"I'm gonna watch another episode here"
Oh god I'm so sorry
Yeah, that did not end well :'D
No kidding
*grabs popcorn*
for some reason I had it in my head that this was gonna be that episode
Thst was my first thought too. I wish I could have told her not to watch another. At least not that day.
Armstrong is very manly, but he has ZERO toxic masculinity. Thats why he is special.
The winry screaming at Ed is what Ed imagined she would do lol. She actually didnt yell at him that time
@springdeerling7866 have you met Ed? all he does is mess up his automail arm and constantly worry Winry to no end!
@rickymoranjr9609 There is the bottom of a thought bubble when the camera pans down, so she doesn't yell at him. Him constantly making her worry does not change that.
@@kevinkijowski5980 true
Thank you for letting us into your life today and let us know about your sister. You didnât have to share that deep personal thought with us but you trusted us enough to be vulnerable for a moment. Sorry for your loss â¤ď¸đ
Armstrong is very non-toxic masculinity. Heâs strong and massively built, but heâs compassionate, openly affectionate, and not afraid to show his feelings.
Thereâs a reason why the series gives a WWII vibe. The series was intentionally set in a Eurocentric fantasy world, and a lot of the charactersâ surnames are based on military vehicles.đ
More ww1, in fact I seem to recall the year their mother died was given as 1914 on the tombstone.
â@@DaDungea lot of people forget that more people died of disease and pandemics, from non combat causes, than died from murder or combat related infection like trench foot.
As brutal as the war was, or was only about half as bad as the diseases that ravaged the world's right then.
Toxic masculinity is not a real thing XD
It was just invented as a term for prison inmates.
Hughes is such a good guy, 100% probably the best character that isn't a protag
Ah... subtle... good work!
Am I a bad person for laughing so hard when she said âdonât turn into you dogâ to the little girl in the hospital? đđđ
No, without context it is quite a funny response to seeing a child
Isn't that a little boy or am I seeing things wrong?
Ed's phone call with Winfrey is a bit confusing. He is actually imagining her yelling at him, because he doesn't know about the missing screw and she is unexpectedly nice because she feels guilty. Her yelling is in a thought balloon coming from Ed, but it's easy to miss.
It took me a good chunk of episodes to realize that anime isnât really showing violence, theyâre showing feelings and insecurities in those moments.
TIL, all the times I've watched this and never noticed, damn.
@@funnylilgalreacts itâs basically the equivalent of toph in ATLA punching people in the arm to show affection. Winry yelling and hitting them with the wrench is an act of love lol
@@funnylilgalreacts It's an anime-ism, shonen anime does it's own type of cartoon violence that shouldn't exactly be treated as part of the narrative. Especially when it's a female character doing the hitting. It's somewhat justified when she hits Al though since he can't feel pain. But if she really brained Ed with a wrench as often as she does he'd be dead or braindead.
May your sister's memory be a blessing.
fun fact, the author of fullmetal Alchemist grew up on a dairy farm. hence the "you got to drink your milk" scenes.
Isnât her name also Hiromu? I distinctly remember her drawing herself as a cow in the authorâs page of the manga
Edit: Yep. Just looked at my copy of the manga. She drew herself as a cow in glasses and panties and wrote fighting panties at the top.
Her legal name is *actually* Hiromi Arakawa; she uses a traditionally-male given name to attract the young male audience.
So⌠Japanâs equivalent to JK Rowling. Except you know, hopefully-*probably* not a complete garbage human being especially given her deeper story themes.
@borjankosarac3645 Thatâs not a fair comparison. JK Rowling is a talentless hack writer who makes her characters act in nonsensical ways to forcibly make the plot work, and the worldbuilding is legitimately awful.
â@@critica77y77what? You're not a fan of "the slaves like it actually" being a joke by everyone?
Reminder that Al is 14 right now. 14 year olds are easy to manipulate.
