Will there be any more FMA?

[Mitchell]

I think there maybe will be a 2nd season, considering the end was a bit lame and kind of open like it always has with anime. But as FMA is such a popular anime, i think they will consider making a FMA 2.

[Komataguri]

Um, dude.


They were in the 4th season. A season is 13 episodes.

BONES has already announced that the movie will be the closure for the series... and anyway BONES has never made any 2nd part for any of it's series.... I think

Where do people keep getting this? A season doesn't have to be 13 episodes. For example, Ragnarok the Animation's first season was 26 episodes, Digimon Season 1 is 54 episodes, Fullmetal Alchemist is a single season of 51 episodes.

Just because they change the intro and outro doesn't nessessarily have to make it a new season.

Where do we get this? Here's how:

The year is divided into four primary broadcast seasons, each lasting roughly three months or 12/13 weeks (depends on the lengths of the months). If a show, like Fullmetal Alchemist, is aired for 51 weeks straight we say it has had four season because it has aired over the span of four seasons. Interestingly enough, most shows will change their opening and ending songs/animations to match the changes in the broadcast season which is why people associate changing openings and ending to new seasons.

Then again, maybe it makes more sense, as you suggested, to just arbitrarily decide the length of a season differently for each series.

I can see that you're new on this forum. Just a friendly advice, we don't call people dumb or idiots just because they have a different opinion then you or didn't know some little thing.

Funny threads are the forums gift to people with a sense of humor

Of course I rarely see something as cool as this

"I think there maybe will be a 2nd season, considering the end was a bit lame and kind of open like it always has with anime. But as FMA is such a popular anime, i think they will consider making a FMA 2."

My hat goes off to you.

[MasafumiGotoh]

FMA 2 would surely suck because it will go back and forth from Al to Edward which is a waste of time. Cant really grasp the storyline if it does that too much. Also half of it would be about alchemy. Edward's part would be about mechanics and magic. Sounds dull to me.

I guess I can see where that comes from, but I do personally like to think that a "season" change also incorperates either some sort of change of name in the title or a significant change in location (if the show were taking place in a single region for 13 episodes and then moved to a differernt area for the next 13). For me, it's way less confusing. Especially since some shows' second season is refered to as whatever season 2, or season 3. You could end up making people think you refer to the second season rather than episodes 14-26 of the first season.

I like to think of Fullmetal Alchemist as 1 season or one season with 4 arcs since there is no official title change such as "Fullmetal Alchemist season..." 1, 2, 3, 4.

I doubt it... I mean.. .what else could they do.. after the movie

Oh that logic is perfect then.

Gundam Seed's 50 something episodes must be one season, and Naruto's 110 Episodes are one season, ect ect.


Afterall, The Season does not change unless the name changes, Right? So there can be 500 episodes in a single season!

A name change doesn't indicate a new season, it just indicates a new sequal after it. A "season" is defined exactly the same as the four seasons we have in a year: Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. It's the same for most shows, not just anime. Looking at TV shows such as Law and Order, The O.C., North Shore, Sex in the City and others all have multiple season premieres and season finale episodes. The season changed, but did their name change? Nope, not at all.

An "arc" is usually just a part that focuses on a certain place and storyline. Not sure how to explain it, but for example, Rurouni Kenshin has many arcs such as the Kyoto Arc, etc.

Actually, the term for that (at least in Japan) is a "cool". FMA is four "cools" but its not four "seasons".

I consider Television and anime different in seasons. Unlike most american TV shows, anime does not run a new episode from September to March and then air repeats the rest of the year. Anime shows tend to run a new episode every week of the year and not show reruns 5 months of the year while they make a new continuation for the fall. These shows have distinct breaks and offseaons. And while they may not change names, people do often refer to some of these as "the second season of whatever", or the third etc.

If you're being sarcastic, then so be it, but I do think GS as being 1 season. I have no idea what to consider naruto though really, most anime that I've seen doesn't look like it's going to have 300+ episodes in it under the same title. I realize there are several animes running in the 100+ episode numbers, but that is (hopefully) not the norm since most stuff I've seen doesn't exceed 50-75 episodes before it ends.

[Komataguri]

So.

So, Elaborate for us.. Your complex and contrived meaning of season.

Obviously, its not like you said it is. Because you just said naruto is not a season, Because its to long.

You just said Gundam Seed was not a season because, well, Who knows what reason?

I don't know if you misread my post or mistyped there, but for me personally, Gundam Seed is 1 season. Personally (yes, you can disagree if you want, since it's not your opinion) in general, a season is a single unbroken set of airrings where the show for the most part takes place in a fairly defined setting (region, ie, [I know this sucks] pokemon's indego region, the orange islands, etc) with the same title. Or alternatively, if a show is going to have a known number of episodes, that can generally be assumed as a season. FMA we knew there were going to be 50 some episodes with 4 different intro/outro pairs, they didn't announce they were going to make 13 episodes and then as the show was broadcast announce they would be continuiung the series with an additional x episodes. There are problems with both my way, and also just considering a season every 13 episodes a la broadcasting seasons in Japan.

But when someone asks if a show is going to have a second season, do you automatically think that the person is asking "will the show have episodes numbered 13-26" or "will this show have a sequal airring at a point sometime in the future after the number of episodes announced for this show has completed airring".

I think most people would have a problem classifying a show where there are no major breaks in the airring schedual, the total number of episodes isn't announced and the show looks like it's going to easily be 300 plus episodes.
