| Man, Hughes is one of the characters that really didn't deserve to die. :/ A man with such a good heart who cares for his friends and especially his family.. leaving a wife and a young daughter behind. That's sooo sad :( |
| Upsets me that a lot of people found Hughes annoying. Hughes was actually one of my favourite characters and I cried when he died. My tear ducts are still stinging. I'm glad Roy said "I will take vengeance for Hughes... are you with me?" and Riza's all "Do you even have to ask?" :) |
 |
| R.I.P, Hughes... I was on the verge of shedding some tears, but refrained myself from doing so. Elicia's innocence during the burial was also quite sad. I wonder what the Erlic Brothers' (and Winry's) reaction is going to be like when they find out that he is dead ;_: |
| What the hell just happened?? I first thought that this anime is just a waste of time, but things got complicated within this episode. Those two bitches just slaughtered Hughes. Elicia is left an orphan now. BTW, have you realized that King Bradley is 3rd Hokage from Naruto. |

| Hughes... I knew it was coming due to seeing the first anime, however I still hate Envy non the less because of it, you freaking sexually confusing, pseudo human :'( |

| That was a awesome episode. A lot of emotions... sad that Hughes died... i liked him. |
| ... |
| A very emotional episode. After all we've seen of Hughes' family it really hits you hard to see him lose his life. And the contrast with the happy trio in the train...and finally Roy Mustang's scene: "It's raining"...Really good stuff. Envy is a miserable little c**t and he better lose his life painfully and with much humiliation involved before this anime is over. |

| It is less sad than in fma cuz we didnt really got to know hughes |
| A very sad episode. I can't believe that Hughes is dead :( |

eworm said: Besides, I heard the characters were all messed around with in that one, good guys being bad and vice versa, I don't see how it could work for me at all. Untrue. Good guys are in no way "bad," but eworm said: I guess it's good the first anime was made, since it gained popularity and made the Brotherhood a) possible and b) BUDGET'D AS F*CK, but after Brotherhood got made, there's really no reason to watch the first one IMO. Aside from "what the heck is this, lol, they got it all wrong" feeling. Which some enjoy. I don't. I understand this opinion, but I can't agree with it. The first anime tells a completely different story from Brotherhood - and it is incredibly excellent. If you go into it expecting it to be the same as the manga or being annoyed that they "got it all wrong" when it's meant to be entirely different, then yeah, you'll be sorely disappointed. If you go in expecting a completely different story, though, I don't see how anyone could dislike it. Anyway, I don't know how but they managed to make this scene even more heartbreaking than it was in the first anime. "Yeah, I'm fine. Except... it's a terrible day for rain." "What do you mean? It's not raining." "Yes. It is." ;_______; |

| that was one of the sadest moments in anime i have had to date. |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
KitsuneOne said: I'm going to say this to get it off my chest if I offend anyone I'm sorry. Why do people say Fullmetal Alchemist is the "original"? Originally it did follow the manga but strayed from it quickly which is why Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood was created which follows the manga. So Fma:Brotherhood would be the original not Fullmetal Alchemist. Anyway, I always liked Hughes but I didn't cry ( only animes that have made me cry are Anohana and near the end of this one). Who says that Fullmetal Alchemist is the original? It's like you said, FMAB follows faithfully the manga, instead FullMetal Alchemist takes a different route. |

| Wow, I was starting to like Hughes! |
 |
| I have a hate-love towards this episode. It's so sad :'( I love Lt. Hughes... RIP Maes Hughes We will always love you. <3 |
| -hahaha the way their bodies and faces change into something comical...its so damn funny!... -poor Hughes... and also poor Elicia... shes gonna grow up without a father. |

kie_ said: I can see where you're coming from. He didn't get as much character development this time around due to the removal of the fillers which didn't make him as lovable as he was in the original. I however found it more saddening because I already loved him as a character and to see him die only in a much more graphic depiction seriously made his death and the funeral scene much more tear-jerking for me.Hughes death wasn't as sad as it was in the original. |
| I was watching that episode today after finishing my finals and I was fighting back tears QQ |
| Damn that funeral scene hits close to home. Since my dad was killed in an accident when I was 10, I was just sitting here watching Elicia like, "I know those feels, bro. :'(" Losing a parent at a young age is absolute hell. |
| At the scene where Hughes talked to his daughter before going to work I thought : "Hughes is becoming way to much of a lovable character, theyre gonna kill him off arent they?" 5 mins later: "Called it!". So far not to impressed by the highest rated anime on MAL. Its pretty damn predictable and honestly its not that great either. A close 7-8 for me for now. |
| A tear was shed. Damn Envy and Lust. adamantine said: But wow, it was pretty horrifying going from Hughes to the happy kids on the train. DDDDDD: I didn't like the sudden switch of mood. |

| I can't believe they killed off Hughes, he was becoming one of my fav characters. The moment when his daughter was asking her mum why daddy was being buried had me crying on the inside. |

Those who stand at the top determine what's wrong and what's right! This very place is neutral ground! Justice will prevail, you say? But of course it will! Whoever wins this war becomes justice! - Doflamingo |
| Shit I didn't want to see Hughes' death again :( So sad... He was such a great character. I only wish he had more screen time in this version. The funeral scene with Roy was extremely touching. I am still crying... |
| Why why why why?! T____T They better kill those bastards. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| I've never forgotten the "It must be raining" scene - one of my favourite lines in anime. It wasn't as sad in this version, but a lot of is has to do with the fact that I was expecting it. Things don't have equal emotional impact the second time around. |
| Damn. Now I'm sad. Got really sad when his daughter was asking why he was being buried and then I teared up when Roy said it was raining. Anyway, this show has been great so far. I can't say I'm super hyped over it yet, just because for the past ten episodes, I already knew what was going to happen (since I watched the 2003 ver before) |
| Seriously this? He was my favorite FMA character. But always my favorites die. Please Mustang, revenge with those bastards T__T and the rain part >< |
   |
| He brought a melon. Oh...and Hughes died. You'd hardly care. |
| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| Sniff.. sniff... it's just the rain baka. Elicia.... T^T |
| Damn didnt see this coming, the feels. That moment with hes daughter was so sad. It must be hard to tell a child the concept of death. |
 |
| OKay that was really sad. The Elric brothers will be up for a big load of sadness when they find out too. Hughes little girl crying at the funeral definitely got to me and made me cry. RIP Hughes. |
 |
| It's raining here as well :'( |
| My Anime List | |
| Hughes was a nice character, too bad he died. I'm glad his death and the reactions to it weren't overly dramatic. however, I feel like when Ed finds out he'll flip out, like shounen protagonists always do lol |

| Hughes ;_; And here goes one of the best characters of FMA again. |
| Col. Mustang was right, it's a bad day for rain T^T |
 |
| My favourite manga panel :3 |
| TBH this episode wasn't anything special for me. The "it's raining part" was spoiled to me already thanks to rabid weebtakus everywhere, and although I loved Hughe's character, he wasn't developed enough for me to really feel anything. What really bothers me is that he went up to the telephone and decided not to call, then went to a public phone alone where an enemy can fight him?? That receptionist was stupid too. She just gasped and wah and wooh and sat back down. Based on my understanding, Hughe's death could've easily been avoided or put off. |
