If I learned anything it's that I'm not getting anything from bandai under master grade because if this is "high" grade I'm not having it.

A lot of these reboots aren’t just about nostalgia, they’re also giving fans a “hopeful” complete adaptation (well that’s the goal) because the original anime never finished the manga or light novel story.

Do you think a reboot would find a new audience today, or do you think FMP’s popularity was really a product of the 2000s?

Imagine Sousuke playing for World cup, anyway congrats Spain! 🇪🇸

I’ve always felt that their relationship stands out from most anime couples. They’re not perfect, they clash constantly, but they genuinely help each other grow. Kaname grounds Sousuke and teaches him how to live like a normal person, while Sousuke protects Kaname and slowly learns to open up emotionally because of her.

Sagara and Tsubaki’s dream feast

I'm currently on the last episode of The Second Raid and am hesitating to finish it purely because of Chidori. At the start, I disliked her because she was annoying. When Tessa showed up, she became one of my favorite characters because she's intelligent and strong-willed; not just an annoying individual like Chidori is. I understand that Chidori has her moments throughout the show that display her usefulness, and I enjoy such moments.

But nonetheless, she is still annoying. Unfortunately. The episodes where she was absent were incredible, and the episodes with Tessa starring as a protagonist were also incredible. I tolerated Chidori for all of this time, but it started to become a problem when she started to rub off of Sousuke. Sousuke is also a character I like, but I didn't like how he completely changed when he was stripped away from the mission.

Again, I understand that this is character development, but I personally dislike it. Suddenly he won't work to protect his friends that he's known for over a year, and practically disobeys Lieutenant Commander Kalinin who he's known since childhood? That is where the "character development" becomes poor writing.

I believe I got spoiled and found out that Sousuke and Chidori got married, which I'm not surprised to know. I always end up liking the second girl more than the first, unfortunately. All in all, Chidori is extremely annoying and should've been killed off completely.

Sousuke got laid out

Such a beautiful story and animation why not a nice/amazing/lovely anime ending like other animes?
Don't leave me hanging :(
This anime is not that bad compared to other anime it has solid potential otherwise i would have never even made this post.

I have watch 20 or so good anime and many shit ones but this one has really stuck out as a gem in and with no proper ending i feel cheated :/

This is an indirect response I'm doing in a past post from another poster asking what year does FMP end

Fumoffu episode 10.

The Bonta kun assault, but Astartes.

Haven't posted in a while but good news is I am close to having all of the Full Metal Panic Dragon Magazine covers. I have a few more coming from Japan via Jauce.com

I just finished watching it for the first time, so in episode 12, sagara brings a biochemical weapon to school which everyone assumed was lethal. There was one antidote but that got broken and wasted too. At the last scene sagara takes chidori to the nursing room and tells her to strip and chidori thought he was gonna crack her, now the twist comes after this scene where we found out it was a cloth destroyer type of weapon, which sagara also found out later, now my question is since he wasn’t still aware about the actual outcome and the antidote also got wasted, why did he asked chidori to take her cloths off? Knowing sagara he ain’t the type to do “that”, so what was he gonna do?

I just received the 1/35 ARX-8 Laevatein model kit I bought on Taobao for $177 AUD.

I literally just made an account for this! I've been a fan since the early 2000s, and I'm really happy to finally be here and join the community.

I recently came back because of the FMP family, and it's been great reconnecting with something I've enjoyed for so many years. I'm especially excited that Sousuke and Kaname now have a family it makes me so happy to see how things have grown and developed.

I've been a fan for a long time, and I'm glad to be part of this community. Nice to meet all of you.

Before I say anything, I watched this a few months ago so my memory isn't that right. Anyways, I just don't understand why'd they introduce the shining powers (without the "talking to dead people" part) 3/4ths of the way in, I know it's not called that but I just remember when they were talking about it I just thought "Dude they just have the shining". I just don't know why they introduced this type of stuff so far into the series, isn't this supposed to be a military mecha anime? Like, going off course, but the MC's arc in the desert was really really good, it was devastating to see him kill his childhood friend and also see all his comrades die as well in almost the same way his old crew died as well, leaving him the sole survivor. It was an phenomenal arc. And then they just decided to introduce physic powers. I wouldn't be upset if they introduced this type of thing a bit earlier in the series but nope, we're introducing shining powers during the final arc of the show instead of doing something like making the Herorine a sleeper agent containing all the secrets of that mech or something more realistic. It just completely broke my immersion of the show and it just wasn't the same after that. But this whole issue could just be my problem and I'm just a fun police.

I remember seeing Full Metal Panic on a thumbnail somewhere and refusing to watch it because I thought it was just a rip off of Full Metal Alchemist (somehow). That was like 14 years ago! I binge watched the entire series and it’s probably one of the best anime shows I’ve watched in a long while.

It bums me out bad that there probably won’t be another season. This show is incredibly underrated!! Like legitimately. Second Raid was probably the BEST I’ve seen coming from any media in a loooong while. I don’t even watch anime that much anymore, but wow this really took the cake.

Does anyone know any good figurines I could get if they’re not crazy expensive? I went to a convention and I do remember seeing some Mechs there. Also are the written continuations good?

Thanks!!