Specially a 14 year old so kind hearted and innocent as Alphonse
al is 12. he hasn't grown in 2 years
@@emkalina Mentally/emotionally he has
@@GodBear97 it's an interesting topic. i don't think it would be possible for him to get emotionally more mature without the hardware that allows that and he is clearly portrayed as much more childish than ed despite their original age difference being not that significant. ed is a moody teenage but al is still a kid with no any other explanation really
@@emkalina I'd argue that Al is more emotionally mature than Ed in a lot of cases. Besides, he clearly has the capacity for feelings, thoughts and memories - I'd say he has what's necessary for emotional growth
5:28 It's sad and wild that saying "I'm against genocide" is political nowadays. It's why we need stories like this to remind people exactly what war is.
but still, the blood is still spilling all the time
Yeah, I don't care who you are, I don't want you and your ilk to be exterminated. Thats not a hard thing to say for decent folk.
It became "political" when wars are mislabled as such by the losing party, even when it initiated it. What's happening in Darfur is a genocide, yet no one knows about it. Why? Because genocide is being used as a rhetorical weapon against a state that can't be defeated militarily by the weaker aggresor. But it can be defamed.
Yeah, it's absolutely insane to see violent protests on college campuses in America calling for the extermination of the Jews... And yet while they stand with an openly genocidal terrorist group that killed over a thousand innocent people, they have the unmitigated GALL to call Israel's retaliation a "genocide..."
Absolutely insane that we have somehow allowed colleges to indoctrinate an entire generation of Nazis right here in America...
"Japanese is a fast language" to be fair, she IS rapping...
Scar actually only went for ed cause he's a state alchemist he didn't know he had done human transmutation. Scar just thinks all alchemy is wrong
Likewise, he agreed not to go after Al because Al is not state alchemist
Exactly. From his POV, he is basically removing Amestris' ability to use weapons of mass destruction, which is exactly what the combat alchemists were in the war.
@@SnowyWolborg yep. His horrific experience of how the state alchemist used alchemy in the war on top of his religious beliefs already not reslly condoning alchemy. Just fueling his hatred and holy mission even more
I wish you kept the scene of young Ed's unable to ask Al if he blamed him for everything, it breaks me every time đ˘
A couple of points of clarification:
1. There are no police, really, just the military. The military uniforms are blue, but they are not police. :)
2. Many state alchemists (as well as scads of normal soldiers) were sent to Ishval during the Extermination. Mustang, Armstrong, and Kimblee were just a few.
3. State alchemists automatically hold the rank of Major. Ed (officially Major Elric) actually outranks Sergeant Brosh and Lieutenant Ross, which is why they apologized in advance before slapping him. :)
They don't show up frequently or have any real role in the series, but there are military police, they are the ones who are in the black uniforms. But, considering that this entire country is a military state, there is effectively no real difference, to be honest.
"Am I attracted to this animated character?" Welcome to being an Anime fan.
I know she'd already watched the next episode. So, yeah, everyone deserves someone like Hughes in their life...for like, 10 episodes...
My heart goes out to you Angela! Itâs been 25 years since my wife lost her brother, and the anniversary of his death still brings pain to her. Thank you for all you do on your channel, but I hope you find time for yourself today!
Al doubting Ed actually makes more sense in the original anime because there were things Al couldn't remember from his childhood that Ed and Winry could. This started back when they returned to Risembool. Btw...prepare for heartbreak soon
Angela really watched episode 10 right after thatâŚ
I know you had no way of knowing whatâs in store for 10, but putting yourself through this must have been rough.
Canât wait to see the reaction.
Also, what a waste to reapply makeup đ
I absolutely love this show, but it is going to be brutal on Angela throughout. The story is absolutely worth it though.
It was a terrible day for rain
Oh no, so that happened.
â@@funnylilgalreactsYou still get to look forward to Ed and AL finding out. Lucky...
Btw, in anime world, when the show just starts with an intro, you know it's gonna be a "big" episode. The next followup is when there's no intro at all and you see just credits and etc show up top while the scenes are playing, that's the equivalent of "Oh shiiiii, what's gonna happen?!"
ehhh I think sometimes this is true but not always. Sometimes thereâs just not much to get into before the episode starts so you donât get a cold open. The no intro thing is definitely indication of importance tho, since it means they didnât want to waste any runtime on non-story moments.
