Has full metal alchemist ever made you cry?

[Mr.Blik]

there was one ep that did it was when that sick bastard the sewing life alchemist he had used his wife to create her into a chimera then his daughter n dog.i hardly did.

[miko hanyou]

Well it has made me tear up but i haven't cried in one.

[Gerudo Grunt]

I've never cried while watching a FMA episode.

[sikyon]

Kind of teared up, so I'll let that go as shedding a tear. Actually that episode where tucker made the chimera it really pissed me off that he wasn't summarily executed by Ed.

[Tidusauron12]

there was one ep that did it was when that sick bastard the sewing life alchemist he had used his wife to create her into a chimera then his daughter n dog.i hardly did.

That's the ep. that got me. Also, when Scar killed the chimera (the daughter and dog) at the end, when Ed and Al found the body, my body started to feel weak, it made me emotional. That episode got me addicted to the series.

[sikyon]

I was kind of relived when the chimera was executed and decided that scar wasn't so bad... I mean, I couldn't stand to see Nina+the dog like that.

[I love ed]

What Episode Made Me Cry

The one were Hughs get killed,There was this one scene were his daughter was yelling,"Dont let them bury daddy!If they bury them he cant wake up and do his paper work!"

I cried like a baby. :crybaby:

[Xider]

Are you kidding? Has FMA ever made me cry? Seriously?

1) When Nina is turned into a chimera and when Scar kills her.
2) When Hughes is killed and his daughter is at the funeral. (Dear god)
3) When Al starts to freak out thinking he is fake and he ditches his bro.
4) When Ed gets pissed and throws the cup at Al and Al just says, "Brother."

Yeah. That is a sad fooking show.

[Dark Soap]

I cried twice: the episode with Hughes funeral, and the whole Chimera episode.

[Jake_maveric_05]

When Nina(tuckers daughter) die's. Thats sad and wrong.

and when Huges die's. He was freaking funny and cool.

[Vash9189]

When Hughes died. :(

[yangster]

I haven't cried. I felt sad when Hughes died but didn't cry about it.

[Setafox]

Both my friend and I bawled like babies when Hughes died. He was one of my all time favorite charecters.

[Nomnomnom]

What Episode Made Me Cry

The one were Hughs get killed,There was this one scene were his daughter was yelling,"Dont let them bury daddy!If they bury them he cant wake up and do his paper work!"

I cried like a baby. :crybaby:
Same here, thats one of the saddest moments in anime, besides the ending to Wolf's Rain.

[Mr Gundam]

Nope, I've only seen the first twelve episodes and I haven't cried. I somehow doubt that I will cry anyways from seeing the rest of FMA. The only time I actually felt sorry for an anime character was in G Gundam when Master Asia died.

[I love ed]

Same here, thats one of the saddest moments in anime, besides the ending to Wolf's Rain.

Whats the ending to wolfs rain?I dont watch it or anything,but if it's sad i would like to know :|

[memorexia]

Yes, plently. It can be a sad anime at times.

[Darksora]

Whats the ending to wolfs rain?I dont watch it or anything,but if it's sad i would like to know :|

Spoiler Warning!!!! (Everyone dies.)

[Darksora]

FMA is pretty sad... but why Nina!!!

[Matsu'o Tsurayaba]

Almost,but no episode made me cry.Its a great anime,though.

[DragonsBane]

I almost cries after the episode "night of the Chimera's cry" where Shou Tucker turned his daughter Nina into a Chimera and then scar killed it.
http://c.1asphost.com/hlmetal/tn_fullmetal155.jpg
In memory of Nina Tucker.
Screwed over by her jerk of a father

[Dr. Ezra]

I haven't cried at all. I hope I will eventually, though. No anime series is complete without a few tears shed.

[lordcanti0]

i teared up when hughes died, and what everyone else is talking about where tucker turns his daughter into a chimera... dang that man is twisted and if i culd kill any anime charictor over and over again it wuld be that... cant say it on here but u all know what i was gana say

[IceFox]

I didn'y cry over it but i did get a little teary eyed when Hughs died :crybaby:

[Chizuru]

DragonBanes right about Nina's father being a jerk. I was crying during that episode..and when Hughes dies..and the episode when they remember their mother (course that was only a tear.) The only anime to ever make me cry >.< I swear I wanna go over to japan and re-write the part where Hughes dies. He was so cool. Darn you people that made FMA!

[bakademic729]

Same here.
the moments i cried were when hughes died and his daughter was crying too.
i felt so good after that cause only Voices of a Distant Star made me cry like that.

[lifeguardliz]

I cried on the Chimera thing. But something interesting, on the one about their mom. I was watching with my dad (who doesn't watch anime) and he cried! Because he lost his mom in a car accident in his early teens. He could relate to Ed and Al. Isn't that depressing?

[ninjaspazz]

omg, don't mention Wolf's Rain. that was SO sad... but FMA is the anime i've teared up the most on, and actually shed a tear. The chimera ep (and i also would like to kill Tucker over and over, in a most painful way :ssj: ) and when Hughes died... i almost lost it when his little girl started yelling all that stuff, cuz she reminded me of my little 5 yr old sis... :'(

[Rai Kumo]

Yes, I will have to admit to crying once like a baby, and getting tear-full once.

I was Okay through the whole Hughes episode, but then at the very end when his duaghter was cryng that he had a lot of work to do and she didn't understand why he was being buried, I got a little tearful, but didn't actually cry.

The thing with Nina just made me mad, and made me think about how sick some people are. It also made me feel sick, but I didn't tear up even a little.

