15:21 "I really can't judge him for wanting to give his daughter a better life."
Famous last words spoken just before disaster
Literally...
Spoke too soon
Ngl, I couldn't help to smile maliciously when she said that.
Unless you knew the meme we all wandered aimlessly into that trap
@@Reansel I'm definitely going to hell because so did I. I was horrified for them at what they were about to witness but I couldn't help but smile ;;
Fun fact: at the end of every manga volume, there is a panel that shows every character who died moving onto the afterlife. Tucker is the only one confirmed to be going downstairs
Deserved
This is so fascinating to me because I could think of several characters who should be down there with him
Damn, I don't remember that at all. Pretty funny though.
Will have to read the manga!
I still think that hell is too good for him.
y'all looked so happy about this series before you started this episode.
Milena’s got a thousand yard stare afterwards.
Yeah…
Please.. the original FMA was alot darker and the chimera death was more brutal..
@@Supreme2infinitiart It's overall the worse show, so who cares.
@@lilywong9672 doesn't mean it didn't do something better
I love the fact that episode 3 was a representation of religion to the extreme, and the next episode represents science to the extreme, showing us that no matter what you prefer to believe in, nothing is good when it's too extreme
The difference is problems made from believe in science is someone's personal choice, science did not ask that father to do anything like that, he did that because he care about his "honor" and personal goal more than his loved one's life. On the other hand, religion is literally causing all the issues, they took people's choice away by telling people they can receive unreal goal as long as they believe in god.
without science and religion, good people still do good things, bad people still do bad thing. However, only things like religion can make good people do bad things and bad people do bad thing while thinking they are doing them for god.
this episode is not talking about believe in science to extreme, this is about believe in personal gain and honor to extreme.
@@Rebuswind In either case, you are choosing one or the other to further your goals.
People who follow religion do so by choice. Religion does not take choice away. Just as Shou Tucker chose Science at an extreme to secure his title as State Alchemist, Rose chose Religion at an extreme to secure a future with her fiancé.
Stop using your subjective view points to criticize one or the other. That is not the way this show intended to display these issues
@@The4j1123 Thank you! You know how to use your brain. Certain people don't.
@@The4j1123 that is not true. If you have been convinced there is an Ultimate all powerful Authority, you will give up your own choice and listen to what they tell you to do. That is why there are suicide bombers under religion belief. That is why people who care about other people will think LGBTQ people are worth less than people because of their god said so. Religion make people go extreme, because they use extreme authority. There is no authority in science.
@@The4j1123 religion gave her the false hope she needed. She did not chose that. She would never do anything to hurt anyone of that false hope. That is why she went to extreme. She would just process her fiancé's death her own way of someone did not tell her they can bring him back.
It's not a L&M reaction without them making an impressive and accurate prediction while also missing some by a kilometer
equivalent exchange
@@ch1dd Even LM Reactions are bound by laws of alchemy
@@ch1dd genius
SPOILERS:
Getting accurately that the Doctor was experimenting with his family while also thinking Scar is Ed and Al's dad lmao
@@Maxisamo1 I started laughing way too hard when she said Scar was their dad😂
Me: Glances over, "Oh nice they uploaded a new FMA:B episode."
Realizes it's episode 4.
Me: Oh no...
Oh yes
I made a whole meal for it.
This case is definitely one of the biggest trauma for all, especially for the brothers.
Literally the one thing they seem to think about throughout the series.
This is nothing compared to Bondrewd from Made In Abyss
@@rockkiller124 Bro. Please. I just watched the movie a month ago. My mind isn't ready to go back there.
haha you definitely didn't watch grisaia no kajitsu if you think this is traumatic.
@@CozNothingIsForever Yes… but I was just a kid when I read this tragedy in manga lol
"This show has everything we want and love."
*Episode 4 enters chat*
You know what's crazy is that this was even sadder in the original 2003 anime. We spend multiple episodes with Nina and Alexander, and Shao Tucker isn't lamp shaded to be evil in nearly as obvious a way. They also changed around the timeline a little bit, it happens before Ed's State exam in that version (which is why he was studying with Tucker in the first place) so Ed was much younger too.
