This might be kinda obvious, but in case someone didn't get it: The whole "It's starting to rain" metaphor is also referring to the running joke that Mustang is useless on rainy days, meaning that he feels powerless after Hughes dies.
I know, right?! Over a span of like 6 years I was like, "Hughes is awesome." -----"Nooooo!" "Well, we get to see him again." -----"Nooooo!" "Wait he's a Nazi now?" "Hughes is back again." -----"Goddamit NOOOOO!"
Served hot, with 7th degree burns and a finishing desert of self-awareness, pity and humiliation- with suicide in front of an audience of enemies on top.
If you go back and look at Hughes's gravestone, 2014 is the 100th anniversary of Hughes's death. I'd tell you all to have a happy anniversary.. but it seems it's raining.
Gracia is completely underrated for this. I guess she was like Hughes' Trisha equivalent because just how much she and their daughter mean to him despite being away a lot, working long hours. His wife and later their daughter made things more bearable. Mustang thinks Hughes is stronger than him, but I think it's only because of Gracia he can hide his pain more easily. I'm sure he also had bad days but didn't want his friend to know how much he suffers. He just wants Roy to focus on himself and get to the top so they wouldn't have needless warring and suffering within their own borders anymore.
"Mommy, why are they putting all that dirt on daddy?" "They're burying him dear" "But if daddy gets buried then he won't be able to do all his work!" "Elicia..." "Daddy says he has a lot work he needs to do! No, stop it! Stop putting dirt on him! Daddy!"
I began watching brotherhood because of a recommnedation from a friend, so the only thing I knew about the series was that her favourite character dies pretty early on. After seeing episode 8 I thought Scar was dead and shrugged the warning off, since I thought he must have been her favourite and I didn't even like him that much, thinking Roy and Hughes were way cooler... Four episodes later, this song played and I died.
Plotbunnyhunter the same thing happened to me, but they didn’t tell me. They said it’s a fun lighthearted story. If it was lighthearted I would’ve have cried for days over that simple dorky optimistic man
Wait your friends had you watch brotherhood before 2003, that’s a bad friend. Friends don’t let friends watch it in the wrong order. Regardless I recommend checking out the original 2003 adaptation if you haven’t already, you may not find it as good as brotherhood, but it’s still good in its own right and is drastically different from the brotherhood adaptation.