But when I really, really started bawling was at the end. SPOILER!! (This is the ending to the series, so I'm not sure if you really want to spoil yourself on it!) (highlight) [When Ed brings Al back to life, but the cost is Al's memories of their past years together since their mother died. He forgets it all. He then doesn't know what happened to his brother, and goes back to Sensie to study alchemy and try to find his brother.] I was seriously crying then....

[BrendantheJedi]

I've cried once to FMA. When the Nina Chimra got killed by Scar.

[chickaboom]

I'm lighthearted, so I have always cried when a main (or important) character dies in FMA. (or, it may just have to do with my strong attatchment towards the series. XD) So far, the episode with the flashback where the elric's mother died and the episode where Hughes is killed have made me sob. They were both so heartbreaking. :crybaby:
I couldn't help but also cry at the end of the episode, 'the night of the Chimera's cry', but not as much for a reason. Heh, I actually hear that the end of the series is more depressing than those three episodes put together, so I really dunno what I'm in for. :unsure:

As emotional as I am though, FMA is the only anime series that has really made me cry. =/ (aside from some of Samurai X) Its sad, yet can be so funny at times too. XD Can't help but to giggle when someone calls the blondie a 'pipsqueak'!

[FURUBA4EVER]

:lol: You're just like me! I cry during Fullmetal Alchemist a lot. (It balances out the laughing, I guess...) "Night of the Chimera's Cry" had me crying...It was sad...I haven't seen the episode with Hughes's death, though...That one will probably have me bawling.

And, yes, I heard the end of the series is sad...Even the movie. Guess we have to prepare ourselves, huh?

(Oh, and I cried a lot at the end of Samurai X: Reflections.) :)

[Lady Lyra]

Hmmm... wasn't there a thread like this already?

*shrugs*

My saddest moment was when Hughes was killed. The funeral scene did me in. I was crying hard. ^^ And the only other time I've cried while watching TV was like when I was 12 and watching a certian part of the Fox and the Hound. XXD

[YaoiItsumoZutto]

I almost cried when Hughes got killed. And, the ending of the series was a tear-jerker. And, I almost cried a second time when at the end, when Ed got killed (but not permanently, of course, or there'd be no story left).

[FMAGirl]

The end of the series made me cry.

[Envyrocks]

Later eps made meh cry... and such but i wont reveal... spoilers and such T_T

[DanteSF]

I teared up during "Night of the Chimera's Cry", but that was tempered by the fact that I wanted Ed to beat Tucker to death with his bare freaking hands.
I was PISSED when Huges was murdered, but I just started bawling during his funeral, hearing his little girl...
"Mommy, why are they burying daddy?"
*whimper*

[~*(Jaded)*~]

I cried when Nina died, Hughes died, and when Ed "died" at the end of the series. You could call me a cry baby I guess. *rolls eyes*

[AngelOfHell]

there was one ep that did it was when that sick bastard the sewing life alchemist he had used his wife to create her into a chimera then his daughter n dog.i hardly did.

yeah, that one made me cry aswell

[Evil_Koala]

Never...I was close to it when I saw Nina as a chamara and then almost did when scar killed her...but I never actually cried...I was on the verge of tears though.

[Killer Robot]

Wow I thought I was the biggest dork ever when I kind of cried whilst watching the episode when Hughs died and the whole chimera one. wow. People really did make fun of me a lot.
hahah this message board is really funny because here are a bunch of people who actually like full metal alchemist like me hahahaha. wow. ima a dork.

[Killer Robot]

I went to that Comic Con thing and found a booth there that had full metal alchemist and their was a giant sized Al and I took a picture with it. haha.

<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v653/nomusicnolife203/COMIC%20CON/ALandI.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com">

[.iloveinuyasha.]

well the episode The cry of the chimera [[ i think that's the name ]] where Nina is turned into a chimera, oh man i really cried. It was just so sad... that's the episode that got me really hooked on the show.

[Malon]

Yeah definitely when Hughes died. And I was kinda tearing up when Al thought his memories fake.

[the_dreamer123]

:crybaby: In several episodes I was sobbing, I cried a lot in "Night of the Chimera's Cry"...a lot in some of the remember when episodes. I've been crying a lot in this new season, too. Pretty much every episode. Lol, call me a sap. :crybaby: :) ^_^

[YaoiItsumoZutto]

Which epy have you seen up to?

[Erhy]

Are you kidding? Has FMA ever made me cry? Seriously?

1) When Nina is turned into a chimera and when Scar kills her.
2) When Hughes is killed and his daughter is at the funeral. (Dear god)
3) When Al starts to freak out thinking he is fake and he ditches his bro.
4) When Ed gets pissed and throws the cup at Al and Al just says, "Brother."

Yeah. That is a sad fooking show.

Not really cried..only shed a tear or two ;)

[regus 5000]

episode 35 with the petrafying (sp!) disease. i cried when the little boy died and when lust did her dirty bussiness. why are women so cruel

[Envyslilpuppy]

Yeah when Hughes got killed I was all watery, but somehow I still couldn't hate Envy.
And something tells me there's gonna be more sadness in the near future for FMA.

[regus 5000]

episode 35 with the petrafying (sp!) disease. i cried when the little boy died and when lust did her dirty bussiness. why are women so cruel

that episode came on tonigh. so so sad

[Tidusauron12]

That Fossils Disease was gross, but why did Lust kill him?

(I know the answer don't tell me.)

I thought she was in love with him.

[regus 5000]

no the wasnt him in the flash backs it was......
wont spoil it.

[Tidusauron12]

no the wasnt him in the flash backs it was......
wont spoil it.

