Manyu Hikencho - Decision of making TV animation

[saibott]

Is there anyone else who was disappointed this was yet another unfaithful anime adaptation? By unfaithful I mean that it was for example: like the second half of the first FullMetal Alchemist series in that they did their own thing. Granted FMA ran into the problem of out pacing an incomplete manga source, however if you take the 1 manga chapter = 1 anime episode route that would make it volume 1 (ch1-6) and 1 shy of volume 2 (ch7-13)for our first 12 episodes, which is as many as we are getting as far as we know(right?). That seems like a very fast paced anime to me so break it up into 2 episodes per chapter? I don't know.

I was excited when I heard there would be an anime of it, so that I could finally know what was going on in the other volumes, as no one has completed translating the first or started any of the others. Would anyone else like this to be similar to FMA in that the first version was put out to fund the actual anime (FMA Brotherhood)?