Mustang: And in return they will protect the ones they love. It seems like the least we tiny humans can do. Hughes: You have my support, but You could've just asked. It might be interesting to see how it goes.
"Promoted to Brigadier General just for dying in the line of duty. You were supposed to be helping me work my way up through the ranks. You got it all backwards. You damned crazy fool."
"you were meant to help make my way up the ranks, you got it all backwards you damned crazy fool" " alchemists as a whole, we really are disgusting beings" -colonel roy mustang
Hearing Ling screaming for Fu and then finding him dead was heartbreaking. Even more so when he kept yelling for a doctor to use his Philosopher's Stone to save his life, yet finding none and realizing immortality would not save those close to him.
Brigadier General Hughes is dead. He was murdered shortly after you were discharged from the hospital, Edward. I'm afraid we still haven't found the person responsible.
A friend of a friend of mine thought anime was lame. My friend convinced her to watch this. A few episodes in she messaged her saying, "I love this Hughes guy he's so cute, I'm on episode 9" ... The next day, my friend gets a picture of her friend in *tears* with the caption, "Watching Hughes' funeral" xD
Hughes' death is a curious one isn't it? I was about to cry during the thing anyway, but his daughter just pushed me over into actual tear territory. What's weird is I spoiled myself by looking on Tv Tropes, but I never expected them to play it for all it's tragedy. I guess that's what's different about Hughes. Unlike series' like Game of Thrones or The Walking Dead, where the bodycount of main characters is equal to Enterprise crewmen, you see them all a dead (wo)men walking and are apathetic. Particularly in Game of Thrones, where your kind of apathetic as to who lives or dies, since the ones who aren't out for #1 aren't expected to live. But FMA balanced it out, and when this guy died, he was mourned. More than that, his wife and 3 year old daughter came, and seldom do those two series above have a person the character loved present and not able to understand what's going on, and seldom does that make the stoics visibly tremble. Whether you agree or not, It IS a horrible day for rain.
It was a shock to see the episode where Hughes was killed...so unable to digest, I kept thinking till the last episode of FMA that no! Hughes will come back! He can't die! He's too smart for that! Mahn! Everytime I saw Eliciya's face after accepting that he wouldn't return, I felt like screaming and going to heavens to bring Hughes back.
What I absolutely loved about this scene is the duality we see coming from Mustang. On one hand, he's putting up the typical facade that "men don't cry. Ever." when he lies about the rain. But on the reverse side of it, it's admitting how completely helpless he feels right at that moment due to how his alchemy works. (Please note, I was in fact barely holding tears back until we see Hawkeye consoling Mustang. That's what pushed me over the edge for tears)
I have never bawled for a side character like I did for hughes. Oh my lord. ;w; This song hits me so deep - not only was he a beloved Husband and Father who loved his family more than anything, he was an intelligent and competent member of the Military who believed in Ed and Al, and all that they were doing. He believed in them at times where sometimes the other characters wouldn't, and he went out in a way that shook us all to the core. He will be missed, as one of the best side characters in anime history. Because who thought they'd kill him off? Even if you guessed it, did you really think that they'd do it? Ugh... it hurts so much. The storytelling in Brotherhood is so beautifully scripted - in both the anime and the manga.
My grandma died about a month ago. A friend of mine who I invited walked up to me (this was outside, by the way, it was a pretty fair day out) and I suddenly remembered FMA: B and I said: "Why did it have to be raining out?" My friend looks over and says "It's not raining, though." He didn't notice that I was crying, but then I said "No... it is. It really is."
seeing ling desperately call for help upon seeing fu dead is one of the saddest things i've seen. he begged to use his philosopher's stone, yet no one could help. it was truly heart breaking to see ling realize that immortality will come with a price- seeing those people who you love die, and yet you cannot do anything to stop it.
I am blown away by how high the quality is of composition and playing is through out this sound track. this is truely magnificant. Akira Senju, thankyou for sharing your music with us in the form of this anime.
This song and scene are what a military funeral can be like in the real world - often a young family is involved, complete with one or two young children trying to understand why they are even there. The young wife and mother -the gunshots reverberating throughout the bodies of the attendees -the senselessness of a young father being taken from his loved ones. Oh how unfair - "he was a good man, a good father and a good soldier" - this scene has been played out for millennia and never gets easier. The creators of FMA/FMAB were spot on - and it never gets any easier to watch. It always rains.
"Maman...pourquoi ils enterrent papa?" "Comment il va faire pour aller travailler?" "Papa a dit qu'il avait beaucoup de travaille!!" "Non je veux pas! Ne l'enterrez pas!!"
this is by far the absolute best anime I've ever seen...EVER!.......the soundtrack is hauntingly beautiful, the plot was incredibly deep and philisophical, and just about every character was awesome in their own way........ I don't think there's anything that can top this.....
Never cared much for Hughes as a character. Was always an annoying side character to me, but he became a favorite of mine. That last stand against Lust and Envy, hidden knives, pure bravery. I shed more than a tear on his funeral scene.
Hughes was a great character. It was more in-depth in the first series. And I really became emotional with the funeral scene AND the scene after: where Ed sees Hughes on a train platform he passes, waving goodbye. The final nail to the coffin =(
Many animes and mangas never get a proper ending either, this is why SAO and FMA are two of my favourite all time anime/mangas, they had a story to tell and they told it, with no padding or filler. There's something satisfying about that, when you're left wanting more it means a series is successful, and far better than wishing it had ended before it got tedious.
Hughes. A man too smart, too loyal, too pure for this world. The fact that we all cried a character we barely knew for ten episodes speaks leagues of him.
I'm probably the only one but discounting the ending, I liked the original series a lot better than brotherhood story-wise and in character development. I don't want to argue, I'm just saying.
I felt they handled the pacing of the early episodes much better. In fact, I usually watch the first two episodes of FMA in place of the first episode of FMAB. I also felt considerably more touched by (**spoiler**) Hues' death in FMA than I did in FMAB.
OriginalTharios What I meant was, that it portrays the characters emotions better, and has one of the best explanations for homunculous. And dat ending. Many fans hated it, but I really liked it, the movie was perfect for FMA.
***** I think the homunculus in the first series were underwhelming, while I do like the efact the fact that they came from transmutations, the whole concept was half assed, due to the fact that we never actually got to know about greed's, pride's, and gluttony stories. Envy had one but it was done poorly IMO as it was only referenced and not gone through in depth. Wrath's story was pretty boring and plot hole riddled, Sloth's and Lust's stories were the only ones done well. Overall I prefer much of their counterparts of the manga, like greed, wrath, envy, pride and gluttony but like more sloth and lust in the 2003 anime.
TBH, I thought I had hated anime because of the stereotyping around it until I saw this "cartoon" at the time, until I realised i was watching anime the whole time. Thank you studio bones and the Mangaka for this Masterpiece.
Every time I hear this I can't help but cry out "HUUUUUUGHES!!!!" He truly was the best father/ funny uncle type of character I have ever seen in any form of media
When Hughes' daughter was saying, "Why are they putting all that dirt on daddy?" it almost made me cry, that entire scene was absolutely one of the saddest anime scenes I've ever seen.

