most people who react (including me when i watched it) catch his animosity and feeling of regret by this scene because this is the scene where he says it out loud for the first time
So I heard that when this happened in the manga the creators staff almost revolted they were so upset about Hughes and it really is one of the best instances of why we can't have nice things in anime (because they'll be ruthlessly killed off)
You two are probably going to have a cry across 1/5th of the episodes of Brotherhood. Most of the crying is concentrated towards the beginning and end of the series. Just... always keep your tissues on hand with Appa and Pabu close by for cuddle support.
1x Asking you watch the 2003 FMA series after you watch this one. It deviates from the original plot per request of the creator and has its own interesting plot and is just as good
Like ,,i love your videos, i like anime. Its just too painful to watch how sadly they did these scenes compared to 2003. Maybe its close to the manga, i havent read it. But WOW the power these scenes had in FMA 2003, and the underwhelming pacing and narrative of this show.... i just cant. I'll see you guys in Barry
Brotherhood just moves way too fast through the early chapters. It's like the best way to experience the show is to watch the original up to around Hughes's death/when the story starts deviating, and only then switch to Brotherhood.
Man this show if it wasnt enough that Hughes died they twist the knife with the funeral its like for real Studio Bones you guys are sick (jk they're geniuses by why must they hurt us so)

It's a terrible day for rain...
A wise man once said, "I don't trust anyone who never cries; that's my philosophy."
What do you mean ? It's not raining--
rain indicates he is so useless
@@anggiat7217yes, it is...

well said
“Well spoken, I couldn’t agree more”
@@TheKeller101 Really good way of putting it. I second this.
“I’m not going to cry”
FMA:B *“ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT”*
What makes this so sad is that Hughes was the life of the party. He brought the smile when there wasn’t one, but when things got serious, so did he. More than anything he loved his family. We could all learn a thing or two about the example of Hughes.
It's a shame we didn't get the episode on the train in this version. We never really got so see how good Hughes really is before this episode.
the facade of silliness as cover for his competence
@@meewec2091Yeah but episode 5 of the old anime displayed how quickly Hughes could go from lovable dork to stone cold kilelr so well.
What gets me every time is the one line from the little girl and it’s acted absolutely flawlessly. “Mommy, why are they putting all that dirt on daddy?” Then her begging them to stop is devastating. This show can hit you right in the feels.

oh, no……another terrible day for rain 🥺
But it's not raining
yes, it is.
@@DiegesisHave u guys reacted to official ATLA trailer yet?
@@DiegesisHave you guys reacted to the Official Avatar The Last Airbender yet dropped two days ago .
@@Diegesis So it is
My friends and I still reference Hughes' funeral scene as a sadness metric.
This is a classic anime moment

@@ElyonDominus Not neatly no. I have thought about it but at the end of the day it would require editing.
"Terrible day for rain" is incredible because Roy is powerless when it's raining
Rest in Power to the Legend Brigadier General Maes Hughes.
Great writing. Amazing how they can make us care so much about a character after only 10 short 22 min episodes.
Been waiting for this episode to start watching the FMA reactions, you guys didn't disappoint. It's Mustang's moment at Hughes' funeral that always gets me, those lines about rain and the way his eyes are in shadow as the tear falls down, it's just amazing
That valiant battle not to break down crying at 11:10 is admirable
Just like Nina, a lot of people were dreading this one. Even though I knew it was coming I still felt like tearing up. Especially seeing Elicia again at the funeral.
10 episodes deep and this is the most I have seen either of them cry. whew this show.

"I'm not crying, it's just raining"
Lol, don't think I've ever seen any fight back tears as hard as Arianna did this episode, looked like she was in the fight of her life.
10:57 My childhood trauma lol (just to be clear I'm talking about watching this scene not losing my father lol)
Riza is the best sidekick.
In a series full of great sidekicks

And on this day, a fiction little girl cried out and left the entire world without a single dry eye. This show is next level
I just want to remind everyone that this show is a certified 11/10. A landmark in story telling.

Also ladies good luck getting thru the rest of this series with your souls intact
The law of equivalent exchange. We must give a part of ourselves for what the series gives us.
Also the foreshadowing for Hughes.. what happens to him.. is so strong.. yet we don't see it coming.
Hughes: "come see me next time you're in central!" *sad music plays over him saying this and walking away*
*Hughes being nice and inviting Winry to stay every time*
And him just being too smart. And honestly a lot more. :( still really sad
This episode always makes me cry
I have watched this show maybe 5-6 times now... this episode never fails to make me cry
STOP PUTTING DIRT ON DADDY!!!
**Bully Maguire enters the scene** "I'm gonna put some dirt on your eye!" >:D
It's sad that people often get wrong the ''it's a terrible day to rain'' sentece, thet think it is only to disguise his tears but it also makes we remember that Mustang is uselles in the rain, that's the way he feel at that moment
Man, that meme thumbnail
"It's a terrible day for rain"
watch that "it's a terrible day for rain" scene a hundred times and still.... it is a terrible day for rain

