New Fullmetal Alchemist?

Question

Ok, so they have decided to make a second FMA. Anyone know what it is going to be about for sure?

Answer 1

The wraparound jacket band on the 20th volume of Hiromu Arakawa's Fullmetal Alchemist manga will confirm on Friday that a new television anime series is in the works. A new anime series was a topic of much fan discussion for several months, but it was thrust into a more public spotlight last month when a management document was purportedly leaked from the BONES anime studio. The document listed Fullmetal Alchemist animator Yasuhiro Irie as "Hagane 2 kantoku" (Iron/Fullmetal 2 director).

I hope that helps ^_^

Answer 2

It's going to be completely based on the original manga (which can be easily read online - onemanga.com).

Or so I'm told... But I'm pretty positive it will be. 96% sure.

The new series will air somewhere around April 2009 and run for a year.

This also means that the manga is coming to an end - probably by next year - sigh - 100 chapters then? - ah well - was brilliant while it lasted :)