No. I did not need this right now. Thanks SweetLemonade90. I appreciate it.
Whoa! Didn't think about that...
Wow. That brings a whole new level of meaning to Mustang's line. Thanks for pointing it out.
seriously, how did you guys not catch that?
It was a complete double meaning, it was to "hide" his tears and at the same time, give him an excuse to just get inside and forget about everything.
"What a terrible day for rain."
"But it is not raining."
. . .
"Yes, it is..."
Gab you made me cry, this is the saddest moment in all the anime
not even the kid made me cry like mustang did....
so you want to tell me nina wasn't sad enough?
Oh... so it is.
I was already crying at this point but then this scene came up and fucking killed me
that feeling when the manga gets an anime and that anime gets a reboot so you can see your favourite character die three times
+Exalomaniac And then you rewatch it countless more times...
I know, right?! Over a span of like 6 years I was like, "Hughes is awesome." -----"Nooooo!"
"Well, we get to see him again."
-----"Nooooo!"
"Wait he's a Nazi now?"
"Hughes is back again."
-----"Goddamit NOOOOO!"
And then a live action movie comes out for it
what
;-;
These feels have been passed down the Armstrong line for generations.
DarthCameroth I'm laugh crying. IDK WHAT TO THINK.
DarthCameroth I have very mixed emotions right now!
Hahahaha
If I reply to this will anyone notice?
ofc
Whoever said that "revenge is a dish best served cold" hasn't met Roy Mustang.

Ummm.... Ill take it cold...... I think. :3

If you go back and look at Hughes's gravestone, 2014 is the 100th anniversary of Hughes's death.
I'd tell you all to have a happy anniversary.. but it seems it's raining.
This comment. This comment right here is the epitome of all attempts to bring the feels.
PracticalPotato Thank you, I am in loss for words for your beautiful requiem
Lol
But this means Ed and Al tried to bring their mom back 110 years ago... That makes me uncomfy
Dang time passes so fast, 2014 was 10 years ago

HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO ME
+Grabacr50 Yeah, I know. And they even made it sadder.
+Angelo Lane Ilersich Agreed, it was sadder in Brotherhood
+Grabacr50 it was much sadder in the original FMA
+Grabacr50 it was sadder in the first anime because they showed him in a lot of episodes not like fmab

Bro I need to rewatch this shit bro I need to appreciate the anime now as I am older now everything is making sense and it hits so much harder
*goes to watch Mustang vs. Envy to make myself feel better*
God the sound of his daughter wailing sent chills down my spine. Brotherhood certaintly did a good job invoking the right emotions.
still remember my first time watching full metal alchemist
I'm back bout 6 years later, currently rewatching, FMAbh is still the king to this day
Just finished rewatching the episode, rushed straight here.
... It really is raining, isn't it?

And I really became emotional with the funeral scene
AND the scene after: where Ed sees Hughes on a train platform he passes, waving goodbye.

***** I think the homunculus in the first series were underwhelming, while I do like the efact the fact that they came from transmutations, the whole concept was half assed, due to the fact that we never actually got to know about greed's, pride's, and gluttony stories. Envy had one but it was done poorly IMO as it was only referenced and not gone through in depth. Wrath's story was pretty boring and plot hole riddled, Sloth's and Lust's stories were the only ones done well. Overall I prefer much of their counterparts of the manga, like greed, wrath, envy, pride and gluttony but like more sloth and lust in the 2003 anime.
Aww he got his own song! That’s rare for the brotherhood soundtrack! Just as the mangas, in memory of Hughes.
TBH, I thought I had hated anime because of the stereotyping around it until I saw this "cartoon" at the time, until I realised i was watching anime the whole time. Thank you studio bones and the Mangaka for this Masterpiece.
Mustang: It's a terrible day for rain
Hawkeye: It's not raining (Or something like that I forgot >
this is legit the ONE death that i absolutely refuse to except out of anything.
I just realized Hughes’ posthumous promotion happened to be a convenient way to keep the OST (relatively) spoiler-free.
FMA brotherhood has such an AMAZING music... I love it!
Hughes was the spark that Roy needed to make him feel more light in the HQ. And Roy didn't know that, until he died.
Mustang:"Its a terrible day for rain"
Hawkeye:"But sir it's not raining"
Mustang: "Yes.. It is"
He put up a good fight. A good soldier. Any Army would be proud to have served with him...
I don’t cry at funerals. Except this one.
his death really was a great awakening moment for that tone set by his death
Every time I hear this I can't help but cry out "HUUUUUUGHES!!!!"
He truly was the best father/ funny uncle type of character I have ever seen in any form of media
This song is wonderful. It captures the emotion of the moment so well. I love composers who can do that.
I held back from this scene for a while, but only on the 5th time I watched this episode did I finally cry.
When Hughes' daughter was saying, "Why are they putting all that dirt on daddy?" it almost made me cry, that entire scene was absolutely one of the saddest anime scenes I've ever seen.
