Yeah, pretty much. faulerro basically made his own Naruto Abridged Movie (alone with a whole bunch of other abridgers) and some people got pissed at him so he made Nullmetal Alchemist in response as a one-off thing. People loved it so much he decided to make more.
The lesson: every time you make fun of the Naruto Abridged series, you will make some infinitely better.
