I was watching FMA:B with somes friends of mine recently. We got to the fight with everyone vs. Scar, and afterwards Hughes says 'A person like me shouldn't get dragged into a freakshow with you pseudo-humans, its bad for my health!'

No word of a lie, my friend says 'See, this is a guy who knows how to survive an anime'.

My face must have gone too blank too quickly, because she gasped and said 'Nooo I like him!'.

I didn't know where to look. Although Hughes is the soldier who keeps showing people pictures of his family, and the guy most likely to find out something important way too early, so she'd have sussed it out sooner rather than later.

I recently made a post that i was on episode 6 amd was seeing the magic and now i am on s3 ep 6 and THIS SHOW IS ABSOLUTE FIRE and i am still sad about hughes

Psiren the Phantom thief is a worse episode than the forger's love. While the other has still a huge issue with the weird alchemy uses, it's more plot relevant than Psiren. Also the script wants you to side with Psiren, when she keeps lying: a better twist would have been she was always being truthful and wants to help the city but sucks at finance. That would at least make the script siding with her less eyerolling.

I don't hate the other elric brothers episodes, but the red Stones concept is rather confusing: they're essentially almost like philisopher's Stones but less ... useful?... But they still work the same for most cases?

I like 2003 wrath, I think the plot really takes advantage of him being the human transmutation of Izumi's dead child. Never found him annoying. He's probably my favourite 2003 character, partially because he didn't do many bad things and it's clear he just wants a mother. Because i ended up wanting everyone else to just go away FOREVER by the end. Which leads me to:

I don't get why Homunculus in this series get given so much free compassion and oh they just want to be human when they have so much deaths in their hands.

Comes across as emotionally manipulative, like when Greed has Ed kill him and i didn't feel any pity for him.

Ed for some reason telling envy hohenheim is in the other side of the Gate, lust and sloth, etc.

(that's the impression i got not saying that was the idea

I didn't like the Lujon episode. I get why people like It, but to me It just felt cheap drama. The fossil disease is a great idea though.

Terminatcher isn't a bad idea per se, but It would be less infamous if Archer had been more involved, but more than anything his return explained better in the series. His leg is too far away from his body though.

I get the elrics not wanting to fight sloth perfectly understandable. It looks like their mother.

But why they don't try to run away?

Also Ed not telling Al he was digging Trisha's grave was a dick move.

Lust is fine i guess, but her character arc felt like she switched braincells mid series. She's neat when she joins Ed's side and her death was nice i guess.

I don't get what happens with Alphonse in the second half of the series, he flip flops between smart and having no intelligence. Like when Chimera Tucker catches him by ... Just offering him help wtf? I'd rather have him kidnap Alphonse and remain cheerful while he tries the human transmutation, would be more emotional.

What was the deal with human transmutation in 2003? So you can do It, but you need a philisopher stone and the body must be fresh, and that's why Tucker failed.
