If that were the case, remaking the series taking the manga plotline as the model wouldn't have been. (sp.)

I mean, Fullmetal Alchemist finally had spawned a more loyal adaptation, and "fans" -because that'd be an incorrect term for those people- lament not having a sequel to the non canon storyline... That would be laughable: People who call themselves Fullmetal Alchemist fans and haven't read or at least having a clear concept of the manga, which is the story Arakawa sensei has planned from the very beginning, and not a filler story. This lead to this question: ¿Does the fandom know the series better than the creator? The answer is simply: NO.

Finally, either storyline were to be exploted, that would be just damaging to the Fullmetal Alchemist quality... with this statement, fans should NOT mendicate for more, and instead try something else, in order to expand their concept of manga an anime, which would bring more benefits due to experience. One example from Arakawa herself: Silver Spoon, her new-hit work which won the Shogakukan manga award, just like Fullmetal Alchemist.

Thanks, and Good Night...
