Full metal panic!

**blizzarddog5** · 04-06-2008, 05:39 AM

Plot: The animated series follows the events and relationships surrounding Sousuke Sagara, a professional soldier of a covert, international, anti-terrorist mercenary group named Mithril, and Kaname Chidori, a spirited Japanese high school student that, unbeknown st to her, is more than she seems.

Due to his Japanese heritage and young age, Sgt. Sousuke Sagara is selected to go undercover as a transfer student and secretly remain Kaname's undetected bodyguard. With orders only to protect her from abduction by an unknown hostile force, neither Sousuke nor his two fellow Mithril soldiers assigned to the mission - Sgt. Kurz Weber and Sgt. Major Melissa Mao - are told any further details except to remain undetected and avoid drawing attention to their charge.

the main story develops its characters carefully, and is the shadow or "unusual" events of the protagonist's life. These stories feature the mercenary group Mithril, their mobile base/submarine, called the TDD-1 Tuatha De Danaan, giant humanoid powered suits called Arm Slaves, and the various missions to which Sousuke Sagara is assigned. A highlight of the series is a serious and semi-realistic view of humanoid robotic weapons on the battlefield. The Arm Slave has significant consideration in its portrayal, with explanations given for its power source, operations, maintenance and pilot user interface. The existence of such advanced weaponry and equipment is explained through Black Technology.

My review: This has got to be one of the best anime's i have ever seen and i have seen alot! There is seriously everything you can ask for in this anime. And if you haven't seen it go see it now! On the main part Its the mecha pilot who gets the girl kinda story. The Fight scenes are so cool. Kinda resemble the gundam 00 fight scenes. And the other parts are just plain out hilarious. I would write more but its hard to explain you just have to see it

I give this a 9.5/10
If you really like it watch full metal panic fumoffu and full metal panic the second raid. both of these are sequels of this anime.

!st: full metal panic
2nd: full metal panic fumoffu
3rd: full metal panic second raid

You've already put them in the correct order.

Fumoffu is kinda like the Naruto fillers though, heavy on the comedy, light on actual drama, unlike the rest of the series.

ya that is true. but there are some pretty funny comedic moments during the regular full metal panic.

I saw this amv...titled full metal panic fuijii or something(it started with a F so probably fumoffu). Anyways...the amv had some guy and some girls there and the guy was training a rugby team to kill and stuff and he like brainwashed them kind of and the rugby players had red eyes...and they were breaking bones and stuff o.o it was creepy.

Is that what Full Metal Panic is all about o.o =[?

Nope, that's what fumoffu is about. Sort of.

Ok, look at it like this.

There's Full Metal Panic!
It's your basic Mecha series, where one chap gets assigned to be a body guard to this rather attractive girl. Thing is, he's not exactly the sociable type. All he knows is how to fight and survive, so sticking him into a normal environment like a school and having him interact with a girl who's attractive isn't exactly going to be easy. Be that as it may, this is still an action series mainly.

Fumoffu plays on the comedy angle inherent in the plotline. It also somewhat deepens the interpersonal relationship between the male lead and female lead character. Genre wise it becomes more akin to your normal school/comedy series.

Which has its consequences for Second Raid. Where you return to the full mecha/action roots and what happens when you start to care about the one placed in your care and how emotions can be a double edged sword.
