“Prospects of a Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Sequel Explored”
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, based on Hiromu Arakawa’s acclaimed manga, is hailed as one of the greatest works in manga history. Its steampunk setting, compelling narrative, and memorable characters have continued to captivate audiences, maintaining its popularity even after two decades.
Following the recent release of the sixth light novel, fans are eagerly speculating about the possibility of a new sequel for the anime adaptation.
While Fullmetal Alchemist boasts a dedicated fanbase within the manga and anime community, there has been no official confirmation from the production studio Bones regarding a sequel to the anime. Consequently, it appears unlikely that the series will make a return to the screen in the foreseeable future.
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood serves as a faithful adaptation of the manga, surpassing the original 2003 series, and concluded its run more than a decade ago in 2010.
In 2021, when the sixth light novel titled Fullmetal Alchemist: A New Beginning (Arata na Hajimari) was released in English by VizMedia, fans worldwide anticipated a sequel to the Brotherhood anime. However, the novel had actually been published much earlier in Japan, back in 2007. VizMedia acquired the license to release the manga globally at a later date.
Prior to this, Makoto Inoue had written five other Fullmetal Alchemist light novels that served as spinoffs of the original manga. These novels continued the journey of the Elric brothers, Alphonse and Edward, as they embarked on new adventures in their pursuit of the Philosopher’s Stone.
Below is a list of the Fullmetal Alchemist light novels along with their original release dates:
- Fullmetal Alchemist: The Land of Sand (February 28, 2003)
- Fullmetal Alchemist: The Abducted Alchemist (September 26, 2003)
- Fullmetal Alchemist: The Valley of White Petals (April 30, 2004)
- Fullmetal Alchemist: Under the Faraway Sky (October 29, 2004)
- Fullmetal Alchemist: The Ties That Bind (June 30, 2005)
- Fullmetal Alchemist: A New Beginning (March 22, 2007)
The first light novel, The Land of Sand, was adapted into episodes 11 and 12 of the original Fullmetal Alchemist series (2003-2004).
Additionally, Fullmetal Alchemist has seen adaptations into live-action movies, with Ryosuke Yamada portraying Edward Elric. The latest installment in the movie series, Fullmetal Alchemist: The Last Transmutation, was released in 2022.
