"Muh cycle of hatred" is one of the gayest and most insufferable concepts that I've seen in any anime. It's literally just something a childish and immature series uses to try and sound deeper and more philosophical than it actual is, when in reality the reasons people do "bad" things are far more complex. Both Naruto and FMA are perfect examples of how dogshit this trope is.

Kakugo no Susume is good
>>289321179sounds like you have a soft and cushy life
>>289321179It's a series for teenagers; it doesn't try to be super complex, but it's still well-executed. The cycle of hatred is something human and real; it's a concept that will never cease to exist, neither in media nor in reality. Accept it.
>>289321179It's not deep, it's an incredibly basic concept and the reason the code of Hammurabi prescribes "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth", ie limiting revenge to proportionality and forbidding escalation.

>>289321179Good job missing the point, retard. The conditions of Mustang and Riza's relationship is that she handles all the dirty work while he keeps his eye on the prize. She didn't give him the flame alchemy so he could use it to fulfill a personal vendetta.

She didn't give him the flame alchemy so he could use it to fulfill a personal vendetta.Except that that's not the point of the scene. The point is that Mustang can't become the new fuhrer if he kills Envy out of vengeance because "muh vengeance is le bad", even though that's irrelevant as fuck since Envy needed to die anyway, its death would have 0 negative consequences, and Mustang was already 99% responsible for Envy's defeat and death, so this doesn't serve any actual purpose other than a selfserving pretentious dilemma that ultimately doesn't matter. You're a moron with the iq in the double digits if you think this is anything other than pretentious.
