I completely agree with you. I bet many people didn't even read all the manga volumes released so far. -_-' |

Hey... forgive me if this has been thought of before on the thread (I don't feel like sifting thru all 150+ posts....though I did follow a good amount of them), but WHAT IF the series took place between the end of the anime and the movie? From Al's (and maybe Ed's...?) perspective? Sure, it may make everything that happens in it relatively pointless, but on the bright side, it would have a lesser chance of ruining what I thought as a pretty much resolved ending in the movie, if the new series wants to be in synch with the anime storyline.
But is that the most preferrable? Prob. not. Though I'm probably not adding much new by saying this, I think the series could easily be given "reboot" from the beginning (though I may be mistaken, not having read much of the manga at all). Though we may see key scenes + developments from the 1st series' half again, these could be kept in a "tighter" and denser episode count-- after all, there were at least a couple episodes that were filler (with the Blue Rose episode coming to mind), and probably one or two that only mattered to the anime's plot in the last half (like Lyra, from the Youswell incident,spoiler[ coming back as Dante]), unless there's some significance to the first half's more minor characters too later on it the manga too. Do it all with brand-spanking-new animation in a 16:4(?) frame-aspect ratio and I think we'd be good. |

I hope they will realese more info soon... ^^
Anyway, a little thought: if the new series will be someway related to the old one, why waiting all this time to make it? It would make more sense to create a series more true to the manga, at this point, since the manga, if not at its end, is maybe near to it, and the ending could always be done later as OAVs or some specials... |

Exactly. They could continue the story from where the anime and manga were still the same (about the time where Greed shows up), then we could forget the awful job they did with the rest of the first anime and the movie (forgive me, but I'm a hardcore fan of the manga...the anime, even if I own them on dvd, is kinda meh...) |

If I remember well, though, there are some few, small differences with the manga even in the first half of the anime.
And the problem about the difference in the format (4:3 to 16:9) would still remain... |

I'm hoping it's going to be a complete remake that's more faithful to the manga than the first series was. I'm also hoping that they keep Vic Mignogna as Edward Elric.

Heh, I had to register here just to fulfill my burning desire to discuss this. I know I'll probably just be reiterating a lot of what people have already said, but, hey, I figure I can throw my opinion in too.
FMA is one of my favorite series of all time, and owning both all of the anime and the manga, I truly love both versions. I really find it hard to decide between the two - there are some things about the anime I like more than the manga, but it's also a shame that the manga hasn't been animated all of the way through. Yet I don't regret that they stopped half way through, either, because I love what came out of it, and I personally think studio BONES is brilliant. But in all reality, that storyline has come full circle, and to continue it now would just be ridiculous. So I just don't get why people are making it seem like it has to be anime vs. manga. I mean, trying to prove that one is better than the other is pretty futile, anyways, and pointless. And it's not like, even if you could, that would also prove the direction of the new anime. And on top of that, I just don't see how you can justify reviving a complete story in lieu of animating the rest of the manga, which really does have some absolutely incredibly scenes that already give me chills on paper - I can't imagine the effect they could have on me animated. And it's not like if they animate the rest of the manga, it invalidates the first anime series - on the otherhand, if they try to pick up the old anime plot, and ruin it, then it would ruin the rest of the anime. I guess I just don't see why the anime and manga have to be competing, it just seems silly. They are separate entities, neither one invalidates the other. So, yes, please, full steam ahead with the animation of the rest of the manga! It's actually something I've been dreaming of ever since I first started reading the manga, and it would really be amazing. |

Hey guys, I put a poll on my blog to see what everyone actually prefers insofar as what will happen in the new series (although I personally have no doubt that it will be a manga-based remake!
 ).
Go vote!

I totally agree. I love both the anime and manga and consider them two different entities with similar themes and characters. The two have split apart so much so, that the anime was able to carry on on its own without the manga. True, I'm quite the fan of Winry, so the anime does anger me in that respect, but again, they are two different things. I eagerly await an anime that will be in manga time. spoiler[to see Ed protect Winry from Scar and to see the whole evil looking Hoenheim thing pan out would be amaing] |

Glad to see someone agrees!
Yeah, Winry's role is a bit minimized in the anime, but she still contributed nicely to it, I think. I do wish they'd had her confront Mustang, at least, but her role in the anime was still enough for me. If they are going to animate the rest of the manga, then I really can't wait to see spoiler[the scene where she's got a gun pointed at Scar], that is such an intense moment, I think it would translate into anime wonderfully. I'd also love to see the scene where spoiler[Ed is digging up the remains of his and Al's transmutation with Pinako behind the remains of his burnt down house and realizes that it isn't his mother], everything about that scene was just bone chilling, especially Ed's expression at the end, it'd be wonderful if they copied that image straight from the manga. It really has just imprinted itself into my mind as one of the most striking images of the entire series.

I'm really syched for this sequel but along with other's I cant imagine were they would leave off when the anime finished it up so nicely.... Though I really want it to continue with the anime counterpart I really didn't enjoy the manga but I loved the anime's plot better than the manga... Also I'm positive it will get licenced by Funimation it was there goal mine, also I hope they keep the same VA's because the cast was just amazing and the best dub ever better than the japanese version. But I feel sad about Alphonce's VA, even if they hire one just as good I'll still be alittle disapointed... I was a big Fma fan it's a classic and I hope this one will be good ifo not better, though the new director worrie's me will he/she be able to manage it as good as the last one because the last one was awesome...

about the movie, I thought there were a few parts missing, like how do they close the gate on un-alchemic side, do they attempt to get the atomic creation that was made in the alchemic world that somehow crossed into the other side. About the new show i believe it is possible they somehow can make it back....somehow.....im glad this show didn't wind up like the dragonball series...it mean its a nice series but it got so predictable....someone would pull out some world saving move and fix it...in FMA there wasnt some fix without sacrifice leaving it unpredictable

(I'm pissed about that. And a main theme in the manga is forgivness and compassion. Winry is full of that. I mean she helped the man (Scar) that killed her parents 
. It takes a big person to do something llike that. And I absolutely despised the animators when in 2 different episodes both Ed and Al hit her. Anyone that reads the manga knows that they woud never harm her....Well apparently the animators didn't know that. I think it's safe to say that most people that like the anime better or have seen the anime first hate Winry because the animators sure do. I don't know how they got her main character thing wrong because it's in a manga count and even Arakawa said Winry's one of her favorites.
