Isn't the new FMA anime going to be following the manga's storyline?

The reason the first FMA anime is different (after a few episodes) is because the manga wasn't anywhere near finished. Not sure how close it is to ending now.

Though, that makes me wonder, if the new anime is following the manga's plotline, are they going to skip/summarize the first few parts? Because they are the same thing pretty much... And there's no reason to animate the same thing. o-o

But... but... was the movie just a possible alternate ending then? And in no way connected to the actual story...

'Cause Ed and Al ended up living in 'our world'.

is this true ? o.o any proof ? I love FMA !

The source that I know of is that on one of the recent manga there was a loose ad that mentioned it.

could we see a screenshot or picture ?

YAY!!!

Spring? i hope it's ur spring and not my spring.. LOL

it sounds so confusing is koager talking about S1 or S2?!

(or manga... or anime :lost: so lost)

Spring would be Japan's spring since that's where the anime is coming from :p
I think its sometime in april or may?
whenever this boring winter season lineup finishes + 1 week break

I first said that I watched S1
then I read the manga
then "ZOMG its so different"
and then asked what will S2 be about since S1 pretty much ended the series so its not like S2 can pick up from where S1 left off like most S2 do

Also, characters have died in the anime that are still alive in the manga. :/

^Really? Which characters are those? o-o I know of characters that died in the manga but in some way or another, are alive in the anime.

<- Never finished the anime, not that interested at the moment.

Anyways, I tried to find the scan that mentioned the new FMA anime, but I'm not sure what chapter it was clumped with and after doing a quick browse, I gave up trying. xD

I like the direction the manga went more. There was a bit of a dull point (for me) somewhere between the beginning and the middle, but after that, my interest went up.

That dull point might have been due to me seeing the anime version of it and not interested in reading basically the same thing again. I started the manga first, but stopped, watched part of the anime, stopped, picked up the manga again, stopped, and then started to watch the anime again, and once more, stopped.

Much later I started to read the manga again. I'll probably finish the anime when the manga ends.