I know it was... 'covers mouth.'

But still, she let him hug her once before, and taught him the way of the alchemy.

[Tidusauron12]

Ok, this thread is much more suitable for the job... that the newer one is trying to cover.

[moni-chan]

i had tears in my eyes about Nina but thats mostly it though....

[Metal Soul]

New guy here, anyway i had tears in my eyes too, because of nina i wasnt expecting that at all T.T. But full metal alchemist ROCKS :p

[moni-chan]

^ hey there hope ya like it here on AN!

[Amanda Fields]

I'm 11 and very emotional,so I cried in like the one with barry the butcher in his human for,the first episode,when hughes dies and his funeral,the camera episode,the one where scar almost killed Ed and Al,When Ed freaked out after he killed Greed,uuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmm.......I think that is all...oh oh,I got a link to a sad FMA clip thingy called "Trisha did you know?"

http://www.youtube.com/watch.php?v=MaBU3pAKtmI&search=Full%20Metal%20Alchemist%20Christ mas

if you click on the last screenbelow the clip,it makes it cover a whole page.

[Amanda Fields]

Forgot to tell you the clip has spoilers!

[Amanda Fields]

UUUUUUUMMMMMMMM............oh oh oh,if you need cheering up after the "Trisha Did You Know?" clip here are 3 more links to funny FMA thingys

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqzBOc-XnsM


http://youtube.com/watch.php?v=p7NY6YYXIMI

http://youtube.com/watch.php?v=6-4H8FdrvYY

[Yatsuhiko]

Probably the episode stated in the first few posts. Though I don't think I actually cried. Just maybe felt really sad. Same for the recent one with the whole disease thing.

[Tidusauron12]

That disease was very wicked. If it really existed, maybe even I would be scared of it.

[Matsu'o Tsurayaba]

No,FMA did not make me cry,but there were good moments at times.The viewer could easily be on level with the characters of the anime.

[~☆tomoyo-chan☆~]

I haven't watched it in quite a while so I can't remember. I maybe did cause some cartoons are sad and if they are sad you start crying, but guess I'll never know if I cried or not.

[Sakrafyce]

I can't say I've cried to any FMA episode, only a couple episodes of Naruto has been able to make me shed a few tears.

[DarkNataku]

a bit watery when i found out who killed winry's parents. damn you Roy.......i will never forgive you. that doc should have let him shoot in the head

[Ashitaka]

The only episode that has made me cry was the episode "Night of The Chimeras Cry" when Tucker turns Nina into that chimera and when Ed finds out that it is her......but the part that realy got to me was when Scar killed her

[hiei_kurama27]

I have. Once when I saw Night of the Chimera's Cry for the first time, the second time I just teared up for a second.

Episode 25, when Maes Hughes was killed by Envy transformed as his wife. Imagine how sad that'd be to see your "wife" shoot you just before you die. His daughter added to the atmosphere so much. Each time I see that one I cry.

Near the end of the series where: Mustang and Riza find out the furher was a homunculus and went to his house. He killed his own son. Roy gets his eyepatch. o_o

Lastly, at the very end. Al didnt remember Ed or anything at all about their hardships and everything they went through. The music in the background didnt help either.

So, yes, I have cried or teared up a few times.

[edit] Also, Mustang's entire military history makes me a bit sad. (Ishbal, Rockbell's, Hughes, etc)

[Princess_Yukina]

well the chimera thing made me cry but my lil bro was really scared of the chimera. haha

[Tidusauron12]

I'm happy to see it drew out so many emotions. That just goes to show how great the series was.

[selina__andor]

Everything about this show makes me depressed in some way or the other. The complexity of Roy's actions and feelings really makes me sad sometimes. I can really feel the hardship that he has been through when I watch certain episodes. It absolutely killed me when Ed knocks Roy's hand away when they're going to shake. The looks on their faces, you can tell that Ed is being too stuborn to say goodbye or thanks since he wants to believe he'll survive with Al and Roy looking at their situation realistically and realizing that it's probably the last time that he will see the young man that he's tried to protect. The conversation in the car also made me sad
I bawled when Hughes died and Roy comments about it raining. His daughter didn't help much at all. Let's see... I got really really antsy when Ed faced off against Roy and company and Roy and Armstrong were unnervingly serious about it--makes you wonder if they were, somewhat?
And also, I teared up when Al forgets all of the hardships that they've gone through T_T That's not cool at all!
The whole thing about Roy being haunted by all the things that he has done and consequently trying his hardest to rise through the military ranks only to give everything up to do the right thing in the end (including one eye...yeouch) was really depressing and made me tear up. I loved it when the Fuhrer steps forward and Roy's just standing there beside the door--So cool, but so sad. I teared up when Roy was revealed as the person who killed the Rockbells, too.

And so many many more things (Like Nina, but who *didn't* get sad and tear up just a little at that?) that it's not even funny.

I'm a crybaby when it comes to FMA, and I tend to read forever inbetween the lines and am usually very sensitive towards the relationships between characters. Sometimes, little things that rests around the "outer edges" of the story gets to me more than anything else. This series absolutely killed me just for the fact that so many characters have interwoven relationships and horribly depressing happenings in their past. T_T It makes me dread re-watching it for the movie (even though I love it).

[kitzu]

Yeah, I got teary eyed during the Chimera episode, and like the above post says, pretty much every episode has something sad happening in it.

[crow-kun]

Nothing much to cry about.

[Kaitou Tsubaki]

The one where Hughes died....