In FMA 2003 it's also the trigger that turns Scar into a killer. Just the entire early arc is done way better.
@@FoxMonkey-xw5yf still not better than brotherhood, it basically exists to fix the other one existence
@@marianoporta3257 This an an ignorant ass statement. Stop trying to be such an edgelord.
I believe all the remake version is supposed to better than the original tho
that's why it needs to be remaked..
same like HxH 2011, BAKI, Jojo, and many more..
also, that episodes has a special ending showing nina and alexander, just to drive the knife a little bit further
It's nice every once in a while to see pure, abject horror encapsulated in video form :)
it was done better in the original
@@DuoMaxwell007 2 episodes of character attachment followed by a new painting on the alley wall.
@@asirnewazkhan4172 honestly that was a good splatter. do you think scar was inspired by jackson pollock?
@@tabathaarria9558 with a hint Da Vinci probably
Makes me remember my first reaction to this episode :^)
Let’s be honest, we are all waiting for this episode. The sheer shock and denial on these two ladies’ faces…
Congrats, you have completed the rite of passage of becoming Fullmetal fans!
Personally, I feel that the rite of passage is continuing to watch after this happens. I know at least one person who noped out after this episode because it was too intense. I noticed they do have a reaction video for episode 5, so the Congratulations still stands
Nah, to be true fans, watch this scene but in the original FullMetal Alchemist series.
We can officially welcome y’all to fullmetal alchemist
FYI: this particular episode is infamous among anime fans for being the most screwed up thing they’ve ever seen. It’s universally recognized for scarring a large bit of the population.
If THATS the most screwed up thing they've ever seen, they clearly dont watch much anime o.O
Until I read and watched stuff like berserk…
@@Endisfree_ we dont mention berserk thats just a watch once and dont ever speak of it again type of show lol
@@smashbrandiscootch719 from what i can tell, they watched a little as kids but officially all they have seen is what they have reacted to on their channel
AoT, death note, etc.
@@thefool1188 And the award for completely misunderstanding someone else's comment and posting something completely irrelevant to anything the other person was saying goooooes toooooooo......Huh. The Fool. How fitting.
The Fated Episode…is here.
Glad you guys got to see this. It’s a watershed moment for anime, even people who haven’t watched this show have heard of pop culture references connected to this episode.
oniiii chan
Still breaks my heart every time...
There is another fated episode in this anime... we'll wait...
@@dianat881 Which one is that? Don't worry about spoilers, I've seen the anime, I'm just curious which episode?
@@jim2469 A certain character meets their end....some would say they were a fan favorite. 👓
@@EmoElmo007 it’s a bad day for rain…
this episode terrified me as a kid and then when i rewatched it as an adult, all i felt was sadness
the 2003 version of this and berry hard me scared shitless.
@@pandapo7542 omg yeah, it hit way harder too because we had more episodes with nina and alexander. I think their death was more brutal too if i remember correctly
@@madzie111 Yeah the original was pretty brutal... The build up to it made you care way more for her, and the deaths at the end hit hard.
Shit had me traumatized when I was little. Also remember... in FMA Nina says she is in pain and wants to die, that's why Scar kills her in there.
@@IrishBiteGirl thats so heartbreaking
I love Berry lol
It's a small comfort but... this series never gets quite THIS dark again.
It gets close. But its never this bad.
It is an awful day for rain.
@@LongandWeirdName but sir it isn't raining
@@LongandWeirdName i think Nina hits harder because she was a kid.
@Lord_Drogothag yes...yes it is...
easily the most infamous episode of fmab and maybe of any anime. while this series does have more dark moments theres nothing else that really approaches this level of bleakness again
Personally I prefer the original series to Brotherhood for this and one other thing as it is drawn out more, you get used to Nina and Alexander in the original over a series of episodes same with the other one and it is far more gut-wrenching that way imo
@@UncensoredScion Yeah but since this part was already in the first anime, there was no reason to drag it out.
IMO the world building and the characters are far better in FMAB though since it's the real vision of the author and not just "fillers" so everything fits better because obviously she knew where she was going with the story from the start.
