anime based on manga or other way around?

i was wandering if the fma manga came first as this is the case fr most anime.

[ColdFire]

yes, manga was first. Didn't need its own thread for this though.

[Dream_Walker]

yeah, guess your right but i couldn't figure out where to post it

[NMK]

you could have posted it in the fma anime spam zone (i think they have one?)

and yeah the manga was first, its almost always that way, i think