[Cupi~chan]

some episodes are really sad, but I didn' t cry. The saddest for me had to be "the Night of the chimera cry" episode.

[Oni]

Yes a few episodes, but the worst was the one where hues gets killed, and you see him wave to the elricks on the train at the end of the episode.

[rebelxangel]

made me cry once... its jus wen you reeaalllyy think into it like 'wow these kids lives kinda suck' kinda thing idk how to explain exactly...? empathizing more than is considered healthy? idk

[Sister Rosette]

At the funeral wehn maes hughes died.

[ElectroMagnetic]

Never did. I had a few weak moments, but I never cried. I myself (dont take this outta context) enjoyed Hughes funeral. It added the huge twist to the story and thats when really that story starts focusing on Scar (Forgot his real name) and the Ishabblan war. Not to mention, it sets up the story near the end of the series as well.

[kt-san]

Almost! when hughes died I almost broke down, he was like my fav character.

[Gza360]

there is something about this show that makes me get chills but i didnt cry. I think the last movie i cried in was the Benji movie were he takes care of the mountain lion cubs. very sad 11 years ago when i was like 9. The part with Nina in the beginning had me choking though

[Rain]

Well, not really (only at the end). I don't really cry during movies/shows or at things which I know aren't real.

[SonGokuQ]

I've never cried watching FMA but there were a couple times where I felt I might. They were the episodes most of you have already talked about: When Hughes died (he was my favorite character too) and when Nina got turned into a chimera.

[Matsu'o Tsurayaba]

No time at all.The anime is just packed with action,i never thought FMA was a anime that could really get a tear in your eye.

[shadowedalchemy]

I just saw the episode where hughes dies!!!! It's soo frustrating coz I wanna cry :'( but I caaant for some reason. SOB Elysia kept screaming "daddy" and her mom was.. ok ill stop rambling- but it was heartbreakingg!! aaa i couldn't stand it. Anyone have a clear pic of roy crying? I completely died when he said his rain line. I lurve Roy to pieces to add to that! >.< so damn sad!! :crybaby: haha fma is such a heavy anime thats why i luv it XD.
uhh ok ive rambled enough:p if u have a pic of roy cryin, please please pleeeease send it to bumblybee_22@hotmail.com
gomenasai.. i rambled too much -_-;,
Mel

[rebelxangel]

What Episode Made Me Cry

The one were Hughs get killed,There was this one scene were his daughter was yelling,"Dont let them bury daddy!If they bury them he cant wake up and do his paper work!"

I cried like a baby. :crybaby:

that episode made me cry too. i was like 'no they can kill hughes goddamnit noooooooooo' i had much love for hughes. it makes me sad whenever i think about it...




but i actually cried in a couple of different episodes...

[goddessofanime]

The third episode made me cry something fierce.....the one where they show how their mother died and how they tried to use alchemy to bring her back. The one with Nina the Chimera...that was sad...

Didn't see the one with Hughes.

But the last episode? Made me cry.

[Kittychan]

Fave anime of all time for me!! And yeah, I cried on alot of the episodes...but then again, I cry when I run out of soy sauce..so sue me.

[Ed Elric]

i cry all the time, especially when nina and alexander were transmuted, and when hughes die :'(

[rebelxangel]

i cried in the movie, and when hughes dies, teared up when sloth was evaporating (cuz thats jus messed up.. evaporating your mother... welllll pseudomother?)


not when nina was transmuted tho i didnt cry then but i cried when ed and al were talking about at the end of the episode after that... (the philosophers stone... ep. 8 i think)

[Moon009]

When Hughes was killed and they were at the funeral and the little girl was screaming and crying and the last episode.Those were so sad episodes.And when Nina was killed after being fused to Alexander.

[Polaryzed_123]

When Hughes was killed and they were at the funeral and the little girl was screaming and crying and the last episode.Those were so sad episodes.And when Nina was killed after being fused to Alexander.So true...just thinking about it makes me get a lump in my throat. :crybaby:

[NZ's FullMetal]

No, buy was sad when that guy used his daughter to make a chimera.

[Mr.Blik]

It was sorta sad when Wrath wanted sloth back and she said goodbye to ed and al.

[Moon009]

Yeah kinda....poor Wrath...

[Mr.Blik]

What was sicknening to me when Mustang was fighting fuhrer Fuhrer killed his own damn son.

[Moon009]

Bradley deserved to die after that.Also sad when Envy stabbed Ed in the stomach nd Al had to die to bring him back,because Al didn't feel like he deserved to live.

[Mr.Blik]

Yeah it sucked when Ed sacrificed himself for Al to live.

[Moon009]

I felt the most saddest was when they both got separated.Both are on different sides of the gate.Funny I actually can imagine being away from my brothers and sisters.

[Mr.Blik]

Yeah but they will be reunited when the us version of the fma movie Conqueror of Shambala comes out.

[Moon009]

That's good...now I just gotta drive away my siblings...

[Mr.Blik]

Siblings can be quite a pain sometimes huh?

[Atreides]

Actually, I cried at many many different points throughout this series and at the end was actually bawling a little. It's one of the most moving and powerful series I've seen so far.

[Moon009]

Siblings can be quite a pain sometimes huh?



OH YEAH...BUT I GOT 6 OF EM!!

[Jenni_Starwind]

The first couple of episods were kind of depressing. I remember getting a little tear-e-eyed and I stopped watching it for like a week, then watched it again and I was ok. ~_~

[crow-kun]

Funny I've gotten more teary eyed watching Naruto then this.

[Aquastorm]

Funny, how it's okay for Naruto to have "normal teary eyed moments" and FMA trying to "jerk some tears from the audience".....