@@sorkaem for what I know arcs like this one are more fast passed in fmab because they assumed that people already watched the other version, and I don't think it fits better because many people haven't watched that version and they don't learn about those characters and those stories as well as the ones who did
The Nina thing is shot for shot paced according to the manga. The manga doesn't give you more time than FMAB to get attached to Nina. Quite a few things from the start of the manga was cut or made short. This isn't one of them.
@@sorkaem Yeah over all I do 100% agree, the Brotherhood story is top tier and beats the original in most places, but those two things I've mentioned are more impactful in the original because we spend more time with them. imo
I would've loved hearing Brothers still in the OST though
You noticed when he said "I've just had an idea, do you want to play with daddy tomorrow?", but it's also worth noting what she said that gave him that idea: "If they say no, Alexander and I will growl at them until they say yes"
ohhh shieeeeeeet.......
I've actually never noticed that lol.
the only thing I didn't like with this version of FULL METAL ALCHEMIST, is that they made the shou tucker look and act suspicious.. in the first anime, he wasn't showing any indication of doing something despicable. so the chimera reveal was both surprising and unexpected.
FMAB is far closer to the manga... in the manga Tucker is weird, so you can glimpse something.
Also you're suppose to quickly do 1+1 with the date of death of his wife and the date of his first talking chimera.
@@blade7y156 Being closer to the manga doesn't mean much when the 2003 anime did this part of the story so well.
@@PearlChrash I don't say that FMAB did it better, I just explain how it makes sense to have done it this way.
Btw they also rushed this part because they knew that it was already made by the 2003 anime and most of the fans have already seen it.
@@PearlChrash Don't worry us OG know 2003 did it Way better. For as fucked us as Brotherhood was FMA did it WAY bettter.
The way Milena and Lola turned pale when seeing the chimera represents all of us in that episode, I still can't watch this without shaking and crying.
I love how threatening your "I would give my life for them." sounds LMAO
Look how happy these girls areee "My BABYSS!!"😂😂
Fun fact: Nina's death is worse in FMA than in Brotherhood
What happened in FMA?
@@izukumidoriya7625 In FMA she and Tucker are put in the back of a police car, something happens (I don’t remember) and she escapes. She ends up in a dead end alley and Scar finds her there and literally splatters her on the alley wall with his deconstruction
@@izukumidoriya7625 you spend two episodes with her and it shows the bond between her and the brothers more
@@serass6601 yes and the music, oh man 😭
@@serass6601 She also says she is in pain and wants to die, so it hits the feels a bit more as well. It's a scar on everyone who watched the '03 version growing up.
You know it’s dark when she had to express her disgust in serbian, great reaction as always👏👏
This is the only episode I remembered from when I was young, it still stuck with me over 10 years later
If I had a nickel for every time Ed and Al witnessed an alchemy-created abomination, I would have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice
No there are definately more than that
What do you call a soul binded to a suit of armor by alchemy?
@@rogeliobuy3741 he calls it brother xD
I love how well this juxtaposes the last episode of alchemists using religion to play god now using science to do it and becoming a devil. The extremes of both not picking a side or telling us which is better just showing us where both can lead. Then Ed’s final line after confronting both abuses of power with “were not gods, we’re not devils, we’re only human!” Gets me every time and I haven’t even mentioned scars amazing introduction
It's so cool to see someone actually been impacted by this episode, it is so famous right now that everyone on the anime community has seen a joke about Nina and Alexander even if they never watched fmab
Damn their pre-watch discussion was pretty good this ep. They've already got the themes of this show down pat.
That's the most impressive thing about them they really get the themes of the shows and the emotions of the characters.
Ah, yes, the depression speedrun episode is here.
Having watched FMA'03, I can't say our experiences were similar but it's always fun to watch how people take this story.
Easily one of the darkest and most disturbing episodes of an anime I've ever watched
Well.. * cough * we can officially say welcome to Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood I guess… Every old and new anime fan should experience the pain that is fmab episode 4 and experience the official worst dad in anime.
Um. No. There are far worse dads in anime. At least Shou didnt rape nina to death. There are SEVERAL examples of far worse fathers in anime.
