Just in case you missed it Mustang says he understands now why the boys tried to bring back their mother, why someone would attempt the taboo of human transmutation. I always found it a nice moment of introspection.
Yeah, Mustang and Hueghs are both very young for the ranks they are holding (making Colonel in late 20th is literally impossible IRL). But they've been through some stuff and earned their ranks in the Ishvalan War. Also, "It's a terrible day for rain" line has a second meaning beside Roy basically covering his tears - it's the fact that Roy is useless on rainy days. So he basically feels useless and helpless, because he couldn't save his best friend 😢
Envy is a shapeshifter, therefore they are androgynous and don't really have a defined gender in the original Fullmetal Alchemist manga. The 2003 anime series made a bit of a deviation from the original canon, changing Envy's origins and describing them as being exclusively male for reasons that I will not disclose, due to spoilers. Brotherhood doesn't make the same change to the plot, but it does still refer to Envy as He/Him.
A lot of people dont realize "it's a terrible day for rain" is actually a call back to when Roy was told he is useless in the rain. This is Roy calling himself useless for not helping his own friend.
There's a beautiful short in the 2003 show where Ed glimpses a ghostly figure of Huges waving to him from an empty train platform, but as the train passes and Ed looks back there's no one there.

Also, “It’s a terrible day for rain” isn’t just a cover for his tears. Remember what Hawkeye said, he’s useless on a rainy day.
Sucks to realize that YOU'D do what you previously condemned someone else for

The daughter at the funeral kills me every time.
By far the saddest death in anime. It hits like a truck every damn time...
The FMA 2003 death has more impact in my opinion cause you get to know him and his family better.
then I guess you have not watched clannad

I hope they remake FMAB so Envy can introduce themselves as they/them because that matters a lot. ❤❤❤
every fucking time this episode makes me weep! i adore this story but god damn does it fucking hurt.

I think this is the first time I've seen someone assume Envy was a girl. As for what Envy is, technically neither?
I also assumed envy was a girl. But I guess its mostly the voice; the body could really go either way.
Androgynous because they are quite literally gender fluid.
I remember watching this episode originally. It hurt.
Gah so many good episodes coming up. Scars story, the teacher, maybe soon more of the armstrongs? Love this series
I cried so much when she said daddy.😭😭
Pain. This episode is nothing but pain
Awesome reaction of my favorite episode of Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood!!!!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Envy is a crossdressing guy with a female voice actor. Then again, Jealousy is a ugly thing.
Envy is a guy btw not a woman