[crow-kun]

Funny, how it's okay for Naruto to have "normal teary eyed moments" and FMA trying to "jerk some tears from the audience".....
When something sad happened in Naruto it gave you a "wow that really sucked" or "man they have it bad" feeling but in the FMA anime it just seemed forced not the Hughes death mind you but other things like the town with that disease it wasn't necessary to the plot or anything else for that matter it was just there for tears.

[Cupi~chan]

I actually liked that episode with the people having that disease changing them to stone. It wasn' t necessary for Ed' s side, but we learn more about Lust. I think it' s a good thing. That episode was necessary because she begins to have doubts and starts remembering thing from her past. The episode had to be there, cause very shortly after that, she really wasn' t the same Lust as in the beginning. She' s softening up, and even betrays Dante and the other. If the episode wasn' t there, there' ll be a gap.
I don' t think the episode was there for tears. There' re even sadder moments than this one. It' s mostly for us to learn more about Lust.

[brolylssj95]

yeah just a little some of the moods set through out the series just hits your heart hard

[Lita]

No it hant made me cry but it was sad at the end series and at the end of the movie, also when hughes died it was sad, and the way Ed reacted when he found out.

[Moon009]

I also cried on episode three'Mother' they lost their mother then their arm,leg,and body.I didn't know they were going through all that.

[LostCause]

It hadn't made me cry.
But it had creeped me out, more than anything i have seen so far. Bringing dead mother back to life, chimeras, using humans in experiments and above all, Gluttony.
I'm still watching though, so i guess good points outweight the creep factor.

[zoneykid]

i havent seen all the episodes yet(renting them from netlfix =D) but so far the only one that made me come close to crying is the episode with nina :( that was sad
but so far ive only seen the first 2 dvd's(8 episodes) and a bunch on winamp shoutcast tv

[snowangel6]

The only time I came close to tears was the last episode, and those were happy tears

[Patthebeast]

spoiler
I got sad when marta [greed's snake chimera lackie] got skewered inside Al. Didnt cry but got real close.

[Youkai]

I didn't cry, but I did feel sad for those who would do anything for research. Like when that guy turned his own 4 year-old and her dog into a talking chimera. And then later she dies. Now that was sad... but I didn't cry!

[Tsukiko]

The episode where hughs was killed and the scene with his daughter at his funeral. But im a very emotional person. Actually that was the first episode that i ever saw and i still cried and i still cry every time i see it. Hughs became my favorite character when i really started watching it even though i knew he was going to die. :crybaby:

[mystic_ss]

not while watching....but when it finished I was so angry...then I called a friend and while I was retelling the plot I suddenly noticed that my anger was turning into sadness...few moments later I started cr....

[djcubez]

When something sad happened in Naruto it gave you a "wow that really sucked" or "man they have it bad" feeling but in the FMA anime it just seemed forced not the Hughes death mind you but other things like the town with that disease it wasn't necessary to the plot or anything else for that matter it was just there for tears.
So Naruto jerked tears? The only thing that jerks tears about that show is the horrible filler. Oh and here's the part that almost made me cry in Naruto When Choji was going to die after taking the "red pill." The sad thing though is that they can't actually kill off a character in the show. In the 160 episodes that I have watched there's only been two good guys that have died. The one guy that had the straw in his mouth that did the chuunin exam and the fourth.
Anyways, there's my two cents.

[crow-kun]

You make it sound like it's my fault Naruto does a better job at working up emotions. Tell me one part in the Fullmetal Alchemist anime where a so-called tear worthy moment didn't involve someone dying. The fact of the matter is there are other series that do it better and they don’t have to resort to people dying left and right to do so. I will tell you right now I could watch the episode of One Piece when Luffy and Usop have there fight and have to holdback the tears because that fight meant something but, when you push some town in my face that isn’t relevant to anything and have everyone die it’s supposed to be better because...people DIE!!! I’m sorry if the only way you can get people to feel sad is by killing a puppy in every episode you fail. I’M A JERK THAT GETS PLEASURE FROM WATCHING PEOPLE SUFFER DAMN IT AND EVEN I KNOW HOW TO FEEL. That fact that you have a problem with Naruto because it can have a beautiful tear inducing moment without having to kill someone makes me wonder what’s the color of your blood.

Also I didn’t say jerked tears that takes some kind of force like what Fullmetal Alchemist does.

And that my two cents.

*goes outside to take in the beauty that is the full moon*

[djcubez]

Sorry but I'm not a bloodthirsty jerk but I do understand where you're coming from. A character dying isnt' essential for sadness, it's just the way FMA pulls it out. However, the moment I cried the most in FMA was the end and it was because Al didn't remember any of their adventure. That was the saddest part to me.

[Aquastorm]

It just happens that poeple tend to have a emotional response when someone dies, even though it's not real. We're sorry that you feel that dying is not suppoed to be worth crying for.

[DazzleKitty]

I've never cried in what I have seen so far, but the first couple of episodes were very depressing. I can't help but feel so sad for Al being stuck in that metal armor. He is more concerned about Ed's missing limbs than his own body. He's so selfless. If I were him, I'd be very angry about everything.

Listen di... you know what? Forget it you don't exist anymore.

[Aquastorm]

But I do! :)

[Zero Interrupt]

I came close a few times. Hughes' funeral, definitely, but the closest I ever came was later on, when Ed sees Hughes' ghost at the train station, watching over him. I came really close to welling up, there. That was beautiful.

