most people in the west had probably never heard of FMA until the 03' anime and got into it that way. Not to mention that Arakawa herself encouraged BONES to do their own thing, and some of the later parts of the manga were pretty clearly influenced by FMA 03's success)

even just because of the manga's continued popularity at the time. It almost certainly had to do with the 03' anime being stupid successful and Aniplex wanting to keep that gravy train rolling. In a way I guess that kind of foreshadowed the modern trend of anime reboots ,

Also ya know with how much FMA:B is propped up as the ideal adapation you'd think it'd mean the manga would be held in the same regard over here, but if anything, Brotherhood has probably encouraged most westerns to check out the manga LESS because of how "faithful" it is
