| I too can't understand how they could make another season of FMA... It's my #1 anime, and I'm still dubious about it... I thought they ended it well. |
| Here's hoping for a true-to-manga adaptation of FMA. I think it would be more interesting than a direct sequel to the anime series or the movie. Either way, I hope it'll be a full length series rather than more OVAs. |
     |
| I've yet to watch Full Metal Alchemist. It seems to be a daunting task, what with its ~50 episodes. I better hop to it before even MORE comes out. D: Darker than Black is really exciting news to me! I was totally interested in the idea of contractors and how their powers worked. I'd love to see more of it. :3 |
| Bullshit. There's no fucking way FMA is getting a second season. Not after 5 years. Not happening. |
 |
| Why not? If it's going to be based on manga story, then it will be something totally different... BETTER ^^ FMA second season gonna change the world forever!! :p |
| hopefully fma's 2nd season is going to take place 30-40 years after the end of the movie. i'd love to see how the characters are getting older and their lives is changing. this 'biological development' part is the reason why i always liked dragon ball for example ;) it'd be too more reasonable - Ed and Al are dead and their children're trying to reach the secrets of parallel world. at least for me it'd be more fascinating than watching how theyre trying to solve the 'how to dismantle the atomic bomb' puzzle :p |

Either way, I hope it'll be a full length series rather than more OVAs. Couldn't have said it better myself =] I really hope it's a remake, the original anime was good, but to have it follow the manga would be awesome. Screw random second seasons based on nothing! XD |
     |
| I think this is very good news, Im more happy about Darker Than Black thou ;) |
| If Darker continue well the previous one and FMA tell again the story but based completely on the manga it will be awesome and i will make a shrine to BONES xD Kouta |
  |
| Shit I would love a second season for FMA but I don't wanna get my hopes up cause it seems unlikely |
| A big announcement about FMA will be made in the next issue of Monthly GanGan. Source: Scan of Monthly GanGan |
| FMA news is nice, but if its not a new series that follows the manga i will be severely disappointed. I'm not really interested in a second season that follows the crazy ending of the first. |
| I can guarantee all of you that the new season of FMA, whatever it is, will suck. Hard. The 51 episodes of FMA were awesome, a truly excellent, original anime, which even managed to incorporate emotion and depth into its storylines without seeming forced or absurd. Unfortunately, I then made the mistake of watching the OVA's, and even worse, the movie. They were HORRENDOUS. Like, incredibly bad, among the worst anime I've ever seen. I was honestly shocked by this; how could the same creators of something so good suddenly turn around and create the cinematic equivalent of rotten eggs mixed with goat piss? Then, I realized the simple reason. MONEY. After the series became popular, they milked the shit out of that cash cow. All types of merchandise, multiple games, numerous DVD specials, an OST, and of course, the OVAs and movie. Apparently, their greed wasn't slaked by all of that, though. They have to make a brand new series. Which, like with the movie, enough fans will give high scores to and claim to enjoy, even if everything that made the series great is absent from the new work. |
| Darker than BLACK really could do with a second season imo FMA however with a second season would probably only end up messed up I think. |
 |
| way! Im rewatching FMA right now =D IM so happy about a second season ! |

You do realize that "Season 2" of FMA will just be an animated verwsion of the series from the manga (storyline/plot) right/correct? |

If that's the case, I still very much expect it to suck. Re-read my original post. The creators are only interested in the money now, which is easy to see considering how bad everything after the original 51 episodes was. And I don't care how much you love the manga's ending; it takes a lot of effort and skill to effectively translate a manga into an anime, and the creators aren't up for it. Hollywood producers making millions of sequels, re-makes, and adaptations aren't the only greedy bastards out there. |

I have not because only volumes 1-16 have been released in America so far. That's right, I don't read manga scans. As for the producers/directors and stuff like that, I couldn't give a shit about that. When I think of FMA, I only think of the characters and fictional storyline etc etc. |

I think FMA 2 won't be very good, for all the reasons I mentioned above. If you don't think so (albeit for no reason), cool. Quite derailing this topic with stories of how cool you are for not downloading manga scans. This topic is for discussing FMA 2 and DTB 2. |
| Yeah DTB would be great FMA .... the series ended, if they do more it can only get worse |

I was talking about reading them online..... |
| Now I'm really interested to see what the story line will be, I hope the second season will be good :X |
     |
| Oh it would be awesome to see a second season of Full Metal Alchemist, though I still gotta finish the first season.....o.o |
 |
| It would be interesting, unless it's a complete failure that'll ruin the feeling from the original season. |
 |
| i love fma... who else likes it? |
| Wow, a second season of an oh so great anime. And i cant wait for Darker Than Black either. |
 |
| i love fma so i would be happy for a second season~ :) but with the way that it ended i dont see how they could make it remotely as good as the first without dragging it out and making it boring (has anyone else been watching shippuden recently... if so you'll see my point). if they follow the plot from the manga then thats a different story :D |
Lone_Viewer said: Wait a minute, there already is a second season of Fullmetal Alchemist. Is this some kind of time paradox or something? You're thinking of FUNimation's season box sets. Those don't count. |
| FMA 2nd season. cool |
dtshyk said: News: An official Announcement for the FMA2 was finally made on the cover of the original comic book vol.20! It'll be aired from Apr 2009 and 52 episodes long. Souce:MOONPHASE Darn, you beat me to it. If only I woke up 3 minutes earlier... Great news BTW. Hope they don't screw up somewhere in the middle. This confirmation needs a thread. |
| Yep, they just confirmed it. We're getting a second season of FMA without a doubt. When? No idea. |
|
| And I guarantee that despite being vastly inferior to the first season, the fanboys and fangirls on this site will help it break the top 100-150 anime in popularity, easily. Hell, if the God-awful FMA movie got such a great rating, there's no reason this won't. For the record, I loved the first 51 episodes of FMA. Great stuff. It's just everything after that has sucked. |
| This should probably be moved to news. I'm excited for this too. I loved the show and have been meaning to read the manga from where the show diverged. I hope this is a remake following the manga instead of a continuation since the series feels finished to me. I also hope the people who made the original will all be involved. |

| I am not sure how i feel about this 0_o |