[Jabberwok]

I'm not going to lie to you; just thinking about the final Hughes episode right now is bringing tears to my eyes. First two times I cried like a girl as soon as Elicia started talking. The third time I held it together up until the train platform at the end and then I fell apart.

I shed a tear or two during the ending-- something about the music really hit me-- but nothing compares to that episode... period.

[crow-kun]

Thats a load of crap Hughes ghost would be watching or his daughter to hell with Ed.

[Aquastorm]

^
Load of crap.

[Zero Interrupt]

Thats a load of crap Hughes ghost would be watching or his daughter to hell with Ed.

He's a ghost, dummy, a being of the aethereal. He can be wherever and watch over whoever he damn well pleases.

You seem to have issues, man. They're just words, they're not the kid who beat you up in gradeschool.

[Flatcat]

Hughes/Chimaera.

Both of those got me sheddin' a tear.

Other than that, no. But both of those are sad enough to make up for any lack of sadness in the rest.

[Yukito Kunisaki]

The Night of the Chimera's Cry and Farewell hit me good..

[crow-kun]

He's a ghost, dummy, a being of the aethereal. He can be wherever and watch over whoever he damn well pleases.
That may be but it wouldn't be Ed, but his daughter. :P

[Aquastorm]

Hughes probably knew that his daughter was in good hands and that he knew Ed wasn't.

[Atreides]

For myself, the scene in which Hughes was waving to Ed after-death and Ed had thought he'd seen something while looking out through the train window was also very evocative and shed more than a few tears. I also found the following scenes similarly moving:

The scene in which Ed and Al were racing back home to their mother after their conversation about the death of Winry's parents.

When Ed and Al were sparring at the waters edge following Ed's recovery from their attempt to bring their mother back to life.

During Al's narration of what he and his brother had been through the moment depicting the start of their journey from home and their home burning in the distance.

The scene in which Winry was trying to tell Ed how she feels near the end of "Her Reason."

When Izumi confronted Ed and Al at the graveyard about what they had attempted.

The moment when Ed realized who/what Wrath was/might be.

The scene in which Scar had sacrificed himself for Al.

The scene in which Ed confronted Tucker in his "laboratory." In particular, the moments when Ed realized what had happened to Nina and his reaction when faced with the possibility that, in part, he had tried to bring his mother back just to show that he could.

All of the final scenes of the very last episode.

This is by no means a comprehensive list, though.

[pigz4brains]

When I realized that Roy's dream of all the women wearing tiny miniskirts would not come to pass. Wept many a tear over that one. :P

[Kali-chan]

Hughe's death(esp. Elysia not understanding)
Marta's death(shocked me more than it made me cry)
the episode where Al runs off mad at Ed

sorry if this should be spoiler tagged... haven't seen others use them

[Wai-Wai]

That Chimera ep scared me for life.... after watchin that ep a couple days laters i was at a pet shop and i saw a dog that looked almost like the chimera ...i ran out crying and yellin .... i havent been in a pet shop ever since. Is there something wrong with me?

[Kali-chan]

No, that ep made me cry as well... poor Nina and Ed

[Stef Kelsey]

No, I haven't cried. But I have had many a moment where I sat there after the episode, too caught up in what I'd seen to move. Wicked intense. The first time I watched it, I was mesmerized.

[Kali-chan]

that's happened to me a couple of times... it's like I have an internal analyzer that tells me how to react to a show/part of a show... the three main reactions i have are: be extremaly shocked, sob, and bawl

I'm really sensitive

[DarkSeraph]

Its about the only anime (other than Naruto) thats has managed to get tears outta me.

I'm not at all as far as movies and shows and suchlike--so it takes something pretty wicked for me to react to it like that.

[Rabbit]

I cried through a lot of eps it was a really touching series

[Rabbit]

Naruto made you cry? o_0
the eps that made me cry was "Demon of the Snow" and "The Fifth Gate: A Splendid Ninja is Born"

[Mr. sickVisionz]

Its hard to make me cry, but i'll say certain things saddened me.

Sewing Life & his daughter
Maes Hughes
Izumi's backstory (although learning all that stuff about the gate made it kinda cool)
Sloth vs FullMetal
FullMetal vs Scar (after Iron Blood got his head blown out)
FullMetal vs greed

If i was a person that cried at sappy/sad movies i'da probally teared up for some of these things. I'll also say that the music is really what saddened me about alot of these. Excellent excellent music in FMA.

[Lion of Judah]

Yeah yeah okay we get it, if we have even the slightest capacity to cry then we will have a hard time holding it back during the episodes "The Chimera's Cry" and "Words of Farewell". I wasn't surprised to find myself getting a bit teary-eyed during those episodes. But FMA has surprised me on many other occasions by jerking a tear or two from my reluctant male eyes during scenes that I would consider anything but sad. Has this happened to any of you? Have you ever found yourself getting emotional during unexpected parts of the show?

One example I can recall of an episode that really struck a chord, for me at least, was the episode entitled "Sin". In this episode the homunculus boy destined to become Wrath encounters Ed and Al. I've only seen this episode once so I may be unclear or confused on some of the details but if I remember correctly this is when I first found out what happened to Eward's limbs as it becomes clear that the human arm and leg that Wrath possesses are the very limbs that Ed lost during the failed transmutation of his mother. Wrath recalls seeing the limbs at the threshold of the gate during said transmutation and remembers greedily taking them for himself. He decides that he is going to take the rest of Ed's body in an attempt to become fully human. Al realizes that the only way to return Ed's limbs is for Wrath to die, and he accepts full responsibility for what happened to his brother (Ed did, in fact, sacrifice that arm to give Al some kind of body) and feeling the urge to protect him, decides he will rescue Ed from having to perform a terrible act. He decides that he will do what must be done and charges forward to kill Wrath.

