As you see, Ed is still in mourning after a good friend of his was turned into some mutated freak in the last episode, then splattered all over the wall like some graffiti art. “Too bad Ed, she’s dead and won’t be coming back, so can you please get over it so that you don’t interrupt the flow of the series?” 

This episode should be renamed, “The day Ed almost got owned by the serial killer.” Yes, that’s right, a maniac is on the loose in Central and is killing young women and girls with Ed’s long time friend Winry being the next target. She travels to Central to congratulate Ed and Al for becoming state alchemists, but who in the hell asked her to come?

No seriously, don’t you hate when people pop up at your house uninvited? Not only did Winry spring up out of nowhere, but she also found time to stop off and get captured by Mr. Serial Killer. This is why you always tell people where you’re going, and never show up uninvited to somebody’s house, unless it’s your boyfriend/girlfriend who you’re trying to catch in the act of cheating.

Not only that, but whatever you do, never stick your nose into somebody else’s refrigerated truck, ok? Yes, that was how Winry got captured in the first place, by stepping inside of a freezer on wheels to see what it looked like from the inside. Now Winry thought it was ok since the owner was a woman, but hell, women can be psycho too, just look at me!

In fact, it’s not a woman who kidnaps Winry, but a man in drag and this is why you should never get into a moving vehicle with someone you don’t know, unless it’s some old geezer or midget that you know for sure that you can take down.  

So Winry gets captured, then Ed as he is caught off guard by the maniac killer drag queen while searching for her. He finds himself in some kind of a cold storage meat room, and comes face to face with the dude who goes by the name of Barry. Just look at the picture above, wasn’t he better lookin’ as a chick? So now he’s holding two people captive, then proceeds to slice off Ed’s mechanical arm so that he won’t be able to use alchemy to escape.

[7]

But somehow, Ed is able to draw a transmutation circle with a screw on the bottom of his chair and free himself. Okay, that is so cheating, where did he get the screw from, and how is it that the circle was drawn so perfectly even though he couldn’t get a good look at what he was doing? Not only that, can you really draw a perfect transmutation circle with a screw?

Well, don’t mind me, after all this is anime so I won’t make too big of a fuss about it. Now for any of you that like horror movies, you’re gonna love this since you get a chance to see one of your anime heroes not only trying to escape being hacked to pieces by a maniac killer, but trying to rescue his friend as well, with very little luck. But who knows, maybe Ed can take this guy. After all, who’d be afraid of some dude wearing a dress and sandals?

[11]

After several minutes of some very good horror, Al and the Calvary comes in to arrest Barry and save the day. Damn, can poor Ed take any more torture before he’s headed for a nervous breakdown?
