And here I thought I'd be the only one who would say that. Seriously, the series ended on a great note, so let the permanently end for good. The anime is either near conclusion or has ended (it's been a while since I read anything FMA related in terms of anime), the manga concluded, all the games that needed to were to be made are now made, all the trading cards, OVAS, action figures, CD's and posters etc, have now been made. It's great that more material is being made, but now it feels like the series is just being milked for as long as it can. The show is over though and that is the truth. |

What's with the outcry for one side-story chapter? I'm not saying this to be rude, especially since the majority opinion is that this is a cool thing, but how is one bonus thing milking it? Honestly, it's a gift to the fans, not some kind of 'let's ruin the ending' thing, sheesh.
I'm not saying it'll be good for sure or not, but it can't be that bad. |

Her story, she can do whatever she wants because she understands her work better than anyone, it's not like some retard is adding crap to it or remaking it (I'm looking at you Michael Bay). It's the creator at work.

I think the more trivial and throw away the side story is, the better. Just something really entertaining about some of the side characters, like a funny story about what Father did to pass the time when most of the story of the manga was going on.
I'm looking forward to whatever Arakawa comes up with, though. |

I'm sorry how is a simple side story milking the franchise? It's a manga! The lady wrote it! She can do whatever she wants with it. It's not like we're seeing an announcement for "Fullmetal Alchemist Z" or anything.
Yeah, I think she knows that, that's why we're talking about a manga side story here. |

My favorite part is when Roy fights Olivier on Namek. |

Wow, didn't think anybody would actually be too mad about this.
It's just a single side-story. |

If she keeps on doing it or this turns out to be a full blown sequel than that's a problem. If it's the equivalent of Yahiko's Reverse Blade sword where we get an additional chapter than that's fantastic.

Ooh, a side story! Maybe it'll be published by Viz.

I think everyone forgot that each Fullmetal Alchemist volume published has a side story at the end. And she has done side story chapters before too.

Does Kunokuniya carry this magazine? Because I want that figurine so bad...
How can you *not* be happy about a side story written by the creator? It's not like they announced a live-action movie directed by M. Night Shamylan or anything...*cough* I'm really excited about this! 
Oh, and you guys talking about the "side stories she already did"---are you referring to her 4-panel gag strips? I don't think those are actual side stories, just tankoban extras. (Oh, and I'm pretty sure J.K. Rowling wrote a HP side story-it was called the "Epilogue"  )

The FMA:B ending was probably the best, most satisfying ending of an manga-based TV series I've seen in a while.
The primary reason was they committed a whole episode to the wrap-up instead of just the last three minutes. That said, I wouldn't mind a side-story as long as it doesn't 'hurt' the happy ending. |