With all of this in mind I tried to imagine how Al must've felt and it became clear to me why he was so determined to kill Wrath. In putting myself in his shoes I felt briefly what Al might have felt, and it was one of those poignant moments that begin with shivers and end in tears. This might not seem very emotionally provocative to most people but I have seen enough of the show to know that this is very uncharacteristic of Al. It seems to me that for Al to decide once and for all to kill anyone, even a homunculus, he must've been feeling overwhelming love toward his brother, guilt for his brother's lost arm, and perhaps anger toward Wrath. Just a small taste of such intense emotion is more than enough to affect me so. You always think that it's the sad moments that are going to overwhelm your emotions. But truthfully, of all human emotions that can be emulated by fiction, sadness moves me least.

[Eriana]

I've cried during certain anime, this is one of them.

[Steagol]

Never cried through a single episode, but it was really sad what happened with Tucker's daughter throughout the series.

[Atomusuku-sama]

The most moving for me had to be when Colonel Roy Mustang remained behind at Lieutenant Colonel Maes Hughes funeral, & his comments about Hughes being posthumously promoted to Brigadier General.

[Hellsartist]

SPOILER WARNING!
Full Metal Alchemist was 1 of 4 anime that ever made me cry (Wolf's Rain, Naruto, and Raxephon being the others) and it made me cry more than any of these other 4, though crying isn't accurate, I didn't like ball, teared up excessivly yes...anyways the obvious Nina incident and Mae's death but to be honest I didn't cry during either of these incidents.

When Marta (in the later episodes) finds out about the Fuhrer and runs to Al and gets in his armor, only to turn around and have Pride quickly slide his sword into Al's armor, having the episode end with Al collapsed, Marta's blood dripping out of him.

When Pride killed his son when Mustang tried so hard to save him.

When the girl with the pink hair (forget her name) was said to have been raped, or heavily implied.

And finally, what jerked my chain the most was when Edward "killed" Sloth and as she dissappeared, for a few seconds she seemed to have become the mother Ed and Al knew, saying something along the lines of "Edward...take care of your little brother, I love you both so very much" and the look on Edwards face when she said that as she vanished, holy man I seriously cried there.

[crow-kun]

I did when it started to suck.:P

[The Million Dollar Prons]

I did when it started to suck.:P

BOOM! HEAD SHOT

- Prons

[kimimaro]

i didn't really read all of this but fma is for now my favourite anime, and how come nobody finds it sad when ed starts shaking like an idiot and stiffening after he killed greed? greed was a good character. I haven't really cried, but it was really sad, 1. the greed thing
2. the funeral of hughes
3. nina and all that. esecially when roy talhs with hawkeye and you hear Ed clapping his hands in the background. I started shaking
4. can't remember but there are like ten more numbers I can't think of but I could add.
and when winly (or whatever lol) looks at ed and Al going and when she insists on ''making'' him the plait when he's leavinh.-that's kind of depressing.not sad tough.
o. and about fma. I hate rooooze. ro-ze, that stupid o-look-at-me-i'm-suffering *****. lol. yeah.

[Stef Kelsey]

The Greed thing was the only one that actually got me CLOSE to crying. Those were the moments that got me--when you were forced to remember he was only a kid, despite what he could do and what he had been through.

[GabbyGrapist15]

I almost did when Hughes died, but i really cried in the last episode.

[Justinian]

What Episode Made Me Cry

The one were Hughs get killed,There was this one scene were his daughter was yelling,"Dont let them bury daddy!If they bury them he cant wake up and do his paper work!"

I cried like a baby. :crybaby:

That one made me feel like ****...

[Ryuuichi009]

I teared a little when they buried Hughes...that episode was pretty sad.

[animegurl]

I teared a little when they buried Hughes...that episode was pretty sad.
That was very sad, I almost cried then too.

[Marquisk2]

There wasn't an episode that made me cry, but I did get a sad when I watched FMA on adult swim, and without knowing it... It was the last episode, I hate it when you get into an anime, and then poof there's the last episode, and you keep wanting more from it!

[Nomnomnom]

This is an anime that's made me cry, first at hughes death then again when sloth was elimated.

[MonkeyBoy0314]

Uh...no, Fullmetal Alchemist hasn't ever made me cry

[LeslieSama]

Yehh

That one episode where that whole town turned into wood lol

That was a tearjerker

but the way the people ended up was just so damn scary my tear sensors shut off XD

[LeslieSama]

[wrathborne]

Real men don't cry (though we may sniffle from time to time), but i'll admit I came a little close to shedding a tear with the girl chimera scene (nina, shou tuckers daughter).

[baltro27]

lol r u kiddin me i cry soooo many times in that anime.
specially in movie wen wrath n his mom r reunited Q.Q

[Kyuu Dan]

I cried like a baby. :crybaby:

*Sad nod* Same for me, plus the chimera episodes. Poor 'lil Nina...

And probably more too, although I can't think of them at the moment. It's been a while since I watched the anime.

Edit: Just remembered one, when Ed kills Sloth. >-<

[Rock_Lee]

I didn't cry at all but felt a bit sad...

SPOILER FOR THOSE WHO DIDN'T SEE THE ANIME YET !!!!!!!

Especially when that little girl, Nina was transmuted with her dog. The background music was just perfect for that scene when her life ended when Scar killed her.... sniff...

[fullmetalheart]

The first time I saw the anime I literally weeped throughout all 51 episodes. I can be a bit over emotional though...