Last episode was about the extremes in religion, and Edward praised science and alchemy when debating with the girl, while in this episode we see the extremes of science. None of them are good or bad on their own, it's what the people do with them that makes it horribly bad or amazingly good.
except nowhere in science does it try to dictate how you live your live by threatening/rewarding you with the promise of an afterlife/eternal suffering, either way religion and science by themselves arent the issues.... humans are, having free will is what truly dictates
@@AgentSephiroth Your last sentence is awfully reminding me of someone.
Science flies you to Mars. Religion flies you into buildings.
One is clearly superior.
@@smashbrandiscootch719 Undoubtedly, atomic bombs and all weapons of mass destruction that we have were made by religious people and they used mystical knowledge to create these weapons, because science is only used for the good of humanity.
I don't think Cornello was more religious than religious characters in the show who are good people, and Tucker wasn't more scientific than other characters who study science. I'd say it's more specifically that they didn't care about the people impacted by their actions and found a way to justify it, which can happen no matter whether you are devoted to religion or follow a scientific perspective. Like you said, there are a wide range of worldviews people have, and you can be a good person following the vast majority of them, but people also find ways to to horrific things no matter what worldview they follow.
Shou Tucker remains one of the most hated Anime characters ever. Pretty much in everyone's Top 3 hated characters.
This anime will have you feel so many different emotions and every character is part of the journey. I'm so happy to see this reaction.
I like how last episode they showed the extrems of religion and this episode the extrems of science. It always shows the the 2 sides.
Equivalent exchange. 😬😬😬
Very cool show.
this is "Feels Mental Alchemist: Emotional Damage"
9:11 there was an entire episode of the first fma adaptation about that guy and his run in with the Elric bros.
That episode I feel like couldve been fit into this series as well
When I first saw this episode, I was so broken I needed to take a break. It took me 4 months to revisit this show again. This specific episode still hurts, but this is one of the best shows I’ve seen.
If you need a break, many of us will completely understand, but come back when you’re ready. It will be worth it

thank you sm for the timestamps!
It's so crazy how this episode is THIS episode. When it condensed an arc that originally took a long time into a single episode because it assumes you already watched the first one. I really wish there was some way to splice like the first ~20 episodes of the original series and continue with brotherhood from there, because brotherhood rushes through so much. And this moment, this scene, is like 10x more impactful and heart wrenching in the original.
Minus two chapters being omitted and repurposed, FMAB is far closer to the manga, especially in regards to what the 2003 series adapted.
One of the aspects of this show’s genius is the balance. This is one of the most horrific, dark scenes you could ever imagine, but this show will balance it out with other scenes that are incredibly heartwarming. This show is both serious and humorous. It will make you laugh and cry. It won’t keep you in one emotional state for so long that you feel you’re drowning, but it doesn’t make the ride easy either. I love this show so much. I’m excited to continue on with y’all.
In the Japanese original dub "Let's play" is the verb "Asobu". I remember when we learned that verb in my Japanese class in Uni, and half a class nearly started crying...
Good news, while much more darkness is up ahead, there's nothing quite as horrifying as this in the rest of the show, imo at least.
Didn't expect the Serbian coming out this soon. This'll be a good series.
It’s crazy how a show made me physically Recoil. I’ve watched so many shows, anime and irl. But this show is something special, one of the only shows to actually make me feel sick, without having to show any gore or pop ups. That’s how you tell the story.
Man, nobody ever gets over this one. It was even worse in the original series, from what I remember. This must make a lot of those "top 10 most traumatic anime episodes" lists.
Yeah, most things early on are done better in the original series. The creators of Brotherhood have confirmed that they expected that everyone watching it would have already seen the original, so they rushed through the shared material and imo it shows. On the other hand, most people who only watch Brotherhood still enjoy it, so clearly it works.
Side note, I didn't remember until watching this reaction that Brotherhood at least mentions Yoki and Youswell in passing this episode, rather than ignoring that arc entirely at this point like I had thought.
@@nescirian better? no, different maybe. Brotherhood is all round better, I didn't need several episodes to be attached to Nina and Alexander or feel how tragic it was. This is a good balance

Nina and Huges death are worse in the original bc we spend more time with them.
