Darn, so BONES isn't animating it. I'd never even heard of Studio Flag until now (and apparently they haven't been involved in very much anime to date). It seems that there's going to be a somewhat experienced staff behind the production for the most part though, so here's hoping for the best. |

It means "script / screenplay." While the word "scenario" can mean script / screenplay, it is not as often used in this way as the latter two but is very common in Japanese (written in katakana). This also applies to "roadshow" (movie premiere) and "onanism" (masturbation); both terms are rarely seen in English but still very common in Japan.
Done. |

With how soon an anime adaptation is starting, I'm assuming they had an anime adaptation in mind from the very beginning, and the manga was really a promotion of sorts for it(?). The Mai-HiME manga started a few months before the anime did, but it was already known that it was an adaptation of the anime from the start.
Also, it's not that unheard of for a mangaka to do two manga at once (Oh Great! is doing Air Gear and Tenjho Tenge at the same time...Clamp does like a million at once, etc.) |

dormcat, you rule 
Now I'm of course then expecting the information to be immaculate here, and it says that Arakawa is only the character designer, not even responsible for the original concept let alone writing anything. Makes sense to me - being a mangaka really is a full-time job in it's own right. |

Actually, in an interview, she said that she had actually requested that the anime storyline be different from the manga's. |

I so agree with you about Hagaren! The manga has a better storyline and, above everything else, better characters development than the anime... the anime is still a masterpiece for other reasons, though. ^^ About Studio Flag, well,,, let's cross our fingers! ^^ |

Do you have a link to that interview? That would be an interesting read. Or is it in one of the profiles books? |

Well I read the interview in question on a Live Journal site about two years ago but I can't find it now
 . However, I remember it was a interview from a magazine and the entry actually supplied scans of the magazine, along with a translation. So in my opinion the story is 100% accurate and it isn't a case of made up/mis- information becoming "fact" on accident (which does happen in all fandoms - it's a pitfall that happens at time with information distribution  ). I guess your best bet in finding the original article would be to do a Google search or check around at FMA fansites and see if anyone has it posted or has a link to it posted.
