What a dark and twisted episode. Barry is no comic relief here.

Ed went from wanting to become a state alchemist, to risking losing his status, to giving it up in what, the span of 3 episodes? Lol, okay.

Anyway, I feel this episode sets up how this series feels more like a dark mystery thingy than a more optimistic shounen. I'm glad Ed acts his age, but where the hell was Al when Ed was fighting for his life? What a digital dummy!

&++ Barry doesn't give a Shrek that he's captured

Guess what? Ed gets captured, again, for the fourth time already
And the refrigerated car's dealer had every opportunity to finish him off right here, but noo
And damsel in distress trope in this episode, to boot

Just how exactly has Edward found the refrigerated car so easily?

Quite some range that refrigerated car's dealer's VA has there

About time Winry joins the main cast, and livens up this show

Hmm...entertaining but not really bringing the story forward that much. We basically end up where we started with Ed being reinstated as state alchemist. It was good to see the human side of Ed when he was close to dying and Scarface will probably make his move next time.

But I'm still hoping that something else from this episode turns out relevant later on since otherwise this feels more like a filler. Maybe Winry's visit serves a bigger purpose? Or Bradley makes a move with the knowledge that the brothers are looking for the philosophers stone? We'll see...

Ed suffers a lot :(

I do like the fmab barry the chopper counterpart WAY more since this one is a bit "eh" and rather creepy but this was really good. I'm also really liking the small screentime scar is getting

Ed is a child after all. Seeing a mass murderer try to kill you is pretty nerve wracking

this was a pretty decent anime but nothing crazy either. ngl it was strange how quickly ed was able to return as a state alchemist after he pretty much quit in the beginning. the whole thing with barry the chopper was pretty cool as well.

Pretty decent episode; though I'll admit I wasn't paying too much attention. Edward got his "Fullmetal" title though, so that was cool.

Even though I watched Brotherhood, I still feel bad for Nina
