Haha, I guess you could say that in some respects! :P
At the end of the second season there were still some loose ends and a (now devastating) "We'll see you soon!" message so yeah. Still holding out hope for S3 five years later ;_;
I've done both, its quite amazing how much the anime diverges from the manga - Its basically 2003/4 FMA levels of divergence haha :P
Well if you haven't seen the second season then I would advise you to do so when possible. Season 2 takes on a notably different theme and is generally considered to be vastly superior to the first.
do you read or watch it? i tried reading the manga but the style was horrid it made my eyes hurt. i loved the anime though. Well, i never saw the second season actually.
