Do you ever get the feeling...?

There are a few things out there for FMA like the extra episodes, they gave me quite a chuckle. Continuing the story of FMA would be good in a way, not sure id watch it.

I hope they carry FMA on... this time following the manga. >_>

There's nothing else to do in BONES adapation, at all.

I think the movie was actually okay. Not the best, but okay. As for another series, please no.

I know we all wanting for the anime to carry on. But in the end, they have a reason to end it. Otherwise, they all end up bad, with bad plots. Remember the DBZ fiasco? They should've ended it at the Frieza Saga

Continuin DBZ was ok, but theyve taken it to far.
Some of the series plots were good but it all got to hectic for me so i stopped watching it years ago. Although the games are quite funny to play :p

The movie was awesome. I curse people like you for convincing me that the movie would be bad, because it absolutely was not bad, it was immensely enjoyable and packed the same emotional punch that the series did.

Also, what? There's tonnes left to do in Bone's adaptation of FMA.

Thre best thing about the movie was Wrath vs Gluttony. Everything else was terrible, I don't really need to explain my reasons, as most people have already heard them numerous times.

The Gate is destroyed, how are they going to get back? Unless they pull off some crappy idea like "OMG, THERE'S MORE THAN ONE GATE." FMA is pretty much over, dawg, the OVAs finally ended.

And who says the story can't continue in our world?
 
Do you want it to be Full Metal Alchemist, or do you want Full Metal Engineer? Because if you want Full Metal Alchemist then it's not going to happen in our world, you saw it yourself in the movie, alchemy is a no-go.
 
Lupus isn't wrong like. It was a good series and movie but at the end of the day it's really comes down to dead end in story. There's nothing to suggest there'll be any more. The best you could hope for would be a spin off but even then it wouldn't be Fullmetal Achemist. It's just one of those series you should just love it and leave it. Besides it would spoil it if they did any more.
 
As much as I frequently get the "I want more!" feeling (More FMP please!), sometimes a proper ending is a good thing. Gurren Lagann ended pretty conclusively, and despite feeling a little sad, I was also happy that it ended so well.

I wouldn't mind it to be honest, in fact it probably has the potential to be even better than the first series. Show how they survived through our second world war and having to adjust to the new world. Trouble is that the mass majority of fans would just slag it off at every turn because there's no 'supah magics' anymore. With the characters already established from the previous series I think it could be a winner if it was handled properly.

I liked the movie as well, it was no masterpiece and I prefered the open ending to the TV series but it was some solid entertainment in my opinion.

I agree, but I think Bones would be able to do that and keep the majority of fans happy, too.

As regards to the characters stuck in Amestris (Winry, MUstang etc.), it would be a good idea to continue their stories alongside Ed and Al's adventures.
 
I get that all the time with a vast variety of Anime. Perhaps the most notable is in Sailor Moon, Where there is endless filler, but out of the blue you get about 11 action packs and ultimately brilliant episodes at the end of R which always made me think that should have gone on THAT way.

Of course it is a case of trying to pad out series to a length, but then creating a suitable climax (which is usually rushed because they didn't give the climax space too breathe)

I don't know, I think continuing the stories in the other world would be more of a hindrance than enhance the story. One of the worst things I think they could do was to have them try and get back to their world again. I think the best route for the story to be sucessful would be that they are stuck and there's no way in getting back so they've got to make it the best they can in their new world.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking - but the characters stuck in Amestris would, for want of a better expression, 'get over it' and continue with their lives as well?

The main concern with the series should be as always with the bond between the two brothers as it's main focus. That's how I see it anyway. I'm not saying that the older characters should completely be forgotten, they could and should still make reference to them but they shouldn't be a big focal point of the series as actually seeing them wouldnt really be relevant unless they plan on trying to bring them back.
 
If anyones watched Spiral, that's a prime example of an anime that needed a sequel. You end up knowing just as much about the Blade Children as you knew after the first episode. 26 episodes and all you know is that they're cursed, the main characters brother is somehow related in some way to them and they're missing a rib..... Not an awful lot of closure. lol
