Fullmetal Alchemist Episode 10

"Thief Psiren"

Another seemingly inconsequential episode of Fullmetal Alchemist. That isn't too surprising, as this show is slotted for fifty-two installments, so we can expect more than a little filler. (Of course, if Psiren makes a reappearance in a later episode, it'll give this one a little more weight.)

In this episode, Ed and Al are mistaken for criminals (again) and eventually end up helping the incompetent local authorities in catching the real alchemy-using criminal. Throw in a surprise that isn't a surprise at all (something that is beginning to seem like a hallmark of this show), and Ed being offended at people calling him short, and you've got your standard issue episode of the show.

Rating: B-
