Key Animation: Kōichi Arai (新井 浩一)

Arai was credited under the pen name "Kanako Sasa" (佐々 かなこ) for his work on the OP
Arai's work on the OP also extends to a part of this segment as well, though the exact cuts that he did are currently unspecified: https://t.co/LiG8AQkKRf
UPDATE: as it turns out, none of this scene was Kawamoto's animation
The animator of the first two cuts (0:00 - 0:08) was identified as (presumably) Satoshi Ishino (石野 聡), and the last cut (0:09 - 0:12) was confirmed to be the work of an uncredited Kōichi Arai (新井 浩一)
Key Animation: Yoshiyuki Itō (伊藤 嘉之) (?)

Itō was also the character designer for the 2003 series and sole animation director for this episode.
Happy FMA Day (10/3) and HBD Yoshiyuki Itō!🎉