There was a Hughes Cosplayer at the phonebooths when they were in baltimore. And I think I saw a Nina/Alexander cosplay the first year in DC
"I like, love them" Oof those are the magic words. once you love a character then you usually signed their death warrant
Armstrong is beating anyone in a muscle flex off and also the 'stache game.
R.I.P. Hughes. You were my boy Hughes!
This is the episode that EVERYONE breaks and cries. Don't worry, if you got through this episode, you can make it through the whole series. It's worth it :)
The intro is such a banger and I’m so glad you guys love it as much as I do
This show just looks turns the knife so much in this episode
I am so happy we're doing this show. Currently boiling with anticipation for ep19.
I actually hated the way they did Hughes in this version of Fullmetal Alchemist. In the first version, he went out like an absolute G.
Mustang’s memory of the war was that he knew the genocide they were committing was useless ane cruel. He was aware they were shedding blood inhumanly and his solution was to continue the work to try to be on the top. Like he lost all trust in the military and the eyepatch man during the war and decided to go after him. And the hatred and uncertainty grew this ep after his best friend died.

Re: I'm not going to cry! Yes, yes you are, everything with a heart cries (the VA playing the daughter is v good).
Arianna, "I'm not gonna cry!"
FMAB, "Challenge accepted."
Welcome to Feelsmetal Alchemist.
There are a few episodes I’m most excited for you guys to see. This is was one of them.
Yup... one of the most heartbreaking moments. Love this show!! 😅
So I heard that when this happened in the manga the creators staff almost revolted they were so upset about Hughes and it really is one of the best instances of why we can't have nice things in anime (because they'll be ruthlessly killed off)
Fun fact but roy mustang was never in the room when fuher ordered everyone to be silent and dint know about the artificial humans
"We can't have anything nice" 😂
Such a brutal episode. Thia show has the most feels
I should stop watching these FMA reactions at work 😂😂
This episode is definitely gonna break yall I know it
Welcome to your official introduction to Feelsmetal Alchemist
I freaking love Ariana personality
The way she gets so invested in the show is just great. She's expressing the feelings I had when I first saw this and cried.
I swear, just youtube this one scene and see the differance, its Night and Day
Just let yourself cry, I swear half the episode is looking away from the screen while dabbing tears from your lashes 😂
1:24
everyone i watch this scene….. it starts raining
Riza is the best ride or die girl.
Y’all gotta watch the ova episodes too
best anime i've ever watched for me
9:24
I have a theory that the bodyguard was Envy in disguise and he wanted to break away to warn them. Bradley is evil, but he's very contradictory.
No spoilers... even though they seemed to have figured it out.
I hate hearing people talk about characters they love, knowing what's coming. It hurts almost as much the 100th time as it did the first.
I still hope yall react to the 'Ready Steady Go' opening to the first FMA run. PLEASE🎶🙏🏾🎨
You two are probably going to have a cry across 1/5th of the episodes of Brotherhood. Most of the crying is concentrated towards the beginning and end of the series. Just... always keep your tissues on hand with Appa and Pabu close by for cuddle support.

I think they use this deaths as a cheeap artifact
🤌🔥🤌🔥🤌🔥🤌🔥🤌🔥🤌🔥
IYKYK
Theres gonna have to be a cry counter for these girls at the end of the show
Man this show if it wasnt enough that Hughes died they twist the knife with the funeral its like for real Studio Bones you guys are sick (jk they're geniuses by why must they hurt us so)
He's the polar opposite of Tucker
@diegesis you are going to enjoy one these episodes so much in the coming future. lmaoo
Please react to The grave of the fireflys. Amazing movie.
👍🏾
OH NO IT WENT HORRIBLY WRONG
o7 Hughes
2024. 110 years since the murd3r of Maes Hughes
Doing everything possible not to ugly cry
I don't know if these gals would be able to handle AOT. I think this a good step to prepare them.
yeah it felt like an appropriate level up after Avatar
FMA 2003 In this cap, it's better. Hurts
I agree. Hughes went out like a G in the first one. It made me like him so much more. I was really disappointed with how they did him in brotherhood.
Death of a channel: anime spam
Nah, they still do regular shows and stuff all the time, besides FMA is a great series.
No, FMAB is great and they still do plenty of other reactions. They're doing just fine.
I see you don't actually look at their channel
Every show they have done is a banger and it’s not just anime, in fact it is mostly non-anime. This is a stupid take.
cat pfp detected, opinion rejected.
this is another one of the scenes that hurts more in the original anime. they spent a lot more time with hughes before ripping him away from you.
25 episodes instead of 10.
Don't worry envy will gets his
Okay you made it through episodes 4 and 10 we should be good from here.
It's a terrible day for rain.
