NEWS: FMA's Irie Confirms Animating Manga's End in 2 Months

Man, it's sad to see FMA go. But I've been loving these last few chapters; Arakawa's just as good as a writer as she is an artist!

......
Oh, and i hope they won't cast anyone small for Ed. I mean, i always hated all those jokes about his high.. Beside, it will piss Vic Mignogna and that's already a good reason not to cast someone small for the role

Can't help but agree with you on that.

Some other series should take note and just end already cough*Bleach*cough.

Unlike other mangaka, cough, cough Tite Kubo, cough, cough.

I was wondering if this series was going to be ongoing like Bleach.

I wouldn't rate it as highly as Death Note but it would be up there among the top 5 anime of the past decade, along with Darker Than Black, InuYasha and Monster.

It's *NOT* going to be the end for FMA.

I will bet to you that Hollywood producers are in negotiations for the rights to adapt the Manga and i'll bet we will get at least a live action big budget trilogy before there will be no more of FMA. And you know what? I have nothing against it. I actually think they could take the story to some interesting places. And beside, it will introduce FMA to most of the mainstream American audience..

Also.. The setting of the show/Manga is an alternative Germany, so that mean no race problem if they won't cast Asians for the roles..

Grammar Nazi (or rather, vocabulary Nazi) time:

"Enormity" refers to something being outrageous or heinous. It has for a long time also been used to mean that something is simply very large, but a lot of people (myself included) regard this as a mistake. Judging from the source link, I'm pretty sure you're using it in the second, debatable sense here.

Particularly in a case such as this, where the correct meaning could just as easily be applicable, it would probably be better to replace it with something less ambiguous like "immensity".

3 : the quality or state of being huge : immensity
4 : a quality of momentous importance or impact
usage Enormity, some people insist, is improperly used to denote large size. They insist on enormousness for this meaning, and would limit enormity to the meaning “great wickedness.” Those who urge such a limitation may not recognize the subtlety with which enormity is actually used. It regularly denotes a considerable departure from the expected or normal . they awakened; they sat up; and then the enormity of their situation burst upon them. “How did the fire start?” — John Steinbeck When used to denote large size, either literal or figurative, it usually suggests something so large as to seem overwhelming no intermediate zone of study. Either the enormity of the desert or the sight of a tiny flower — Paul Therou

D: but...that would just be WRONG if he wasn't small......

Besides, there is a logical reason to why Edward's growth is stunted (no, it's not because of the milk). Edward and Al both come the realization to why Edward is small and why he sleeps a lot; it's explained the the manga. In other words, its actually a fragment of the plot.

Doing a Live-Action of FMA would be awesome, but I think who ever
will direct it, needs to do it right otherwise, its going to end up like Dragonball: Evolution. And it also needs to have a good cast and I think it would be awesome if some of the Voice Actors from FMA could make a cameo
