Full Metal Alchemist ep 5: just a bit of uncontrollable sobbing

[meganbmoore]

More from the manga, from an early volume...as far as I know, everyone on my flist who's reading or watching FMA is well past this, but...

HUGHES!!!!   Hughes Hughes Hughes!!!!!!

*cries her eyes out*

That was one of the more traumatizing manga deaths I've read, simply because he's the eager uncle/father/big brother type who never dies...he's supposed to live forever and be telling stories to kids 50 years in the future and making out his role to be much bigger than it is.

In FMA, the only death that would be more traumatizing is Armstrong...if that happens, anime or manga, I'm going to need emotional support.

Anime themes are like that...listen to them often enough, and even the most annoying ones become addictive. About how far in is Hughes's death?

It's 52 eps, right? I'll say about halfway-ish because I don't want you to know exactly when it happens. You should be surprised in case it doesn't happen the same way as in the manga.

(I knew I LJ'd about that event, and my one fma-tagged item pinpoints the episode. Go me in being so obsessed I have to write on LJ about it!...

er, wait, you did the same thing. heh.)

But it's worth obsessing and remaining traumatized over.
