| Ayy we get to see my boy scar. Bad man :( I saw this coming since I've already seen this episode multiple times including brotherhood's counterpart but ouch. Shou tucker is an awful human being |

| Man that episode was really horrible. I hope the rest of the series isn’t going to be as traumatic and upsetting. |
| wow that... was way darker than i thought it'd be it always seem as a regular shounen but then it strikes you with something as twisted as this |
i wish i was a cloud |
| really good episode, can see what people mean when they mention how much more mature fma is. especially how ed's trauma is handled. i prefer the brotherhood version of that scene but the way it was built up here was way better |
| good opinions on anything, block = I own you |
| F for girl and alexander :( |
| I actually like the way Tucker was humanised more here than in fmab, showing that alchemists will do anything to survive if their backs are against the wall. If anything the moustache guy is to blame for making Tucker do this. |

| Great episode, it's too bad Nina's fate was spoiled for me long before I ever had any interest in watching this show. To be fair though, when you see a happy child in anime, this is the only kind of fate that awaits them. |
| Welp, I've put off watching this show for ages, but I finally got to "that episode". Are you proud of me, my fellow weebs and memers? :3 ...But seriously though, I don't really get the hate for Shou Tucker TBH. Of course, I had the twist spoiled on me years in advance thanks to all the memes, so perhaps the whole "audience betrayal" factor was lost on me, but there are a lot more reprehensible anime characters out there regardless. Heck, this very series gave us Majhal a few episodes prior... |

| That was messed up. |
| This is way more convincing and sadder storytelling than the Brotherhood, better build up too. |

| I knew tucker was on some weird timing but no way... this anime got sad really fast |
| what the fuck Good episode! what the fuck |
| read/watch more stuff with cool girls (everything !!!!!!) |
| I have to say, this is WAY better than the 09 version. there's the pace that don't rush anything (unlike previous episode). there's the writing, where Ed realized what's going to happen way before actually seeing Nina Chimera. masterpiece of episode. and then there's couple of stuff that don't relate to this story thats happening in the background. those kind of things makes the world of the stories much more believable - not everything in the world happens right besides the main characters. |

| The first time I watched FMA 2003 was almost 8 years ago, so the twist of this episode has, over time, lost a lot of its impact on me. It's so well-known as a sad, dark plot-twist that it's kinda hard to see it on its own merit anymore. I only watched the show twice before now, but this episode has been so thoroughly canonized online that it's hard to still feel anything about it. I see it playing out before me, but I can't connect to it. It doesn't even feel surreal, it just feels textbook. Cute girl ✔️ Cute dog ✔️ Sad event ✔️ That's a wrap In a way I think it's kinda unfortunate that this episode has gotten the reputation that it has because it definitely makes it hard to approach on a rewatch. Or, that's what I thought until I got to the extra images that they spliced into the ending theme.  Yeah, it's pretty good. |
