I think people have gotten too used to constant action and surprise or something. I'm not sure if I was the only one getting tired of that. Near the end of the most recent arc, I was really worried there was going to be a point where it was just too much, and I'd lose interest. But now we have backstory. And backstory is yay, even if we're in a small corner of the fandom by appreciating it. ^_^
If we'd gotten to the Ishbal flashback and there hadn't been Hughes... well, I would've been mighty suspicious. Most of what I know of Hughes is based on the anime. I need me some manga!Hughes now. (And, I've realized now, I'm just a hopeless fangirl when it comes to him. (-:)
