Fullmetal Alchemist Chapter 5 Discussion

I never expected to care for a one off character so much in one chapter than this one, I guess you can get an emotional reaction from a single chapter. Astounding!

DAAAAMN, I chose "Hated it" by accident, even though I loved this chapter :<

Damn, that Tucker was a real sicko.. I mean doing that to her own daughter argh. Makes me angry too.

Kinda like the 2003 adaptation better, but still a great chapter though

Fuck, just like the anime, this makes me cry.

I didn't expect to cry again after already have experienced it from (three in total with the original FMA included) rewatching the anime of that scene a few days ago.



Knowing what happens since first watching it in 2009.

It hurts even more seeing the moment we first see Nina/Alexander as a Chimera.

Everytime Nina speaks, it breaks my heart. Worse before her death in the manga. In the anime, I sobbed in the beginning as well, but moreso at the moment she speaks to Edward and then Al.



The anime expanded this scene greatly, but the simplicity of the single words from Nina in the manga hits different in a more depressing way over the lines of the English Dub.

Nonetheless, the scene remains great in whatever form. 

Rewatching the first anime's version, it's the lesser one, arguably mediocre in comparison, but still a sad scene.



That damn Shou Tucker is a sick piece of shit bastard for turning his wife and daughter into Chimera's.

Easily one of the best saddest scenes in anime. Next to the likes of Clannad After Story which makes me sob the most. 

Wow. I had a feeling that Tucker did that to his daughter, but I didn't see the chimera/wife part coming. :3

Even Alphonse can be threatening (kind of wish they kept his line to Shou Tucker in Brotherhood).  



Nina and Alexander is of the most depressing moments in the series, that's for damn sure! :-(

Remember seeing this episode in FMA when I was a bit younger ... Not as sad now but it actually was a rather sad chapter.
