Haha. Pretty sure that wasn't her intent, but man did that feel like a subtle jab from Arakawa at the first anime to anyone else?
Ha Ha yeah I was thinking the same thing. Actually a while back I got in a "debate" with someone that the first anime should have taken out the scene where Al yelled at Ed for trying to sacrifice himself during the Scar incident since the last episode when both brothers decided to sacrifice themselves clearly missed the point.

That is always one (of many) things I love about the manga that the story says sacrifice is not the answer because you have so much more to live for. I feel two many stories go down the other route.
