I've been following Yasuhiro Irie (director of FMA: Brotherhood) on Twitter. Turns out it was worth it, if only for this tweet by him today:

"We've received Hagane's original manga up to the final chapter in storyboard form, and using that as the source, we are making the scripts and storyboards. Arakawa-san has a powerful way of working. We're stupified by the amount of material in the final chapter. Whether crying or laughing, there's only two months left."

So finally, we have confirmation that 1) the anime will be following the manga all the way to the end, and 2) both manga and anime will be ending in two months. :( I wonder just how long the final chapter is going to be though. Personally I'm hoping for like 100 pages, but I dunno how realistic that would be. XD;

I feel a slight sense of smug satisfaction over the fact I totally called the simultaneous June finish thing months ago.

But that means an end to FMA. ;_;

And yeah, I'm hoping for an epic final chapter. I mean, we need to have both the plot wrap up, and then whatever epiloguey goodness to show what happens afterwards...

PS. Just thought I'd drop you a link to this: the last chapter will be 150 pages long.

Thought you'd want to hear.

Holy shit, 150 pages?! No wonder the Brotherhood staff were so shocked, omg. XD;;; I'm really happy, but...wow, seriously, how are they going to fit that into one episode?

I don't think 100 pages is THAT farfetched considering the latest chapters have been increasingly long and ch106 had 65 pages. Maybe it's just my wishful thinking-ness talking lol.

Anyway, I'm tempted to not read the last two chapters ever, just so that FMA never ends for me. Not that I can do that, but still.

good, so that kills all unneccessary rumors about OAVs or movie and additional chapters. I'm excited to see those 2 last chapters but then, a little scared and sad ;_; from what he wrote, the final chapter is intence.... gaaahh the wait>< thank you for the info!!

Thank you for telling us. In June everything's over, for good or bad :) I can't wait to find out. Irie-san is very kind to tell the world, at least we know.

I read that - and a shiver ran down my spine.

I don't know whether to be: happy, sad, or whatever.

-sniff- I still can't believe it's ending D: But that's good news - at least the Brotherhood remake had sense. I would flip out if we got a made-up ending >.>

Nooo... it's too soon for me! But it would be a nice graduating present. x3
I hope the last 2 chapters can be a volume of pages; just make 300+ pages per chapter. x3

This seriously makes me wonder how the heck they can possibly fit all that material in a mere 22 minute episode. If Irie and his team were shocked at how long chapter 108 was, that means it has to be at least 80 pages.

No wonder his last Twitter post said something like, "Episode 63 is going to be a huge challenge for us."

That's pretty crazy. It almost makes me wish the last battle will be in OVA form so we can get 40 minutes.
