He is alive......in our hearts.
Good ep, they didn't mess it up, but I still find his death more dramatic in the original series, maybe it's the music, maybe those few minor changes. Maybe I'm just grumpy
overall - I also hoped Hughes would survive somehow :P
I have finally realised who your avatar is.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Envy is a guy
Th subject is even parodied here
I don't think there are any spoilers in that little OVA, but if you're a first time viewer of FMA or didn't watch the movie you might not want to watch it
It's really impossible to decide weather this or the first FMA is better than the other lol
The milk scene was better handled in the original but some other jokes were dealt in a better way too
I'll agree they are both great i guess
Epic fail Bill
Well Hughes was indeed an awesome character, but it was his death was one of the big factors that made the original anime so great, so i wouldn't relinquish it on this version either.
I can't help but think that it was more tragic in the first series. Maybe it was because of the special ending and the train station scene, or because i was already expecting it but it did somehow feel very inferior to me.
It came out of nowhere in the original, in my opinion. I think that's why it was so dramatic. He was one of those cool characters you just don't kill in an anime. When he died, you almost wanted to get revenge on the killers! He had a daughter and a family and everything. In the original you saw him talk about his family more, too.
True, here he didnt got enough screentime, in the original, we got used to him as the friendly comical relief bridging Roy and the Elrics.
He's right there next to Sniper Island.
They didn't have Ed seeing him on the platform at the end. That was particularly moving for me.Good ep, they didn't mess it up, but I still find his death more dramatic in the original series, maybe it's the music, maybe those few minor changes. Maybe I'm just grumpy
Lol, nice One Piece reference
Yh i mentioned that too, that scene was fantastic
That's exactly one of those few minor changes I didn't like here.
That scene, Hughes being shown more often and his friendship with Roy and Elric brothers were not as pinpointed as in the first series.
But Elicia's words about dad were as dramatic as in the first one and moved me much.
Roy's talk about rain could have stayed the same, though.
So, seeing how the story is now close to diverging from the original anime, do you have any preferences so far?
When it comes to story it may be unfair to judge Brotherhood by the same standards as the original since they had to rush the story a bit to make it interesting to both new viewers and the old ones, but there are other factors like the humor that are treated in a different way in this adapatation
They're both good in their own way.
They are rushing the new one, but we have to forgive that until they catch up. The original had Brotherhood beat on background information. Longer exams, dragged out research sessions with the Elric brothers, more about their past and Ed's general duties as a State Alchemist when not involved in some grand conspiracy.
But the humor is a much appreciate addition to the new version. The series tends to be a bit too dark without it. It was never Evangelion depressing, but it adds a nice balance to the experience. Occassionaly, the original version would get a bit too melodramtic for its own good.
It's much like the two actresses that have played Winry. While I loved the original with Megumi Toyoguchi, the Megumi Takamoto version is steadily growing on me. She's a bit more hyper, like the humor in the series, but her delivery during the serious bits is just as powerful.
I think this episode was quiet good. This show can do no wrong
I hate to get back on boobs here (we can all agree with this, I'm sure) but Pan's seem to have gotten bigger while Winry's got smaller. Did they redo the boobs for all the characters? I wouldn't make a deal of it or anything, but it's pretty noticeable.
This episode most have had the most over dramatized childbirth ever... Very amusing, though.
I don't honestly remember female characters' sizes from the older series. But at least they seem to remain reasonably consistent from episode to episode in this series, though.
lol I dont remember the boob sizes unfortunately either
Well, the old series had the third ending with Winry leaning over from the dog's point of view, and they always look big in that shot. So I suspect that's why people remember them being larger.