âI love Hughes!â
*he pulls a gun on little kids*
đđđđ
He was, in fact, not okay
Good trigger discipline though. Didn't point it at them.
@@SapphireDragon357 I mean true, buuuuuuuut still đ
An artist named AmaLee produced a cd called equivalence that has all the songs translated to English, while still maintaining the rhythm and music of the original Japanese. That alone was Very impressive to me. I believe they are all available on CZcams or music streaming services, but small spoilers are possible.
Hughes foreshadows a lot in this episode - both the future plot and some of the backstory. If you're interested in Hughes as a character, this episode is a good one to pin in your memory to reference as the series progresses.
As far as Al being "easily" swayed by Berry, you have to remember that at this point he's been trapped in the armor - which is complete sensory deprivation except for sight and sound - for four years at this point. Not only that, he and Ed have lived a very active life during that time, and he was having trouble remembering kids who he used to play with when he and Ed went back home in the prior episodes. Consider how much we clearly remember about our lives when we were ten years old. Consider how it must be to find yourself with an artificial body yet having memories of being a live, flesh and blood human boy. Consider that Ed is shown throughout the series to be impulsive and a bit selfish, so it's not out of bounds for Al to wonder if maybe Ed created himself a loyal little brother as a companion and ally in his quest to restore his body.
Trauma can turn our minds into nightmare playgrounds, and I always thought Al was the strongest character in this series just for the fact that he didn't fall into to sheer madness.
I canât really determine, what would be a more distressing truth to find out or rather lie to be gaslighted into believing if I were in Alâs position, because both scenarios that come to mind are pretty bleak.
For example the idea of merely being an artificially constructed conscious bound to a suit of armour and given memories of events that never happened so that I would assist my creator/so-called sibling in achieving whatever task I was created for without question, that idea is distressing on multiple levels, whether it be the truth or a horrid lie, if it were the truth that would mean everyone I thought loved me was in on this deception, and leaves open the possibility of being destroyed and replaced, with this new artificial life being unaware of the horrifying truth, and potentially subject to the same horrible fate if the truth were to be revealed to them, on the other hand if that were a lie as it was in Alâs case, I donât think an apology and a brief fight with everyone who loved me would undo the burning of the bridges between us like it did when Al did it. The alternate scenario is based around the idea of not actually being my soul bonded to a suit of armour by an older sibling but instead unbeknownst to the pair of us, I would be an artificial construct, unintentionally created and operating as a stand-in for my original self, with my siblingâs memories being the basis for my recreated personality and voice, presumably the recreation though unintentional was meticulous given that neither of us noticed a difference until fairly recently. Now assuming weâre operating in a version of the scenario where it turns out to be the truth, if we had our little falling out, fight and reconciliation and came out of it believing the idea to be nothing more than a cruel lie to throw us off our game and turn us into easy prey, only to discover that Barry stand-in was unintentionally right about my status as a recreation of myself, itâs distressing and disturbing imagining the results of said revelation, assuming that the original soul became part of the universe/world/God/Truth and was irretrievable would my sibling fall to despair? Or in the case that it were a lie, but I was operating under the assumption that it was the truth then the idea of not in a sense being me would be unbearable, even if we proved said idea was nothing more than a fabrication, that sort of thought tends to linger and lead to far worse thoughts.
Youâre comment about your sisters takes heart to admit. I appreciate you letting us in. Your gonna love this show as it progresses
Girl yes i love hughs. Him in civilian clothing! I think youre lucky not to have watched other anime, cause when people meet hughs theyre soooo suspicious of him and think he's got nefarious motives because of how sweet he is. So it makes alot of people distrust/dislike him. And then they watch episode 10 and feel so bad
I don't remember being suspicious of Hughes in the 2003 anime. The art in that is better in some ways nd I like the yellow transmutations over the blue of Brotherhood, wasn't that fond of the ending of the original series though.
