I actually liked how they changed the newspaper scene. Watching the answer slowly dawn on Ed was more emotional in my opinion.
Great episode~

I agree with the general concensus. Solid episode. Nice to slow the pace down a little bit and let everything about Hughes finally sink in. Again, didn't read the manga so I can't compare with the newspaper, but I thought Ross telling the brothers what happened was fine. I actually started getting emotional seeing Ed's face while he was putting everything together in his mind.

But then that all went down the toilet when he started running...

Thank god for the scene in the Hughes household and afterwards, or this episode would've lost me completely. That got me back into it and looking forward to the next one.

Finally the pace is slowing down... or maybe just for this episode? Anyway I wasn't entirely content with this episode, but there were a good number of scenes that were, for the most part, faithful to the manga.

Enjoyable nevertheless. :) The EdxWin scene was there so yusss~

But ay. Poor Gracia and Elicia... D':

Nope, I'm with you on that. While this one got me sniffing a bit, the one with his death made me weep like a child.

As somebody in the first page said, Hughes death hadn't hit me in the face the episode he died, and this episode changes nothing either. The first season had more Hughes moments that eventually made me feel sad when he died. The so-called "plot twist" at the end was way too predictable.

Anyway, despite my rants, I liked the episode.

True, but I think adding the Maria Ross scene at the end of the episode and intertwining that with the "big reveal" at the end was a nice way of ratcheting up the tension at the end.

But yeah, the Newspaper reveal was better



Cannot -wait- to see the reactions to the next episode.

I unfortunately watched 17 before 16. I had no internet for a week and just watched the wrong episode first even though MAL said otherwise. >.< Maybe I wouldn't have gotten so angry at ep. 17 if I would have seen 16 first.

It was a so so episode, I did not care much about the drama. But towards the end it was interesting. Also I wonder what happened to the guy from that other country, I'm sure he let himself to be captured to investigate something.

Interesting episode.
So Maria is arrested and poor Jean has Lust as his girlfriend!
It's nice to see some of the minor characters get more involved with the storyline as compared with the original.
The plot thickens....can't wait for the next episode.

Whoa what the hell is happening? It looks like the Homonculus guys are winning. Damn of course they would win since the president is in kahoots with them, lmao. But still, how can Ed and Al solve this big problem? It'll be hard since it's an inside job.

Okay so the aftermath of Hughes death was over. The scene between Winry and Ed inside that room made me think that they were going to have sex or something, I was wrong though.

I can't deny this was quite a dramatic/sad episode, I couldn't help it when Winry mentioned she wanted Hughes-san to try her apple pie...then my eyes started to water.

Damn Jean is dating Lust? -shudders-

Ross has be arrested? Woah..

Next episode I think that'd be some Roy-in-action episode? I hope that'd be interesting.

I still feel bad for Ross, she didn't witness anything yet seems like she'll be treated as a prisoner on next episode.

A decent episode, Brotherhood does well with the action and the comedy, but man is it truly(so far) lacking in the emotional string pulling like the first show had. The scene with Winry shedding a fucking waterfall about applepie, I really couldn't help but roll my eyes. I can handle and enjoy heartbreaking scenes that make you sad, but this was just plain sappy.

I really liked this episode, despite my expectations for it(usually I don't watch the next ep preview). Ling is in prison in other words, he didn't mess at least for one episode.
Although he'll inevitably get role someday, today is not this day!
This is one of my favorite eps, because it is concentrated on Hughes, one of my 2-3 favorites of this show. It's really good that the pace slowed down for nothing else but Hughes. I hope next ep will be good too, but I watched 15 episodes of this today, and I'm gonna watch just one ep from other anime before going to sleep. Cross your fingers, because I don't want to be disappointed in the following ep of Brotherhood.

I'd totally let Barry cut up Jean's girlfriend xD Anyway the drama parts of this show are really well done. It always gets to me...

So, the Homunculi were behind Roy Mustang's trasfer to Central and they now know he found out about Research Laboratory 5 and the philosopher's stone. Crap, it seems like they're controlling everything.
