When watching the end of the anime, Arakawa was intrigued as to how the staff speculated about the origins of the homunculi. Arakawa had decided to work separately from her staff, telling them to finish off the anime series while she worked on the manga since she did not want to repeat the ending in the anime and also wanted to give all of her attention to the manga. Due to the limited amount of manga material at the time of the anime series' production, the storyline of the anime began to diverge significantly from that of the original manga about half-way through the anime series.
