Same.
Hero Tales has been one huge failure to me, but thankfully I know Arakawa only provided the art and was not responsible for the story, so I'm confident helming her own series again will restore my faith in her as a one-woman comics creator.

Something else to be looking forward to for April besides Gintama and other interesting looking new shows

Her other work such as Raijin was really good, so I don't think we are going to get something like Nabuhiro Watsuki's career where he couldn't get another hit as good as Rurouni Kenshin.

I hope it'll do well enough to be brought over here. I'll throw my support behind this new title because FMA was so excellent.

Maybe Arakawa's new series won't blow this time. Though, I am wondering why she's not still with Square. Bad falling out? She wants to do a weekly manga, and Square didn't have a weekly magazine?

Did FMA blow? Of course I am biased in its favor but it seems like a major success to me.
I would be very surprised if Square Enix did not want to keep her considering FMA was one of their top manga properties. Perhaps Shounen Sunday just gave her a better offer. It seems more likely than a falling out. Shounen Sunday apparently has the weakest circulation out of the weeklies so I am sure getting Arakawa was a big deal to them.

Considering that FMA was the second most popular manga in Japan by the end than the most likely reason is that Shonen Sunday just gave her a better offer because Shonen Sunday hasn't had a major hit in years.

I am excited to see what she has in store for us now that FMA is over.
I've been wanting checking out Jyūshin Enbu - Hero Tales yet not very many people have mentioned it so I'm wondering if its any good. It sounds interesting and I plan to a blind buy of the anime series when its available.

I only own the first volume of the manga but it's not bad so far.
