A leaked list of Bones animators revealed a second season Fullmetal Alchemist and Darker than BLACK. The list apparently also contains phone numbers and home addresses of said animators.

Edit: [profile=dtshyk]dtshyk[/profile] of MAL has uploaded the the files with the personal information blacked out.
File 54 No.74 入江秦浩　"鋼2監督"　Irie Yasuhiro: FMA2 Director
File 56 No.355 真庭秀明　"鋼2キャラデ"　Maniwa Hideaki: FMA2 Character Design

Update: Representative director of Bones, Minami Masahiko has posted a statement claiming the lists are fake and that they are not from Bones. However, Ueda Shigeru, Mnemosyne director, received a fax from an unnamed company apologizing for the leakage of his personal information. He checked the list and said the phone number and address listed for him was correct. Bones did not specifically deny the second season of either of these shows.

UpdateUpdate: MOONPHASE, which I'm sure anybody who keeps up on the latest anime has heard of, said he received a tip a few months ago that Bones was planning to announce a new Fullmetal Alchemist anime that would follow the original anime.

Okay, fine. Obviously the News Mods think differently.

Sorry for merging the other stuff, please direct all your FMA 2 posts to this topic now.

This post is for Darker Than Black 2 (and the leak of BONE's secret file). Sorry for the confusion.

There isnt gonna be a second season of FMA, they are completely redoing the anime to follow the manga more closely.

Sauce? I've seen this around but nothing that explains why this isn't just manga fans wishful thinking. Seems a bit odd to call it FMA2 if it's a remake, too.

Recheck the first page of this thread and see for yourself. Unlike the DTB rumor, the FMA rumor was followed up by whispers that a remake was in the work. It's as much of a rumor as the FMA season 2 rumor, but this one seems more credible. Check the first post of this very thread.

Ouch, that's pretty harsh (comments I mean) and $50 compensation O_O?

Lol, exactly what crossed my mind. I would have made them eat the money. I am not well versed in Japan's legal system, but that could easily grant them thousands in compensation in the US court.

Ouch, that's pretty harsh (comments I mean) and $50 compensation O_O? But I wouldn't mind a season two of FMA =D

Stupid leak. I could care less about other studios (GONZO), but please. Oh PLEASE don't mess up with BONES.

They said they failed to determine the culprit. BONES will pay 5000 yen ($50) for the compensation to the animators whose names were on the leaked list.

I loled.

BONES held an explanatory meeting for the leak on Nov 8th
At the meeting, BONES apologized for the leak and explained that the leaked Excel file was made and uploaded from an internet cafe. They said they failed to determine the culprit. BONES will pay 5000 yen ($50) for the compensation to the animators whose names were on the leaked list.

According to 2channel BONES thread, the atmosphere of the meeting was volatile and filled with roars.

Ah...curiosity takes the best of me and wants to know what kind of humiliating remarks were given and on what document @_@...and does anyone know who leaked the info?

The comments on the document is so unpleasant and disrespectful. He/she evaluated most of the animators by A to C and added some notes like "troublesome character", "about to be fired", "poor drawing", "slow in works", "dropped to Hentai anime", "girl friend of ****", "a war criminal (implying the animator ruined some anime)" etc. etc.

As for the culprit, Kudou Masashi (General key animation director of BLEACH movie) said the document included his cell phone number, which only B-studio staff of BONES knew.
