Well, there was 68 pages or whatever of content (69, I guess, after title page since that counts for volumes), so it could still be 80 if there were 11 pages of exposition or interviews or whatever. And 150 wouldn't be that unlikely if you include pages like those in the count. Being the final chapter and all, I'd expect interviews, recaps, character sketches, etc.

There is NO mention anywhere in the magazine that there are 80 pages of FMA or 150 pages of FMA next month. It was simply made up. |

Since when did anyone scan every last page of a magazine in, anyway? Last I checked, it's usually just the chapter itself that gets scanned. You seem awful "eager" to jump on people for no real reason. |

Where would you suppose the 150 page count for the next chapter came from then, assuming you want to believe it is true? Maybe there's a 10 page interview with Arakawa and in it she mentions that the final chapter is 150 pages? A 10 page interview which no FMA fan has decided to mention, scan or translate? Think about it rationally for a moment. Are you saying that if I started a rumor that chapter 107 was 75 pages long, and that the final chapter would be 160 pages long, that because I almost got the page count right, you would believe that the other part of my rumor is also true? This is how rumors get spread very quickly and get taken as fact because people like to believe stuff even when there is no proof. When the final chapter finally comes out, and it's like, 80 pages, we'll have people going "Damn what is this? I thought it was supposed to be 150 pages?!". It's just terrible. |

I'm basing it (not the specific count, but the fact it's going to be huge comparatively) on something you yourself used for logic:

FMA is an extremely popular manga, pretty much ALL extra features in Gangan every month gets scanned along with the chapter. Maybe you don't see them because you only read it on sites which only carry the translated chapters, but I always see all the extra stuff scanned: interviews, ads for the CDs, anime, DVDs, games, etc, and so on. They never amount to more than 2-3 pages, and this month is no different. I'm sorry if I really sound like I'm ramming it down your throat, but I'm trying to clarify that there is NO basis in the rumor, and it's obvious we've been duped. Unless you want to believe that an anonymous 2ch post without any further details is more trustworthy than people who regularly buy the magazine monthly. |

Man, this chapter's a lot better when I can understand what they're saying. I just know when they get around to animating that part, I'm going to be BAWWWing like a little girl... Damn if Arakawa ain't the best at what she does... ^_^

Gave in and read the available crappy quality scanlation.
Looks like BONES did use some of Arakawa's plans for the ending in the first anime series. Anyways, don't know what to say about the chapter other than that it was great. I would've "felt" it more if Father had been a more compelling villain though. The title page with all the heroes was pure win, especially Hughes' and Havoc's appearances. |
