FMAB 10 Full Reaction

Comments
Mustang's line "It's a terrible day for rain" - so iconic, and it says so much about his character. Remember that Mustang is the Flame Alchemist, so he uses fire as his weapon. We have repeatedly been told in this series that Mustang is "useless" in the rain, because he can't get a spark going to use his alchemy. So by standing at Hughes' grave and saying "It's a terrible day for rain" - he was basically telling Hawkeye that he feels useless. He wasn't there to help his best friend when his best friend needed him. And given how powerful Mustang is, that makes it even worse for him, because he knows that he could have saved Hughes if he had been there. But now he also has to live with the mystery of trying to figure out what Hughes was trying so desperately to tell him before he died, as well as trying to figure out who did it.

But it cut out a TON of character focused stuff in order to tell a good plot in the limit of episodes the show had. Originally we got way more Hughes, his interaction and care of the brothers, and a look into his work and field skill as head of investigations and his history with Mustang. Be very lucky in brotherhood he dies only 10 episodes in lol, because I remember with fma03 (which animated all those manga character moments because it was made early on in the manga's release) his death broke me for sure because of the longer buildup.

I try to live up to his example everyday with regards to my own wife and son, and the way I treat others." This just made my heart happy π

2025-06-08 23:35:00 +0000 UTCSeeing this reaction from you guys reminds me a lot of when you guys were on your Naruto Storm journey, when an iconic character you grew to love suddenly dies in the next part. Yeah, anime tends to be cruel like that, but still great storytelling nonetheless. As everyone has said here in this comments section, it's indeed a terrible day for rain... Definitely loving the theory crafting at the end, reminds me a lot of when you guys were trying to unveil the mystery of Goku Black back in Super, and we are here yet again lol

2025-06-07 02:26:24 +0000 UTCI believe "It's a terrible day for rain" is one of the most iconic and well known line that many people still reference today especially in modern anime and pop culture; to the point where people who have never seen FMAB know of the line despite not knowing its origins.

2025-06-06 21:21:53 +0000 UTC"It's a terrible day for rain" - one of the most iconic and saddest lines in the series

2025-06-06 20:13:29 +0000 UTCThe Law of Equivalent Exchange. You cannot get something without giving up something of equal value. Hughes was the happiest man in the story despite living through the atrocities he took part in, and brought us so much joy. It only stands to reason that he would have to pay the price with an equal amount of tragedyβ¦

2025-06-06 19:58:42 +0000 UTCWell, not nearly as crazy when you factor in that Brotherhood skips over most of the manga canon material that the 2003 anime already adapted. Thatβs about 30 episodes, give or take.

2025-06-06 19:55:33 +0000 UTCItβs a terrible day for rain. π This episode hurts me every single time I see it, from the murder to the funeral and everything all around it. The dread of knowing that the Elrics and Winry donβt know yet and waiting for them to find out just claws at your soul. π On the topic of how high up this conspiracy goes, Fuhrer King Bradley is very interesting to examine. Obviously the man at the top of a military dictatorship would be prime suspect for a high level government conspiracy like this and heβs exhibited a whole host of suspicious actions, but at the same time Iβd urge you to check the funeral again and really observe him closely. His hands are trembling the whole time. That would be rather odd behavior if he is involved, not something easily acted. Side note, Maes Hughes is the anime character people have most consistently said I resemble, which I consider to be a compliment of the highest regard. I try to live up to his example everyday with regards to my own wife and son, and the way I treat others.

2025-06-06 19:47:57 +0000 UTCYeah, this one stung a bit. Up until this point, Maes Hughes was actually my favorite character. Though, even before this point I could still sense that something bad was gonna happen to him. He just seemed like the type of character that was "just too good for this world". It's a terrible day for rain indeed.
