icv2 reports that Full Metal Alchemist will be getting a second series. Sequel series that picks up after the movie? Re-done version that sticks closer to the manga (ala Hellsing)? The adventures of the protagonist pair’s alter-egos in our world during the early 30’s? The article doesn’t say, but I’m skeptical that anything will be able to compare to the original. As far as wrapping up every plot thread, it seems like they did a pretty darn good job the first time around.

Definitely wouldn’t mind a sequel series that ignored the movie…the original series did wrap things up very nicely (one of the disagreements I have with a good friend who demands fan service to no end), but it may be interesting to see Alphonse’s efforts to find Ed again…maybe…
My money is on a redone version sticking closer to the manga…although, that’s probably not what I’ll get…

Give me alchemy, character development, and a good plot and I’ll be fine.