@@danielfonseca4849 👍 and the music in the original made it more sad 😭
@@nescirian For the most part, I think streamlining it was a good idea. The original honestly spent too much time on plots that ended up being mostly irrelevant to the main story, like the previous arc of the Sun god Leto, that this just covered in one episode. It caused the first series to really stall in some places that weren't important and even got boring occasionally because of it. The only part I really miss from the original series was *_SPOILER_*

the brothers catching the original Butcher, when he was an unknown human. It gave his appearance later much more impact.
this episode never gets less intense and disturbing. i still get shivers
"Their father, he must be evil for abandoning his children"
Hoo boy
I've never made it through this episode without tears. It has stuck with fans forever, and I think this moment sticks with our boys forever, too
All these years later this still brings me to tears.
as for the show ,there was a 2003 ver of it and they show the first half of the whole story with much more details ,but back then the comice itself was not end yet ,so 2003ver had another ending allalone with the movie .so when this 2009ver came out ,they jumped alot details for the storys that 2003 had showed ,but I appreciate every ver of it fullmetal alcomist is an amazing show
yeah they should watch the 2003 version first.. goes more in depth in the early episodes that I feel Brotherhood didnt do justice
@@coke1011 overall brotherhood is just better
@@coke1011 I really wish the Youswell episode was in Brotherhood... One of my all time favourite episodes.
i always loved the contrast between the last episode and this one. ep 3 shows the danger of blind faith and religion and this ep shows the danger of blind ambition and scientific advancement and how both lead to despair. one of the best written manga/anime ever
Honestly when I know how I felt when I was kid while seeing nina arc in fma 2003 , I know that people who just watch Brotherhood miss something ,it was just so SHOCKING back then and more impactful because much more longer
This episode and the last one are really important for the themes of the show. We are shown two sides of the faith/science divide, one where someone invokes faith in order to justify their corruption, the other invoking science to justify their callousness. Both villains use people for their own selfish ends, but frame their actions in a broader, grander context. Meanwhile, Ed and Al reject these two villains as being clearly wrong, but both represent logical extensions of their past actions and future goals, and they're going to need to contend with that
"Emotional damage? We have that, and a lot of it" - Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood
I mean, I'd say for you two watch a comedy show after this one... but I get the feeling you two like emotional pain...
ONLY bad thing about brotherhood is how heavy handed they were with shou tucker being bad, they made it so obvious where as in the first anime they made you like him over few epsiodes before he did the deed
The cow goes moo,
the sheep goes baa,
the cat goes meow
the dog goes Ed...Ward
I couldn't find enough motivation to start this show but now that LM had started reacting I'm going to binge it as well so that I can keep watching their reactions.
Since AOT is finish for now. How about Vinland Saga? It’s animated by the same studio that animated the first 3 seasons for AOT. Both of you would love it, it’s about Vikings and a different take on Vengeance and hatred
Oh yeah that's a really good suggestion.
I got into FMAB without knowing much, and although the themes they dealt with were pretty mature in the first episodes, I didn't know about the limits this show might be pushing. This episode was a huge shock to me. I remember I was sitting there just staring into nothing for some time after it ended. I still skip the most of it when I watch reactions because it is just too disturbing (I watched almost all your reaction though). This set the tone of FMAB for me, and showed me how this show is really not playing around. You are in for a ride and I can't wait for more of your reactions!
You should see the 2003 version. It's even worse because you get two episodes to get to know and trust Nina and Tucker. Plus to me Ticket felt less ominous until the reveal but I can't really speak to much on that because I knew what was coming when I saw Brotherhood.
I had the same blank stare while trying to figure out how to turn my brain back on without feeling the trama.
@@matthewzeller5026 yeah the 03 version does a lot of things in the earlier half of the story a lot better than brotherhood. they're just a bit more fleshed out in honor to the manga
@@tinor9591 Yeah. Although it's great, a few more episodes definitely would have made some plot lines better.
Your reactions at the line “Big brother Ed” were SO priceless! So spot on to how the rest of us felt watching this too lol
Congratulations! You’ve gotten through what’s widely regarded as the saddest episode! (There are still plenty of depressing moments, but this one is by popular opinion the one that’s most painful)
“What the fuck did we just watch?”
i think it’s just asian childhood on so many level
I've been watching Fmab reaction videos for a long time from all sorts of different channels and it's always fun to watch a new channel. You guys are going to love this anime, for me I've seen it easily over 10 times and I have no doubt in saying this is the best written story of all time. There's so much meaning, metaphor, foreshadowing, twists etc it's insane so keep making sure to pay close attention to the dialogue and making connections as you already are.
