CJdachamp Deadbeat dads of Anime

As bad as Shou was in brotherhood it's SO much worse in the first FMA anime because they dedicated a couple episodes to that storyline and really built him up as this amazingly doting father on par with the GOAT dad Maes Hughes. So when you find out what really happened it's a massive whiplash. I honestly think studio Bones just speedran the episodes up to where the original series split from the Manga because the team felt sick at the idea of going back over the trauma.
