Yes, it's a well known fact, although "heavily involved" is a term I would use when describing M. Night Shyamalan's involvement with Avatar: The Last Airbender. As qwerty pointed out, SE published FMA. Actually, Enix published FMA originally. Also, SE was listed in the credits of the original series as well.

Before you see fit to tell some mod how to do their job, I should like to point out that General SE is part of the video game forums, so a thread about a manga or anime, even if it is a Square Enix production, still belongs in The Lounge.

As for the topic, I've seen one episode of Brotherhood. I honestly don't see a difference, but I suppose I should watch more before I make any judgement. It's also been quite some time since I've seen the original series.
