2021-01-17 04:34:08 +0000 UTCAlways in tears at the end of this episode. Not sobbing tears, but the quiet ones that I try to mop up before my husband looks over and makes fun of me for being so sensitive.

2021-01-17 04:32:58 +0000 UTCDefinitely one of the best parts of this show!

2021-01-11 06:26:37 +0000 UTCOne thing you don't have to worry about with this show is that all the questions are answered by the end and all the loose ends tied up. So have no fear all the questions will be answered to completion with time.

2021-01-09 11:59:53 +0000 UTCI definitely wouldn't skip it as a first time viewer, but I'll be honest, I skip it on rewatchs :D

2021-01-09 10:44:29 +0000 UTCHaha I was actually in HS when I watched the anime so that would make more sense I guess, but no, hitting on high school girls was not my motivation. The show itself may have been inspiration for teaching in some small way though. I liked his candidness and the fact that he's an outsider in education (something I felt as a student) but still managed to make a meaningful impact. I had always wanted to travel, and teaching abroad always seemed like the easiest way to do that, so maybe rather than it inspiring me to become a teacher, it may have inspired certain ways that I think about teaching (although I have yet to destroy a principal's Cresta, sad to say).
Alex G
2021-01-09 07:53:59 +0000 UTCHa I had a feeling. That certainly lines up. I am an INFP myself.

2021-01-09 05:29:08 +0000 UTCHey Alex, this is random but I started reading the GTO manga recently because of you. I'm only like 10 chapters in but I am really enjoying it. It's funny but those moments of sincerity are really nice. Also, is this what made you want to become a teacher? Were your motivations the same as Onizuka, you wanted to hit on high school girls 👀 ? lol I kid, I kid.

2021-01-09 05:11:06 +0000 UTCENTP :)
Alex G
2021-01-09 05:10:52 +0000 UTCThat is true, anime logic makes certain things work
Alex G
2021-01-09 05:10:33 +0000 UTCI had 0 clue what was going on when I first watched this episode, but revisiting it, it’s like everything clicks

2021-01-09 05:09:21 +0000 UTCI don't know if you give any thought or merit to the Myers-Brigg 16 Personalities Test but I am curious to what your 4 letter personality is if you have ever taken the test. I just thought it could give some insight into your thinking and how you'd view the themes of this show and others.

2021-01-09 04:55:08 +0000 UTCAnime makes no sense when it comes to how people age the adults shrink when they get older and the kids sprout up like freaking weeds in a year and go from looking between 8 and 11 years old to almost 20 year olds make it make sense XD
Brimmy
2021-01-09 04:46:23 +0000 UTCYeah, since it's a dream it ends up feeling like him having an internal struggle about where he stands on humanity, the pro human side represented by her and his wife
Alex G
2021-01-09 04:26:30 +0000 UTCMy understanding is that Pannaco in the dream represents his own humanity while the other one is his arrogance and the main one is nihilistic or the rational side
Ramon Cintron
2021-01-09 04:08:53 +0000 UTCI enjoyed the Hohenheim segments a lot, as well as the way some of the older footage was framed alongside his conversation with himself. Glad I didn't skip it
Alex G
2021-01-09 03:46:52 +0000 UTCThis episode does have a lot of things that you'll need to connect the dots. I'd say most (but not all) of it's there. You're not even halfway through the show yet! If you're doing every other day it's going to go until... March??? Yeah, there was no way I could've held out that long to be at the same pace lol. I'm internally screaming watching your reaction because there's still so MUCH. But yes this episode also does have a few clues that were not present before, so it's not 100% pure recap. Anywho, I love the mom's speech. She just brings him to his senses with kindness and caring. It's things like that which slap me out of my existential dread.

2021-01-09 03:31:14 +0000 UTCThe only reason why people want reactors to skip this episode is because they are eager to get back to the main plot but they are completely overlooking how valuable this episode is to first time viewers who don't have all the answers already. I think the introspection and character development Hohenheim gets here is extremely well done and I'd be a shame for any reactor to miss out on that.
Sal Inger
2021-01-09 03:23:27 +0000 UTCWelp, it was the cruelly placed Hohenheim acid trip episode. Yeah, it definitely brings to the forefront his internal conflicts. It's all a tease for the upcoming episodes though, but I promise it'll all make sense eventually! See you at the next one! :)
A Suresh
2021-01-09 03:21:25 +0000 UTCIt's one of my favs too. So beautiful.
Sal Inger
2021-01-09 03:17:48 +0000 UTCAfter this is where the two show’s stories really start to deviate from each other more intensely. You’ll LOVE all the new characters. I can’t wait for you to meet the people at the northern wall you *didnt* see in the new intro. No spoilers I’m just excited for you to meet them!
Itachi The Rouge
2021-01-09 03:17:16 +0000 UTCI love how both anime and manga at this point is making us question Hohenheim's identity
ArmdVctr
2021-01-09 02:51:42 +0000 UTCI love this episode, I suppose I kinda get why people want to skip it (I guess) but this episode usually gets great reactions, and is enjoyable to see reactors start piecing just a little bit of the puzzle.
Dominic Caciappo
2021-01-09 02:43:41 +0000 UTCfor real, i think the whole episode is worth it even just for the ending with his wife's speech, let alone all the other good points in the episode
Francesca White
2021-01-09 02:41:11 +0000 UTCRight? I don't know why there was people even suggesting to skip it. I know it's a recap but it's still important and meaningful.

2021-01-09 02:39:10 +0000 UTCalso wow this episode makes SO MUCH MORE SENSE when u finish the show lmfao
Francesca White
2021-01-09 02:31:48 +0000 UTCWHO IS HE AHHHHHHH.
hays collins
2021-01-09 02:24:47 +0000 UTCIt genuinely illustrates the way I overcome my depression each day, haha
Morgan Ritson
2021-01-09 02:17:27 +0000 UTCprobably one of the episodes i rewatch the most, it's such a good summation of what FMAB is

2021-01-09 02:13:06 +0000 UTCHaha the beginning felt so romantic to me. But it is a dream after all
Alex G
2021-01-09 02:10:40 +0000 UTCit was mentioned in an earlier episode that Pinako and Hoenheim were "old drinking buddies" so i wouldn't see them as romantic, they were just good friends.
Francesca White
2021-01-09 02:09:39 +0000 UTCThe end of this episode is my favorite moment in the whole show!