[weavingArachne]

SPOILER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I cried when Hughes died and his kid was asking why people were burrying her dad because he had to work. That got me.

[psyche69]

Hmmm...A little bit in the episode Cry of Chimera...I feel so pity with Nina I can't believe his father can do such terrible things to her...Imagine she and her dog combined and made them such a disgusting creature....Darn it!!! I really hate his father...If i would be in that anime I probably kill his father...

[Hekym]

I think I cried when Hughes died. It was bad enough, and then I saw his daughter.

Wrath's backstory made me cry. Also, Sloth's death.

I think Lust's death made me sadder than any of those three, and it still bothers me. They just can't let a character get too interesting, can they?

Oh man, when they explained how the kid's mother burned to death- she was blind and couldn't escape, or something.

[CitizenGeek]

[D'uh, this post has spoilerz!]

I think I shed a few tears at the ending, wouldn't call it crying though. Was on the verge of tears when Lust died, when Hughes died and when Nina died.

[Mystic Gohan]

Almost every episode.

[Waga]

erm......no

[Gyt Kaliba]

I swear the worst part of the movie is not getting to see Tucker die - HAWKEYE HAS PISTOLS, USE THEM! !%@#%!@%

Other than that, I almost cried when Hughes died, but not until his daughter was bawling about it. That was too much. T_T

MAJOR MANGA SPOILER!!!!!!!!!!

I now want to kill Bradley as well, since he said during the funeral it took all his composure not to kill Elicia for her bawling. YOU MONSTER!!!!!!

[Ace Paladin]

I didn't cry, but I teared up A LOT.

1)When Sloth is sealed, and her last words are something along the lines of "Clean up your messes... and take care of each other". I felt so bad for Al.

2)When Lust is sealed... and her last moments/words.

3)When Wrath asks "Is all being human means is that you can die... why do I want to be one so badly?"

4)Scar's death <//3

5)Ed's death <//3

[wolf_of_twilite]

there was one ep that did it was when that sick bastard the sewing life alchemist he had used his wife to create her into a chimera then his daughter n dog.i hardly did.

That's the one that got me, but my boyfriend was with me, so I didn't go totally crazy.

[goddessofanime]

That's the one that got me, but my boyfriend was with me, so I didn't go totally crazy.

That makes me cry too. That and the episode where the boys mother died.

[shippo_doxxy]

i cried in the episode with the sewing life alchemist cuz i have an affinity for dogs and seeing that sick dude merge his daughter with the family dog, then when it was killed by scar i starting crying but i didn't notice till the end of the episode. XP

[NIC_R00LZ]

i never really cried but i got teared up.

SPOILERZ!
`when nina died(and ed was punching tucker screaming he wasn't like him).
`when ed was talking after he got kidnapped by that butcher dude(the statement he made about being insignificant humans, who couldn't even save a little girl).
`when hughes died(when his daughter was freaking out).
`when lust died.
`when scar died.
`when ed died(okay i balled like a baby :P).
`and in the movie, when ed was going back to the other world, and al was freaking out.

okay ima big cry baby. :P
(oh and in the fma brotherhood series, i also cried again when nina died. it was a LOT sadder than the first series.)

[mooseegg1982]

I wouldn't say that I cried, but Fullmetal can stir the emotions.

[goddessofanime]

So in FMA 2.0:

Last night was where Hughes was killed and sweet baby jesus it was even SADDER than Original Recipe...especially when Roy started to cry!


So...yeah that one.

[Kcets]

I cried pretty hard during Episode 3. The entire episode is just epicly tragic.

[pigz4brains]

So in FMA 2.0:

So...yeah that one.

Yeah it wasn't fair that they showed him in the booth saying he wasn't going to be able to go home.

[Shawaazu]

The scene of Hughes's funeral made me cry and I almost cried at the scene where Ed and Al figured out that Tucker turned his dog and daughter into a chimera and when it was asking Tucker if it hurt when Ed attacked him.

[Black Cat]

never cried, some scenes kind of made me feel like it but i never did.

also some scenes were way too over dramatic and that pissed me off a little

[Arnold]

Never cried, but the closest I came was Maes Hughes' funeral.

[msfunsizedkawai]

that episode made me wanna cry and go in to tell ed its gonna be alright!

[msfunsizedkawai]

that episode made me wanna cry and go in to tell ed its gonna be alright!

i really thought he was gonna kill me i was so scared so scared *sniffle*

[Rozalyne]

Oh dear.. I cried on so many scenes.. especially in Brotherhood.. v .v My boyfriend was with me and I didn't care if I cried in front of him. I'm a baby when it comes to sad stuff. >.> Luckily he knows this so it was okay. Ha-ha.

Ugh sappy stuff makes me cry so much, I'm so sensitive. =.= But I still enjoyed the anime and and I love it. Even if it made me cray, which in my opinion is what made the story really good..

[Mina Tepes]

I teared up when Mustang was about to kill Envy and envy was crying for his life. But soon he kinda deserved and killed himself. What the hel was that for I wondered. Then there was the last episode kinda because they were leaving you forever till the movie.

[regeniathoele22]

FMA can really touch you. Got me into teary eye myself by watching FMA. From the start of the story this series is really emotional. Giving up the body of Ed for just a hope of getting their mother back again.

[asianjanice]

Hell yeah! Cried a friggin river~!

[Fmafan1]

Jes in the last ep of brootherhood because geed die in this ep :crybaby: he was my favorite carackter but that happens every time i coose a favorite carackter the carackter dies thats terrible