💯
I seem to have lost the love of reaction videos of any channel to shows but I had to come see this one and omg this show just screams 10/10 even thougI watched it a long time ago it still is in my top 3 anime of all time Love your videos am a long time subscriber who had to see your reaction to Nina.
This never gets easier to watch, this hit even harder in the first FMA anime because you spend more time with Nina and Alexander and that makes it even more soul crushing. I actually stopped watching the show for like 3 weeks after that episode in the first FMA series, I was absolutely shocked, disgusted and depressed after watching this for the first time.
this episode in both versions is chilling. it made me realize this was a seriously good anime, not just good.
They cut it out of the anime, but in the manga, after Al stops Ed from punching him, Tucker starts going on again, and Al says something to the effect of "If you don't shut up, this time I'll be the one to snap"
“The next punch will come from me”
I watched this anime when I was 13 years old. I loved every chapter, the characters and the mistery of the villains. I just can say the new characters will have big roles for the story.
I was not expecting to cry at this scene by rewatching it on a reaction channel. I thought i was over it already.
I’m conflicted between wanting to see their reaction , But I don’t want to go through the trauma of this episode again.
I legitimately had nightmares for a week , and almost abandoned continuing watching FMAB altogether after this.🥺
Glad I didn’t do that though 😌
The sheer terror on their faces 😂😂😂😂
well the thumbnail says it all doesn’t it…also, i loved how lola immediately clocked the wife “ran out” 👀
L&M: It's so nice to start a good show with so much wholesomeness. I'm so glad its going to be like this.
Arcane, Invincible & FMA: Uhhh, about that...
well these are nothing compared to bersek
This came out 12 years ago.. and every now and then I'll see a meme about this episode.. and my comment (and almost everyone elses) reads "To soon!"
Other than the horrible thing in this ep. I really like how Scar coming in play, punished the most evil scientists of all times.
Yeah...Not exactly for younger children lol. I've seen grown men cry watching this episode.
The thing I find impressive about FMAB is they can make you fall in love with characters within an episode or two
Something I like much better in the sub is that Scar doesn't clarify human souls.
At the end in sub he says "Two souls have been returned to you" indicating Nina and Alexander rather than Nina and Tucker.
And as everyone else has says, the manga writer drew did not draw Tucker going to heaven like she had done for everyone else who died.
Good for Tucker (he deserves it). I almost wanted to commit Lainah after watching this episode for the first time.
Just think, there are reactors out there who said “Idk if I can/want to watch this show” after this episode, and then those same reactors cry tears of joy at the end at how good the series was. Don’t let the lows of the show shoo you away!!! The lows the show puts you on makes the highs feel so good.
Shou Tucker. The most hated man in all anime fandom
gabi: hold my rifle
@@marodonthemorone Gabi was redeemed Tucker was never liked ever.
I don't want to spoil, but a certain character form Berserk might be more hated. But FMAB is more popular so maybe not.
big hugs from across the internet. This is definitely one of the darkest moments. It shows just how evil some people in that world are (and our own). As I am sure others have pointed out, last episode showed the evil that comes if people trust blindly in the words of others, and this episode shows the evil that comes if you blindly chasing progress, to the detriment of all else.
11:43 love how in tune you are with the predictions, it seriously feels like you've seen these animes !
“we know we’re not devils. we know we’re not gods. we’re human….we’re only human!”😭 Episode 3 showed the extremes of religion, this one showed the extremes of science. any ideology can be twisted. don’t worry, this is a right of passage that we all went thru 🥺 haha yes, which sin do you exude the most? I’m def a gluttonous weeb 🤤
In the original Full Metal Alchemist anime there was a lot more build up and you spent a lot more time with the little girl and her dog over several episodes. It made the reveal hit so much harder.
While Brotherhood did an amazing job with the story and cut out a lot of the unnecessary filler and nonsense, it really did a disservice to this particular story arc.
