Yes, SHE is female. Don´t know when it was revealed.

I´m actually under the impression, that Akito was always female (yes, that includes the anime, just because the Mangaka revealed it after the anime was doesn´t, doesn´t make Akito any less female), with some of the others knowing, but they all just made a secret out of it, not to harm her.
"But you can´t see any breats!" Ever heard of very flat chest? Long time ago, when women weren´t allowed to fight they disguised themselfs as men.

In the anime his robe was wide open, there were no breast, and he had pecs.

If the Mangaka revealed that Akito was a female after the anime was made, then wouldn't the series still have him as male since he was drawn as one and no one knew that he was supposed to actually be female at the time?

This is what happenes if you make an Anime without having proof by the Manga. Anime maker should´ve waited until she revealed it. Mangaka made Akito, so she should know what Gender she is. Now you have two Akito, the Male Anime Version and the real (as in female) Manga Akito.

Actually, the mangaka changed Akito's sex to female and created a backup story long after the anime finished. She was retarded enough to explain her decision with "oh, JUST AS PLANNED from the start". Interesting she never told this to the anime staff, so Akito was male in the anime.

Akito's a reverse trap?

You overestimate how much creative control a mangaka has over an anime production.

Furthermore, why tell the anime staff and potentially blow your big plot twist a year before you get to it? Then you're accused of stealing ideas from the director.

Well the great plot twist was tiggered (i dunno if this is true or not, ya know internet rumor) by yaoi doujins. The mangaka was pissed and changed the gender.

The reason it was revealed after the anime was made was because the Anime only covers the first 8 books. You don't get to know Akito is female until book 17.

You gotta love these gender debates about the gender bender.

I say let some people have their male Akito and other's have their female.

We know. The whole point is, Akito is drawn as a man and even has a very manly voice in the anime. If she intended to turn Akito into a woman at the time the anime was being created, she would not have had them draw Akito with an exposed male chest on several occasions, nor would she have let them cast such a masculine voice. If she intended to do it all along she would have said "no, it needs to be like this/no, that's not Akito's voice/no, Akito doesn't let his clothing sag open so don't expose his body". There are a ton of ways she could have told them what not to do without revealing any secrets. The fact is, she did not yet have the intention, so she didn't bother objecting.

Again, you are assuming that the mangaka has creative control over the production of an anime. What the director decides for the anime and what the mangaka decides for the manga are SEPARATE THINGS, which I believe was the point of this thread. Post some fuckin' anime male!Akito and stop crapping your panties that the mangaka ruined your yaoi fantasy.

Uh, no. The director is not given free reign to do whatever the hell he wants, or to make up whatever the hell he wants unless all rights of the series are signed over to him, and that is not the case here. It is just like when a director approaches an author to do a movie about their book. The author is involved in the process, is consulted and is asked to clarify things. If something as important as that were to go against her wishes, they would have listened.

*snort*

Tell that to Naoko Takeuchi, who had a legendary shitfit that the anime for Sailormoon Stars turned the Starlights into men in their non-Senshi forms, when in the manga they were never male, just women who crossdressed. She wasn't consulted and there wasn't a damn thing she could do about it. See also Chrono Crusade--the anime pretty much raped the original manga and Daisuke Moriyama was obviously not happy with what the anime did. Again, he had no say in the process.

You're fooling yourself if you think that the original creator has any control or say what an anime does to the original story, because 99.9% of the time, that's ain't the case. The deals for the anime are usually cut with the publishing companies who usually hold majority control of the rights--NOT the original author.

Quoted for absolute truth.

Lets not forget too that the second half of FMA the anime series was written by BONES and the manga is still being serialized (and is quite fucking better than the anime IMHO).

Or that such a thing as fillers exist (see Naruto and Bleach fillers).

Or that Inu Yasha ended early too with the manga still running currently (with Kikiyo kicking the bucket again!).

Or that the Sailor Moon manga and anime are like light and day when it comes to differences.

Really, the only titles that get by the book anime adaptations without some studio director mucking with it are really high-profile ones like Death Note, and even then, the manga finished before the anime started.

well, the fillers were boring and a bit redundant, but besides them the naruto anime follows the manga pretty fucking closely. the fillers were only done too so that the manga could catch up so that they wouldnt have to do what they did to fma, without stopping production altogether