You build up alot more affection for Maes in the old anime too, I watched the Shamballa movie only because his counterpart was in it.
Poor Morgan never lived that down lmaođ
The use of the word FĂźhrer, the German word for Leader, is completely intentional. As you said it makes you think of Nazi Germany, which the creators took a lot of inspiration from when creating the nation of Amestris.
Indeed; of course, the nuances of Amestris have yet to be fully revealed.
Just as the Ishvalans can be considered analogous to any persecuted ethnic group (as the Third Reich targeted everyone - the Jewish were just the most prominent victims), we can also draw more modern parallels in their genocide; Arakawa being from northern Japan was more familiar with the plight of the Ainu (the First Nations people of Hokkaido) than most of her colleagues, but the manga also happened to start publication just before the War on Terror and their looking Middle-Eastern is eerie.
One other detail worth mentioning is that Germany, in its history, structure, culture, etc, are brought up in anime more frequently compared to many other cultures. Not all anime will be explicitly trying to draw a parallel like this show does, some take those German references in a very "out of left field" direction, so German references in anime aren't always going to be something to dread.
â@@borjankosarac3645The motive force of the Nazi rise to prominence was, however, the already existing antisemitism. They basically blamed everything they considered "wrong" on the Jews and, because of that, they were the main target of the Holocaust. One of the biggest book burnings was of materials from Magnus Hirschfeld's Institute of Sexology where he performed gender affirming surgeries and lived with his boyfriend, because he was Jewish and loudly queer at the same time. Fortunately, Magnus was able to get out of the country before the institute was ransacked.
Also, king is not part of the title. When I first watched it I thought Bradley was his first name and his title was "fĂźhrer king" and I only recently found out king is just his first name lol.
"I like Hughes, he's so cute"
Well, shit.
The irony of the last thing you talked about before saying "I'm gonna watch another episode" hurt my soul.
Ouch
My guess on Ed's approach to the Winry's situation is that he can't allow himself to recognize that they do love each others, not - just -out of timidity, but because acknowledging it now would put a stop to his quest. And right now it's what is his most important drive. To fix his brother's situation. He can't allow himself to be happy with Winry until he made it all right.
Sorry to hear about your sister. I'm glad that you're taking time to analyze things. I've watched FMAB countless times, and it's interesting looking back at these early episodes. Not just because of the tons of foreshadowing and setup, but how it examines themes of communication and family dynamics. It's something that crops up repeatedly throughout the show, sometimes in unexpected ways. 31:39 And yes, Hughes is arguably the most attractive male character on this show. He's a great family man, highly intelligent (both cognitively and emotionally), kind, and down to Earth. In a world filled with war, alchemy, and monstrosities, someone like Hughes is essential to keep things in perspective. The Elrics and especially Mustang are lucky to have him on their side.
Just as a brief correction. The slicer brothers werent treated as animals jusy as the armor suit. They were treated as animals their entire lives. Kinda goes with the whole mass murderer thing. Thats why they were so shocked by Ed treating them with any level of humanity.
17:35 What Hughes is saying is 100% true, most men would rather suppress their problems and throw on a fake smile rather than stress someone else out about issues bothering them.
I've even had friends tell me they broke down and vented to a wall rather than their girlfriend or wife because they have had issues from times they did open up weaponized against them during a fight.
One I've personally had directed at me. "I'm not surprised your dad killed himself, I wouldn't want to be stuck raising you either"
Holy shit I'm sorry to have learned this, you absolutely didn't deserve that no matter what your argument was about.
That personal one is dark af, mate...
Wow, man. Christ. Yeah, I'm kinda sick of the whole "stoicism" thing as a guy. Like yeah, guys should be able to set aside their emotions in favor of logic if they need to, but damn it, we deserve safe spaces, too. Our significant others are supposed to be that for us.
that sucks man
as a guy i do think that the attitude of bottling up our difficult feelings to avoid bothering other people is not the healthiest and it's something we need to unlearn, and shows like FMAB with this kind of lessons do not help
but of course when someone has had an experience like yours, i can't blame you at all, that really sucks, i hope you heal from that someday
I'm sorry bud. two of my closest friends of 20+years killed themselves and I had that used against me as well.
