Did Hiromu Arakawa have any input on the 2003 FMA?


The 2003 Fullmetal Alchemist anime, as we all know, departed significantly
plot-wise from the manga. The mangaka for FMA is Hiromu Arakawa. Did she have
any input on the plot or production of the 2003 anime, or was it written by
other people just based on the manga?




It was directed by Seiji Mizushima, written by Shō Aikawa and co-produced by
Bones, Mainichi Broadcasting System and Aniplex. Character designs by
Yoshiyuki Itō. During the making of the anime, Arakawa was present in meetings
to advise the staff about the world of Fullmetal Alchemist, though she did not
write for the television series.
