I think we all agree Hiromu Akawa is a fucking genius.
Despite the depressing change of events, she never ever ever messed up one chapter in the whole goddamn series. You gotta praise the guy, all her villains got a fucking background. And all her characters are awesome. I've never seen this before. How can she think of so many things at once? (And thank god it's not the main-character-glory type of shounen, everyone gets their part with some sort of intelligent deep reason). And characters keep dying reasonably when you least expect it (that's awesome :) I like to be surprised and not see everyone surviving with a deus ex effect, getting out unscathed) Shit, this is just genius. I couldn't expect more of her.
And mustang going blind, that was just powerful. Hands down.
