Been watching this simultaneously with Bro'hood (and I regret doing so), and man, this proved to be much more dramatic than the latter. I had a drop of tear roll down my face ;_;

Awww, I finally watched this episode, and dreaded every minute of it.Ahhh, Hughes! OMG, I cried...I started balling when Alicia was crying and asking what they were doing to her dad. It was soooo good, I watched it again and cried. Hughes was so awesome, he was hilarious and a badass, I'm glad he went out fighting.

At the start of the episode, I thought Maes was going to die :(
He had a family, a daughter, a wife..
He.. it seemed as if he was going to die :(

Then he went and did a solo mission :(

I cried when he died.

I'd like to everything.

imagine if envy changed into the appearence of his daughter. i think that would have been even worse than getting killed
i was actually really starting to like him. it was the same with armstrong, hawkeye and roy. AND HE WAS THE CLOSEST TOO!! he figured it out.....

Poor Hughes <3 This is what's so cool about Full Metal Alchemist. It's so down to earth. In a lot of other animes, it is unthinkable to kill off a comic relief who also has a family. Hughes died to make FMA awesome!

Urgh , he is one of my favourite anime characters . And I just wonder - Since only Brotherhod had to follow the manga storyline fully (The 2003 series followed the story only to the middle,since the manga wasn't finished ) +_+ WHY DID THEY HAVE TO KILL HIM IN BOTH ANIMES ! I mean - in brotherhood , ok I understand it has to stay with the manga . BUT IN 2003 they started to change the story , so what bothered them to cut Maes's death ? Still it was one of the most dramatic FMA episodes .

I haven't cried like this over an anime character for so long TT_TT

I had a bad feeling when I saw the title, but... it still didn't stop the tears flowing out. Maes was a really awesome character, and... damn it, I feel so sad right now~

One of my favorite characters just died and I don't really care. Maybe it was the way it was handled? Maybe it's because I took like a more than 10 month break from this series since the last episode I watched (most likely reason). Maybe it's because I thought he deserved it a little for not being careful enough. But then that's like saying a girl got raped because she wore a short skirt.

I loved this episode because it shows something rarely seen in any type of show. That no character is safe. Well aside from the Elrics, anybody can die. Just because you are important character doesn't mean you are going to live through everything. Which is good because it adds more suspense.

With that being said, they killed my favorite character. Almost as bad as when chewbacca got killed. Can't wait to watch the next episode.

So, the plot thickens, as they say, huh?
The moment I saw Führer (forgot his real name) give Huges the green light for further investigation, I thought he might end up dying. Still, I was sad it actually happened.
Speaking of Fuhrer...I have found him to be kinda suspicious for several episodes now. And after this secretary incident, he seems even more suspicious; I wouldn't be surprised to see him be revealed as a villain/have a skeleton in the closet/sth like that (haven't seen Brotherhood yet, so this is just a guess).

Hughes!!!!!!!!!!

why the hell did you have to die T___T

even though he carefully and cautiously planned his attack, he even manage to stab both Homunculus members.

just as Roy is about to get his promotion, then he's nowhere to be found.

man Roy Mustang must be tearful after the lost of his first comrade.

not knowing the Elric brothers are gone, not to mention Hughes is dead.

i wonder if Sheska manage to save some info from him??

like Douglas involvement etc?

ahhh what will the Elric brothers reaction when they hears this news???

the anime is definitely provoking lots of emotions and that's a good thing.

but Hughes man T_______T