I lost 3 brothers and 3 sisters before any of them turned 36. I'm the baby brother of my biological family. I haven't come to grips over them. Bless you and your sister. Your fans love you very much â¤
Wow. The Dr. Who episode, this episode, plus the date you filmed definitely makes for a terrible day for rain. Thanks for sharing.
Good news is I didn't hear a single question you asked that doesn't get answered. So you at least have that to look forward to. đ
Armstrong is the peak of masculinity: strong, manly, proud, but not afraid to full on SOB when he hears things that make him sad, and he ALWAYS puts the civilian's and younger people's lives before his own.
there's not an ounce of negativity in that man, and if there is he uses it to pound criminals and bad guys into the dirt in the name of justice. he is absolutely wonderful
also i have been listening to Japanese and learning on the side for years now (i make no claims of fluency but i think i can understand a lot of basics) and i STILL dont think i can sing this anime's intro song without stumbling over my words LMAO. it's ridiculously fast
Man, it took me like 9 times of watching this show to finally notice Izumi & Sig in that shot walking behind Whinry. It's nice to see that other people totally miss it as well.
Brosch and Ross were so apologetic about their lecture of Ed because he technically out ranks them.
"I'm gonna watch another episode here..."
Me: NO DON'T DO IT!!!!!
Bless this woman's heart, sending you so much love đđđ
Sorry for your loss funnylilgal- sending you all the supportive vibes during the tough time.
With your analytical style, this is the perfect series for you, and I'm glad I stumbled onto your reaction to it a couple of weeks ago.
Glad you love Hues, hes pretty universally loved!
Hughes has a point. Even me, when people ask me if something's up, or how I'm doing, my go-to response is "haha yeah, i'm good, just a little tired"
I don't think I'll ever not fall back on that response as a defense mechanism.
Oh god were already at this episode?
My heart can't handle.
btw now that you're at this episode Hughes is now your anime dad. I don't make the rules. He's everybody's anime dad.
Hughes is the best
This show packages mystery-action-adventure story telling with a very high level of emotional intelligence.
there are two types of people in this world. those that love when armstrong takes off his shirt and those that... actually... there's only one type of people in this world. đ
There's a deeper tragedy with Al going on, I don't think a lot of people think about. Yeah, he can't eat, can't feel the rain, but I think we often don't realize how important sleep can be. How often have you been upset about something, and eventually were able to fall asleep, and once you woke up, felt better, at least to some extent, Al can't do that, quite the opposite as Al just has all that time to think..
We all love and adore Hughes, you are not alone there!
Everyone's reaction when Winry hits Al with her trusting Wrench is still hilarious to this day! 𤣠never underestimate the Wrench
I may have said this before, but the non-spoiler promise I can make you is that any question youâre left with about this show will be answered. Itâs a great quality in a show. The first TV series didnât manage that but the author of the manga had it planned out much better.
And there will be more sibling relationship stuff in this, so saddle up for that.
There are a few questions that I've never figured out throughout any of the continuities, but overall FMA was definitely a very thoroughly detailed and cohesive work.
The rapid hand pats to the opening music is very reminiscent of the bongo cat meme. đ
She just keeps going on about how comforting Hughes and his family is.
Oh, this is going to be sad.
Loving your reaction to this show. This is a top class anime. About Barry's influence over Al; remember that Al is a child. Only 14 in the present show, 10 when he was put into the armour. Kids tend to believe what they're told more easily. On top of the fact he's a walking suit of armour. Imagine yourself in that situation. A real mind F even for an adult. But yeah Ed and Al's sibling relationship is really special indeed.
As i would tell my sister's "continue to stay strong sis"
Im sorry for you loss. I dont have any siblings, at the same time i understand the feeling of losing a loved one. You are so strong and I admire you
Good manga moments not featured in show:
When Winry arrives, Ed is downright *mummified* in bandages. She's horrified, and he explains that his actual injuries weren't *this* bad until...