It is also kinda stunning how much of an impact they got it to make when we only knew Nina for one episode
Their reactions to the chimera seen everytime it talks 😂😂😂 we all had the same reaction
I'm not sure if anyone has told you, but these episodes are so deep/fast pace because there was Fullmetal Alchemist anime in 2003 were these episodes were longer arcs. The show happened before the manga was finished, so what happens after a certain point is entirely made up for the show. FMA: Brotherhood follows the manga's full story.
So we spent a few episodes with Rose, Cornelio, etc... but they wrapped it all into single episodes in Brotherhood.
Ngl I feel a little guilty about the sheer joy I felt watching them realize what happened this episode lol
This show is just so well written it's insane.
Everybody who has already seen Fullmetal alchemist brotherhood secretly looks forward to seeing somebody's reaction video to this episode because it took us ALL off guard and made us ALL feel sick when we first saw it. Welcome LM to the FMAB family 👏
Nah, just fma in general. Fma, fmab, fma ova’s, fma cos, fmabssm , and manga
17:50 : This music was perfect for this moment of sadness , the OST of this anime are sumptuous.
I think these last couple of episodes were more dramatic and powerful in the first FMA
Mandatory comment after every episode 4 Reaction:
Episode 3 is the dark side of religion
Episode 4 is the dark side of science
Can we have an anime with both's good sides?
@@abhabh6896 I don't know about an anime with both but Dr stone sure does show the best side of science imo
I commented back on the first episode that it would be a tough journey but worth it. Don't worry they don't drill you with tragedy forever, there is just enough to create a sense of meaningful impact.
The first time i saw this episode i got traumatized, now every time i see it i can only remember the "why did you teach the dog spanish"
This is one of the most dark moments of anime ever, it's pretty iconic even from the original series. The worst part was people turning it into a meme. Luckily for you it won't be this dark after this moment.
Its sort of a coping mechanism for anime fans. I've seen all anime fandoms using memes to cope with tragic moments. Popular instance: Half jokes from Marco in AOT (you know the one)
Bro the creator memes is, how is it the worst part
yikes, imagine when they react to re: zero and Shield hero. They're gonna Scream with rage and cry at the same time. But yeah, this FMA episode is the Greatest and darkest episode ever. Even after YEARS its over, this episode is pretty much the THEE episode when I think of FMA. Its not JUST dark, its sad, tragic and sickening (even literally for some humans) all in one episode. Not just anime but in general.
@@adamh4h4 Wait, did they say they will react to Re:Zero and Shield Hero in their Patreon?
@@okuigokublack Nah. That depends on their patrons and themselves. Most likely not looking at the stuff they watch.
This episode is the equivalent to Aot S1ep5 in the terms of shock value in the beginning of a show
Milena and Lola
At the beginning of the episode: 🎉😌✨😍
In the middle of the episode: 😐🤔😶😕
At the end of the episode: 😧😨😰😩🤢
Just started watching the video. You look so happy without knowing what's coming 😂
And now we get to wait for the next most tragic episode after, and we'll just go on from there
in the 2003 version this episode is even more shocking since they present the dr as alot nicer (this anime is closer to the manga in the long run but early on cut stuff out so people who watched the 2003 version dont need to see the same beginning stuff even though some of its important)
Don’t forget 2003 gives Tucker donkey ears later, like I know they were running out of manga materials, but come on, really?!
I watched 2003 and Brotherhood , 2003 one goes deep in relationship and human nature , but i love both of them as it gives me a complete package .
@@blueor yeah im specifically only talking about the first like half of the 2003 version which is cannon and i suggest people watch those episodes since they add to this series
Reaction videos like this made me realize that I'm messed up , i enjoy watching people shocked and distressed at things that shocked and distressed me in the past
Idk how much normal people are acquainted with the process of research, but among us researchers there's the mantra of "publish or perish". You can work hard your whole career but if you don't publish, you're not going anywhere. On top of that, research is like 90% failure, so most of it goes either unpublished or published into nameless journals that take negative data. So there's been many cases when researchers have seen things that weren't there, just so they could keep publishing (see: STAP cells, Koko the gorilla (though the latter is controvertial)).
