Information is scarce, but Canned Dogs is reporting (http://zepy.momotato.com/2008/07/04/bones/) that Japanese animation studio Bones has a sequel to Fullmetal Alchemist (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fullmetal_Alchemist) in its planning stages - with Irie Yasuhiro (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=3555) as the director, and that they're "working on" a sequel to Darker Than Black (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darker_than_black). The information comes via a leaked private document that contains personal information of the staff involved, and other unfortunate information for the company involved.
Update: Studio Bones have issued an official statement (http://www.bones.co.jp/news/archives/000529.html) explaining that the document was leaked by a third party, thus being fake, and that the document doesn't exist inside Bones' office. One discrepancy remains however, that being only one of the animators on the list - the Mnemosyne anime director - included all their real personal information such as phone numbers and addresses. Canned Dogs also notes (http://zepy.momotato.com/2008/07/06/bones-says-animator-list-is-fake/) that nowhere on Bones' official statement does it say that legal action will be taken or that the police will be involved.