(cuts to flashback of Armtsrong tearfully giving him a hug)
I'm glad that Scar is a very complex character. He's not bad, he just wants revenge for his people.
Sorry for your loss - sometimes 21 years is no time at all. Hope you made it through the rest of the day OK.
Sorry about your sister...I know the feeling, mine passed away in 2022 and yesterday was her Birthday. But I'm loving your X-Men and FMA: B reactions
I'm so glad they didn't drag out the drama between the brothers for more than just an episode. Despite Al's youth, I always felt like it was such a forced plot point to make Al even consider the possibility that Barry was telling the truth. It would be so irritating if they'd instead tried to drag it out for maybe half a season like so many other anime series would have...
If I remembered correctly, they dragged Al's doubt in the 2008 version. Because show runners had so little manga materials to work with, so they prolonged every plot point they could find. Even Tucker was alive, and grew donkey ears (I'm not kidding)...that's why I can never take the 2008 FMA seriously.
Yeah, it's my least favorite plot point but it resolves quickly and the resolution brings with it a wise message so I'm willing to forgive that the instigation feels ham fisted.
@@blueor2003*
My brother too passed away 21 years ago. Sorry for your loss.
The agony of not spoiling things is...GAH!!!
Omg I just watched the outro, and I totally hear what you mean with the universe throwing things at you at the worst times like on the anniversary of a sibling's death. I just wanted to say how much your videos genuinely make me smile every day, and I really hope you continue taking good care of yourself too because you deserve it! If you ever need a break or anything, we totally understand and want your wellbeing to come first always! :)
Holy... I've watched this show so many times and just am I realising that at 14:14 Izumis husband (who we haven't met at this point) walks past the camera.
And Izumi herself
I always thought that Barry the Chopper wasn't smart, but being the same kind of person and a prisoner, he's had all this time to think and wonder on his existence. That is why he can weaponize all those doubts, and his insanity becomes his rock that gives his existence meaning. Al isn't insane but he also has the long night to dwell.
I love drinking milk and Iâm 6â4 and my dad hates drinking milk and heâs 5â2. So there must be some correlation there
Ooof!!! My condolences for your loss...and for watching the next episode with that loss on your mind...
If you wanna get an idea of what the Ishvalans represent, look up the Ainu people.
I'm very sorry about your sister. That is a loss I cannot imagine. Sending the best of wishes on a difficult day. I very much like your channel and wish you all the best!
Condolences for your sister, I hope you have plenty of good memories of her
22:16 Her: Somehow I like him?! (Scar)
Me: Oh my gosh, it's happening.
Re: how easy Al was to manipulate. Remember, he was very young when his mother died and not much older (a few years) when Ed and he attempted the Human Transmutation. At the time of the "current events," he would only be 14. So you're talking about a 14 year old (which as somebody already mentioned is already very impressionable under normal circumstances). Add in the fact that he's lived a very traumatized life from a young age and the fact that he hasn't really gotten to experience a normal childhood or adolescent years. Plus the fact that he's so pure hearted and naive. You have the perfectr recipe for a "easy mark."
So sorry for your loss that you shared. Thank you for being vulnerable. I really appreciate your reactions
I understand the kind of thing you are going through [the anniversary of your sister's passing] - since the experience is different for each person and each time, I don't feel I can say I know what you feel, but I have a lot of experience with that kind of feeling, for me I'm a few weeks past one anniversary and a while before the next - I have several. Not much one can say other than it's sad - and I hear you and I care.
Stay strong girl! You're never alone
I jut read that you reacted to EP 10 right after and... I'm really sorry. I hope your okay. I know your Sisters passing is quite a few years back now, but I still wanna give you condolences and hope that With every year, the pain gets a little less and the good memories get a little stronger
My most sincere condolences for your sister.
I'm pretty sure that the anger and violence thing is not necessarily something that's like actually happening. It's more of a ultimate expression of their internal State.. really kind of hard to explain but all emotions in anime are turned up to 11.
