| That dog was fucking creepy as hell. I knew this glasses dude would screw them over somehow the second he was introduced. He was sending off bad vibes in every direction. |
| still remain one of the most shocking anime episode i have ever watch, really show the worse side of human nature. |
| HOLY HELL THAT WAS A MESSED UP EPISODE!!!!!!! |
| Gnyo ho! |
| Quite Possible one of anime's saddest scenes. Is your job that important you'll fucking use your daughter and dog to pull something like that off, and even when the girl and the dog was in that state she says "does it hurt daddy". |

| I expected at least one episode to have something like a theme of mad scientist and will be about his controversial experiments, i.e. on humans against their will, but I didn't expect it to appear that soon in Fullmetal Alchemist! Great episode. Powerful, full of emotions. Poor Nina and Alexander. ;__; Scar looked badass. |
| heard about this many, many times before seeing it. hated the dude with a passion before he even appeared, and this episode makes me wildly pissed. what a terrible dad, nina and alexander deserved better. didnt expect it to appear so early in though. |
| I have mixed emotions. The fast pacing is a detriment to this series and it is clearly shown in this episode. When you try to instill that many different emotions to the viewer in a short amount of time you'll have to do it very skilfully as well as tactfully or else the viewer won't know how to feel at a certain point. Which is exactly what happened, I didn't know how to react to it so I was indifferent to the events being shown. Hope the show has adjusted it in the later episodes. Scar seems cool though. I liked his mindset and values (what little of it that has been shown so far at the very least.) 3/5 |

| Fuck off Tucker, your pun was as trash as YOU! |
 |
| Welp, there is only one outcome awaiting poor Nina at the end because of all the dark memes made about it but I seriously didn't expect that it would hit me that hard this early into the anime. Shou Tucker was already bad news from the very moment his most impressive breakthrough was mentioned by Roy. It was so screwed up that it shook me to the core and Scar coming to Shou's place to murder him at the very day he had his position as State Alchemist renewed was a big case of poetic justice. I really felt bad about Nina being put down. I guess that going peacefully really would be a better fate than living out her life as a monstrosity like that. |
 |
| This is just sad... just why... fck tucker |
| man tucker was the most relatable character of the series so far |
AnimeFreak-San said: is this a male gender issure...human issue...mental illness perhaps? |
| Wow that was so fucked up O__O |
| Damn, it's always rough knowing what happens to Nina and Alexander no matter how many times I've re-watched this anime X'-( |
| This episode was INCREDIBLE, I was so shocked, damn, the voice was so creepy |
 |
| Damn you memes!!! This was messed up, Jesus... |
 |
| THANK GOD SCAR KILLED TUCKER I HATE TUCKER SO MUCH and despite having only one episode with nina i still loved her. she was adorable also definitely feeling glad i watched the 2003 version first! there are so many things they are just referencing/skimming over in these episodes that i quite enjoyed watching, like the episode in roswell with yoki, and i would have had no clue about them had i not seen that first. (random side note: i realised they haven't shown al preparing for and then being forced to drop out of becoming a state alchemist (unless they will mention it later?), but i thought that was a nice plot point, it added a layer of almost resentment and helplessness to al) |
| Thanks for reminding me why I stopped watching this anime in my childhood.It's so violent and hits right in the feelings. |
| I hate everyone equally |
| That was sad, I can't deny it but i have no idea of why Edward never suspected him in the first place since Mustang informed him what Shou Tucker was doing. But I fucking hate Tucker! |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
ironchefflip said: kuroshiroi said: I'm curious to see what people that haven't seen the original think of this episode, which was one of the best arcs from the original, imo. I'm one of those people. I thought this episode's pacing was fine. It built up tension and future story by introducing the Scar character. It gave the audience enough background info and interaction to grow attached to Nina and Alexander. And then it excelled in making me depressed as to what Tucker did to them and their mother. Lastly, it did ok in showing Ed's inner turmoil and then book-ending it nicely with Scar getting another alchemist, along with the heart breaking (although messy) euthanasia of the chimera. If this were two episodes or more, the only thing I could see them doing is have more Nina and dog screen time so that he viewer would be more attached, eventually creating a deeper depression after what happened to her. Maybe a longer Scar fight, but then he wouldn't seem so seemingly unstoppable as he is now. Or more Edward brooding which would just be more angst than needed. I liked the way this was done, albeit I'm still depressed from sadness by it. magelet said: As for those who say the pace is too fast, you need to keep in mind that this was only one chapter in the manga. The first series just stretched the story out considerably. Thus far, I think the pacing is just about perfect. Can't wait for the next episode! Not much more to add. Pacing was slow enough to create an emotional bond, so that the end really hits hard. It was also better that they waited with Ed's realization until the cimera called him "brother". In the old version, he seems to know right away which packs less of a punch. The added lines for the chimera when Tucker is killed are also heartbreaking. On a sidenote: clever way to introduce Yoki :) |
| This episode is just top tier writing. Its really amazing how they made you care about a character that we only seen for a very short period of time. So far 4 episodes in and I'm really hooked up on seeing what happens next |
| Damn, that was messed up. I kept hoping they were just having a nightmare at the end. The chimeras voice was ridiculous though. |
| I am not a weeb, I simply enjoy 2D girls |
| The original anime did a better job with fleshing it out since this portion went 2 episodes instead of one like in Brotherhood, but Brotherhood made it feel a bit more emotional with the music used in the Nina-Alexander chimera reveal. Made the melancholy strike deeper. Good stuff despite being fucked up with Tucker's actions. |
| Man, that was fucked up. This is the part that my friend warned me about... I knew right away as I saw the chimera...watching Ed figure it out really increased the darkness in this episode. This anime seems so versatile already. |
  |
| That part made me sick _(´ཀ`」 ∠)_ it's so creepy but it's good! |
this episode is terrifying. i really shocked when his father turned his daughter into a creature.it really made me crying and i felt so sad. i was now really hyped up for watching next episode.this anime really best anime in the anime and manga community. if only art style of this anime is brilliant. i would rate it 10 out of 10. for sure. |
 |
| Ahhh this is the infamous episode. I remember all the memes about the daughter dog thing and now I've finally seen it. Man it's tragic what he did to achieve alchemy |
| desu desu binches |
| #1 Re-watch Heartbreaking episode. Nina and Alexander deserved much better, I'm happy that Tucker was killed. The OST at the end gave me chills (it's one of my favourite FMAB OST). The conversation between Roy, Riza and the Elric brothers at the end made me realise how messed up humans actually are. 5/5 it was amazing! |

| this all feels too routine. they skipped the train and the mining town and the comedy is really disconnecting me from the story |
| HOLY SMOKES, I WASN'T PREPARED FOR THIS!! What a dark and devastating episode, still can't stop crying for poor Nina💔😭 |
 |
| Man... that was really sad. I was spoiled about it. But, it was still painful to watch. T_T Poor Nina and Alexander. I hope you both are in a better place now. |
 |
| nice episode i liked it, rest in peace Nina and Alexander :( |
| Honestly, It's such a shame they spoiled me about this waaaay before watching the anime. It seems like the adaptation was rushed (never seen 03 or read the manga), but even then they still managed to make me sad despite me knowing what was about to happen. |
| That was a sad episode.... |
