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 ;_;
Been watching simultaneously as well and have to say that FMA did this way better. The scenes were more emotional and better executed, I especially in terms of atmosphere and soundtrack. Brotherhood didn't achieve the same emotional depth, also because they added comedy scenes in between. Normally I like them but here they were misplaced.

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!
That's a great aspect of the show for sure. Just gets you invested in the characters so much more because it adds that realistic danger. Kinda reminds me of how GoT treated it's characters...

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).
I have my suspicions about the Führer and his secretary as well. Wouldn't be surprised if he turns out to be involved...

As a last remark: why would he meet with Douglas alone if he already knows that she's involved in it and is most likely leading him into a trap. Strange logic. Get some backup, man!

This episode was just pain. Man... Hughes' death was sad in Brotherhood but the way he was showcased here before and after death was really depressing. Much more emotional here.

In Brotherhood, it's sad to see Hughes' death but in FMA03, it's painful as they gave him more screen time and made emotionally attached to the audience.

Rest in piece to a fantastic character :(

Envy really pulled an unfair move with his transformations. I also really like how they handled the ed by removing the visuals

"He was a man, take him for all in all,
I shall not look upon his like again."

I know he loved every second of the time he was a father and a husband. And he did an outstanding job in both of those roles. That hand-waving scene at the end broke my heart.

Rest in peace Maes Hughes and Fujiwara Keiji too.

I prefer how the episode handled Hughes death compared to Brotherhood and the manga. The fact we spent more time with him also helps.
