Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood 63 THE OTHER SIDE OF THE GATEWAY reaction 

I just listening to it in the background Grinding ores in subnautica and it still got to me

Funny thing is, every time I rewatch it, it actually becomes harder not to cry. I watched this series for the first time when I was a teenager. I loved it, but I didn't fully understand the layers that it has. I think this is the halmark of a great series, it becomes better and better on every rewatch.

No, I loved him straight from the beginning.

That's the truth. But the dwarfs door was also blank. Because he didn't learn anything.

Yes, but "THE answer" was "there's nothing wrong with being human", humans are flawed beings. What's wrong is seeking perfection when it's impossible, trying to get rid off of your humanity (or, in Father's case, your human origin) forgetting everything that makes you human only for the sake of getting more power/knowledge (that's what almost every Homunculi realized in the end, that they weren't perfect). That's why the Dwarf's door was blank, he didn't learned anything in the sense that all his knowledge and power were obtained just for the sake of getting more power and knowledge. He didn't make friends, he didn't learn from his mistakes, his "journey" from a Dwarf in Xerxes to a god-like being in Amestris was completely pointless and empty. He wanted freedom, there's nothing wrong with that (Hohenheim also wanted that, that's why he gave that look to Father when he was being dragged to the portal), but you can't go against your nature. Ed understood that, he understood that he was just a human from the beginning. That it was impossible to save Trisha and that he was helpless to save Nina. A human has to be humble like Ed and Al (and Hohenheim), not prideful like Father and the Homunculi. At least that's what I get from Arakawa's philosophy.

The whole story is hoehiem not Ed's or al.

@@greed4204 In a way, it is.

Hhmm...I don't remember it, but I was a real mess, it's possible I didn't see it xD I'll go back and check ;)

@@kyuujinreacts Haha yeah, been there.

Thruth themselve said Father hasn't grown.

Except Mustang wasn't a womanizer, Sloth died from physical damage, not overwork. Greed wasn't fulfilled, he just sacrificed himself. Before Gluttony was eaten, Greed was also "eaten" by Father, so it doesn't really mean anything. Wrath died with both his arms violently amputated, it was anything but a calm death.

@@SSS-ie6mh Greed literally said "it's enough... Yeah, it's enough. I don't need anything else anymore. Farewell". Fighting is physical activity for Sloth, Warth died saying his life was worth living, that he was happy with it, contempt, at peace with the decisions he made. Something of a smile on his face. Fair enough but Lust did die from a man defending a woman he loved, not one he lusted after. Someone he generally cared about as a person.

Oh no D: r.i.p you talented man ):

And 2003 fma

The bloopers will seem weird with them having watched sub instead of dub.

@@burk314 you are right... but still... why not? =)

I didn't mean they shouldn't watch the bloopers. They will be hilarious either way. Just be prepared for comments like "he sounds so weird!"

A word humility makes more sense since its capable of dishing out such despair. You cant really teach some hard but needed truths to someone you love since it requires a sacrifice.

Yeah, Hohenheim's death is much more emotional than Hughes' death. Hughes' death it's more shocking I think and his funeral is very sad (specially because of Elysia and Mustang), but when Hohenheim dies we already love all the characters and have watched them for 63 episodes. It also help the fact that almost everyone hate Hohenheim from the beginning and we learn to love him after we learn his tragic backstory and his mistakes and profound guilt... it's losing a character that made you change your perspective about things. Also, the way Hohenheim's story is told (from Ed's point of view), when it comes to an end is like losing a father. I think that's why (SPOILERS FROM EPISODE 64) . . . they don't need to show us the Elric brothers reaction, because in a way we've already felt it in our own reaction to his death. And yes, I've watched his death on almost every reaction channel and I cry every time xd

^^this!

Near the top for me but i get your choice.

Thank you n.n (the crying and emotional confusion is gonna get worst in the last episode xD There's a lot of freaking out involved!!) We don't want this to end either D:

@@kyuujinreacts The crying and the freaking out is what makes this even better xD We people who watch reaction channels are a bunch of voyeurist that love watching people's suffering xd sorry

@@felipeaquitral Haha, that's so true !! This story is one which I have the most difficulties to withdraw from ! (ew ... is it even english ? :/ ) Thankfully there are reaction channels to give me my fix ^^

Thank you!! :D

In Mange, Hohenheim meet Trisha in the other side. I just hope BONES make this part......

That was a total surprise!!! I had no idea it was even an option ahah xD

Don't worry you aren't the only one. I really love the moral of this show, it's consistent from the beginning to the end. Many others would have indeed sacrified Hohenheim as he is the easy solution (in a narrative way, I mean), but Ed's alchemy is so much smarter and more original. It's totally logical though, as alchemy has been shown in the whole story as an incredibly powerful tool that misleaded so many people of what really matter in life (Tucker, Berthold Hawkeye, the gold-tooth doctor and so many scientists), like money and power in our real world. Yet Hohenheim realizing that now he wants to live a bit more, after searching for a way to die for so long, is so frustrating ! This makes his death easily as emotionnal as it would have been if he had sacrified himself for Al. Damn, I love this show !!

I did notice the ressemblance while I was editing the episode!! :D the level of details in this show is incredible n.n

The truth is everyone ... And one "person" in the same time ...

@@kyuujinreacts I did notice one thing. When truth talked to Ed, truth has two voices. Ed's voice has a little bit noisy but truth's voice include al's voice in the same time. This detail is so emotional and intelligent. I am sorry for my english. It's bad :D

@@kyuujinreacts If one day you and Ember rewatch FMAB, you'll be amazed at all the hints and details throughout the whole anime ... For example one in the dub, almost Greed's first words to Al : "My name's Greed, and I wanna be your friend ..."

Thank you :D we'll add your suggestion to our list of possible reactions ;)

The bloopers!! :D yes! We'll upload them next week ;)

I know!!! D: I'm not ready to say goodbye T.T

Yeah that's been a problem since the beginning xD her accent makes it hard to understand (she's been trying though ;) recently she's tried to say it more slowly)

We didn't really plan on doing a reaction, but we'll talk about it and see if we have time :D

@@kyuujinreacts I hope you will 😁

I don't know if we would do a reaction the same way we did for Brotherhood, but a review/discussion?? Maybe :D

@@kyuujinreacts No, don't need to do a reaction, but is worth a watch. Some people get disappointed because the writing/pacing is not as tight, and the tone is more dark/melancholic but it's amazing regardless. Just expect a different experience overall.

Thank you!! n.n

It depends on the character, but I can't help but think that even if a character is good, doesn't really excuse the things he's done :/ (in Hohenheim's case, I feel like we see his story from Ed's point of view until we finally get the truth, so after that it's easy to justify him, but he's still a shitty father ahah xD I love him though)

@@kyuujinreacts True and their mother is a shitty mother. hahaha

Thank you n.n

Thank you n.n

Well sorry, but we prefered the sub 🤷