Well... Amestrians are commonly Blonde and blue eyed for a reason. Armstrong is very much a good example of non-toxic masculinity. He is very 'manly' but he's not afraid to show emotions and he encourages everyone to examine/face their own. Hughes is 100% dad goals... well 90% of the time. Oh shit, this episode is always a little rough... have a cyber-hug. Scar is, at his worst, interesting. It's easy to see things at least partially from his side but because of his extremism it's easy to think "he's going a little far". Honestly, and in some ways you brought it up yourself but not quite, he's got soo many similarities to Magneto. And evil or not Magneto is an amazing character.
So without spoiling things I'll say this about Kimblee/state alchemists: They're a part of the military... kinda like Green Beret as compared to the Army (not the best analogy but). They are not a *separate* organization or group, they answer directly to the government and Bradley. That's why Ross and Brosch were kind of afraid of reprimanding Ed, he is a higher rank than they are so it was (at best) insubordination. Luckily Ed has his mature moments and doesn't really think of himself as part of the military... like he knows he is but the number of shits he gives couldn't be lower.
I'm sorry for ya lost truly anime has a wonderful way of putting thing in perspective n fleshing out all kinds of emotions again I'm sorry you lost your sisterđđđżđ
19:30 Yes, it's an anime-ism, violence is not treated as serious when it's done by a girl in Shonen Anime. But it is somewhat justified when it comes to Al, he can't feel pain, all Windy striking him has is shock value.
Brotherhood indeed....
just now catching up on your fmab reactions on my day off of work. so glad youâre reacting to this masterpiece of a show; this and atla are my top two shows of all time. youâre exactly the type of person i would expect to enjoy both, as you seem to be an empathetic person who enjoys characters and figuring out their motivations. so sorry to hear about your sister. even years after the fact, losing a loved one continues to impact us, and media like this can really bring those feelings to the forefront. hope you have a lovely day.
So you just watched Father's Day, huh? God that episode is intense at the end
regarding the time travel to stop someone dying, or the opposite go back and kill someone. for me it entirely depends upon how much time has passed. more than a few months and you're changing quite a bit and have to worry about how the world changes. probably why i liked the show 7 days, the premise was they could go back in time using an alien technology to fix things but could only go back seven days.
I said in the reaction to the previous one that Al believing anything from Barry is my least favorite plot point from the whole show, but I gotta say the resolution is pretty satisfying. I guess Arakawa couldn't think of a better way to put them into that conflict but she knew how she wanted to resolve it.
aww *hugs*
Al's situation was pretty much an existential crisis waiting to happen. It's a pity he got there by listening to someone who was trying to kill him, but at least he got it out of the way.đ
My condolences for your sister. I lost my older brother when I was 17, and this being one of my favorite animes, there were a lot of moments that hit me in the same way.
Edit: I also know which Who ep you're talking about. The church one, right? Yeah, that one got me too and made me ask myself the same sort of questions. Thank you for being open about these kind of things on your channel. It's validating to hear other ppl with similar experiences.
I'm thinking about the next episode and already tearing up đ
Oh man I cant wait for her to get to the next episode so I can see how she deals with Fullmetal Alchemist gut punch #2.
Sending you lots of love for your sister, I hope this show can provide you some catharsis. âĽEd and Al's sibling relationship is so beautifully written.
You're a fine, funny, decent human being. You got me emotional. So don' change a thing. All the best to you.
When I was born, my parents had a bone growth study done on me. The doctors estimated that I was going to be 5'6" at most. But as a child I was a milk fiend - a couple gallons a week at least. Consequently, I ended up 5'9".
Technically genocide doesn't happen anymore. Not because it doesn't happen, but because it's classified as ethnic cleansing because declaring genocide would mean all countries are supposed to band together to stop it. Scar is a bad man, but Kimblee is a predator of an entirely different sort, and I still can't say I totally dislike either. Hughes is a joy and a treasure!
Hi! I just want to say, I'm so sorry for your loss. Especially considering the next episode you watched right after. I really appreciate you sharing yourself so openly with people on the internet. Much love and strength to you! â¤
I laughed so hard when you blew your nose.
