Finally, Finally, after weeks of waiting, ep 9 is up and running. Not more or less drama than last time, but a different kind. Al doesn't do his petulant running away thing, but he has an explosive outburst and it's Ed who leaves the room, and Winry unleashes her wrenches of fury on Al for once. It surprised me that the doctors didn't like, strap Ed to the bed and feed him through a tube with all the excitement that kept opening up his wounds, and I'll bet he caught it hot from the doctors after their sparring match. Elicia is so utterly adorable, and I loved Hughes' speech to Winry during her party. He's so sweet and gentle and loving without the goofiness, and he dotes on his daughter without it getting quite as annoying. Guess her birthday isn't the same as Ed's this time around, more's the pity. As for the preview, looks like we're saying farewell to our friend Hughes next ep. Wonder if it'll make me cry as much as it did the first time around...
Yeah, Ed doesn't share the b-day with Elicia. I actually prefer the manga Rush Valley version much better. I liked Winry's involvement in delivering the baby, and of course she starts her apprenticeship after her experience there, so it just makes me sense to me. But, yeah, cute picture of Hughes' family.
I wonder if next ep will have the emotional impact that 25 did in the first anime. I don't think it will. I remember reading the manga and thinking it just wasn't nearly as wrenching, not that it wasn't sad, but it just didn't shock me as much. I remember watching 25 and thinking, "He's really dead? No, he can't be."
Anyway, good ep. I'm glad I finally got to see it. I'd been periodically checking the site earlier in the week, but gave up. Glad you posted the new post or I wouldn't have known it was back up. We're a week behind, now, though, so will FUNi put up the next ep soon? Anyone have any info on that?
