If that's the case I hope they use the full extent of their creative freedom, as I was seriously disappointed with the filler before the movie arc started. Did they know this was their situation from the very beginning? If that is so then I can expect this prolonged filler of an anime to be trash. But if not, then I can anticipate better returns.

Even if they are in the same situation as full metal alchemist. Then why does it feel like they are still making filler to their own filler?
