It's from the FMA 2003 version; episode 30 to be precise.

Most people just can't understand. That was a beautiful discussion.

[bonechiller]

When a bodybuilder and a weightlifter meet each other.

Don't worry honey, he just a spotting partner from the gym
The spotting partner:

[shirsenduacharyya]

2 Gentlemen, 0 words, full conversation.

[JMDarkly]

20+ years later, and its still one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen in anime.

[seanlovall]

The best representation of macho men. Strong, but not violent. Stoic, but kindhearted and gentle natured.

[ShadyAnchovy]

That's how cultured gentlemen introduce to each other

I love how this scene being an anime original inspired the author to make their bromance a canon thing in the manga later on. 😂

[John-doe]

I love how the apron explodes too even though its only attached to him by a string.

[pdy]

The mutual repect between body builders and power lifters.

[qtarokujo]

"Did we just become best friends?!?" "YEP!"

[gameoverlord]

Major Armstrong, positive masculinity in its finest!

[a_j_all_day]

Finally, two adults handling a discussion with grace and maturity 😂

[dood]

It’s not odd, it’s beautiful, a truly honest and pure conversation between two men.

[bluntlyhonest]

One goes for looks, the other for function. Both are gentlemen and terrific diplomats.

[FSUNinjasCrew]

The fact he shattered the apron too is so under appreciated 😂😂

[hulahala]

This series was authored by a woman. She understands us.

[AnOwlfie]

Such an intellectual conversation between two men will be studied for decades by scholars.

[SDMasterbuilder-inbm]

Curtis: "You son of bitch, I'm in".

[theanimeandgameguy]

Just so all the women out there know, this is how we guys greet each other.
